Sniper Hog Lights Hunt..

Huge thank you to our friends at Sniper Hog Lights for an awesome weekend in beautiful South Texas!

Joe prepared an awesome meal!

Some Pork, Elk, and Veggies. Yum!

Then Kenan and I spent some time practicing with our bows. This was my first time ever shooting my compound bow and I think I may be addicted now.

Nice set up boys!

Of course I had to hook Joe up with some Pink Zebra.

Off to the lease…

And we wait.. decided to go with my .308. We named her “Death”.

Unfortunately we didn’t see any pigs just a squirrel and a opossum but that’s ok. Definitely a fun day/night and will be going again soon.

Until then I’ll keep practicing my archery skills until I become a #badassbowhuntress 😉

5 Years Later…

So I have sat down to write this entry at least 4 times. I just don’t know where to start.  The pain of losing my mom is as real today at it was when we said “Goodbye for a little while.” five years ago.   Has it become easier to deal with, yes… does it still hurt.. yes.

A good friend of mine told me the other day. “Would you rather have never met this person and not feel any pain or would you rather have loved this person and have this pain?”  The answer is simple.  It was a great loss but a great love!  I would rather carry the pain around with me everyday than to have never met my mother.

I know what she would say if she were hear.  Go.. live your life. Make me proud.  I know I am doing that but I feel like my grief is holding me back.  Is it time to let go of the pain I’ve come to cling to as a child clings to it’s favorite toy? I think so.  It’s time to remember all the good and cherish the memories that we made.  The emptiness will always be there but the pain… it’s time for the pain to fade.  Time for me to honor her with my life.. I will always miss you mom, until we meet again….

Your Daughter,

Emily

And The Heart Stopped..

So I’ve been abset this past week due to one of the scariest situatuions our family has been through in a long time.

Last Monday night my brother’s heart stopped. My brother in law was able to preform CPR and keep blood pumping while paramedics rushed to their home.  Steve was taken to the nearest hospital and stabilized.  Upon further tests he was lifelighted to Texas Medical Center in downtown Houston. Steve had 2 tears in his Aorta.  He would need emergency surgery to save his life.  What the doctors did, still blows my mind.  They were going to crack open his chest, repair the two tears in the aorta all while freezing his brain to stop circulation.  

For 7 long hours our family gathered. We cried together, laughed together, but mostly we prayed together.  Steve was only 49 and we were not ready to say goodbye.  God is a miracle worker for sure.  Prognosis was it could take 24 hours to 2 weeks for Steve to wake up from the surgery, he woke up in less than 6 hours!!  He would be on a ventalator for a while, that came out 2 hours after he woke up.  He would be in the hospital up to 10 days.  He was released yesterday.  A short 5 days after the surgery.  He is able to walk, sit, feed himself, and is now at home resting.  The doctor said that once he opened my brother up, he had less that 12 hours to live. This is proof that God was there, using modern medicine to save his life.  His road to recovery is nothing more than God’s hand on Steve and healing him.  By medical standards, he should not have recovered so fast. Well, they don’t know my God!  He’s been working mircales for thousands of years, yeah.. He’s got this.

Thank you for all of those that messaged, called, texted, and prayed for my brother.  Our whole family got a reality check.  We lost our mom 2 years ago and the thought of losing Steve too was just too much to bear.  

We are truly blessed.  

Today would have been my mom’s 77th birthday.  Happy Birthday to you mom in Heaven.  It’s hard celebrating without you here with us, but I know you’re celebrating up there.  In the arms of our Savior Jesus Christ.

I pray for many blessings for you today. That you could see the hand of God as clearly as we have this past week.  Cherish these memories you have with your loved ones while they are still here.  You never know when the heart will stop.

Blessings upon Blessings,

Emily Dibrell

Addicted to Periscope!

One of my fellow Pink Zebra sisters started using Periscope a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been hooked from that point on!!!!! 

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Periscope, it’s a recently launched Social Media platform thru Twitter. It’s taking the shareable moments to a whole new level!! Now you can broadcast live anywhere you are! Periscope is approximetly 5 months old and already has 10 million users worldwide. While this app is not yet available on Windows, you can grab the free app on Android or IOS. 

The weath of information running thru Periscope is amazing! I’ve personally gained almost 100 followers in less 4 days from my first broadcast!! Goodbye Facebook. Now videos called “scopes”are only saved for 24 hours, you have the option to save to your device and upload elsewhere. You can do private scopes, share other useres scopes on Twitter, and my favorite perk is the hearts! Yes I said hearts! During a live scope or playback you can tap your screen to give the user hearts. The more hearts, the higher your ranking!

Go check it out. It’s something new and exciting for those of us that are getting bored with Facebook, Instagram, etc!! 

Tell me what you think!!! 

Love, Emily

   

When You Feel Like Giving Up…

Giving up is easy. Pushing forward is hard. 

The last two years since I started my own Direct Sales business there have been countless times I was ready to throw in the towel. That’s it.. I’m done.. I can’t do this anymore, are just a few of the phrases that have come out of my mouth. Tears… Oh yeah. You can bet I’ve cried my fair share of tears over my business. People quit on me, someone said something ugly to me, I missed the promotion, things aren’t moving forward as fast as I want them to.  Does this sound familiar?  If so keep reading.

What if we were to have given up when times got hard? We can quit a job, move, but we can’t quit life. We still wake up everyday to a new sunrise. Life keeps moving forward. Time doesn’t stop. 

I’ve had a rough several years under my belt. Having my mother move into a nursing home, countless trips to the E.R., hospital stays, financial problems, hospice, and finally her funeral.  I’ve been dreaming about her every night lately. It’s hard to function when I wake. Reality comes back and I realize that she isn’t here. I’ve cried and begged God for a time out! Just a few minutes, make the clock stop. It never happens. 

When I feel like quitting God reminds me, the answers are always in his Word. Abraham never quit trusting God. Moses wandered the desert for 40 years. Esther went before the king to save her people. Paul was beaten and broken.  Jesus knew how He would die but still willingly went to the cross.  Throughout the whole bible are stories of amazing men and women who didn’t give up. King David wanted to.. He cried out to God day and night. He kept going and was richly blessed.  

So what do we do when we feel like giving up? A wise man once said,”Never quit on a bad day.” Read the bible, take the day off, take a walk, turn your phone off. When you’ve come to the end of your rope, keep hanging on. The emotion will pass. Then you try ONE MORE TIME.  How many people have quit without trying one more time? 

It’s been 2 years and I’m still with my company. I am grateful for my husband and friends who wouldn’t let me quit. Don’t let fear own you. Try one more time! Stick with whatever you are doing and give it one more shot. So many people quit when the road seems impossible. Not knowing they were SO close to their breakthrough. You have to go through it to get there.  Trust me my friends, it’s worth it.

So take a day off, go to a movie, hang with friends or family, anything besides what you feel like quitting. Then come back and give it one more shot. If you’re reason why is big enough, you’ll keep going. Just like Jesus did.

Blessings to you,

Emily Dibrell

Pink Zebra Reunion 2015 – Coming Soon!!

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am for our 4th Family Reunion with Pink Zebra!! This will be my second one to attend since joining a little less than 2 years ago.  Last year due to Kenan’s work schedule, he was not able to attend Reunion 2014 in Nashville with me.  My brother and I took a road trip full of excitement together!  This year Kenan will be attending with me in the beautiful Texas Hill Country! This year we are only about 3 hours away vs 15 from Nashville.

I’ve been stalking the resorts website. Apparently the J.W. Marriot is an amazing resort with some pretty awesome reviews.  Saturday night, Managers and up will be in private workshops all day and headed over to Knibbe Ranch in the evening for entertainment, drinks, fireworks, and more!!  Sunday and Monday are going to be fun filled with our annual Paisley Awards.. Which is our version of the Grammys.. Top leaders will be recognized for their hard work.. Monday night our new catalog will be revealed! This makes me want to jump up and down while I write this, but I shall contain myself for now.

Getting to see our founders again is high on my list. We haven’t seen them since our a Jamaican vacation at the end of April. So it’s long overdue.  Reconnecting with my zebra family, meeting new zebras.. I cannot wait!!

Kenan and I have never worked a job where we get excited about events all the time. Maybe holidays and vacations.. Lol. With Pink Zebra there is always something wonderful to look forward too. After our fun filled Reunion, we have Rallies coming up in October and February.  Incentive trip dates will be released at reunion so we will also have that to look forward to. AND the location for next years reunion!

Do You Have Excitement in Your Life?

Excitement… As an adult excitement is something that is rare. When I was a child excitement was everywhere! I was excited for Fridays, Christmas, that new pair of shoes, my favorite TV show. Close your eyes and think back to when you were young? Remember an exciting moment? The older I became the further apart those moments of excitement became.  Waiting for the birth of my children was exciting. Saying “I DO” to my amazing husband, watching my kids open Christmas presents.. Y’all with me?

Over the past two years I have experienced so much more excitement than all of my adult years put together… Why? We’ve had a rough couple of years. Grief, depression, illness…just to name a few. So what has me jumping up and down for joy on a regular basis? Owning our own business!!

These days it’s rare to find joy and excitement in a job. Jobs are the place you go or the task you do to being home a paycheck. Most Americans don’t find joy in their work. It’s a day in day out routine that has most of us in a state of complacency..

My job is different. For starters I work from home. This gives me the ability to be the main influence in my children’s lives. We also homeschool. I know it’s not for everyone and NO judgement here if you don’t, please… I’m not one of “those” homeschool moms. Lol. We are simply doing what we believe God has called us to do.I get to sleep in later than most, I work my job around my family schedule, and my job is fun and exciting!!! I get to be a part of something BIG!

Since starting our business 2 years ago, Kenan and I have watched so many men and women make dreams become a reality.  The insecure woman standing up in front a crowd of her peers sharing her excitement and teaching others.  The man suffering from depression thinking he will never be able to provide for his family the way he feels he should, now taking his family on tropical vacations all because of the business he got excited about. This woman writing this blog, coming out of a deep dark place in my life and finding excitement around every corner.  New products, new places, new awards, incentives, friendships… I could go on and on.  I picked a few highlights of excitement over my past couple years to share with you.

Was that as exciting for you as it was for me.  Looking at a small portion of the excitement that has happened to our family over the past couple of years makes me want to cry tears of joy!!!  To think it all started with a prayer and a kit.

Are you in need of some excitement in your life?  When is the last time you actually started jumping up and down with so much joy and excitement that you couldn’t contain?  Maybe starting your own business adventure is something you should consider.  Direct Sales companies are abundant!  Over 18 million Americans are in this industry.  Finding one that suits your needs can be overwhelming.  No experience is necessary so my advice to you is pick a product you love. A company with vision.  Something you can stand behind, be proud of, and get excited about.  Something that will make you a better person inside and out.  Maybe you know someone who could benefit from a life change moment.  Kenan knew I would, and he was right.

Feel free to contact me at sprinklesoffaith.com – I would love to hear from you.  Even if you don’t think right now is a good time for you.  Whatever your struggle, let me share some of my excitement with you!

Keep watching for more exciting moments to come.  T-2 weeks until the zebras take over San Antonio Texas for Family Reunion 2015!!

Blessings to you and yours! May you find more excitement in your life.
