Scentsy is, in a way, a great metaphor. Scentsy warmers are safe lights in a dark room, and Scentsy – in all that it has become in the hearts and minds of all who claim a piece of it – is a bright light in a dark world. The darker the room, the brighter the light; or, in other words, what Scentsy represents – family, opportunity, safety, simplicity, value, authenticity – becomes more pronounced, more special, as the world becomes more fragmented, contracted, uncertain, complicated, and selfish.

While Scentsy can never replace the sacredness of faith and religion or the specialness of family, it can serve as a safety net and warm blanket. Sleepless nights of opportunity are refreshing compared to sleepless nights of worry. We all worry; peace comes when opportunity outshines worry. As my journal entry of four years ago illustrates, I have had dark times of worry. But opportunity has shined more brightly, and what was once a worry has now turned out to be a grand journey. That same journey and perspective are available to each of you as Scentsy continues to outshine our dark economic times.

Best,
