What do the 2nd anniversary of Craig’s death and my 14-year anniversary with Arbonne International have in common? These are the 2 anniversaries I am celebrating in July and ironically they are tied together with a celestial bow. Let me explain…
Craig went from being my personal trainer on July 10, 2017, to my afterlife coach when he tragically died on that sultry day. He has been teaching me about how to help people heal their grief since he passed. It will sound crazy, but network marketing (also known as social or multi-level marketing) will help me explain what he has been teaching me from the other side through his heavenly signs and a gifted medium.
So what is network or social marketing anyway? Until I started my Arbonne business 14 years ago, I had never heard of it. Most people erroneously call it a pyramid scheme, which it is not, because products are exchanged and that doesn’t happen with pyramid schemes. It’s actually the opposite of a pyramid and quite brilliant. The opportunities are equally available to everyone. It is a marketing strategy in which representatives of a company recruit or sponsor others and earn commissions on their own sales and the sales made by people on their team. Your efforts benefit you and the person “above” you. As it turns out, that is how Craig (above me) has explained what happens when you “supposedly” die. (Check out We Don’t Di – Fisics for First Graders.) The good that you do here, benefits those on the other side.
Craig has told that we are all connected because we all share the same energy. He told me that we operate in soul groups or teams, like network marketing where TEAM is equated to: Together Everyone Achieves More. He stated that he and I were on the same “soul team.” He said raising our consciousness helps everyone on this plane AND those who have crossed over AND everyone on the team. Just like the premise of “You Scratch My Back and I’ll Scratch Yours.”
Craig explained through the medium that as we move forward in conviction and consciousness, we assist our loved one or teammate on the other side in his or her progression and ascension. This changed my focus by making it my mission to help Craig reach a higher heavenly octave and that helped me to heal my sadness and loss. I realized that my crying every time I walked into the gym was not helping him or me. I loved this little story that I found that illustrated this point. The author is unknown.
There once was a procession of children marching
in heaven. Each child held a lighted candle, and
as they marched, they sang. Their faces shone
with happiness. But one little girl stood alone.
“Why don’t you join us, little girl?” one happy child asked.
“I can’t,” she said. “Every time I light my candle
my mother puts it out with her tears.”
Just like the false perception about network marketing, according to Craig, there is a false perception about what happens after someone dies. Many people believe when you die, you go to rest. Craig says you go to work in helping others which aids your own soul to continue to evolve. It’s a “win-win.” But they can’t help us here on earth if we are not open to receive their guidance and we can’t help them if we are mired in grief, guilt, or despair. So…what to do…
By raising your energy vibration, the possibility of connecting with your loved ones on the other side increases. Below is my list of what I was practicing before Craig died that I believe enabled me to easily connect with him after he died. If readers attempt this and fail, I have faith they will have raised their awareness and consciousness, which automatically serves them and their loved one on the other side. I also believe their grief and fears will be alleviated and that they will be more loving towards themselves and eventually flourish.

Wow Di–can’t believe it has been two years. So glad you are doing so well. I like these two the best: Meditate
Take care of your body: sleep, proper nourishment, exercise.
Keep up the good!
Thanks Gary and thanks for your contribution in the healing process!
What a great read Di!! Thank you for this! I need to work on a few things!!😍
Thanks Gerri!
Good advice…grieving is necessary as it acknowledges a loving relationship…eventually memories of loved ones passed bring smiles, changing grief to tribute…everyone makes that transition at their own pace…when my brother passed, I grieved for about a year, even though the day I found out about his death, he blew threw me, telling me it was OK, and that it was awesome and I would love it…now I feel closer to my brother than when he was in the physical…amazing
Thanks for sharing Steven and reminding us that we will smile again.
Love you
Back at you!
Thanks Di, I am grateful you sent this to me.
I would add; Continuosly practice being aware in the here and now.
Amen! Thank you!
