After retiring from the Army, where I served for almost three decades with an organization that was about more than self, I found something that could continue to continue to help others, but in a different way.  Before starting, I took time to be with my two children, both who have special needs, I thought back to the first time I traveled with my family when I was nine and the travels and adventures that I was now able to take my children. I was able to share those experiences, the memories and the legacy with them. Throughout my travels, but most especially since settling down, many families have shared with me their hardships of travel with their children because I walk in their shoes, with their aging parents, or with finding someone who will call them back and be there for them. What you will know is that you will have someone on your side, to be with you, to create wonderful memories for your family.

In October of 2019, a friend shared a sample of a new health and wellness product.  As a long time legal assistant, she was always trying to lose weight.  The shakes were delicious and so good for you.  She and her husband committed to having a shake and taking an energy pill every day.  At the end of the first 90 days, Patti had lost 30 lbs.
 
This has had a big impact on her health and as she continued to lose weight, people were asking her what she was doing as she was running circles around the younger staff in the office.  Once she started sharing QuiAri, she found the extra income enabled her to retire from that desk job and become a full time promoter for QuiAri.
