Last week, I mentioned three companies that I was checking out. This week I want to share a little more about one- Thirty-One. The more I research this company, the more I like it! The first thing that tuned me in was when I realized that the "Thirty-One" name is derived from Proverbs 31 in the Bible.I love that! For those not familiar with Proverbs 31, it is the book in the Bible that paints the picture of the godly woman. I found a great link online that describes this and compares it to what a godly woman would be like in our modern-day world. Click here to read this fantastic comparison and explanation of the Proverbs 31 woman.

So, just the fact that Cindy Monroe founded a company based on the principles of Proverbs 31 was very impressive to me. A portion of her story reads, "..I prayed to find a way to offer something that would help women like me contribute to their lives financially by owning their own business. It is from this passionate resolve that Thirty-One was born. I began sewing purses with one machine in the basement of my home in Chattanooga, Tenn., and I'm awestruck when I see how far we have come with the support and dedication of so many people. Today, our Thirty-One family has grown to more than 60,000 Consultants nationwide!" 
You can read the whole story of how Thirty-One began here.

I really encourage you to visit their website and just listen to the ladies' stories in the video on the "Become a Consultant" page. There is also a "News" page with snippets from when Cindy Monroe was featured on the Today Show. I absolutely LOVE this company, their products and their mission. It's obviously founded on the Solid Rock!

This week's spotlight goes to Thirty-One. I did join some survey sites over the week to research those but I'm not going to take the spotlight from this amazing company this week. So, I'll give you more information on what I've earned from the survey sites and how I did it. I even have the guys in my  house testing a few iPod/iPhone apps that earn money. I will report on all of these in next week's blog!

Enjoy some family time today and I can't close without saying, "Goooo Giants!"  Have a blessed week, my friends!
