A terrible year for Longaberger Consultants and collectors, 2018 brought the end of the company we loved and many reminders of what a wonderful opportunity we had. We reflect on blessings that sound silly and sentimental unless you experienced them: owning and sharing beautiful products with an American heritage, building and enjoying enduring friendships across the US, helping others decorate their homes and even change their lives, attending fun company events with family and friends, setting and reaching goals with great rewards--actually "stimulating a better quality of life," a longtime Longaberger motto. The rise of the Longaberger company was truly an American experience, living Dave's dream, and perhaps its ending signifies a modern American reality: corporate greed and heartlessness that can buy a company, pilfer it for its parts, blatantly lie and mislead all the while, and leave its sales field "holding the bag" for products/money owed to their friends and customers after bankruptcy is declared. Life goes merrily on for the John Rochon families, the Longaberger-liquidating thieves/owners of Dallas's CVSL or JRJR Networks or whatever other name they're currently plotting behind. It wasn't such a merry year for the loyal Longaberger consultant family.
Learn from yesterday, live for today,
hope for tomorrow.
