I heard a woman say that she didn't care anymore because she was OLD. I could clearly see that she didn't. She was dressed for work in clothing that was intended for working out not being out at work. She didn't take care of her skin and it was looking tired and sad. Yes clearly she did not care.
She sounded worn out. She was not enjoying life, she was just getting through it. I felt bad for her because it seemed she had given up. I was curious so I listened further, yes I admit I am a little bit nosy. Then she said it... I couldn't believe it.... this tired old lady was only 3 years older than me. I wanted to shake her.
We all have problems, life is filled with them. We can let the problems overwhelm us and make us OLD before our time or we can choose to be happy to have the chance to make a difference each day.
I take pride in taking care of myself. I try to be the best I can be every day. I refuse to feel my life is over and give up. There is way too much living to do.
If you are feeling OLD because your face is showing signs of your age give me a call. We can do something about it no matter how much you have ignored it in the past. There is nothing wrong with growing older but getting OLD is not where it is at. When you look in the mirror it should reflect someone who is happy to be here and ready for the next adventure. It is all in how we appear to ourselves that really matters after all.

Work With Me And You'll Be Happy!
Being Joy Filled.....
I work at it every day. Some days it is easy. Other days I have to search for the spark of joy but search I do because it does make life better. Don't stop searching until you find it each day.
I choose to be positive. Yes difficulties enter all of our lives but it is our choice how we respond to them. Don't let the situation dictate your attitude.
I spread it around. You really never know when you are going to be that one thing that helps someone else make it through the day. Don't keep your joy to yourself.
I am Joy Filled! Why don't you join me today.

Sharing our passions is a surefire way to feel good. When we can turn someone else on to a "love" of ours and have them adopt it as something they enjoy it creates a sense of worth and validation to our own passions. It is also risky. You do risk having negative comments and hearing about all the reasons you should not love what you do love. But if you keep your passions under cover you are truly being the selfish one.
Sometimes people just aren't interested in what you are saying at the moment. Some people are not ready to hear about something exciting and joyful because they are weighted down with other things in their lives. Take heart though because you may mention it today and have someone come back to you months down the line because they remember your enthusiasm and are ready to find out what it was all about.
Sometimes you will find someone who is so totally negative about your excitement that they will never respond. That's ok too. The experience will teach you how to handle rejection a little better. Just don't let their negativity shut off your mission to share.
But at those perfect moments when you find someone who is ready, willing, and able to hear your words you will double your joy and find someone who will be so valuable to you as you grow. These times are the reason to keep on shining your light.
So go out there today and tell someone else about something you are passionate about. Talk to anyone willing to listen and you will find joy in spreading your love to others. Take that little light and let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.....

Today is 10/10/10 and a lot is being made of this special day. A lot of people are doing special things like getting married or engaged, doing something extra ordinary to make this day as unique, and making it clear that there is only one such day ever. Well every day is a special unique gift and perhaps we should all treat every day with the same awe and celebration.
Imagine if we lived each day full out. We purposely involved ourselves in work we truly enjoyed. We consciously made efforts to reach out to loved ones and make sure they knew how much they mean to us. We methodically planned our lives to get the most out of every day just like these special days.
My plan for the time between now and 11/11/11 (the next triple day on our calendar) and beyond is to make every effort to start each morning by thanking God for another wonderful day, to live each day to it's fullest, to love with fierce abandon all of my friends and family, and to make each day a special day.

All in all it is a wonderful world. A friend posted a link to an all time favorite feel good song this morning, It's a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and I smiled as I listened to it.
There are so many distractions and duties we are all forced to do that sometimes we forget just how wonderful life is. There will be bad times for sure but those times teach us lessons and help us appreciate the good times all the more. I know these trials might not seem that way at the time but they are more valuable in our journey than the easy breezy times.
I hope this day that you are in a good and happy place but if you are not I hope that you will take a step today to change the course of your life. I have used the Serenity Prayer to get me through and help me focus on the things I must do rather than wallow in what I can not do. When times get tough I hope you will find strength in these words as well...."God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference." - Reinhold Niebuhr
So take control of the only thing you have true control over, your own actions. Think positively and you will make it through. It truly is a wonderful world and I appreciate the gift of each new day. The universe is not out to get us and often throws us a lifesaver when we are feeling pulled under... It is up to us to grab hold and see with clearer eyes the beauty and magnificence of it all.
I am here to help if you need a new direction. I will help you with your skin care and cosmetics but as we talk you will find more. More confidence, more joy, and more reasons to celebrate life. I can find you a path to a little more money or a more satisfying full time career. So if you need one, here's a lifesaver. What you do with it is up to you.

Every Thursday I make a conscious effort to state a few things I am thankful for. It started from some posts on another blogging platform and I continue the tradition on Facebook and in my life in the real world too. It is easy to be rushing through the day to day tasks and get so bogged down in the routine and any difficulties we may be facing that we forget all the wonderful gifts we are presented with every day.
Every day that we are alive is a gift. Yes even the rough ones will teach us something useful and if you look hard you will find things to be thankful for even on the most tragic of days. Sometimes, I will admit, the gifts are only apparent in retrospect but they are always there if you take the time to look.
So today it is raining and I am thankful for the rain which is filling up reservoirs and raising the water tables so our wells won't go dry. I am thankful for the roof over my head. I am even thankful that I am forced to go out in the rain today or I actually might pull the covers over my head, I love to sleep with the rain hitting the roof. But I have work to do today and on with my mission I will go.
It is a last day of the month. I have a few more orders to take to put me over the top on my goal to go on target for my Mary Kay Career Car. I am so thankful to be so close to this goal. I am thankful that I found a great company that rewards my efforts and praises me to success. I have never been in a business environment like this before and I am thankful for the training I received during my years of volunteer as a parenting and breastfeeding councilor with La Leche League. Those skills are a good match for the philosophy of Mary Kay. The Golden Rule and helping others to succeed are the mainstays of the Mary Kay culture.
Well I am off to find more things to be thankful for. New friends, old friends, family, and more. I am thankful for it all! If the Mary Kay philosophy seems like it might match yours don't hesitate to check out my website for more information or to give me a call. I am always looking for women to join my Mary Kay team who are looking to earn extra or start a new career in a positive environment.

I admit it. I don't always wake up with enthusiasm for the day. Each morning I post a status on Facebook and I try to make it positive, most days it is easy. I am happy and it flows through my fingers to the keyboard. But there are days when I have faced a disappointment the day before or had a bad night's sleep that I struggle. Today was one of those days. I must have started my status 10 times or more always ending up in a less than desirable spot that required DELETE. As I struggled and deleted the discomfort faded and eventually I was able to look forward.
I finally managed to get something more pleasant out there and it paid off because I found out that my lovely hostess from a Mary Kay party last weekend has some orders for me! So now my mood is much more positive and I am excited to face the rest of the day. I put out positive instead of the uncomfortable negative I felt and was rewarded.
I am by nature a "cup is half full" type of gal but when I am not feeling it, I dig deep down inside and add some more to the cup. If you are feeling like life is a constant struggle and you just can't get ahead try finding one little ounce of joy and put it out there. You will be pleasantly surprised at the results.
Today I am heading to a wonderful Mary Kay event in Albany. I am excited to meet a National Sales Director and see many other Mary Kay Consultants and Directors gathered to learn and grow. Talk about the opportunity to refill my cup!
I am currently interviewing women to help them decide if Mary Kay could provide a positive experience for them. What would you do with an extra $50 or $100 a week? How would you feel when you help someone to feel better about themselves? Perhaps you are looking to change careers? I would love to have you join my team.. We can build a positive future together. Near or far, your location does not matter, only your willingness to work for a better tomorrow.

Ok so maybe I am dreaming but wouldn't it be nice to stay out of the malls and the holiday shopping madness this year? My countdown calendars are slowly ticking off the days until the December holidays are here. For my Jewish friends Hanukkah starts in 85 days and Christmas is 92 days away for me. This year I plan to be one of those lucky people who are done with shopping by Thanksgiving so I can focus on others during the holidays rather than the long lines at the stores.
If you have a dream like mine I can help. Let's get together for a relaxing cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa if you are close or on the phone or skype if you are far away and go over all the people who you would like to honor with a gift. I will try to help you remember everyone and will be able to offer suggestions from the Mary Kay product line to fill many of the individual needs. Mary Kay has beautiful gift ideas that start at $10 so affordability is there.
I offer FREE gift wrapping and can also put together basket collections at a nominal fee. I also put in a $10 gift card for Mary Kay products in every gift I wrap! That's two gifts for the price of one all wrapped and ready to go. Think about all the time and energy saved to focus on the real meaning of the season.
So please call or text me if you would like to be dreaming too. I do offer this service to business owners for employee and customer appreciation gifts as well so please don't hesitate to ask or refer me. I do take care of those who refer me to fruitful contacts so refer away and earn free Mary Kay for yourself.

Did you ever notice how you can get a baby to smile just by smiling at them? It always amazes me that an infant will receive a happy face and reflect joy in their own face. Well guess what, most people continue to receive smiles the same way throughout their lives. When someone shares a smile with you don't you feel a little bubble of happiness float through whatever else is going on in your mind that moment?
I love to smile at people. I feel a rush when they acknowledge my effort to brighten their day. It is good for both of us. With the advent of social media I can share smiles with so many other people. I know that they give me joy and I return the favor. You should give it a try.
Many of us are so wrapped up in our own troubles that we forget to smile. We forget to share the good things as well as the bad. Don't be a constant complainer find something good to share every if it is only one of these :) once in a while. Believe me your world will be brighter for it and so will the people who you come in contact with.
Have a wonderful week everyone. It is Monday and it is your chance to start all over again. Just do it!
Call or Text me to help you put your best face forward!
