Thankfulness for...

My love and my li'l gurrll. For their patience and support as I climb through the challenges of personal and professional growth for the benefit of us all! I love you so much! For my brother who gets where I am going, and shouts "Rock on, sis!" when I am flagging. For my friends, who endure endless makeovers and product trials to help me come up with the simple, best, and most effective advice for each person I serve. and for my amazing clients, who laugh, play, ask, and try right along with me!

Qualifications... almost there! My team is growing. We are beautifying this country with simple skincare solutions and easy pretty makeup... wow! It is really coming to fruition. And I still spend evenings with my hubs. And tuck my daughter in at night; and re-tuck her in at 3 am ... and 5 am.... and.... And we have meals together! I never thought that balance was attainable to this degree. And yet I learn each day that my choices create my life. My life is balanced if I choose to create balance. If I choose to be proactive and not reactive.
If I place my trust in Someone greater than myself.

Things are a little crazier as I help 24 women develop the lives they imagine for themselves. Things are topsy-turvy teaching business and life in balance. Even as I learn for myself.

But how incredible is it that, in the middle of an unpredictable economy, I can help shoulder the support of our family! I can help contribute to keeping us housed and fed while my husband pursues his passion for real estate! Just having that option is such a blessing! My daughter is watching me work WITH her Daddy to support our family, give to those with less, and work with a good attitude and a happy heart. She loves putting on a dress and sparkly shoes and lipgloss and telling me she is going to go play makeup with friends, too. Sweet. When R lost his job, I thought I might be too stressed to enjoy little moments like that. Now, they motivate me so much to help us move forward so I CAN see those through thankful eyes!

Throughout the year I take great joy in stopping to say "thank you" to those around me who make life better for all of us. For those in the healthcare field, particularly those who are behind the scenes who keep it all going. For those in service industries who take away my trash, recycling, sewage, and mail without complaint. For those who stock the stores at night so I cna take food away with ease each time I visit! Wow! I remember a couple of overnight jobs in college... I do not envy the loss of electorlytes there! I wish I could buy yoy all some Gatorade.  Thank you!
