The joys...

Although my heart was extremely happy while teaching children. I knew that I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom once we found out I was pregnant...but I also knew I would HAVE to be doing something to allow me some adult time. So...that is where my Mary Kay business comes to play. I cannot even imagine my world without this AWESOME opportunity that fell at my feet. So I am going to share my story with you. 

When I was told "You would be great at this"! I thought well okay why not...so January 8th, 2010 I signed my agreement and off I went...pampering, helping, building confidence in women. How fun! As I started to attend events and became surrounded by many women who were following Mary Kay Ash's golden rule, 

"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"

I found myself wanting what these women had...not just the free cars and beautiful diamonds...but the peace and joy about them. So I began doing what these women were doing...putting God first, Family second and Career third. I did most of that anyways...except the God part. I went to church, I served at church but I was not fully putting God first in my every actions. 

I am sharing this because after just spending this past weekend surrounded by 2,000 or more Mary Kay women I was blessed with an opportunity to help someone in desperate need, and when I read the post my response came without any hesitation at all...I just knew that this is what God wanted me to do. Then I realized that this is why I started this business...to Enrich the Lives of Women! 

This business is NOT about me or the amount of money that I make. It is about the women I am helping...whether they just want to learn how to apply make-up or take care of their skin, or build confidence in themselves to begin their own journey of helping others, or best of all to run silent auctions and donate ALL my profits so a woman who I do not even know can raise money for her sister who needs a lung transplant NOW!! Time is of the essence and we do not know when today is OUR day. But I do know that with everyday the Lord gives me I have this AMAZING opportunity to help others!

Here are a few pictures from my event this past weekend!

My future!

My current goal! This is the Pink Cadi that I will be driving first...

  When I got home, Sunday night a friend of mine posted a comment on her facebook page sharing a link that was asking for donations for her friend's, sister to be able to have a lung transplant. I am happy to share that I am running a silent auction for this family and donating my profits to them to help her out! I do not know them or know if I will ever have the opportunity to meet them, but I do know that this sister is doing something amazing for her sister in need, so NOW I get to help in ways that some never knew where possible!
