I was so happy for one of my good friends, Ali, to be featured on this blog! Her story is incredible. I remember sitting down with her about 3 years ago and she told me she started her own business selling skincare. I told her, “Good luck! I will buy some eye cream from you.” I was not sure at all what she was planning or where she was going to take this business. All I knew wa... Read More »
Raising chickens is a crazy and weird experience. Or Maybe it was just the way I did it? On the second week of school, it was announced that each student in my Horticulture class would have to do an SAE (supervised agricultural experience) project. It took me a few days to think about what I would do…whatever it was needed to be cool, take up 15 hours of my time, not cost very much, and also... Read More »
Who doesn’t love Starbucks? The coffee, the croissants, the sandwiches, the smell, the atmosphere, the “Cheers” experience you get when you walk in to your local one and Everybody Knows Your Name. But, have you ever thought about what it’s really like? What do the Barista’s see and hear that we don’t? What kind of crazy shit do they have to deal with from behind... Read More »
My oldest daughter, MJ, has type I diabetes. I don’t write about it frequently although it is very much ingrained in our daily lives, but nowadays life just rolls along without much incident as far as the disease goes. I can’t figure out how something that drives me nuts multiple times a day and has a good bit of control over some of the function of our days has become sort of ho-hum ... Read More »
So what happens when we die? It’s hard to figure this one out because, well…once someone dies, we can’t really ask them what it was like. But, some people have instances where they have nearly died and they lived to tell their story. Actually, some people, in a scientific sense, have actually died (for a few moments), came back, and lived on to tell their story of what it was rea... Read More »
So I was kinda shocked when a few people I sold eye cream to, told me they had never used eye cream before – and they were in their 50s! I started using it in college! Well, a few of the eye cream virgins woke up with red irritated eyes that were puffy. Turned out they were practically putting the eye cream in (or too close to) their eye! So, I feel the need to help educate on how... Read More »
I owe my friend Tia… big time! She found a GEM today and I’m so excited to share it with all of you! I’m constantly downloading entire photo albums from groups on Facebook to share in other groups. Mostly this is done when I see an awesome idea on one of our Thirty-One Director or Consultant groups and I want to share the ideas with my team. It can take for-ev-er (did anyone else just have a “Sand... Read More »
At least one person in your life has probably told you that you cannot fix the broken. That no matter how hard you try, if someone doesn’t want to be fixed; they won’t be. A lot of us also consider ourselves to be “Fixer uppers.” By that I mean we will date some people with seemingly more issues than us, just to feel better about ourselves… Or maybe you are the oppos...
