they're already laughing . . .

Just got back from Dallas, TX and my first Mary Kay Seminar! In a word . . .
MIND BLOWING!

Here's a little bit of what I can explain to you . . . .

I received 4 unit awards (Yay me!)


Watched outstanding entertainment each day by #13 Jasmine from 'American Idol' & Winner Joshua Allen from 'So You Think You Can Dance'. For a girl who watches Barney & Blue's Clues most of the time. . . I was in heaven!!!!

Awards night- Could have been the Oscars! Next year, I'm on stage with a new ring!!!

My fabulous Million Dollar Director & friend, Cecilia James!
She's the epitome of class, integrity, motivation, determination & loyalty! Just the kind of person you should surround yourself with!
I got to tour the spot where all of your Mary Kay favorites are born!
Your foundation getting tubed, HUGE vats of night solution- dive on in, and a lady birthing beautiful shades of lipstick by the millions . . . this was my amazing tour of the Mary Kay Manufacturing plant (where I also apparently met the president of MK, Darryl Overcash, and didn't even know it!)


Tea time with Mary Kay (& my Directorship running buddy Gina!)

"Pick a dream the tell someone.

If they don't laugh at you,
then you didn't dream big enough!"
These are the words that came home with me from Seminar 2009! I couldn't help but cry when I heard them because the dreams I have for my 'little Mary Kay Hobby' as some would see it, ARE absolutely laughable! I'm on some kind of pink-infused high right now, but don't ask me to come down because I have my mind made up . . . and most likely, you will play some part in helping me reach these goals!


Vision #1

Me in my new Director's suit- by December 31st 2009!
Oh yes, CRAZY- big-laugh-out-loud kinda dreaming here!!!!!!!


Vision #2
first car to earn as a consultant is the Chevy Malibu- I'm taking the cash!
Vision #3
Next comes, the Chevy Equinox to win as a Director! I'm on it . . . .
Vision # next . . . Pink Cadillac!!!!!!!!

Now I know that retreat & seminars often have the familiar effects that Youth Camp used to bring . . . a huge high then back to reality! But the difference, this IS my new reality and I know my craziness is going to be fueled only by my attitude.



" If you think you can then you can!
If you think you can't, the you're right!"
