Start the year out at the beach!

The new year started out with so much fun. At the beginning of January, Lonnie & I went to the beach with my Mary Kay girlfriends & some of their husbands for a retreat. It had a western theme & we made the most of it. We received awesome training from a National Sales Director who is not only successful but such a wonderful person as well. Sometimes successful people tend to be snobby or they "forget where they started" but she isn't one of them. Every month her check from Mary Kay is at the minimum $15,000. Yes, that's in a MONTH. How many people make that much a month & LOVE what they do? Most importantly to me though, are Mary Kay's beliefs: God first, family second & career third. She always said to keep these priorities in order & to follow the Golden Rule. Unfortunately, there are few jobs and or "arenas" where Americans are not found to be "offensive" when they speak about their religion. It gives me great pleasure to be able to say the Mary Kay philosophy of keeping God first at all my appointments & meetings. You never know when God is going to put someone in your path.

Anyway, the retreat was wonderful, the time alone with my dear husband was a much needed one, & the girlfriend time was wonderful. I want to give a special thanks to Lucy for inspiring one of my consultants with that Turbie Twist thingy. I loved mine so much that I gave one to all my consultants who came to our Christmas get-together. One of my consultants thought they would be fun to wear at the retreat as part of our costume. Every unit there wears something fun to identify their group. We went to town with our twists! We ended up wearing the twists, matching t-shirts & matching big, fluffy white robes that said "Cowboy's Dreamgirl". We were a hit!



















The directors are part of the festivities on Saturday night & go on stage to "perform". I say this word very loosely. Here are a few of us trying not to make fools of ourselves. As you can see, I wore my Turbie Twist all night! So thanks Lucy for being part of our fun even though you didn't know it!
