Just Me....

Beauty is not merely what you see when you look into the mirror, but it is the essence of what radiates from the inside out.  - Hollie Whaley

As I prepare to start this blog I'm not even sure where to begin.  I feel like I have a lot of thoughts that I want to put in writing simply for me.  Maybe just maybe, they can help someone else.  Most of the time, I have very random fleeting thoughts that I quickly dismiss yet they prove to be heaven sent.  Some times they are to prepare me for something that is about to happen or to encourage someone else that I may bump into throughout the day.  I begin to think about these thoughts, and wanted to start collecting them in a more organized manner, so I plan on putting them here.  So I apologize in advance, they may be really clever, or just plain dumb, but I hope they will make you laugh, love, and live life to its fullest potential. 

Let me just start with a little background.  I'm a born again believer, that believes in a relationship with Jesus Christ.  I know that without Him in my life I would be nothing.  He breathes life into me daily which allows me to understand the true concept of Beauty Inside Out!  As I decided to sell Mary Kay products, I had to laugh at the thought, since I wasn't typically a woman that wore a lot of make up.  I also, thought it was comical because I've never been a big fan of women.  Don't shut this down or think ill of me, let me explain.  As women, we have a tendency to talk to much, listen to little, judge a lot, and just plain HATE on one another.  The competition between women is unbelievable and unhealthy in so many ways.  Just look at the wonderful (in my sarcastic voice) reality shows that we have depicting the lives of house wives. For all of the above reasons, along with my own life experiences, selling beauty products to women seemed out of my element. 

I was not a salesperson by any stretch although my corporate background has been relationship management so I have developed a keen sense to build and sustain relationships.  So those skills would be used to enhance my new business.  With this new endeavor I have learned so much about women.  One thing is that we are all similar.  We all have a passion, purpose, and have had unfortunate circumstances that have molded us into who we are today.  It has also provided me with a platform to reach out to women to teach them that their TRUE beauty isn't what they see in the mirror but what they have inside.  Hence how I came up with my theme, "Beauty Inside Out".  Since God gave this to me, it has been a journey and he has proven over and over the importance of establishing this thought process in the lives of women around the world. 

So I hope that you decide to read and take this journey with me.  I guarantee what you might find, but my prayer is that you realize that there is more to life, than what you currently have, and that though there is a simply divine face looking back at you, your real beauty comes from deep inside!!!
