stella & dot, we finally met

I went to my very first "stella & dot" opportunity meeting last night. I didn't really know what to expect. I have been to opportunity meetings for other direct marketing businesses, and they are usually at someones house, sitting around the living room, very casual. This one was different. It was at a wine bar. I walked in and there were beautiful "stella & dot" signs, the room was set up really nice. The jewelry display was GORGEOUS. There were a lot of people there. About 50% of the women were guests, people contemplating the business. The rest were stylists, and leaders. A pretty big geographical area was represented. I was most impressed by the fact that the company sent a corporate rep to come speak to us. She flies around the country to speak at scheduled information meetings, answer questions, and help people understand how this company is designed to fit that gap so many women have faced as life changes (career, marriage, children, etc...). I have been searching for years for a career opportunity that would let me be a part of a fun, exciting, business, but with the flexibility to work around my families needs. I thrived in the corporate world. I like staying on top of business trends, marketing strategies, employee development trends. I haven't found too many opportunities to discuss last months "Fast Company" or "Entrepreneur" articles at "Mommy & Me". I do believe I may have found the answer to my prayers-- a way to be a part of an exciting, cutting edge company, where I can achieve as much success as I am willing to work for---- and a way to connect with other women who like me are balancing families etc... To top it off I get to play with hot, fashion forward, jewelry, designed by world class designers! I'll keep you posted, but I think I may have found a Win Win. Have a great weekend! I want to thank those of you who have taken the time to let me know you follow my blog. It is encouraging to me, and I appreciate it!

New season of renewal & refinement

I am a girl with strong faith.  Strong, blind, childlike faith.  My atheist friends are bewildered by it.  They cannot understand how such a smart woman would believe such "nonsense".  I have no explanation other than, I just do. I preface this post with that statement because, you won't find me quoting scripture here.  Though I would if I were more confident in my ability to do so competently.  I do not have that confidence, never have.  I am a believer.  My belief has been nurtured by life experience, by answered prayers, by constant evidence that God cares about me.  I see his hand in big things and small. I look to him for guidance and help in all things.  I am not a Biblical scholar.  I have always been somewhat insecure about that.  I am bolstered up by the words of a Godly woman much wiser than I who assures me that "I am living my walk out loud".  My faith is not in my knowledge of the scripture, but in the...

To get something good, first we have to tolerate chaos.

I am swirling in chaos! Our little remodeling projects, ie: painting the boys rooms, have resulted in a whirl of mess, mess, mess. My husband has been diligently painting walls, repurposing furniture, meanwhile all of the clothing, shoes, toys, junk, furniture we are no longer using, etc... is lining the hallways and rooms of my house! We have tried to engage the boys in this project, but it has somehow eluded them that they have any responsibility for putting the house back together, so it it a painful exercise of command and whine. Today, we must put it back, we cannot start the week in madness. So my day, is going to be interesting. They need to help, a lot. I need to figure out how to motivate them to help, without them feeling like they are being tortured. Wish me luck, at 10:30, video games, and NFL TV go off, and cleaning commences. I'd better have another cup of coffee, and pray for the next half hour, I'm gonna need it.

I would LOVE a cleaning fairy!

Every woman has things in her life she is willing to pay for, and things she feels like she can and should do herself. My list is generally a little different than most women I think. My sister would tell you it is because I think I can do things better than other people, hee , hee ... she thinks I am a bit on the controlling side. I cut my own hair, do my own hair color, do my own facials, make jewelry, that sort of thing. I will admit, it is a rare occasion that I pay hundreds of dollars for a color and cut, and walk out feeling amazing. I am almost always disappointed in the result. I get a manicure & pedicure, and always regret the color choice- or see smudges. It just makes me mad to pay a lot of money for mediocre results. (I can get mediocre results myself!) One thing I definitely am willing to pay for, that I easily admit I am the worst at, is CLEANING MY HOUSE!! I really hate it. I love the calm and peace that comes with the clean, well organized home. I thri...
