Thank you Beth, for wise advice on color!

I have always considered myself to be somewhat hip. I wear a lot of black, that is an East coast thing though I think. I do wear colors.... like dark grey... brown... deep red... that is about the extent of my repertoire. I like to accessorize with edgy, and vintage accessory looks. I have made a conscious decision for this Spring though, I will wear TEAL! Maybe even FUCHSIA!

A wise friend (Beth McCarthy Witsik, though she was just Beth McCarthy then) once told me... "Sure hip people wear black, but RICH people wear color!" Now Beth has always been a fan of color, and I have always been a fan of black (never to be seen in pink, EVER), so I am not sure if she was trying to get me to expand my horizons, or just shake my confidence as we hit the bars for a night out (we were like 24 then) but it was good advice just the same. I am announcing, that I who have worn black and red nail polish exclusively for 4 years--- am wearing TEAL nail polish. I am turning a corner on color and fashion.

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

Believing isn't so hard

Why do I believe what I can't see?  That is a valid question. I get it from well intentioned people just trying to understand our differences I guess. I'll try to answer as best as I can. The college years especially, are a time of exploration.  We think in a less inhibited way.  We behave in a less inhibited way.  We ponder, and process, and get emotional about issues we think are important.  It is definitely an important step in the process of maturing.  I too, explored, pondered, got emotional, and was uninhibited. I remember especially being passionate about the right to a woman's choice.  I never took the idea of abortion lightly.  I held the hands of a few friends along the way, as they made that very difficult choice.  I praise God that I was never faced with that decision, I am not sure what I would have done at that stage of my life. I would like to think I would have chosen life, but I can't say for sure. I don't believe that ab...
