Holidays

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!!!!

BE SAFE, ENJOY THE DAY!!!

Tragedy

Well, not really a tragedy but...I can't find my 80s, yes 80s, green mood lipstick. One day I was in Big Lots and found a whole discounted tray of it and bought about 10 tubes. However, I am now on my last tube. I know, it never turns the right color, it's green, etc. etc. etc. However, I liked the color it turned on my lips and it pretty much stayed on all day...so now what do I do. I guess I'll have to go on line and see if there are any distributors out there.

I have tried so many expensive lipsticks and have yet to find one that I really like and that actually stays on your lips for more than half an hour. Maybe some one out there will have an idea of what to try.

Anyway, let me know if you come across the GREEN lipstick!!! :):):)

Successful Meeting

I was privileged enough to be included in a meeting last evening with the leadership of Casting for Recovery National.

I love that these two ladies are very powerful, professional woman, But...what I really love is that they are very common ladies. Now I mean that VERY nicely. Not high maintenance...but are attractive, very down to earth, knowledgeable and smart. Easy to talk to, very caring and locked onto the vision of CFR. I can learn a lot from them and look forward to working with them.

I love that even though there is nothing wrong with the organization, they see many areas of change that will be for the better for all. Easier ways to do things, not just for the programs but for the doers as well. Change can be hard but change can also be very good and the spark that many programs need.

I am excited that we will be growning the AZ CFR program. We will be reaching out not just to more and more organizations but we will be able to assist more of the survivors out there with this wonderful education/wellness/recovery program.

Makes You Really Think

Last week I went to a funeral of a young man...43 years old...who was healthy, happy...at the right place in his life!!!! But on Thanksgiving day, he did not feel well, laid down and died....a fatal heart attack. What a shock to everyone, especially his family and loved ones. I did not personally know him but he was involved with a co-worker for a few years who will be in shock for a long time.

It was like most funerals...comments from family, a video, friends, lifting of balloons, etc. but when I left I thought all the way back to work...what will they say about me!

Have I been...am I a good person? Will people have nice things to say about me? Will I really be missed? Will I have left an impression...will "they" know I have been here? Have I given back enough? The questions just continued on and on.

I think at times we all ask ourselves these questions, however, maybe we should ask and live them every day. You just never know......

How Pretty

I received this beautiful bracelet from my very dear and long time friend Janelle. Her sister sent her one and she ordered one for me as well. It is a cancer bracelet. Each bead color represents a cancer...like black is for melanoma and lung, grey is for brain, lime for lumphoma, etc. etc and of course pink for breast cancer. The silver ribbon hangs between two larger beads of the cancer the color represents...as in my case they are pink. Very nice.
