Thought Provoking Thursday

That's right ~ Monday was a holiday so even though it feels like a Wednesday, it's time for Thought Provoking Thursday! This week's question: What is your best attribute?

Mine?  Hmm.  I'm going to go with my sense of humor.  I think I'm pretty funny and my friends tend to agree. I use humor to diffuse difficult situations, to perk up friends who are having a hard time, to make the best of dreary days.  It's not to say that I never have a difficult time, because I definitely have my share of those, but I find that humor can make me (and often others) feel a little bit better.  What can I say, I'm a glass is half full kind of gal.

Your turn! Link up with your answer or comment here.

Thought Provoking Thursday


What is one aspect of your life that you never expected to be there?

I NEVER expected to be a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant.

What?  You expected an intense, life-changing answer?

Let's stop for a minute and consider the source.  We are talking about a woman who, prior to becoming a Mary Kay consultant, washed her face with water.  Just water.  And only when she was in the shower.  [Don't I at least get points for knowing that I wasn't supposed to wash my face with soap??]

I didn't wash my face, I didn't use moisturizer (much to Prince Charming's chagrin.  He regularly admonished me for it.), I didn't wear makeup and I surely didn't use supplements.

And then one crazy day, worn down by my mom (who wanted a girls day out), I attended a Mary Kay event.  I was blown away by the way the products made me feel and I knew that I liked them enough to actually take the time to start washing my face and maybe, just maybe, start wearing makeup.  I became a Mary Kay consultant that day.  Craziness, I tell you.

Fast forward fourteen months and I have the clearest, softest skin I've had in 31 years and a fabulous career that I love.  Not only do I love what I do but I get the opportunity to continue to be a stay at home mom to the Monkey while still contributing to our family financially.  In a word? Awesome.

[Shameless plug for my business?  Well, okay.  Since you asked... check out my website here: www.marykay.com/SamZ]

Now it's your turn!  What do you have in your life that you never would have expected?
