Wisdom from Above

“I am hard pressed between the two: my desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better; but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you.”

-Philippians 1:23-24

The only time I have ever heard someone cry out to the Lord to take them home was when I was 12. My grandmother had been sick and hospitalized for a very long time. During the hospitalization she had become very weak and trouble with walking. I distinctly remember that I was with her and my uncle, and my uncle was trying to help her get from the car to the house. While attempting to go up the one step, she fell, and she cried out that she just wished the good Lord would take her home. As I watched my uncle try to help her up, I was terrified. I was 12, and all I could think was that I didn’t want my grandma to die, and it scared me that she was willing to go to her Heavenly home. I was so scared and upset that instead of helping my uncle get her in the house, I went for a walk until enough time had passed that she was safely inside and feeling what my pre-teen mind conceived as better. That walk felt like the longest chunk of time, but the reality is that I just walked around the block. I was thankful that when I got back she was in the house and in her chair. This sight gave me the calm that I needed in that moment, and it assured me that my grandma was still with me.

Fast forward A LOT of years. During those years, she has since passed, but it was nearly 17 years later following a long health battle. My grandma was a warrior, but even as she fought valiantly, I would sometimes think back to those words. As an adult, I now realize that it wasn’t really that she was ready to go to Heaven when I was 12. Her cry to Jesus was more out of embarrassment from a fall, feeling physically weak, and feeling emotionally drained. Now, I know that we say things in the heat of the moment, and we often do not fully comprehend exactly what we are saying when we cry out to Jesus.

So how does this tie back to the scripture? Well, it’s been over 31 years, and I had never shared that story. Frankly, as far as I know only me, my grandmother, and my uncle ever knew it happened, and I’m not sure they remembered it. Earlier this week, upon discussing grief with a friend, I shared part of the story. Then today at Mass, the scripture at the beginning was shared. It made me think of their family’s current grief and my grandmother’s plea to the Lord all those years ago. Because of those circumstances, it made me think of losses in a different light. In many ways, those who are suffering from chronic or terminal illness, have lost most of their loved ones, etc may feel the words that St. Paul said: “My desire is to depart and be with Christ; for that is far better.” While I would like to live on this earth as long as possible (come on 100!), I have been around those who have come to peace with what is happening to them, and they mean it when they are not afraid and are ready. And who am I (are we) do deny them their joy and peace? To echo the sentiments of St. Paul, having our loved ones here in the flesh is more for us than them. Again, I am speaking of cases where our loved ones are terminally ill, have had long health battles, etc. I do not want to ever sound insensitive because to quote The Crucible, “Life, woman, life is God’s most precious gift,” and I believe that God wants us all to have a life well lived here on earth surrounded by those who love us.

But I think I finally get what my grandmother’s intentions in her words were. She may not have gone to church, but she knew her faith, and she knew her Bible. She believed that when it was time that she would be reunited with her husband, parents, and siblings and made whole in the likeness of God. When crying out to Jesus so many years ago, she was showing a desire to be with Christ, but she also knew that we still needed her. As I grow older, I’m starting to realize that a lot of losses can feel similar. While we want our loved ones with us in earth and feel like we need them in the flesh, we can take a lot of comfort – even though we are hurting and sad – in knowing that they are with Jesus, and that the end is just the beginning.

“May I Offer You Some Free Advice?”

“That would be nice.”

“Talk less, smile more.”

As anyone who has watched Hamilton knows, Alexander did not follow Aaron Burr’s advice. During a revolution, they weren’t the best words of wisdom. In a lot of ways they still aren’t great. However, when it comes to social media and keyboard cowboys, I’m thinking it might not be so bad for some people. Lately, I am noticing a lot of posts on social media that are seriously lacking integrity stemming from a refusal of people to keep their mouths (well typing fingers) shut. And couldn’t we all agree that when you lose integrity, you begin to lose support and relationships are damaged?

So in the spirit of talk less, smile more, here is my free advice.

Stop sharing screenshots of private conversations on social media. Even if you feel like you are the wronged party (because remember there are two sides to everything), it makes you look petty when you share screenshots. Also, it comes across as a desire to stir up drama in the comments.
Leave a person’s family out of whatever beef you have with said person. When you go trying to drag skeletons out of someone’s sibling’s, parent’s, or child’s closet in an attempt to make people not like them, that is a LOW blow. I don’t know a single person on this earth that isn’t without “a past” or some sort of flaws. And frankly if you’re going to throw people under the bus because of something their family did, don’t also brag about how you live like Jesus and love all people. As the priest said this past weekend, there is a difference in living a life about Jesus and a life of Jesus. If you’re living a life of then you love all people and show things like compassion, kindness, mercy, and forgiveness. You can’t do that while airing people’s dirty laundry.
Do not use the misfortune of others for your own gain. There is a big difference between actually wanting to do good for your community and volunteering to legitimately help and “helping” so you can post a photo op of how great you are. The Bible says to not let your other hand know what the first hand is giving. In today’s world that means don’t post every time you help someone in need and especially do not post pictures that might lower the integrity of the people you are helping. A giving, loving heart is about caring and not photo ops!!!

To all my friends who are hurting because you’ve been the victim of one of these low blows, then I want to remind you that when people spew hate, there is often something deep seeded that they do not like about themselves that they need to work through. Along the same line, remember that your self worth should not be determined by lies (perceived or real) that people spread about you. Your self worth should be based in the truths that you know are your core values.

Thanks for attending my not-a-Ted Talk.

#BeautyShared

My first memories of beauty go way back to when I was about 4. My mom put my hair in sponge rollers because we were going to the dinner theatre that night to see Big River. I still remember their incredible costumes (and the delicious food)! A few years later, I started playing in my mom’s makeup. Somewhere there is a picture of me dressed up in my mom’s clothes and makeup and my blonde wig holding a bottle of root beer like a model. That picture was hilarious then, and I’m sure I would still find it hilarious now.

At some point my shared beauty began involving Mary Kay. I think I was around 12. It started with going to a neighbor’s holiday open house with my mom. My senior year that same consultant walked me through makeup application for my senior prom. That #BeautyShared experience happened with my best friend! That’s where I learned to wear something that buttons or zips when getting makeup and hair done for an event. I wore my Dad’s shirt. Great times!

Other great times that involve sharing Beauty? I always loved that one of my grandmas said, “A lady never leaves the house without her lipstick.” She kept a lipstick by the back door, and there was a little mirror next to it. She would always put it on as we left. Of course there was also a matching lipstick in her purse, and she would ask “How’s my lipstick?” after eating.

My other grandma also wore lipstick, but she also shared with me the value of taking care of your skin. She faithfully used TimeWise skin care, and she would show her skin care routine to all her home health workers. She would also write the dates she started using a product on the box so she could tell visitors how long her Mary Kay lasted. When she passed at nearly 90, she didn’t look over 70. Impeccable skin care for the win!#BeautyShared is acknowledging that I kept some of their beauty products after they passed, and I’ll always keep them in a treasure box. Sometimes I also wear Bella Belara because it reminds me of my grandma.

Over the last 20 years, I have been able to share my love of skin care and glamour with more family, friends, and clients than I can count. I often share stories at those appointments, and I find that others can frequently relate to them. It creates connections and fosters community, and I think that’s the most important part of #BeautyShared.

Congratulations to Mary Kay on a beautiful, touching, thoughtful, and inspiring campaign!

We All Have 💩

We all have 💩.

We all have baggage.

We all have things happening in our personal lives.

That just might be the one thing that everyone on this 🌍 has in common. What sets us apart from one another is how we react to what’s happening. Some people take to social media and air all their dirty laundry; some people only post a glimpse of their private lives on social media. Some people turn to prayer; some people turn to a vice. Some people will never tell you everything going on behind closed doors; some people will tell you way more than you want to know. We all react in different ways because (spoiler) we are all different.

The other thing that sets us apart is how we react to the things that others tell us (or the social media world). Some people are quick to offer advice even when what the other person really just needed was someone to listen. Side note, Mary Kay Ash used to say that God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. Some people are quick to offer a hug or shoulder to cry on. Some are good at offering a distraction. Some will say, “What do you need me to do?” before anything else.

Imagine if instead of jumping to conclusions or doing what we think is best for someone else we took more time to ask, “What can I do to help you?” By making the question focused on the other person, we could show that we truly care about what is happening and how we can best meet their needs. Could the world be a better place by focusing more on the need of others than ourselves? Could we experience a Butterfly Effect just by showing others they matter?

I often think of the Story of the Starfish and the little boy tossing them back in the ocean. I recommend Googling it. The littlest things can have the biggest impact.

My challenge to you is simple. Next time you see someone struggling, ask them, “What can I do to help you?”

You just might help them begin to flush the 💩 and unpack the baggage.

To the Class of 2026…

Once again graduation season is upon us. Whether you are graduating from high school, college, or something else, I’ve got some free advice. Feel free to pretend I’m your celebrity commencement speaker. In fact, you’re welcome to read my words in the celebrity voice of your choosing…

First and foremost, congratulations on your accomplishment! There may have been people who helped you along the way, but the majority of this you have accomplished yourself. It took hard work; it took dedication. It may have even involved some blood, sweat, and tears. Yet you did it! You persevered even when it was difficult, and now you have (or will be mailed) the diploma to prove it. Well done!

Secondly, it’s okay if you’re not feeling completely okay about the future. Change – even when it is good – is scary. There’s always unknown factors that are out of your sphere of control, and that can be overwhelming. The good news? You’re not alone in your feelings, and without trying something new, you will never know what you’re capable of achieving.

Along the same line, it is okay if the job you thought was your dream career turns out to not be it. You can always change career paths, get more education, etc. It’s okay to start over in your 30s. Some of my closest friends started again in their 40s. It’s also okay if your career goals change as you do. You do not have to stay in a miserable job for the next 40 years just because it matches your degree.

With this it is important that your timeline is unique to you. Just because it seems like the societal expectation is graduate, find a job, get married, buy a house, have kids, etc does not mean you have to follow that order. It’s okay if you never want to marry, have kids, etc. Likewise, the age at which you do these things does not matter. I’m thankful that I was 29 before getting married and 36 before having a kid. I wasn’t mature enough for such adult things in my early 20s.

If the timeline you thought you were on doesn’t pan out, you can always go home again. If you find yourself living out on your own, with roommates, with an SO, and it doesn’t go as planned, you can always move back with parents or other family members. This is also true for jobs, additional schooling, and financial planning not going as planned. This is another area where I speak from A LOT of experience. I had living situations, educational plans, and job searches not go in my favor at various times. Thankfully, I was welcome at home until I figured it all out again.

Finally, it is okay if you make mistakes. Making a mistake does not make you a bad person. Likewise, if you find yourself doing something that goes against your values, you are not a bad person. Part of being human is erring and on occasion doing things we know we shouldn’t. The real test is in how we get through these crucibles, and if we use them to become better people with a desire to reaffirm and stick to our morals or continue doing what we know we shouldn’t. With this remember that you are uniquely you, and you are not what/who others say you are. They don’t know the full story because they aren’t you.

Wishing you a bright future where all your dreams come true!

Resilience

As I was reflecting over another year around the sun, one word came to mind: resilience. Last year, exactly one week after my birthday, the crushing blows to our “normal” existence began. Our lives quickly started to feel like a country song, and the title would have been “Everything Gets F’ed Up On a Thursday.”

With everything happening, it would have been super easy to put all life goals on hold. It would have been super easy to wallow in self pity and do nothing. However, in life you have two choices when things are not going well. One, you can do nothing. Two, you can exhibit bounce back ability!

Through a lot of prayer, tears, emotional roller coasters, and open discussion as a family, we chose bounce back ability. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? YES! Did we learn from it? ABSOLUTELY! Were there days when it was hard? Of course there were!

But we persevered, and now almost a year later, I can say…

We can survive the storm because we have each other.
My faith is stronger.
My drive and resolve to be successful are stronger.
Even on tough days (because let’s be real, some days I still miss my cat terribly!), I can do one thing to move forward.
I have learned to focus on what I can and cannot control.

As I start this next year, I’m not going to say it’s going to be all sunshine and rainbows. I can’t know what the future will bring, but I can know that I’ve learned resilience.

Month End Mania

This one goes out to all of my biz owner friends in the audience!

How often to you get to month end and think, “How did we get here? How’s it __________? Where did the month go? I’m so behind!!!” More often than not, this has been me in the last twelve years that I have taken my direct sales business more seriously (because let’s be real, there are still moments when I don’t work as diligently as I should). Also, I say twelve years because those first eight years were kind of a crapshoot. We’ve all been there too, right? Yet there are still months when I find myself wanting to scream and shout on the last day of the month, “Who needs skin care? Who needs makeup? GO TO MY WEBSITE NOW!” Luckily for all of those in my immediate circle, I have gotten a lot better about not making desperate last minute social media posts to finish goals that I have allowed myself to procrastinate on achieving. Again, I’m honest and fully recognize that I have to say better and not perfect.

That said, two things have made the difference for me. First and foremost, I consistently remind myself of what I can and cannot control. In both businesses – our direct sales and our publishing – I cannot control the number of people who actually make a purchase. I cannot control the number of people who follow our socials, click on our website links, watch our YouTube channel, etc. Remember your granny saying that you can lead the horse to water, but you can’t make it drink? Turns out that is true in a WIDE array of areas. When you accept that there are things you cannot control, you can obtain peace. So what can I control? I can control the number of people that I contact, the number of appointments that I hold, the amount of content we post on socials and YouTube, etc. I can control how much networking I do, and I can control how much time I invest in working towards goals. I can also look up to mentors when I need help, motivation, etc. The second thing that has made a difference for me is learning that I don’t have to win every prize. This was a REALLY hard realization for my reward driven personality. However, I found that when I tried to win EVERYTHING, I would be so distracted that I would not win ANYTHING! Learning to narrow my focus to what I really want to achieve has mad a big difference!

Thanks to what I’ve learned, even though I’m not quite at my March goal, I’m not freaking out. I am proud of what I have accomplished, and I am using what I have learned to propel me into April.

Biz owner friends, who is with me?

XOXO,

Can You Help Me?

“Can you help me?” It should be such a simple question to ask; it should be a judgment free question ask. Yet how many of us as children/teenagers preferred to do bad on a homework assignment instead of ask for help? If I wasn’t typing my hand would be raised. For a plethora of misguided reasons, I never wanted to ask for help in school. Likewise – unless it was to read something aloud – I didn’t want to be called on in class either.

Fast forward to today, those of us who were afraid to ask for help in our youth are now adults who are trying to break free of the toxic habit that is not asking for help. Yes, I said toxic habit. Why? Because not being comfortable asking for help has caused many people I know to be over stressed, over committed, and feeling as though they are doing something wrong because they cannot figure out everything on their own. Spoiler, I used to be (and sometimes relapse into) one of those people!

What changed? The realization that we as people are not meant to be strong, independent, and capable of doing every single thing ourselves. We are not meant to do every single thing alone. In fact, people were created to need other people. We learn from one another. We all have different talents that can compliment one another’s skills. We are designed to need assistance from other people so that we can in turn assist others! It is human nature!

Along with the realization, I knew that from the time LilKsby started learning that I never wanted him to be afraid to ask for help. Mr. Kisby and I tell him all the time that you learn by asking questions and asking for help. I want LiLKsby to grow up with the understanding that we have the potential to be better as people because we help one another.

So today I am giving you permission to ask “Can you help me?” You may just find that doing so will change your life!

XOXO,

A Fine Line…

Are you superstitious?

There’s a fine line between superstitious and thriving on routines. I realize that sounds like a bold statement, but follow me for a second. As a teenager, for a brief bit, I thought that the outcome of my day could be predicted by whether or not I won a game of solitaire on the computer while waiting for the bus to arrive. Did I really believe that a Windows 95 game could determine my day? No. However, it gave me an excuse to play on the computer every morning before school, and I liked that routine!

I no longer play solitaire every morning. In fact, I’m not sure what version of Windows was the last one to have it be automatically included. That said, I do still like routines, and breaking a routine can be hard for me. In fact, some have even heard me say “I can’t do that. It’s bad luck” about things that may seem silly. Yet the reality is, I’m not really being superstitious about the thing, I just don’t want to change it. I really like to always take the same entrance into places, check things on the computer in a certain order, and have schedules for certain activities like what chores go on which day. I’m a creature of routine, and I am a lot more focused and less anxious with them.

Like I said, it’s a fine line…

We Wear the Mask

I just finished an amazing book by Elle McNicoll called “Wish You Were Her.” The two main characters in the book – Jonah and Allegra – are autistic. One of the recurring themes in the book is how they feel they have to wear figurative masks around other people. Thinking about that theme got me thinking about the poem “We Wear the Mask” by Paul Laurence Dunbar. Both pieces are brilliant with similar themes though the aforementioned masks referred to different situations. Then I started thinking about how many of us at one point or another in our lives have worn figurative masks.

Figurative masks are like a security blanket. They keep us feeling protected when we are actually feeling intense vulnerability yet do not want the world to see it. Perhaps a mask is worn during a time of intense emotions like the loss of a loved one, a relationship ending, or losing a job. Maybe a mask is worn during times of disappointment like not getting a role you auditioned for or not getting a job you interviewed for, or maybe a mask is worn when you are anxious about a situation and trying to blend in with all the other people around you who seem to not have anxiety. I’m learning as I get older that more and more of us have anxiety…I assure you that you are not alone.

Sometimes you might even wear masks when trying to make friends. With this mask you might pretend to like things you could care less about or do things that you normally would not do. I spent a good chunk from nineteen to thirty-three involved with a Live Action Role-Playing Game where everyone had a “persona.” At times, it was difficult to know the real person from the persona. I would care to wager that some of them even lost themselves in the persona for a hot minute. Talk about wearing masks! It’s understandable why you might wear a mask when socializing, but trust me, if you take off the mask, you may be surprised by how many people will love you for who you truly are. In fact, they may even like the real you better. Having friends is a basic human need just as much as shelter, food, and water, and I assure you that true friends will allow you to remove the mask. These days social media even provides us all with a mask as we only post the parts that we want the world to see. Many find it difficult to be truly transparent on social media for a plethora of reasons. Me? My social media mask is because I do not like to start arguments, and I like to keep certain things private. I think these social media masks are why so many people have a hard time with what is real and what is not any more. The final mask that I think of is that of “the social butterfly.” I have often been mislabeled as a social butterfly as I am really good at talking to a variety of people across various settings. People assume that I am an extrovert, but the reality is that I am only extroverted in certain settings. I can also be very introverted and more of an observer in situations. I promise, I’m not mad or trying to be rude during these times. I would almost wager that for most “social butterflies” it is more of a mask than who they truly are. Ha ha once again I could circle back to thinking about the LARP days. A lot of life lessons came from that time period…maybe I should write a book about what I learned from LARPing. On the other hand…maybe not.

Perhaps you are wearing a mask right now. If you are, I am giving you permission to remove it. I am giving you permission to be yourself. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

Proverbs

“…Stupid people have no respect for wisdom and refuse to learn.” Proverbs 1:7

Seven lines into Proverbs 1, and I think I may have a new favorite quote from the Old Testament (though I do love Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 and Psalm 23). It is easy for this quote to be attention grabbing given the state of the world. How often are we quick to judge and think the actions of others are indeed stupid and lacking wisdom? This is a rhetorical question, please don’t start trying to count. Quotes like this are easy to look at and immediately think of others. But what about ourselves? Are we free from stupidity?

As someone who has done their fair share of stupid things, I will be the first to attest that no one is free from the enticing allure of stupidity. I can also assure you that in my moments of stupidity wisdom is often so far out the window that is more minute than a blur on the horizon. But based on my experiences (some of which are still humorous), I can testify that the stupidity can stop, and you can learn from the past and become who you are meant to be. That is the most beautiful thing about faith. At any given point while there is still breath in your lungs, you CAN change for the better! Look at Peter; look at Paul! They had a plethora of moments of stupidity, yet they were entrusted to be the cornerstone (Peter) and spread the gospels to the known world (Paul).

My mission today is simple. I may not have the eloquent speech of Proverbs, but here is what it boils down to. You can make the choice right now and change the trajectory of your future. So…stupidity or wisdom?

February Fireworks

The other day, LilKsby and I were over at my parents’ house, and one of the things we did was light fireworks in February. The ones we used were nothing big – just some poppers, smoke bombs, snakes, and spinners – and were nothing that required waiting until dark. It was seventy degrees and sunny between rain storms which was a welcome juxtaposition to most of the weather we’ve had lately. We laughed and laughed as we lit fireworks. It was perfect fun!

After the experience, I got to thinking, “What if doing things just for fun, like February fireworks, even if it’s ‘not the season’ became the norm?” Yearning to dye eggs in September? Go for it! Want to create Christmas crafts in June? Go for it! Want to eat “Holiday Foods” in May? Go for it! Life is too short to not do fun things just because “it’s not the season”!

So my challenge to you as you plan the upcoming week is for you to include something fun. Even if it is completely out of season, do it anyway! The fun it will bring is worth it!

Purposeful Direction

“I have direction.”

“Yeah, towards the mall.”

Who else remembers that exchange between Cher and Josh in Clueless? Iconic, right? I was thinking about that line tonight after reading St Paul’s First Letter to Timothy. I know you’re thinking, “How does a movie that defined the mid-90s tie to the Bible?” In verse 1:5, Paul specifically states the purpose of his letter. That made me think about people and how many know their purpose in life and can explicitly say it without wavering. Then I wondered if there are more people like Cher early in the movie who know they have a purpose yet haven’t figured out what it is. Along with this, how many of us have – like Josh – assumed we know someone’s purpose when we truly know them very little and have no clue?

The good news is if you do not yet know your purpose, you can figure it out, and as long as there is breath in your lungs, you have time to begin living it. So how can you find your purpose? It starts with a little self reflection. If you need some guiding questions try these:

What drives you to get out of bed in the morning even when you don’t want to get up?
What do you hope people remember about you after you meet them?
What pulls at your heartstrings and will move you to tears even if you aren’t a crier?
What do you enjoy doing that blesses others?
What gifts and talents have you been given?

Something else to consider as you reflect is what are your love languages. Understanding these can help you determine the purposeful direction you need to follow. Finally, remember that your purpose is unique to you and should not be exactly the same as anyone else’s.

Good luck finding direction to somewhere besides the mall!

It’s Up To You

“If it is to be, it is up to me.”

That’s it. That’s the post.

Just kidding.

“If it is to be, it is up to me.” Some might hear this quote and dismiss it as sounding self-absorbed. They might think, “Well, this person thinks it’s all about them!” I can see where it would be easy to make this interpretation with the “Me, me, me!” mentality that is so precedented. However, others might look at this quote and think, “That’s a great point. If I want to succeed, I have to put in the work.”

Often times people (myself included) fall into the trap of “it will happen if it is meant to be” as though we expect things to happen magically. Along the same lines we might think, “Well, I hope this happens.” Then we find ourselves in a loop of disappointment when things do not progress like we want.

But wait! Was action ever taken?

No.

So what if we listened to the quote? What change might we see if we started doing the work to get to where we want to be? How quickly could we start to see progress? How quickly could we be where we wanted to be?

I know where I could be with just a little bit of action and growth sprinkled with pinch of consistency! Now, should I go for it and make it happen or keep hoping without action?

What will you choose?

Let Your Light Shine

Close your eyes. Think about your home on the darkest night with no moonlight. How do you see? Now imagine that in addition to the dark night the power is out, your cell phone is out of battery, and none of your flashlights are working. You have one candle. Would you let your light shine, or would you hide it under a cover as you wait for “the right time”?

Obviously, if you don’t want to trip and fall or have someone else in the house trip and fall, you are going to shine your light! You may even give your light away to someone else in the house that needs it more. You may have everyone gather in one room so that everyone in the house can be blessed by the light!

Common sense, right?

If it is such common sense, then why do people often shine a physical light for all to see in the darkness yet dim their inner light that can provide people with reignited passion, hope, belief, etc? Shouldn’t we be willing to share any light literal or symbolic that will help others?

The easy answer to that question is, “Yes.” I could prattle on about why I think people do this, and if I did, I might hit on some valid points. However, I am no expert when it comes to why people make the choices they do. So instead of surmising about things I cannot know for sure, I’m going to issue a challenge.

Are you ready for it?

This week, I challenge you to be a light to those around you by sharing kindness and showing love. Even if you only make a lasting difference to one person, you have shared the light!

Xoxo,
