Bringing It Out and Feeling It Again...

Feeling it come alive in me, again. Bringing it out.

But, I'm Aive

But, I'm Alive

I've been absent from my precious writing for a year and I will say it's because I was depressed. It hasn't just gone away for good from my life. It's gone for now and I've got my shit together. Get it, my GYST! It means, Get Your Shit Together! Thank you, Doctor A!

My thoughts are all over the place today. I started to write and write about what was going on around my world. I realized it was a bunch of bullshit! The real shit is that I made a great Facebook post to my Dad and posted it. Two minutes later I got a call from my parents yelling at me. Let's say yelling and screaming about how rude I was to put a Father's Day message on FB and not call. They're 3 hours behind me and it was 6:45 AM for them. Crushed. My heart, head, and soul are crushed, still to this minute. He hadn't even read it. I thanked him for choosing me. He adopted me when I was 7 years old. Life goes on, right. And to think I kept the last name. Fuck. Another story, for another post.

I want to go where I can be free again. Thinking of everything I have given will get me there. So much time wasted. My time is precious and to be spent getting the good stuff. These tears will roll down my face for as long as they need to, to escape this hell. But, I'm Alive! I choose me! I choose those that matter in my world.

Getting back in the groove, one post at a time.

Over A Year!!!!!!
Holy never again and it's time to write again and now.

Let's just start with a quote.

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master

Spirit and Flying The Freak Flag

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted to my precious blog. I love this place. The years spent here sharing, opening up, and being me have been one of the greatest outlets I've had for Me.

When you lose your Me or your you need to find your freak flag, again, then find what lights you up and let's you fly away with that flag!  My thing is my blog.

Find what makes you happy, brings your spirit to the surface, and let it fly high!

Scary Box to Brave Box!

Stepping out of the Scary Box and into the Brave Box takes courage on my part every single day!

I've taken it on and do it with purpose.  Passion is a purpose. Determination is my purpose.

I mention what I'm doing and this opportunity of a lifetime to everyone I know, because that is my passion with my business. I have been given so much with this opportunity and I want to share it with everyone!

Scary Box to Brave Box!

I Believe Pink Miracles

Passion is something that I have for what I'm growing every single day. I'm just going to put it out there and let it be known how my Mary Kay business has changed my life.
I always laughed when I thought about being a Mary Kay Lady! Now, I relish in the wonderment that has become of my world.

My income is 13 thousand more, since August, that it has been in years and years. I'm telling you this because WHO KNEW I could accomplish such a thing as a stay at home mom and wife. By growing my team, I'm now earning small commissions. The greatest part of it all .... the women I meet. It's incredible. I'm still learning this business and I will be all every single day.

I do know this for sure, though. Surrounding myself with great amazing women is only making me a better business woman, wife, and mom. It's an amazing feeling. So, when I get on my Facebook or Blog and ask if you want to join, it's because my life has been changed forever.

I believe that my hard work has led to some amazing MIRACLES.

Elisabeth's Lullabye

Dedicated to my sweet Elisabeth. You love being our little Surfer Girl and love being rocked to this song.

Here I Am....

My name is Christie and Here I Am...

I LOVE Sparkles and Pink.
You'll always find me talking about my passion and sharing it with other people.
I always seem to be a little cold and the winter on the East coast is too much!
I feel like I'm a Super Woman, but I'm a mere mortal.
I function on very sleep on a nightly basis, because I have goals that are pushing me forward!
A Pink Cadillac is in my future in the next 6 months.
........Yes, I live in my pink bubble and I love it!

They'll Be Days Like This....

After the long day it was nice that the men could feed themselves with the crockpot. They chose a gourmet side of tater tots, but it's the end result, right? They did it. It was good. Homework done. I'm worked my business and have two new Mary Kay Sales Representatives for my team! It's been a good team!

Off to bed!

Coffee, Crock Pot, Business Buiding, and Getting Ready Early!!!!!!

I make a killer yummy cup of coffee. My morning has begun with questions of what's for dinner tonight and I have a Crock-Pot for that tonight. I'm building my business one face and person at time, so I'm Face Ready, and it's only 7 AM!

Let me tick these off one at a time for you.

1. I have homemade Starbucks' coffee every single day and save a bundle, but wake up to a morning of yummy Java!
2. My weeknights can be amazingly busy, like all of you. On certain nights we have tutoring and swimming for the kids. On those nights I'm out at 4 and need to have dinner going for the family at home. That's when the fabulous Crock-Pot comes in handy for the busy parent! Get one if you don't have one.Tonight is a chicken night and it will make it easy to pull it together for tonight.
3. Selling Skin Care and Cosmetics mean that I need to pull myself together in the mornings. This is a true wonder, though, because it does two things. It makes me customer ready, if I need to run out for an order or interview and on the other hand, it boosts my activity in everything around the house and in my business. I'm ready to go!
4. Finally, I get it moving every single day EARLY! I am part of the 5 o'clock club. That's 5AM in the morning. Get up early and get something done early before anyone is asking you a ton of questions. Maybe you can get an hour of work done, uninterrupted. Have a cup of coffee or tea. Watch the news or read the paper. Maybe you can meditate. Do something and work for yourself!

Now that was my morning. It's 8:38 and I'm ready to post my first post of 2015! Love it!
Until Next Time, Friends!
Love...
XOXO.

Coffee Anyone!

Just a little coffee to get through the afternoon!

Back To So Cal!

Flying to my baby sister's wedding and full of a ball of energy in me! It's excitement, nerves, pure joy of going home, and more nervous energy from the kids. It's what they do and it's what they give in the endless who is sitting with whom. It's traveling with Christie and her ducklings. They quack and quack and quack, then the daddy falls sound asleep with his mouth open for delightful pictures to bribe with, at a later time.

Off to Cali and all my memories flood back. Only my girlfriends and guy friends really get growing up in the 80's in so cal, like we did and the free fun the beach gave us. Driving down PCH with guys wrapped in towels and taking off their wetsuits was quite the sight of cute boys for girls in cars!

Raised by hippies, I listened to so much vinyl every single day. I was lucky to have my dad. The song for this post is Surfin USA. Lyrics in the speak our life during our time. We had the Hirachi Sandals. We did Huntington, Sunset, watched our guys, and wanna be guys,near San Onofre, and so much more from that song. With our change in our bags for the 25 Bus, more change for a diet coke, and if we were lucky we could share NACHOS from that stand near the pier! Also, we brought the necessities like a low chair, baby oil, towel, small boom box with batteries if we had one. Yeah, lol, no one ever had batteries. We spent money on hair spray!
So much more. Aaaahhhhhh....the ducklings are quiet, because they can use pads and pods now.

On to the family....
