Thanks for NoT Completing ME

Everyone says that old Jerry McGuire Film messed a lot of people men and women. By this one sentence You Complete Me. I never gave it much thought, until recently when a person I know put all her time and energy into a marriage and children and career. Those were the world's and orbits and any chance for another to come into her life it was all about those three orbits. So much so that people were turned off by this person because she talked about the orbits or in psychology she was enmeshed. As time went on children left, marriage came to and end and career took it's course. I know this could be any story line on any Real Housewives Franchise, which is really where I got this. Anyway, the real question remains who are you without any of the titles or trappings of "success." The real answer or challenge is your character strong enough to withstand anything, can you listen to people with out one upping them or cutting them off mid sentence? Are you professiona

Work vs. Therapy

Recently, I was on a job interview or recruitment session and when people were asked "Why they would want to come to work in the morning?" The answers that I heard was so awkward for a moment, I thought I was in group therapy. I mean one person answered "I need things that would keep me busy, etc." Until I remembered Sheryl Samberg's book Lean In when she pointed out that the main reason women don't get promoted is because they want their bosses to be there therapist. At first I thought that was snarky, until I went to the recruitment event and no one said anything about how they can contribute to mission of the organization. In a day of cause based marketing, social entrepreneurship, women empowerment, and tons of books and shows. We should be aware that when you go on a job interview it is what skills and talents are you bringing to the table to help the organization. Cheers to Leaning In!

Subscription Boxes vs. Stores

I have always spent a lot of money on beauty items, my first paycheck at 16 was getting false nails. When ever I got extra money I was in either a department store or a drug store buying beauty items. Until, Subscription boxes came out and it saved me show much money, until UPS and postal service got angry at our boxes. So back to drugstores and department stores, until recently I calculated how much I spend on beauty products! And, how time I would go to beauty events for the swag where I could be doing a lot more with my time. But, the positive side is the beauty Subscription market has greatly improved, most of the companies that didn't understand beauty or business folded. Leaving now only the true mature companies that can withstand high volume and great customer service, but giving their audience the best in beauty products. So for 15.00 a month I have reconnected to my monthly swag, only going to events that I truly enjoy. Also, my bank account has seen a positive ca
