Last Day of April

So, it is the last day of April and time is winding down on this very special deal where the company has allowed us to offer getting started with our opportunity for a reduced price. I still have one in the works right now, and since I have done very little work this month, I'm hoping it will come through so I can offer this promotion next month as well. 

It's such an exciting time as we end another month and get closer and closer to the end of our Mary Kay seminar year, which means SEMINAR is so close! Who is attending? I highly recommend that you attend if you weren't already planning to. It is amazing and you won't regret it! If you have not already registered, or did not have priority registration, you can register starting tomorrow!! 

Tomorrow is the start of a brand new month and we must shut this month down strong! 
I will post again Friday.

MK Love

Yesterday I had to take my son to the doctor and because it was Monday everyone was there and they were so awesome to squeeze us in, however, there was a bit of a wait. I should have brought my work with me, so I could at least send text messages, however I wasn't thinking about it so I got zero hours of work done yesterday.  I do want to share a couple of small things though. 

First, I have these business card magnets that you can peel off the backing and stick your own business card to it. I made about 5 so I can start placing them in orders that I'm mailing out, or to new clients. I know you can order them though mkconnections (and they look like they would be awesome), however I've just got the supplies to do it myself and I think its probably a bit cheaper this way too. You can buy these for about $10-15 for a 100 pk. and that makes them less than .30 ea. when you include the cost of the business cards.

Second, have you seen this? I saw it, and although I'm not sure where it originally came from, it is so cute, eye catching and intriguing. I posted it on my fb page and it's catching some attention. We only have today and tomorrow left for this awesome deal (until you sign up someone this month and then it's extended through next month as well), so we have got to make the best of it! 
Tonight is our meeting so I'll be using this time to soak up the MK love and get my motivation on! Ya'll have a wonderfully wonderful day!

DOUBT is a choice. Just like BELIEF is a choice. -Unknown

The Storm Is Passing

Thank you to everyone for all of the love, support and prayers.  We have been though so much mentally and physically since mid March, and I am so grateful to say that God has brought us through this with a peace during the times that it was most needed. Of course we still are going through and will be going through certain stages for a while, but I know that God is good. There are still days where maybe something I see, hear or even think about will bring up the pain and it will just hit me hard. It's very unexpected when it happens so it's hard to know how to avoid those things. I just never really know what will do it. There are days like Friday that the pain hits me unexpectedly, however overall I am doing well mentally and physically. On April 1, 2014 at 1:08am we gave birth to a baby boy. We then named him Joseph Edward Rico. My husbands name is Joe and most people think his real name is Joseph so we thought that was perfect. It also means "he will add" and Joseph has added to our family and we know God will add to our family again. And Edward is my husbands middle name so we thought it would go well. We look forward to being able to see him and hold him in heaven one day, until then, he is in the arms of our Heavenly Father.

This week and last, I have been taking care of our sick little boy. He has ear infections in both ears and strep throat, so he has only wanted to lay on me. Today he is playing a little, so I'm trying to get some things done.

I'm so ready to get busy with my 4 hour plan! Today I am going to attempt at least 1-2 hours as long as my son lets me. My main focus is going to be on interviews and following up with those that have shown any interest in the opportunity, then booking. I'm really looking forward to first, getting back into my red jacket. It makes getting ready for the meetings so easy and it also makes packing for seminar really easy.


The race is on! Are you running? Ready...Set..GO!!!












The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow. -Unknown
