Negitive People

This is something great for my current situation. I love it! Enjoy!

Negative PeopleThis is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to rain on your parade. So, remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing, and cares less, tries to make your life miserable.A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: " Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome .. So, how are you getting there?""We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!""Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly,and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?""We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome 's Tiber River called Teste.""Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump, the worst hotel in the city! The rooms are small, the service is surly,and they're overpriced.So, whatcha' doing when you get there?""We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope.""That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. "You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome .."It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!""Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope.""Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican , a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me.""Oh, really! What'd he say ?"He said: "Where'd you get that crappy looking Hairdo?"

My Rocks

We all have times when we need to lean on someone. Those people really do not get the Thank you they deserve, Mine happen to be my parents.
I thank god every day for such an amazing mother and father. I wouldn't trade them for the world.
They love me for me, no matter how bad I screw up or fall down they are there to pick me up and say "stop being an ass and get up".
I can not even imagine not having them as part of my life. There is a love that can never be explained.
I love you, and thank you

By: Philosophy


Some of the greatest stories ever told began in the hearts and souls of some of the most broken down people in the world.
They did not seek sympathy or charity. They sought courage and faith. They took long and humble journeys only to finally reach some of the highest mountain tops in the world. They didn't try to shine, but they inspired. They were lights to the world who showed us that we could be lights too.

New Opportunities

Sometime life brings things to us we do not understand or even know why it happens, but I am starting to think Im on the right path this time.
I am no longer with Estee Lauder (Origins) and will be soon working for Lush Cosmetics.
July 21 I will be leaving for Santa Monica for a two week training. I will be right on the beach! What else can I ask for.
I am going to do my best, rock that store to double increases and show them I am a great manager and worthy to be a District Manager/Regional Manager.
I will have my goals and dreams come true.
Thanks again to everyone that has supported me over the last two weeks. God Bless you.
I love you dearly! I know who my true friends are.
