God...

... might be pink.

In the more recent days, I've connected with an amazing group of women surrounding the Mary Kay foundation.  I've been feeling a little less than perfect for the past couple of weeks, and just when you think you have nothing left, in pops God in the most unexpected ways.  I found myself wondering how I was going to have time to volunteer and give back to the community, work, go to school, have time for myself... all while trying to keep myself above water.  Moving out is rapidly becoming number one on my agenda because I need -something- to keep me in the "I can do this myself" mindset.  It's been straining me more than it should be, but I know it's something I have to do.

So, anyway, back to Mary Kay.  I know, I know--- makeup and skin care products.  But NO.  It's more than that.  It's about faith-building and forming lasting relationships (all while making extra money and giving back to the community).  I'm super excited.  This is just what I need to refocus on God (whom I've been neglecting quite a bit).  I need to remember that whatever I do here in my temporary home will be given back to me ten-fold (here and in Heaven).  So, that's just what I'm going to do.

Here's to standing on my own two feet, remembering that I'm beautiful, and empowering other women!

Today has been a good Monday.

And I'll share this lovely song with you:
