Career Conference 2014

Had a wonderful fast weekend in Denver with my Mary Kay Sisters @ Career Conference.  So inspired to hear the National Sales Directors and Top Independent Sales Directors of the State. 

 

Some of our unit.

 

Also was so proud of Julie as she has gone on track for being in the Queens court of Sales for the National convention in July.  She and sister directors Anny and Monique got to walk across stage for that.

 

 

Anny, Julie and Monique on stage.

 

Coming back with renewed determination to be all I can be in my Mary Kay.  So rewarding to see people celebrated for their accomplishment, and watching everyone sharing and encouraging each other on. There was over 1,700 people there and not one grump in the bunch. :)

 

Back to my J.O.B tomorrow, but praising God for my weekend.  Our new theme this year is I <3 my Mary Kay ( I love my Mary Kay).... very true for this lady.

 

One side note... being an older "interesting" age, I thought I was a rarity.... but no, not the case. Oh so inspired by ladies even older than I.

 

Love My Mary Kay!

Ma and Pa too...

 



 



Unwinding.... enjoying the season.

Wow... looking back on the last few months I realize how "hunkered down" we have been!

 

It is not that we have had major problems... just allowed life to jostle us about, and not allowing ourselves to relax and let the Lord direct.  Such is the life of a fix-it person I suppose.  Well that is going to change.... NOW!

 

 

I am so enjoying being a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant.  Love the girls I am associated with too.  Got a chance to go on the fall retreat in Breckenridge this fall and it was so much fun! Four of us got to go from our Unit.

 

 

Learned so much and had a ball.

 

There was 3 Mom and Daughter teams there too!

 

We also harvested our veggies and walnuts, and are looking forward to a new and better year.  Discovered a wonderful recipe this year.  Peach Jalapeno Jam.... to die for! Use the recipe for Peach Jam, but first prepare 3 moderate Jalapenos, seed them and chop fine in a blender. Put them in the measuring cup first, then add the required amount of prepared peaches for recipe.  We must have made 6 batches of this and gave away 4 LOL.  Everyone loves it.

 

Had a wonderful time with Marilyn and girls here for Thanksgiving.  She spent the week here and it was so good to be able to have time to visit.  Miss having them close by. Had some awesome games of Jenga too.

 

So now we are coming to the Christmas season.  We are headed to the annual Christmas Blessings Banquet tonight for our church, CrossPoint.   Where we honor the House of Promise ministry for young mothers.  Looking forward to it!

 

To help us all to not have to buy gifts for everyone in our growing family we have been drawing names now for a couple of  years.  Couples drawings and kids drawings.  It helps us all focus on the important part.  Worshiping our Lord and enjoying the family.  Grandma still does not know how to act not scurrying about... oh my.  But, I suppose I will get used to it!

 

We Pray this season is a blessing to you as it is us. If we remember to put God first, it all falls into place.

 

Love, Ma and Pa

 

 



 

 

 



All things new!

As you all know we love lapidary, and making beautiful jewelry. 

 

Jim now has a fantastic shop, and has been happily putting it in order. He also has been teaching classes at the Gem and Mineral club we belong to.  So, when he had his latest Intarsia class, I joined in as well, and soon found out what a great teacher he is!

Here is the class. We are learned a lot, and had so much fun.

Some of the beautiful pieces that our students made.

Jim and Jeanie in class.



My first Intarsia!

 

Jim has also been teaching lost wax casting, and some silver smithing in his shop as well.  He is happily doing what he loves!

 

This week we got to be part of a special mile stone for our daughter Julie.  She worked so hard and earned the greatest award for a Mary Kay Consultant.

A Mary Kay Car!

So proud of her!

Her family.

Proud Ma and Pa too.

 

We are so happy for her.  She also will have her debut as a Director on the 16th... another big milestone!

 

Being so proud of her, I have also joined her team, and am now an Independent Mary Kay Consultant! And intend to follow in her footsteps and be the best I can be.  Join me at my website at http://www.marykay.com/clynch71625

and see what wonderful products Mary Kay has!

It would be my pleasure to serve you!

 

So, we are off on our new journey, our jewelry making, and to soon go "on the road" to shows, and also my Mary Kay business, which I am so happy to get started in.

 

Thanks for stopping by, will be posting soon!

 

Happy and busy in Colorado,

Ma and Pa

 

 

 



 

 

Committment and Faith.... and God!

Well it is bragging time for Ma and Pa.

 

Our middle daughter Julie Berg has been a Mary Kay Lady for 19 years.  During that time she has moved several times and had to start her business from scratch.  But she held onto a dream.

 

Some day.... "I will be a Mary Kay Director, and drive a Mary Kay Car."

 

She has been working so hard, and 4 months ago began the run to earn her car, and also to qualify for 4 months to become Director.

 She and her team "Berg Believers" had a verse for this that they held onto.

 

Proverbs 16:3 says "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."  

 

Here is the results!

 

 

Here is the beautiful car that will soon be delivered to her.  They are making it just for her with "Mary Kay" highlights.

 

 

She got her pin, and will soon have her Director Debut...

 

Not only did she become director but she helped 2 of her friends become directors also!

 

 

Here is the director trio!  Julie is in the middle.

 

Needless to say... Ma and Pa are bustin buttons proud of our girl!  And this is just the beginning of a new chapter in her life.

 

Thank you Lord for honoring our girl with her commitment to you and her team!

 

Stay tuned for Car delivery and Director Debut pictures :).

 

Proud as Peacocks,

Ma and Pa
