Well, it seems I have taken a little blogging break for the week.  And although I have missed keeping up with you all, I have a good excuse.  I started my own business!!  I am now an official “Independent Beauty Consultant” and am having a blast!  I’ve started wearing make-up on a regular basis, which might be selling out a bit as I’ve never been much of a make-up person, but it’s really “all about the skin-care”.  And, I’ve been using cleansers and moisturizers for fifteen years.  Anyway, I’m linking up to my website if you’d like to take a look.  I will be setting up a pay by credit card option within the next week.

How marvelous, how wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvelous, how wonderful

I think I forget how much God truly loves me.  It’s unfathomable, especially on days when I don’t really love myself.  But here’s the reality:

And finally, today is my niece’s first birthday.  She’s so cute she won the local news’ baby of the week picture contest!!  Happy Birthday, Baby O!!
