Thoughts from yesterday:

July 26, 2011

When in doubt, DO Something; even if it is just a walk around the block.

FOCUS – follow one course until successful

FOCUS

Fixed Ongoing Concentration, Unlimited Success

Wow!  I thought the following about Mary Kay was very interesting:

“An  overwhelming numbe r  of  M w y  Kay Independent Beauty Consultants are women.

They, however, are extremely diverse - from housewives to u r b a n  professionals and

from all socioeconomic backgrounds.  In short, there i s  no "typicaln Independent

Beauty Consultant.

Becoming an Independent Beauty Consultant is convenient, simple, a n d 

straightforward - a n  individual signs a one page Independent Beauty Consultant

Agreement ("Agreementn) a n d  purchases the Starter Kit for approximately $100.

This kit contains bus ine s s  tools a n d  literature, a s  well as a generous amount of  full

sized M a r y  Kay@ products with a retail value of  over $300.  Furthermore, to reduce

the risk of loss for a new Independent Beauty Consultant and to allow for changed

circumstances, t h e  Company contractually allows the r e turn of t h e  Starter Kit for a

full,  100 percent refund within the first thirty days after a n  Agreement i s  signed.”

And this one too:

“Independent Beauty Consultant h a s  with regard to

receiving a  100 percent refund for her Starter Kit within t h e  first 30 days and the

Company's  promise to buy back, at 9 0  percent of t h e  Beauty Consultant's  original

cost, any of the products she  purchased at wholesale from the Company within one

year from t h e  date of  purchase.  Furthermore, there are no provisions in the

Independent Beauty Consultant Agreement t h a t  prohibit the Independent Beauty

Consultant from conducting other direct selling businesses, even businesses t h a t 

compete directly with M a r y  Kay. This flexibility applies both during as well a s  after

her M a r y  Kay business may end.”

I’ve been going through cycles of having it together to having it a mess since April or May. I know I can keep it together because I’ve been there. Trying to figure out when I get to a point of losing it. Not sure if it’s between those fatigue PMS moments or not. I’m gonna keep a journal to chronicle all of that.

My mom did say everything in my life will be better after the surgery.  I am so looking forward to it.  3 friends who had it this year all say they feel so much better now.

The fatigue and heavy bleeding are the major culprits in my life right now.  Sometimes I get foggy brain too.

I miss ME.  I’m on a campaign to get Keala back.  I do make cameo appearances in my life from time to time though.

I have to quit you because I HATE YOU

Dear Aunt Flow,

I hate you.  Really I do.  You make me sick.  You LITERALLY make me sick.  You give me lower back pains, cramps, headaches and unbearable fatigue.  I HATE YOU.  This month you gave me more bodily pain than I have ever felt in my entire life.  You wiped me out.  The fatigue you brought was a huge interference to my life.  You made me miss two days of work.  The drugs in my cabinet were not strong enough to tame you.  You really do make me ill.

You were heavier than ever those first two days too.  I HATE YOU!  I’m tired of you interfering in my life.  I’m tired of you taking the MOMMY that my children love and turning her into some evil creature from the bowels of hell.    Aunt Flow, we are not compatible.  I am by nature cheery, fun, lively, bubbly, sweet, entertaining, nurturing, all things good about WOMEN.  You are the total opposite of who I am.  You are fickle.  You are mean.  I never know what I’m gonna get when you come around.  When you come around I become someone I do not like.  You make me grumpy and crabby.  We do not belong together.

Why are you so horrible to me sometimes?  You are not consistent in your treatment of me either.  Sometimes you are ok, but when you decide to be bad you are the absolute worst.   Are you upset with me because I made the decision not to have more children?  Is that why you tried to murder me this month?

Aunt Flow, this relationship is so unhealthy.   You know that I do not do unhealthy relationships.  Which is why I am writing this letter to break up with you.  Yes, that’s right.  I’m taking a contract out on your sorry ass.  This is personal because sometimes I have to put my life on hold because of you.  I’ve done my research about non-invasive ways to get rid of you.  Now I’m interviewing Aunt Flow hit men to be rid of you.  In the meantime I wish you would go kick lava rocks in the hottest pits of Hell.  You deserve it after what you pulled this month.

Our entire relationship has not been all bad, but lately you’ve gotten worse.  I mean the first maybe 20 years of our relationship you were ok.  You didn’t wreak so much havoc.  But this month you went too far.  Maybe it’s because some of us get worse with age.  I think that’s the case with you.  I’m getting better and it is so unfortunate that you cannot get better with me.  I’ll be so glad when you are out of my life.

Aunt Flow, it’s been real but now I gotta say PEACE and Namaste.

Thanks and Have A Great Day,

Keala M. Jacobs
