How to run the Las Vegas Rock n Roll marathon in the cold, wind & rain while keeping makeup on fleek!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Ok, today is a unique blog post: it's a bit of beauty, a bit of encouragement and a lot of photos!
I get it now why people hire editors because they are the ones who can help trim the extra words and pictures.

I love to write, though since this post has so many photos I am going to caption  each one and let the photo speak for itself.

This is my 2015 Las Vegas Rock n Roll Half Marathon experience. Why the half you say? Because a half is fun and a full is a lot of work and takes a lot of recovery!

By the way, yes, I am sore! It's worth it though!

Now, the  Las Vegas Rock n Roll Half Marathon in pictures...

Be More Book Tour with Sandi Krakowski in Kansas City - link inside

Back blogging continues!
And actually Gorgeous, I am enjoying it.

 Funny-these posts give me a chance to share the encouragement that I received from Sandi Krakowsi of A Real Change International-and the posts that I would have put up would have been a simple focus on beauty.

Well friend, the year 2015 ahead, is going to be a whirlwind and it's important for each of us to stay the course, keep focused and no matter what swirls around us-remember who we are in Christ, in friendship and in family.

Look at this quote from the book Be More:

This is wisdom. You can't have negative influence hanging around stinkin' up the place when you are being promoted to something greater.

I know it hurts. Pruning always hurts. But the results are glorious.
As you are going through a painful change, draw nearer to God for the love and support you need to get through the pruning phase so you can quickly move into the abundant growth and heavy fruit phase!

I'm right there with ya!

Remember-January 21st, in Kansas City and by webstream, Sandi Krakowski is wrapping up the Be More book tour.
I'll be on the webcast! Will you?

Back blogging and #BEMore

Hi ya Gorgeous,
If you saw the January 19th post, then you know, why this is a 'back' blog and not a live blog.

In short, life happened fast and furious and for the first time in nine years I was not able to keep up with the daily posts.

But to be true to the nature of my blog being a daily blog, I'm going back to 'back' blog the stories that were happening at the time of my not being able to post.

I had been busy at the Barrett Jackson car auction in Scottsdale. Enough said.
What helped me every day, was reading Sandi Krakowski's book, #BeMore on my lunch break.

I find her write so simple and encouraging. Powerful. Love that she keeps it short and to the point!

 Now, at first glance, she's gorgeous and that smile is infectious with joy. But look deeper. Read deeper in the book.
There is so much encouragement and many, many levels of wisdom in her writing.  I love it. It's like manna. From one encouraging woman to another-I love what she has to say.

So, get yourself a copy of the Be More book, and quickly turn to page 11, Secret #10
"Don't let them get you down".

Wow.

I say that all that time. It was refreshing to read it and encourage myself with it.
See, sometimes when you work with the public, alot. It makes you not like the public, a little.

So I saw that I just checked in to a deeper level of grace for the gig and held fast to the word to not let them get me down.

Hurt people hurt others to alleviate the hurt. Got it.

So going forward with good intentions ,and remember, "don't let them get you down"!
