Rock Climbing!

Two weeks ago I tried rock climbing at an indoor facility called Exposure Rock Climbing. I went with my friend and her kids. I ended up climbing a few times. The first time I only went about half way. I was scared, and I was very sure that I wouldn't make it to the top. Later, the kids encouraged me to give it another try, so with their encouragement, I shakily made it to the top. After reaching the ceiling I felt a real sense of accomplishment. It reminded me of how I felt after I went scuba diving for the first time. I felt proud, like I could do almost anything. Then I went up a few more times. The following week, there I was, climbing again, and I even tried climbing the "boulders" section without a rope. That was too hard for me, but I really enjoyed myself. Maybe I found a new hobby. It's great exercise, but boy was I sore afterwards. I hope to make it back out there, although it's a little expensive for now unless I become a member of the club. I need to get back to the gym...my running, well, I haven't been keeping up with that.

Mary Kay

I just became a Mary Kay consultant this week! Recently, I hosted a Mary Kay party for my cousin, Terri, who had become a consultant in October. Together we went to a Mary Kay Rally this week and it was very inspirational. I decided to follow the advice from a special friend of mine, Travis, as well as one of the lead speakers at the event. Don't allow fear to be the driving force in your life, allow God to be good to you, and let Him be in control.

I hope my business does really well. Of course I have practical concerns, but right now I am excited and very pumped. I know that with my family and friends' help I will be able to achieve a good start to this business.
