You may register an avatar there and it will appear when you comment here. Bear with us as we work through possible bugs, but there are very exciting additions to come!

I’m going to be away from the computer for a few days. Comments by new visitors won’t appear until I moderate. Don’t panic if you don’t see your comments. I will update promptly when I return. Everyone have a great weekend!

Quote of the Day: April 8

Back in, oh, I don’t know, 2005; Mary Kay, Inc. offered a gift with any wholesale order of $300+. This gift was a perpetual calendar featuring favorite quotes by Mary Kay Ash. Whenever they were offering it, I happened to qualify. I thought today’s quote was especially profound. Actually, I have seen several that I find profound. I am going to start sharing them more. Here is today’s quote:

Don’t focus on building the biggest business. The end result could be lower value and poorer service to your customers. While it may generate tremendous sales volume, your big business’s overhead may get out of hand and even operate in the red. Your big ambitions may also result in less time with your family. –Mary Kay Ash
