Just finished reading a memoir entitled 'Miracles Happen' Mary Kay Ash The Life and Timeless Principles of the Founder of Mary Kay, Inc. I am not into cosmetics, but this book was really fascinating to read even though it is full of the 'tricks of trade' of running a multimillion-dollar corporation. Mary Kay starts out sharing her childhood as most memoirs do, but she made hers fun to read for she shared facts of the times she lived has surviving many ups and downs personally and professionally from her first sales position to being founder of Mary Kay, Inc. Her basic tenets of life and business are as follows: God, family, career and in that order. This is a good supplemental read for subjects in economics and business studies for how to run a company/corporation. Women and men should read this book for Mary Kay shares her valuable ideas on how to run a business.

Babysitting
Anyone out there a babysitter? What does it mean to be a babysitter? Is it just caring for babies, toddlers and young school age children or is it something else entirely? Babysitters must try to remember what it was like for them when they were very young. Babysitting is a fun and creative job that could lead to other professions from nanny to teacher to being a parent.

The Golden Valley
The difference between light and dark could be as quick and simple as a flip of a switch, the drawing of a curtain, the opening of one’s eyes. It could be more gradual like the slow adjustment of the diaphragm on a microscope, the turn of a planet on its axis, the growing light as you approach the end of a tunnel. A flicker in the dark, a steady glow in the distance, a flash in the night sky.

Great review! Will check it out!
Once upon a time, in a faraway state, and five lifetimes ago, I was an MK consultant. It gave women great opportunities; more confidence, more earning power, and the opportunity to build a large enterprise, win some pretty baubles, and earn a pink car for those fortunate ones. The saying she had that I have never fogotten is: "The faintest ink, is better than the best memory."
