I can’t believe it’s been 26 years. I’ve enjoyed more than half of my life here in the Mary Kay pink bubble. I came here in 1984 for a job, a paycheck to help with the family bills. I never imagined the impact it would have on my life. I have been incredibly blessed during these years...

I saw a great quote on Twitter yesterday. Unfortunately, an author wasn't cited, so I don't know who to attribute it to, but it really got me to thinking about what happens to us when things don't go our way. "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted" If...

After 20 years of running the company she founded, Mary Kay Ash set down to compile the traits that she thought had made her company so successful. That "list" was published in 1984, as Mary Kay on People Management . An updated version was released in 2008, under the title The Mary Kay Way...

On this day, August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified that guaranteed women the right to vote.

I often wonder how different my life would have been, and even how different I would have been, had I not "grown up" in Mary Kay. I was in my very early 20's when I came to work here, and had so much to learn about business, people, life and myself. Almost daily, I am reminded of the tremendous...

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I attended and spoke at a Global Business Summit recently in Dallas, sponsored by the local chapter of the American Marketing Association.
