We've been friends since High School. We
may not have started out as best friends, but you have definitely become mine.
We usually only see each other once a month, and text maybe once a week, but
whenever we are together I feel I can be real. I can be myself, say what I want
and you will still love me. You have supported me in every little journey I've
been on and have continued to support me on the ones I am still travelling on.
I would not be where I am without you. You may not think you are that important
to me but you are. I have never worked so hard to keep a friendship, but you
are worth it to me. Know this and know I will always be there when you need a
friend. Even just a trip to the city for cupcakes ;)

Cheers to the New Year
So, this year I am finally finding time for myself and growing my businesses. I have so many plans going through my head and I just need to find the time to finish it all! I am so excited for the future.
Ok, so last year my word for 2015 was JOY. For the first few weeks of the year, I woke up and thought of this word. After a couple of weeks, this just became a "thing" for me. 2015 was the best year yet. SO much happened. Wonderful things.
This year my word is CONFIDENCE. I'll admit, the start has not been strong but I am determined to wake up every morning with this word in my head and reach and accomplish the goals I have set for myself this year. To gain confidence in myself and in my work.
Some of the goals I have set for myself this year:
One: To be more patient with my children. Isn't this every mothers goal every single day? Just to love them more, understand them more and hug them more. They grow up way too fast. Two: To grow in my businesses. I plan to re-vamp my photography business this year. Now that my babes are growing up I have one day a week without them where I can focus on my businesses and I plan to go all in every week. Three: I plan to have at least three online parties per month for Younique, once I get myself organized. First party is January 14th so I got to get my ducks in a row for then. Four: To find a photographer friend I can share my ideas with and to work together to accomplish goals. To work together and help each other grow in our passion. Someone with kids who knows the true struggle of balancing work, motherhood and being a wife.

Excuses are sometimes valid
You are so inspiring to me. I've followed you since you've started out and love every second watching you grow and reading your blogs. Creepy right? But seriously I have been so inspired by your words and your work. Your last post inspired, yet broke my heart. Those “excuses” are valid in my life right now. This year I am finally finding the time to do things for myself and re-vamping my business as I have been unable to put myself into anything lately. As a mother of two little boys, my personal being has been left to the side burner. I have yet to re-discover myself again. When I saw your posts about the results of the retreat my heart felt heavy because I would have absolutely loved to be a part of that. I hate these excuses for not growing my business as much as I want but I honestly can’t afford it. I’m a stay-at-home mom because we can’t afford day care; I have side jobs just to make some extra money for things like swimming lessons and going on rare dates with my husband. So when I saw your post about “no room for excuses here”. I am currently looking into some workshops I can afford right now in my local area. To me, this is huge. I was heart broken because I love following you and I truly would love to be mentored by you but I really can not afford $1200 to do this. My husband has a new job and can not just take any days off because I want to go away, even if it is to grow my business. When I say “hopefully in the future” I really mean it because I am putting money aside to afford to do it, and in the future because I can’t just up an leave my family for a weekend, especially with my boys being so small.
