Pretty Little Liars Spring Finale

Okay if you aren't aware of what Pretty Little Liars is or PLL as it's often referred to as then this post is not to tell you what I'm talking about but still feel free to read. Pretty Little Liars is a book series written by Sara Shepard primarily geared towards teenage girls. Basically there is a group of girls who are all stalked and threatened by someone named A. ABC Family made the series into a TV Show a couple years ago and it just aired the Spring Finale. If you're not already a fan feel free to catch up but don't read further until you do. If you are a fan and not caught up, I suggest catching up. If you're all caught up feel free to read further if you wish.
So my take...first of all so frustrated we still don't really know who A is...although I realize the show would have to end if we really knew. Yes I understand the Easter Egg but is it really him? IDK seems too far fetched. But then again who is this "Charles" person really? And where the heck are the girls being held? How will they get free as there cannot be a whole season with them locked up? What will Tanner do now that she knows the truth? Will Ali be let go if Tanner can prove Mona is alive? So many questions left unanswered...
And all this brings me to, I must catch up on the books as some of the questions might get answered even though I'm sure the show has veered a lot from the books. I caught up to the first A reveal and I know the show did that differently but the rest is a mystery to me until I read the books to catch up. I just really hope the show is wrapped up in a satisfying way when the time comes. I see the final book was just released in December but good to know if I read the rest straight through I will eventually get to an end at least with the books.

My first Avon PRP Gala

Today I had the honor of taking part in my first PRP Gala for Avon. This event is an award celebration that celebrates Avon reps and their efforts in their businesses. Particularly in their sales and leadership achievements. I was honored with a special award: The Spirit of Avon. I was so surprised when it was me who won. Totally unexpected! I am so honored to be the one representative in my district who was chosen. Looking forward to future celebrations!

New Month, New Week, New Day: Starting over

Each day we think about what it was that we didn't get done the day before. Well at least I do. So with a new month starting, a new day starting tomorrow, and a new week starting I have made a commitment to myself to take the time this week to get more done than I did this previous week and also to make the commitment each day to get my goals for the day done. I'm the kind of person that if I don't schedule it, usually it won't happen. So with this new month starting and each new week and day I am going to commit to doing my best and doing better each time. Start each day anew. And if something doesn't get done learn to let it go that it didn't get done and set it on the to do list for the first thing to get done the next day. Also, I'm committing to try to be better about setting priorities for what I want to get done each day, week, etc.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 30: Hopes for My Blog

My hopes for this blog is to have people get to know me on a personal level and to share personal thoughts with readers about my life and things that interest me. I hope to gain some new followers and possibly some new friends through my blog. I also hope to help others see that anyone can blog and it doesn't require any special skills, just time and effort and planning. Something that is easy to do if you are struggling for topics is a 30 day challenge or 31 day challenge and follow the topics suggested. That is all I did for these posts for a 30 day challenge. Yes, I fell behind and it ended up taking me longer to complete, but it was still 30 posts that I wouldn't have thought of doing on my own. I may do another challenge at some point, but I think for now I'm going to try to blog some things on my own. In order to find a 30 Day Blog Challenge, you can either try the same one I did by following my posts and then making your own posts to fit that topic or you can do a Google search for 30 Day Blog Challenge or 31 Day Blog Challenge. Good luck to you and your blogging endeavors!

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 29 A Confession

So honestly I wasn't sure how to approach this topic of a confession. I came across this quote in a Google search and it resonated with me. I think something that I don't often tell people is that I want to make a difference in the world. Not necessarily change it, but make a difference in the lives of others. I think that's what drew me to both teaching and my AVON business in particular, but also somewhat to my other two direct sales businesses to offer more of an opportunity to others. I think that is also what drew me to blogging so I can get a further reach beyond the people that I know personally. Hopefully one day I will truly feel like I've made a difference in the lives of others and in the world.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 28 Most Embarrassing Moment

So this one goes back to my middle school days. To date I'd still have to say my most embarrassing moment was when I was in middle school. One day I was going down the central staircase and I tripped and fell down the stairs, spilling everything I was carrying, landing right in front of our school library. One of the librarians helped me pick everything up. Honestly, I don't even think many people paid attention to it, and I never heard about it later or anything as far as people calling me out, but I was so embarrassed of myself and will never forget that moment and so I still go with that one being my most embarrassing.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 27 What's In My Closet

For me it depends on what closet. My apartment has three and I still have stuff in my bedroom closet at my parent's house. My closets have clothes, shoes, games, washer, dryer, drying rack, decorations, etc. My bedroom closet at my apartment is also where I store everything for my Avon business and I'm working on organizing that so it isn't just a bunch of boxes. And no my closets are not this organized. :-)
