Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful!

I'm not really, well at least I don't think I am. Now my husband on the other hand tells me all the time that I am Beautiful. Geez, he's even sang it to me, but I'm pretty sure he was singing along with James Blunt. I don't hear him sing often but when I do and it's to such a lovely song, I smile! What is beautiful anyways? Is it all those darn gorgeous women in Hollywood or is being beautiful what's really on the inside?  They say "Beauty is Skin Deep", what does this mean? It is a physical characteristic not what's deep down in her soul. It's what inside that counts!

There is much that can be said about beauty.  Think about it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What's this mean? You and I have different views on what we see as beautiful. Almost like a garage sale "one man's trash is another man's treasure"! 

I have met some very beautiful women in the past few years that I enjoy being around, spending time with, learning from them, growing with them. I'm not talking about beautiful on the outside. These women are truly a gift from God, in our lives and in our business.  They inspire me, they motivate me, they lift me up, they teach me, I respect them so much. Every chance that I get to be around them, I take advantage of it. I thank them deeply from the bottom of my soul for helping me grow in personal development these past few years. I thank them for helping me to become a better person. I am committed to becoming just like them, giving back to others what they have given us. I love them dearly with all my heart and soul and that's because they are beautiful both on the outside but more importantly on the inside. I look forward to the day when I can hear someone other than my husband say "Karen .... is beautiful"!

Everything Happens For A Reason!

They say everything happens for a reason!  Who is they and what do they know? There are many things that have happened over the past few months and I've questioned "why?" We all do it, don't we? We say, "Why me", "Why is this happening"? But there's a reason.  We don't always know what the reason is and sometimes it takes months and even years to find out but eventually we do find out why. I ask why did my husband have to get in a car accident in June and still be in so much pain. I ask why has the weather changed so suddenly, summer left too soon! Although we got to enjoy the pool alot, for me, it just wasn't enough. I'm glad the kids are back to school though, now that one I didn't question and ask why. Just happy to have a schedule and normality in our lives once again.

We recently had a death in our family, a young cousin who wasn't supposed to die at this young age. And so this I've asked and questioned the Big Guy "why" many times over the past two weeks. So young, handsome and such a wonderful guy ... why! But they say "Everything Happens For A Reason". Not quite sure what the answer to that one is though. Our hearts are heavy and filled with much sadness.

We've met a few new friends just three weeks ago, by accident. Wendy, Ed, Julie & Mike, they have this place they call "The Perch".  On Saturday, August 27th, we took a road trip to the Winona Peach Festival. Well me being the wife I am, didn't write a location down and so couldn't plug an address into the GPS and took my husband on a wild goose chase. Got lost, go figure. Stopped and asked these people outside for directions (and a beer) and well let's just say 1 turned into 2 turned into 3.  We made it to the Peach Festival and had a great day. As dawn neared and it was time to go home, we stopped in at the Perch and they were still there, so we had another beer and another beer and well we had to drive home, so we called it an early night.  We've since become friends on facebook, we now text each other, we chat regularly and we've been back to visit The Perch.  What an amazing group of people, you should really stop in sometime if you're in the Beamsville area, I swear they will welcome you with open arms (and beer)!  Check out the umbrella between the two driveways, coolest thing I've ever seen with neighbours. Their motto is "if the umbrella is up, The Perch is open". There's even a sign that says "Beer - 2 for $5.00". Every car that drives by, toots their horn. It's amazing, what a great group of people. Nice that in this crazy world we live in, there are some people still so friendly and welcoming, it seems that we've known each other for years!

So I know the reason why we got lost ... we met some great new friends!

 I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.   Marilyn Monroe
