Wow, what a lot that I have been thinking about today. The book I bought today by James Frey is a real soul searcher. I love him as an author and despite all of the controversy, he is real. I like real people, no matter what flaws, what experiences, I like to see them come full circle. I always watch American Idol when it gets to the finals. I think I am a country music fan now!! I have always liked some country music but now understand and appreciate it more because it is real.
While Scotty sang the song "She Believed in Me" I was thinking about how that song would be an ultimate tribute if ever dedicated to me. That made me think of the people who have believed in me. So my thoughts jump from one idea to a totally diffferent idea, then I jumped to the company for which I work. They believe in me, and I never knew just what they saw in me. I think many of the buyers for this company have very similiar personalities. I have been blessed to meet so many of them. What I know is, if we lived in the same town we would be very best in person friends and not just email or facebook friends. The characteristic I think that separates the top buyers from others is our honesty. I wish I had a dollar for everytime I said I don't want to be the girl who buys the ring that a month from now you wished you had kept. That is why I always ask before touching one piece of jewelry, "Is there anything here that has sentimental value to you?". If the answer is yes, we take that out and see what we have left. I say I will be here a year from now if you change your mind, but I do not feel good about buying this from you at this time. So many of the people who call me start out by saying my friend said you would be honest with me and tell me what you would do if this was yours. That is the reason I will probably never be a millionaire if it means I have to take unfair advantage of another person. I'm not saying that all wealthy people are unfair, I'm just saying that in the businessnes in which I have been involved, I could have made more money by being less sensitive.
That brings me to the mantra that I say every night while washing my face and staring at myself in the mirror, "Can you live with everything you have done today?". If the answer is no, I write it down and make it right first thing in the morning. It's that simple.
I hope you dance, and sing, and buy tons of gold, my dear Golden Girlfriends,
