New Year, New Me

Well, here we are. The holidays are finally over, but now it’s time for everyone to start “working” on their New Year’s resolutions. For some, it will go the same way it does every year: we have good intentions, but abandon them for the good old comfort of what they are use to. For some, they will get through the first couple of weeks, then decide what they wanted isn’t happening as fast as they wanted it to, then give up. Finally there are going to be those who stick with their resolutions either for themselves, their kids, or because their choices are do it or face something even harder. I plan on being part of the third group this year, after talking about it for so long.

Air Head Me

This is what I wrote on Thursday the 13th:

I don't know what it is about this week, but I just cannot get myself to stay on track! First, I started off by playing games instead of working Monday. That put me completely behind when it came to getting books out and collecting orders on Tuesday, and even Wednesday. Today, I am suppose to start getting ready for my table at Fast Wireless on Saturday, but it took me over 5 hours to write my social media posts! I keep getting distracted with other things (okay, so Facebook), and my mind is wandering a million miles a minute it seems like. I keep thinking about 3 or 4 other things I need to do, yet not getting any of it done. Not sure how I'm going to get anything done if I can't figure out what I need to do today to stay on track.

What is it about Avon?

Before I came back to Avon, it had been a couple of years since I had worked. I've worked all kinds of places in my life, but none that I loved quite as much as Avon (but armed security and embroidery were a close 2nd and 3rd). I don't know what it is about this company, but being able to make the friends I have, come out of my hole I've dug for the last 8 years, to help reintroduce Avon to people who haven't seen anything about it in years, and to become the Avon Lady for people who lost theirs for various reasons, has just made me feel like such a different person than I was 11 months ago.
