Ms. B. Discussions and Reviews

Before you read the rest of this post, I think I should write some kind of disclaimer.

This post is meant to make you think outside of the box. It is controversial and thought provoking. It has nothing to do with taking sides, any particular religion or faith. If you are wondering why you never heard of this story before it is because the mainstream media did not want you to know. CNN’s Larry King Live was interested in having Charlie Sheen on the show to discuss the questions of 9/11. However, they could not find anyone from opposing opinions to come on the show and debate the issues with Charlie Sheen. The dialogue you are about to read has NOT happen for real. It has been written by Charlie Sheen as a way to get the public’s attention. It was released on September 11, 2009. Whether you believe the catastrophe of 9/11 was an inside job or not, you can not say many questions are still not answered. Many of the victims and their families would like to see the investigation re-opened. After you read this I’d like to know your opinions. Let the discussion begin!

20 Minutes With The President

 Finally posted my first video for my Avon YouTube channel. It is a place where I will be posting videos of products that I actually use and love. Seeing is believing. Instead of just telling you about it in my blog I wanted to have a more one-on-one experience with you. More videos will follow in the near future since there are different catalogues that come out often. As soon as I’m able to send e-brochures, those that don’t live in the same city will be able to shop Avon with me.

 Today is turkey day in Canada. Yep, Thanksgiving. It’s amazing how so many Americans did not know our Thanksgiving is not the same day. More than a month difference. If this is news to you, then you just learned something . In this edition of Motivational Mondays, I want to focus on the positive things and people in each of your lives.

Think about this. No matter what your situation is at any given point, there is always someone else in a situation worse off than you.

What that means is, do not take for granted the good that is in your life at the present moment. It can be as simple as being thankful for the ability to breathe every day. Good health, financial security, family, friends, a good education, clean water. The list can go on. When you are thankful for what you already have, it can give you motivation to continue living life. It is all about your mentality. If you change your mindset into a more positive one, you open yourself for more good to come in.

Here is something I would like you to try. Every day for the next month. Write down 2 things you are grateful for. Keep this piece of paper and make a list. After a month, you will see how many blessings you have been fortunate to receive.

A few quotes I want to share with you.

Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action. - W.J. Cameron

If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one. - Mother Teresa

Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living! - Amanda Bradley

 The well known Avon lady has been around for decades. Starting out doing door-to-door sales in your neighbourhood. I always associated Avon with my grandparents’s generation. My grandmothers would always buy the lipsticks, those talc powders you spread on your bed before you go to sleep. Don’t forget the Skin-So-Soft brand of bath oils. They would be great in the summer as a mosquito repellent. Haha those were the days. My mom recently became a representative. She was looking for something part-time to do. The more I looked into it myself, the more I thought, “hey I could do this.”

Avon as a company has changed a lot. They still have their staple brands but at the same time, they have kept up with the times. I’m sure they had to or else they would not be in business anymore. They have a wide array of beauty products. Makeup for many different skin colours. As a black woman, I had concern about that but they proved me wrong. I was impressed. Avon also has well known celebrity spokespersons to represent them. Right now it is Reese Witherspoon. She has a perfume called In Bloom. I smelled it last night at an Avon meeting and it’s very floral but not too overwhelming. This being the holiday shopping season, there are so many items to choose from. The 3 packs of dip are scrumptious. They sell clothes, shoes, jewelry and accessories. Products for dogs too. A line named Mark is great for teenage girls and young women in their twenties. I was looking at everything the other night and thinking if there are so many products that I would buy myself then I’m sure a lot more people like me are out there. I’m pushing thirty myself. In my opinion there is something for everyone.

I’m really excited about getting my own business going. Who would of thought I would be an Avon lady? The best part is that Avon is online now! So I can send my clients from all over the world an e-brochure and they can shop through me. I made a YouTube channel where I’m going to be posting videos of the products I use from Avon or new promotions. So you can always keep up to date with me that way too. http://YouTube.com/melanie4avon . If you would like a FREE consultation and you’re in the Montreal area, you can email me at melanie4avon@live.caIf you’d like an e-brochure to shop with me, please don’t hesitate to contact me through that same address. You could start your own business too with Avon and start accumulating your own income. Once again, contact me via email.

Stay tuned to my videos on YouTube!

 Earlier this week my faith in people was restored. Seven years ago, my mother and I moved back to our hometown. At the time, life was a little crazy to say the least. We had to put a lot of our stuff in storage. Including photo albums, my high school years books, Wall art and other things. At one point my mother called the company to see if she could at least get our personal belongings out of storage. The sentimental items. We both could care less about any of other other stuff. Didn’t have enough money at the time to get everything. The woman my mother spoke with at the time was a real bitch. One of those people who love their job too much and whatever little authority they have. She did not want to reason or compromise. It was all or nothing. So after years of being upset that I was put in the situation of losing all my childhood memories and pictures, I decided to let it go. It was not worth it to resent my own flesh and blood. It took time but, I eventually came to terms with the fact that I would never see my pictures and yearbooks again.

That was until earlier this week. A man from the moving company called my mother out of the blue. Asked if she still wanted to get her personal items. There was three boxes of it. The rest of the stuff they sold. He did not want to throw these boxes away until he at least tried to contact the owners. When I got the good news, I almost cried . It was as if I was getting a big part of my past back. Old pictures of all four of my grandparents. Cousins, aunts and uncles. Some family members who have since past on. Both my mom and I never thought we would get that kind of call after so many years have past. It was a good feeling to know there there are still good people out there. We met with the man a couple of days later. He is truly a sincere person. Made a note to self to say a prayer for him and his family that same night. Thursday is when we brought the boxes home. Since then I have been looking through all the photo albums. I have so much to sort through. Definitely not complaining! It’s funny how life works sometimes. The lesson I learned in this is, no matter how attached you are to some”thing”, it does NOT define you as a person. Sure I would have missed all the photos but at the same time, I kept on living.
