may not get you a lot of friends,

but it will always get you

the right ones.

get more satisfaction

out of the brutality

I don't need to lie,

but sometimes

I  like to give the truth

and extreme makeover.

  If  it  is  not  right -  do not  do  it.

If  it  is  not  true -  do not  say  it.

"I love my four children and four grandchildren.

They are adorable, beautiful, hilarious,

 and just plain fun to be around.

I taught them to tell the truth. 

I never had to teach any of my kids to lie.

Lying comes naturally to all humans.

It's a part of our sinful nature.

It's standard equipment 

that my precious babies and I were born with."

I met Mary Kay Ash in 1978, in Dallas.

 I was a young wife, 

mother of two, 

 preschool teacher, 

and

Mary Kay Cosmetics sales rep.

Mary Kay gave each of us 

in attendance at the convention

 two charms:  

one small shovel and one larger shovel.

Mary Kay explained:

"This is to remind you 

that you can NEVER out-give God.

You give to others out of a small shovel, 

but God always gives to you 

out of a bigger shovel."
