Nouveau look pour une nouvelle vie

By: Gabriela Yareliz

A fantastic M6 FRANCE show that shows how far a little bit of makeup, time and clothes can go. It can change the way you live your life, the way you relate to others and the way you see yourself.

These stylists transform people.
Makeup artists, hair stylists, fashion stylists… I am enthralled with the creativity and transformation.

So, a lot of us don’t have a team of people working on us; but we can work on ourselves. The season is changing. These transitions are great to reinvent ourselves.

I think we all (men and women) have something that we could work on, which would act as a pick-me up in our lives. Whether its looking less tired and resting, more hydration, being more (or less, depending on where you are) natural, being more colorful, exercising, picking our ensembles more carefully–the list is long. We must do the best with what we have. There are things we can’t control, but there are things we can control.

Motto: Make your day a work of art 😉 and remember: Imperfection is beautiful.

Can’t Wait to See You on Oct. 15th

I wish I could go to the Takoma Park Library on Oct. 15!!! I grew up reading the Alice series. Last book. Awww… Weirdly sentimental, despite the fact that I have missed the last couple of books in the last four years. Takoma Park, where Alice, Elizabeth and Pamela’s life unfolded. The music shop, Lester’s girlfriends, Patrick…All of us who read those books have a special place for Takoma in our hearts. The new book will be released in October; it’s called: Now I’ll Tell You Everything.

Question:

Of course you know, but I just remembered that in less than two months you’re going to be at the Takoma Park Library to release the final Alice book. I will be there and I am SO EXCITED. Like a lot of people, I grew up with the Alice series, and it had a huge impact on my life. I’ve written to you before, so if you happen to remember, sorry for repeating myself. I was born in New Jersey. When I read that Alice had decided to go to University of Maryland College Park, I had *no* idea where I wanted to go to school. I ended up loving it and deciding to attend. When I started my freshman year, I had a rocky start to say the least. Eventually I found my footing in the huge university and now I am counting down the days until I…

“We must not trust in self. Our finite strength is only weakness. Says Jesus, ‘Without me you can do nothing;’ but He promises, ‘If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you will ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.'” Ellen G. White, Review and Herald, Feb. 28, 1888.

“In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:6

Press Forward

By: Ellen G. White
Let the afflictions which pain us so grievously become instructive lessons, teaching us to press forward toward the mark of the prize of our high calling in Christ. Let us be encouraged by the thought that the Lord is soon to come. Let this hope gladden our hearts…. – {Hvn 8.1}

Peace

4 Be glad in the Lord always! Again I say, be glad! 5 Let your gentleness show in your treatment of all people. The Lord is near. 6 Don’t be anxious about anything; rather, bring up all of your requests to God in your prayers and petitions, along with giving thanks. 7 Then the peace of God that exceeds all understanding will keep your hearts and minds safe in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 4-7
