I still can't believe that SeneGence was able to get Kandee to come to our Annual Leader Conference to teach us more about our amazing products and new application techniques. Ya know, it is funny how when you think you know something and/or you've got all the info you could imagine... to find out you don't. We can always learn from each other and I learned so much from her.
After watching her videos all year and having a "YouTube Affair" with her, then almost going to her "Glaminar" in LA.... (which I just could not make it to)... she pops out of my computer and into my life at a training event put on by SeneGence! It was great info & she shared some great tips. I cried when I first saw her because I know her story and I am so proud of her fearless "I'm gonna do this!" attitude. Talk about inspiration! She is beyond one.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is the perfect example of my blog title... Beauty on the Inside and Out. Her outer beauty is obvious, but her inner beauty does not compare.
I love following her to this day and still learn so much. She grows my spirit and reminds me to go for it, see the good, create beauty everywhere I can, and not to forget my values & strength.
To follow in her footsteps would be so hard, but I want to do what I can in my own capacity.
SeneGence products will always be my starting bag of products, but there are other products that I've come to love. And I've come to love them and learned so much through YouTube!
Here are my YouTube Guru's:
Kandee, Julia, Tiffany, Marlena, Gina, and Lauren. (They are my main go to gals) :-)
They have taught me so much... it is crazy! Seriously... crazy!
I've laughed, cried, disagreed, smiled, been newly convinced and most of all learned from them. Well, granted... it is a one sided relationship (ha!), for the most part. I guess I could post a video response and I actually did in May to Kandee, but I got scared and took it down (ugly fear reared it's head!). Yet, here they are posting their videos & tutorials all without that fear. They put themselves out there risking ridicule, judgment, loss of privacy, etc. Just because they believe in what they have to say and trust in their intentions. They want to show their desire to share, teach, give an opinion, and get honest with anyone that will or 'wants' to listen. (Admirable Ladies! Totally Admirable!)
I think it is amazing. AND If anything.... THIS is what I have learned the most:
To stop the fear! There is a list of bad that could happen (there always is), but why let that be my focus? If something does come up, I'll deal with it then. Meanwhile, I have to keep going, we all do. So that is what I'm going to do. Keep going and follow my truth. :-D
I'm going to keep taking steps into sharing, teaching, helping others.
Some questions for you:
What do you want to be remembered for?
What did you choose to do when you had the chance to make that BIGGER choice? (I plan to blog more about choices later)
So, in closing... I want to thank KANDEE (Julia, Gina, Julie & Lauren) and all the other ladies of YouTube for your choices. Your choices have inspired me to make better ones for myself.
Thank you doesn't even begin to tell you how grateful I am!
