QUOTE OF THE MONTH
Don't spoil what you have by desiring what you have NOT; but remember that what you NOW have was once among the things you only hoped and prayed for.

Seasons Greetings and Best Wishes To You All,
Over my Thanksgiving break, as I was out running here and there getting ready for my family Thanksgiving dinner at my house, I had the opportunity and pleasure to see and talk with several friends that I have not seen in a while. The topic of the many individual conversations were mostly about our views and thoughts of the upcoming holidays in comparison to past holidays. Therefore, I would like to share a few of these views with you. That's what friend do, they share. I know that for me, last Christmas, my family and I were thinking about the madness of the holidays; this Christmas, we are thinking more about the true meaning of Christmas. A BIG part of that true meaning is to recognize and thank God for you, my friends for your continued faithful support of my business all year. You are very much appreciated and loved by Mrs. Lucretia.
-One friend stated that last Christmas she believed in the power of the money and the job she had, but this Christmas with no job and little money, she is teaching her children to believe in the power of prayer.
-Another friend stated that last Christmas he was thinking about how good it would feel to be rich; this Christmas he is thinking about how good it is to be alive. He is a cancer survivor.
-Last Christmas, Mattie told me that she valued things that were costly; but this Christmas, she values things that are holy.
Last Christmas many of us were thinking about how much pressure we were under on our jobs or at the office; this Christmas many of us are thinking about all the people who no longer have an office or a job to go to.
More than ever I understand that last Christmas, " PEACE ON EARTH" was something we prayed for at church on Sunday mornings; but now, I truly believe that it is something we should pray for EVERY day of the year.
In closing I want to simply say from the bottom of my heart... HAPPY HOLIDAYS and May God continue to bless you and your love ones throughout the NEW YEAR.
With many thanks to you all. You are a gift from God. Lucretia

| ENCOURAGEMENT |
|
| by Audrey McCulley |
I have a love for life and a love for people. Always wanting people to see the best in everything and everyone regardless of what has been said or done. From an early age I knew I had the gift of encouragement and I have surrendered my will and life to the will of my Lord and Savoir to use me as He sees fit.
My gift of has allowed me to meet some amazing women who are taking life to another level and while on their journey our paths have crossed just when they needed a "keep it going" ...or "you can do this" word that keeps them focus and moving forward. I'm so blessed to have women in my life that have their heads on straight and enjoying life to the fullest.
I've always wanted more sisters seeing that I have 3 brothers and 1 younger sister. It's been a blessing to meeting Lucretia, Kimberly, Bridget, Khia, Angie, Shakeela, Eddie and Freida. All have impacted my life in such a wonderful way. I'm so grateful and honored to have met them and call them "My Sisters"
"Keep looking forward, for the dawn of a brand new day brings many blessings with it." ~ Audrey

Kimberly Anne
Excellence!
I'm Kimberly, the founder and creator of SweetWaxations™ Products. From my love of candles and childhood nickname "Sweet", the name was born (SweetWaxations™). I started dreaming long before I began actually making candles, perhaps I can contribute that to the great men and women in business who have gone before me. I've always wanted to cultivate my creative side, so I decided this past September 2009 to go for it!
SweetWaxations™ Products are high in quality that I can believe in and stand by.
Little did I know, my "creative juices" didn't stop flowing at the thought of candles but it was only the beginning. Then came the creation of my all natural hair butter (To the Edge and Back), formulated to treat weak edges due to over processed perms and pulling the hairline back over time. In a very short span, the hair butter received such rave reviews that one of my customers even said "it beats one of the leading brands I've been using for years."
Thank you for trusting me to provide you with a few of life's "simple" pleasures.

WIGGALICIOUS Khia Abanyie
WIGGALICIOUS was originally designed for women of color. I saw that there was not allot of options for us to choose from, and then it hit me! I started making these units for myself and received so many compliments, I thought why not start making them for others? I started on ebay and they took off! I had so many women saying "You have been what we were looking for, I have never seen this technique done before!" I could go on , but as I got more into it I saw a more serious need for ALL women. You may say
" What is so special, or what is the benefit of ordering from us?" Some of the reasons are, no more waiting two hours in the salon and no more feeling embarrassed about having my hair done in front of everyone (especially if you suffer from some form of hair loss). I started receiving emails about women loosing their hair to chemo and also to severe alopecia, and that is what started the donations (Angels of WIGGALICIOUS) . We have a variety of styles (human/ synthetic) and our units are bonded but can also be sewn upon request and with an extra fee. We love what we do and we pray that it shows in our work. We take great pride in what we do and make sure that we give you quality service right to your door step! So..."Remember, you too can look WIGGALICIOUS!"

Fabulous Black Woman EDDIE
After suffering the devastating effects of severe hair loss and damage related to the mishandling of her hair and using products that contained less than favorable ingredients, Eddie began to research ways to grow her hair healthy, strong and long. She purchased every product in the beauty supply store that claimed to be a miracle cure for damaged hair, but found that these products did not live up to their claims. Along her journey to healthy hair she discovered priceless information regarding the harmful ingredients contained in hair care products geared towards African Americans; the most effective ways of washing, conditioning and handling African American hair; the most beneficial ingredients for African American hair; and much more. She has compiled her 12 years of research and authored the Comprehensive Guide to Growing African American Hair to Its Fullest Potential.

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest of these is love. It is not enough to share that love with those that we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but with all human kind. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.
Thank you all so very much for all you have done to support me all year.
I can only hope that in the process
I have brought EACH OF you a bit of happiness also.
SEASON GREETINGS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
