Happy Sunday!

Thursday nights are our "Joe and Jack" and "Mommy and Mindy & Matthew" nights. We picked one night where we split up and spend time with our respective kids. We're a blended family. Blending a family is tough. I don't think I've ever met someone that has said blending 2 families is easy. When we moved in with Joe and Jack, the kids were pretty great but it was extremely hard on them. They had change happening everywhere. Their Dad was already engaged. They were moved twice by me into 2 different houses. First mine and then Joe's. Now, they have to adjust to living with 2 new people and adjust yet again. So, Joe and I decided, instead of shoving the unified family thing down their throat, we would take the time to just spend time with them outside of the blended family. 

So, every Thursday, Joe and Jack go out to dinner. And I hang out with Mindy and Matt. This past Thursday, I was eating Chinese food with Mindy and watching TV with her. Matt came home from work and was ready for "his" time with me. Oh yeah... somehow this evolved into separate 1:1 times. They literally fought over when Mindy's time would end and Matt's would begin. I thought they were going to start to wrestle right in the middle of the family room. I was ready to get the popcorn!

This was crazy and I was getting angry. And then... Mindy said, "Mom, you are so lucky. Your kids are fighting over spending time with you. My friends hate their Moms and would never hang out with them. But we're fighting over you."

I was speechless. She's right. I AM lucky. So very lucky and grateful.

It's easy to forget to be grateful for all that we have in our life. 

Do you know what else I am grateful for? You. Truly.

It's amazing to get up everyday and run this business... doing what I love... and connecting with you. I love reading your letters and watching your transformations. Thank you for following me. Thank you for opening my emails. Thank you for your feedback and thoughts... and yes, even criticisms. Thank you for sharing with me and being a positive energy in my life. 

Remember gratitude. It's a powerful energy that will reflect back on you in ways you can't see right now.

Thanks for listening... there's some important information in this newsletter, so make sure you scroll down and read all of it.

I sent out an email on Friday, but wanted to make sure you know about the specials going on this weekend.

So... I sent out an email getting everyone all wound up and excited about Your Color Style Academy... and then... 2 things happened...

1. The site broke... or was always broken... hard to tell right now....

2. I confused the crap out of you

After a LOT of deliberation, I am keeping things the same. Style Club Members... do nothing. Ignore everything I said. I'm sorry. I thought I had this great idea of offering a cleaner site faster... but it's just causing all kinds of confusion and frustration.

If you've been with me a while, you know that I do this. I don't mean to, but I get super excited and I create something... and I think everyone's going to be so excited too! And... I forget that sometimes changing what works can cause stress.

Here's what IS changing. Instead of forcing everyone to move to a new site... you stay put. I'm going to work around you. In a couple of days, your home page will change. Some of your menu items will go away because I will be reorganizing some things so that I can add in new courses.

Again, forgive me for causing the confusion. The Color Style Club is not closing and you can stay exactly where you are.

If you got excited along with me and cancelled your Style Club subscription in anticipation of the Academy, you can re-join the Style Club at $1 here.

**Bracing myself for angry emails**

I've started a seasonal color analysis video series that I think you'll find super helpful. No, I'm not going back to seasonal color analysis. However, I get a LOT of questions as to how the seasons align with Your Color Style... and many people still speak in terms of seasons. I get it... the "seasons" have been around a long time. These videos are designed to help you learn what it really means to be a certain season using Your Color Style as a way to explain... and to simplify.
