Woman of Great Inspiration

I still think she's one of the greatest ladies that ever lived. Born Mary Kathlyn Wagner, however decided to use Mary Kay instead. She decided to kick some serious butt after she was passed over for a promotion by a man even though she could out sell him in a heartbeat. She launched Mary Kay cosmetics and has been an inspiration to woman all over the world ever since.

Wikipedia says "Ash was widely respected, if not always understood, for her unconventional approach to business. She considered the Golden Rule the founding principle of Mary Kay Cosmetics, and the company's marketing plan was designed to allow women to advance by helping others to succeed. Unfailingly supportive and enthusiastic, she advocated "praising people to success," and her slogan "God first, family second, career third" expressed her insistence that the women in her company keep their lives in balance."

I hope to get to see her pink mansion in Dallas some day soon. If I could affect 1/1 millionth of the folks that she has, I could say my life was complete.
