These are the lashes you should have been born with.

My March Students Will Suffer

I apologize to my March NovaLash Training Class for just now getting this blog up. By now, you can imagine I forgot some of the little extras I like to write about concerning my students.
I can tell you this though. There were six in the class and they were so excited about putting on lashes (my choice) the class did not get over until 9:30 pm. They officially could leave at 6pm, but no they wanted to stay and finish with full sets.We ate left over pizza from lunch, munched on Pringels and O D'ed on M&M's. These women were talented, smart, and gorgeous. They tried to bleed my brain of lash knowledge until I had to tell them STOP! Go Home, LEAVE, Your children are starving.

This was the first time in all of my trainings where they wanted to take up residence.(For free, at that) We all had such great fun and they said it was the best class they had ever taken. I won't forget any of them.

The next day to my surprise(and it was a surprise-GO HOME ) one of the students stopped by my Condo, 17th floor (just happened to be in the neighborhood again) to show me the set of lashes extensions she put on her sister when she got back to the Hotel last night. She was excited and knew she did a fantastic job and wanted me to tell her that----and I did. They were done beautifully.

I want to congratulate all of the women for doing above and beyond what was expected in the class. ( I really think they were all anal, A D D- adhd, pqs hml and more)

Congratulations to all six of you on your NovaLash Eyelash Certification.

HereYe! Here Ye! This BLOG Is All About ME!

No-None-Nada- NovaLash class in April. This is the first time since 2005 I did not schedule a training class.

I needed a well deserved vacation this year. I have not only been busy with my NovaLash business, but I have been studying and practicing Reilki for the past few years and am now a Usui Reiki Master and a Karona Reiki Master.

I have also been studying to be a Shaman practitioner. It will probably be at least two years, maybe more, before I am ready to start my own Healing Practice.

And no, I will not be giving up the eyelash business.

September 1, 2009 I was ordained, Reverend Karlene M. Krista Shearer as a non-denominational clergy in the State of Ohio. I now have the authority to perform all religious services and rites, including baptism and marriages, as permitted by law.

So, you can see, I have been a very busy woman and a great one as well.

My husband Kurt (whom I love to death) and I went on a two week cruise to the West Indies.
It was different than most of my 51 cruises (yes 51) because the ship was very small, 750 people including crew. We were able to go to ports that we have not been to for a long time, because of the size of the ship. We spend a lot more time on some of the Islands especially at the beautiful beaches. I was also spoiled because a couple of the islands were French and I was able to buy a few fabulous things that I could not live without, could not.(surely you know what that feels like) Some evenings were quiet, and some were all nighters, dancing at the disco and playing at the casino. I believe we enjoyed every second of one another. Just us and the magnificent ocean. For me, it was very spiritual and I felt like I was the luckiest person on earth to be able to have all of that for myself and also to have a friend, lover, husband to share this with.

My life is good.

Being home the first 24 hours brought me back to reality and my very busy life. I am now designing a new web-site for a new business adventure. For those of you who have done this, you know that this is very time consuming and very, very, tedious work. The name of the web-site is Divine Timing and I love that name because that is how and why it got started. When the site is up and running it will be http://www.mydivinetiming.com/ . I will keep you posted on the progress I am making. I do know the front page will be up and running soon but that's about it.

This summer I took Fridays off so that I could spend more time at the pool and be wih my friends, it was a trade for working one night during the week until 10:30pm. I would have done anything to get that extra day off.

In August, we will be going somewhere for a few days to celebrate my husbands birthday, we do this every year and have great fun. In late September I will be going to Hilton Head to spend time with a friend, we walk the beaches, drink lots of good wine, talk, eat and just enjoy one an others company. In October, I will be away for a few more days for training. The last week in November Kurt and I plan to go Christmas Shopping in New York and we will celebrate our Christmas there.

That's my line up for the rest of the year, not counting weekly classes to attend, friends over, dinner parties, and special events. I told you my life is good.

Take time for for yourself, give back to yourself, manifest what you want and it will be given to you. That the law of the Universe. I promise.

A THIEF-You Gotta Read This

Remember the two Nikki's last month? Well! One of them, and I won't say which one-except she does not live in Cincinnati-FLAT OUT STOLE MY VIDEO from my Lush Eyelash Extension's WEB-SITE. The way I found out and it's really a long story, but not a boring story, that I will share parts with you.-A BIG WIG from the greatest eyelash company on this planet NovaLash, called me and said, she saw my video on someone Else's web-site. I was out of town at the time and was not able to take care of it, so NovaLash intervened and was able to find out who this person was. Can you believe I trained this person? NovaLash contacted her and said to cease and desist immediately. When I arrived home, I checked out the thief's web-site and don't you know that this WENCH was still running my video as her own. I called her, she said in a oh so happy voice, Hi Karlene, how are you? I was very calm and asked her why she was still running my video and what gave her the right to use it without asking me. She said,(with an attitude)"I don't need your permission for anything, I can take what ever I want off the Internet and use it and it was staying there." I said a lot,+_##**, but finally told her if she did not have my video off her web-site in 24 hours my attorney would be contacting her, I would pull her NovaLash Certification because we do not want people like her to represent us, and then as a BONUS, I would come to her house, break her arms off her body, and beat her to death with them. And, if she thought I was was kidding-PUSH MY BUTTON

Needless to say, she called me back in 20 minutes and said," I took it off," I then told her, I wanted her to send NovaLash and ME a written apology. She did, through e mail. It was short, lame and unprofessional, BUT we did receive it.

The funny thing is, she has two other lash companies' video's on her web-site who happen to be competitors and she is advertising for them on her NovaLash web-site. OMG

It's a good thing she can put on lashes extensions, because other than that, she really doesn't have a clue.

Thank you NovaLash for being so observant.

I was a cop for 23 years and most people at that time left a real bad taste in my mouth. After I retired for a few years I kinda mellowed, just kinda-and she brought back some of those old feelings and I allowed myself to be put in a position that I was rude and unkind. Since this has happened I made a final contact with her and apologized not for what I said, but the way I said it. The End.
