As most of you are (hopefully) already aware, I am actively seeking new authors for this site. You should be. I talk about it enough!
Today I am pleased to announce that Colleen and Praying4Courage have both accepted the challenge to be authors for this site. I am excited because I believe that their perspective and thoughts regarding Mary Kay will greatly enhance the material this site has to offer!
You can read up on praying4courage here at her profile

*note - there may be a few of you that have posted a profile and I (STILL) haven't generated your own page yet... I will try to look into that soon, but I digress.
I am very serious about adding different perspectives and again emphasize that if you would like to be an author, let me know. I do want to see that you have been participating on this site already. If you are interested, email me at balancedmarykay@gmail.com
Welcome Praying4Courage and Colleen and we are all looking forward to hearing from you on a regular or semi-regular basis!

Balanced Mary Kay welcomes new author mk4me
As most of you are (hopefully) already aware, I am actively seeking new authors for this site. Shay and Shades of Pink have both come on board and as you can see from their activity, there is no minimum or maximum required regarding posts.
Today I am pleased to announce that I finally talked mk4me into becoming the fourth author for this site. I am excited because I believe that her perspective and thoughts regarding Mary Kay will greatly enhance the material this site has to offer!
In case you missed it, or forgot, you can read up on mk4me here at her profile

I need a volunteer
I am looking for a volunteer. As you all know, I am always looking to add authors to this site so that we can have a healthy variety of quality content. I am excited to let you know that I will be announcing a new author very soon so keep your eyes open for that.
But right now, I am looking for anywhere from one to five volunteers to help with the creation of a very simple but important element of this blog.
From time to time, we discuss the various topics that come up on Pink Truth and other so called "anti-Mary Kay" sites. In fact, the premise of bringing up what is discussed there and adding "the other side" to it is the primary reason that this blog was created in the first place.
Although the thought of spending time on sites such as Pink Truth is hardly appealing and the lies that are strewn about in those places hardly affect anyone here, the truth is that for someone trying to dig a little deeper and find out what Mary Kay is "really about" Pink Truth may be the only "truth" they find. In order for this site to effectively offer the "other pink truth", we really need to be consistent in our effort to point out their inaccuracies and lies.
In order to truly offer this kind of 'counter-intelligence', I would like to have several people devoted to:
1. Visiting Pink Truth on a daily or weekly basis
2. Choosing a post from the main page
3. Summarizing the main point of the 'article' using quotes as appropriate
4. Adding your "take" or "opinion"
5. Posting all of this as a post on this blog so that members and readers here can comment and add their responses to it.
It is very important that we not simply copy and paste their post into this blog. It is also very important that whoever does this takes the time to do a good job. We do not want to misrepresent/misquote what they are saying and so criticize a non-existent flaw in their thinking. Because I want each volunteer to do the best possible job with each piece that they handle, I am looking for several people. If you can commit to finding, editing and authoring one such post per week or even per month, I am calling on you to help out. I do not have the time to proofread/edit your work, so I am asking that you be willing to compose this in Word (or some other word processing program) and ensure the quality yourself. I know that most of you are very busy with working your business and in some cases a full or part time job as well as being with your family. If this is not something that fits your schedule at this time, don't feel bad about sitting this one out.
As always, you can reach me at balancedmarykay@gmail.com - but I do seem to lose some emails to that address (in spam or cyberspace) so if I don't respond quick enough, please leave a comment on this post letting me know that you sent me an email!
I would love to see a "today on Pink Truth" post every day of the week, so I am thinking that 5 people committing to 1 post per week would about cover the typical work week. They seem to be pretty dead over the weekend over there so this would be a great start.
Please let me know your thoughts about this. Including if you feel that this is a bad idea. But if you don't like this idea, please be prepared to explain why!
Thanks

Balanced Mary Kay welcomes new author - Shades Of Pink
I have said before, and will say again... I want this blog to incorporate a larger scope than just my personal observations and musings. Also, I am really busy in my "real" life right now.
As such, I have invited anyone who would like to be an "author" for this blog to let me know. Shay was the first to respond and has been posting some great thought provoking posts. Great Job Shay!!!!
Shades of Pink has also responded and I am looking forward to what we will see from her!

Please let me know if you are interested.... and Shades Of Pink.... Welcome!!!!

This is a first for me (adding authors) so hopefully all will go well and soon several of you will be able to get new conversations started.
