A little make up and a whole lotta heart!

Back in October, I had the privilege of meeting a friend of a friend~Dane Klein.

 Dana is an amazing woman of many uber talents, photography being one of those special talents. Now, I have been blessed in this industry to work with some of the best photographers, but this gal had a vision and heart. Enter~Project SHINE!

Project SHINE is a project that captures the heart, soul, and beauty of breast cancer survivors. I was fortunate enough to be on both sides of the lens for this project. For me, it was very emotional-more than I expected. Each woman had their hair and make up (insert Leslie & Margaret) done, and then a private photo session. It had been a loooong time since I felt that beautiful and FREE. The super cool element to this project, is that I know each of these fabulous women very well, several are very good friends (2 are "cowgirls") and to watch them reemerge and regain their wings, made me misty.

I know how it made me feel, but to watch them "shine" was priceless! I was honored to be a part of this project all the way around and it certainly felt like a full circle moment to me!

Many images were taken that day, but this image captures a few moments at the very end of our shoot~we were grateful to take a little time out for ourselves. These women are gorgeous, but we all walked away feeling like a million bucks and that breast cancer was finally in our rear view mirror.

Hallelujah and SHINE ON!!

Fabulous February!

 

 

Hello and Happy February!!

 We hope this finds everyone staying happy, healthy, warm and cozy.

The weather here down South has been "wonky" so say the least. We are swinging from 80 degree weather to 55 degree weather day to day. Crazy, but it keeps our weathermen excited, lol. (For those of you who might not know-my Dad is a meteorologist) :)

 

Just wanted to give you all an update to let you know some of the exciting things we have going on...this time of year, along with the normal business and office work-we try and spend this time replenishing, grooming over books, and updating sites & blogs. We are happy to say that we are currently working on a mooremakeup.com site conversion, a mobile site, new blog and an app!! Whew, for somebody who is not so tech savvy~that's a whollatta tech talk. Lucky for me I have a fabulous team of amazingly talented peeps.

 

There are several reasons for the changes and wanted to share the information as we roll along.

Many of you do know, I am breast cancer survivor.

 During my journey, we started a non-profit Foundation-

 Warriors 4 Warriors Foundation

and also wrote a book-

Warriors Wear Pink

I am also blessed to remain very busy with Moore Make Up~I adore everything make up and make up related!

All of that being said, I have been spending a great deal of time working on time management (is that an oxy-moron?)~ making sure we continue to deliver excellence in all areas and maximize our time.

 We have a plan in place, and so far...so good.

 

The main change will be the "hub" site, which is currently up, but evolving as I write this...(all of this is being worked on simultaneously). If you go to www.lesliecrawfordmoore.com it will give you the opportunity to connect directly with all 3 divisions of what we are encompassing. We are beyond grateful and remain extremely passionate about all aspects and adventures of our journey thus far.

So, that's what is coming down the pipe. Never in a million years did I think I would be living life this wonderfully, but I am. I am so excited, so happy, and so thrilled to see what's around the corner... from here, so far-the future is looking BRIGHT.

 And if you are reading this, then I have you to thank!! ;)

Until next time...xo
