HOLY MOLY ! WHAT A WEEK !

Soooooooooo my first few days at the salon were GREAT !

I work Monday & Tuesday at Windsor Beauty Supply and Wednesday through Saturday at the salon :)

My boyfriend's been working out of town in Goderich cleaning up after the F3 tornado that whipped through Canada's prettiest town and caused an ENORMOUS amount of damage. He comes home on weekends for visits and GUESS WHAT HE DECIDED TO BRING HOME FOR ME ?

A HORRIBLE COLD !

Yesssssssssssssss, how nice of him ? Really, he could have brought something much nicer back for me but no he gave me a nasty cold :(

I'm not usually someone who gets sick easily, but normally when I do it's around this time of year. Seems as though my immune system thinks it's ok to temporarily stop working when the seasons change. I'm not complaining, it could be much worse and I am truly blessed. BUT DAMN, this was bad timing for me to wind up sick :(

I went from not really having many commitments or day to day tasks that I was absolutely 100% required to do. I went from having no jobs to 2 jobs in 2 days. And I'm NOT complaining ! In this economy I am grateful that my industry is still doing as well as it is and that I was so lucky to find such a great job after such a short time being out of school. I am also thankful that I have had the love and support of my parents, family and boyfriend. Everyone is behind me 100% believing in me and knowing that I am going to be successful. Which is more than  I can ask for. My family has been diligently handing out business cards, spreading the word about my new salon adventure and trying to rope in as many clients for me as they can.

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family [yes I'm Canadian, in case you didn't know] I was able to spend time with my cousin who was like my sister as we grew up together. I got to see my Step-Mom's side of the family, my dad and his parents, and his lovely neighbours too ! Although I was completely exhausted I had a wonderful time. 

It feels abnormally good to be genuinely exhausted, not from being a lazy teenager but from being a working adult. I feel so lucky to be so young starting my career, did ya hear that, career. Not just a job, but a passion that I am lucky enough to be paid for. Most 20 year olds are starting college, trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives. And I already have my foot in the door of a salon, a life long dream that's come true for me over the last year. 

So I guess this post started out as a rant and now it's turned into me realizing how grateful & thankful I am to finally have my life going down a positive, passion-filled path. And I guess I want to just share this with all of you. I want to share my happiness, my excitement, my passion and my motivation. It took me a long time to get where I am. My family and I have had our hardships, we've had our struggles, we've gone through many ups and downs. I never really go into great detail about my past, but I've really learned a lot from it and I like to share that with you.

I want YOU to know that no matter what road your life has taken you to get to where you are now, there are great things ahead in your future. There are many blessings to be bestowed upon you. You can DO whatever you WANT to do with your life. Hard work and diligence will take you there faster. A passion and LOVE for your job/career make things a lot easier. So when you find something you love to do, when you find something that makes it easier to wake up in the morning--take it and RUN with it. Turn that passion into a career !

Something I've been using as a motto is -NO TRYING, JUST DOING-
And it seems to be helping me reach my goals and aspirations.

Don't let anybody bring you down, don't let someone's negativity pour into you and make you feel negative. Don't let others tell you what you're capable of, or what you're not capable of. If you want enough, you've got it in you to DO IT ! It may take some time to get where you want to go ! I'm all about living in the NOW and not focusing on the past or future, but you've got to remember where you came from. Sometimes you have to remember the hell you've been through to realize the heaven you're in.

So that's enough inspiration/life coaching for the day Ha Ha. I just really want you all to feel the way I do now. The fact that my blog has over 8000 views just AMAZES me and makes me want to do right by YOU the readers <3
