Expand my horizons and find some new opportunities.
Thanks to my need to keep learning and trying new things I found blogging and it changed my whole life.
I have been living my best life for sometime now but it was not always that way. I have had crazy family stuff, divorce, loss of jobs, lost a home, bad body image, I went down some dark roads mentally, but came out of all that and reinvented myself. I can talk about all the things from the past but I really see no need. I have moved on from the past.
I am a licensed cosmetologist and have been for the last 33 years. when I was new at the hair things I did have a whole lot of confidence and talked myself into not liking it at all. I packed up and moved from Colorado to Florida and went back to school to become a Technical Design Specialist. In my mind this would be the answer to my job dreams. Well to my surprise this job was way to black and white for me absolutely no creativity at all by did this type of work for about 20 years. 2008 comes and I lose my job which turns out to be the best thing in the long go of it. When it happened not so much. This is when my whole life started to shift, the divorce, lost the house, truing desperately to find myself. Turning to alcohol and a bad crowd of people. It took me about 2 years to straighten my ass up.
HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE YOU JUST CAN’T LEARN ENOUGH? I SURE HAVE.
I began to believe that my life will be great, and I will be happy in a career, and I will find a good guy. all these things happened as I became more confident and had the belief that all my happiness will happen. So fast forward to 2014, been back in the hair business for about 4 years at this point. I found a store front that caught my eye and saw the vision of a Hair Salon, but had no funds what so ever no credit cards not able to get a loan. I knew that I wanted this space so I some how gathered up the money for the deposits and got the keys. now I had to make it into a salon with still no money. I needed plumbing and electric done. My boyfriend helped me buy 1 shampoo unit and 2 styling chair and I went for it. We made the stations and other furniture, I opened Leslie Taylor Hair a month later and have been going strong ever sense.
Starting a new adventure with BLOGGING!
I found out right away when I decided to give blogging a shot that you need a website to house your blog post. So I have no website and I have no knowledge of how to build website or start a blog. So here we go I fumbled around for a few months building a website. And I figured it out and with some help from knowledgeable people.
Believe

Every day is day one
Just Believe and do the damn thing whatever it is.
It will all be worth it because, I believe I am worth it and I believe I have something to offer the world.
