work in progress

So the seasons are changing and it always causes a burst of self-reflection for me. I don't know why exactly but I feel like maybe it has something to do with an end and a beginning. At some point, someone, somewhere has asked you "where do you want to be in 5 years" and most of the time you can answer with a pretty good idea of what you hope to have accomplished over the course of those years. I truly did not see my present day in my future 5 years ago! I had plans to continue my education with Paul Mitchell and work toward educating for the brand. I can't pinpoint when it happened, but I was totally taken off course and in an entirely different direction, and it has really been one of the biggest blessings in my life! In less than 5 years I went from being a freelance writer and 10 year stylist and salon owner, to a student educator, to a salon level educator, to an educator in training instructor, to a student salon team leader as well as a blogger and editor at large for the hottest new industry magazine, teacher of the year, hair removal specialist, and mentor for new stylists. I love the level of involvement I have within our amazing Industry and thank God every day for allowing me to do what comes so naturally to me for a living. I am just beginning to get my feet wet! I cant wait to see what the next 5 years have in store for me! Thanks for being part of my evolution.
