My "Glamourous" Journey part 1

 

So I am no longer working in the Southend suppose to be "High-End" spa. I must admit the last minute being there felt really good. I felt like my talent was being smothered by all the hovering ; limitations that came with their idea of what services "High End" clients want rendered and are willing pay for. Fact of the matter is there is a market for every service. Needless to say I felt freedom. "FREEDOM!!!!  The irony of the situation is I really thought I wanted this job. But that was all it was a J.O.B. 

See my passion for being Cosmetologist was slowly depleting from my body after awhile. I was at the point of putting my dream of having a beauty & spa service to the back burner so I can be alert enough to build their nail department. But at the end enlightenment came. I completely tuned the "pit-bull in a skirt manager" out, and for the first time listened to that voice that was coming from that dark place inside me. As I focused in and listened, it seemed as though that voice lightened up the dark and everything around me. It said:

"Why are you fighting to keep this. This isn't where you need to be. You learned all you need. Give this woman a hug and thank her for her time. Your free. Now move forward because there is something better for you." 

I immediately let go and gave her not one but two hugs. The look on the spa managers face was priceless. I left with my head held up high and refused to shed a tear. I actually had a sense of joy considering that the day prior I had planned to empty out my work space that I have been paying rent on every week and on that same token hadn't been there in weeks, and a strange set of coincident caused me to not quit that day. But I was definitely going to quit on the following day after I got of 6:00 pm. I almost lost this place that I intended to grow my business out of; and this J.O.B. kept me from building my own stability. Lets be honest, I am 26 years old with 2 children, I  don't have too much time to lollygag and procrastinate on my goals. Most people in my position don't have an opportunity to go for there dreams. Now instead of quitting on myself I was able to come back to me full time. Lets just say God works in mysterious ways.
