“There is never a perfect time to take a leap of faith”
.
.
.
I’ve been really quiet over the last month as I’ve spent a lot of time in what seems like constant prayer.
.
.
.
It’s been on my heart to be closer to family for the past several years. And although I deeply desired to make a geographical move to be closer to them, a whole other part of my life and heart is here in Greensburg.
.
.
.
The salon that I built from the ground up in one city...and my entire family in another.
.
.
.
It’s seemed like an impossible situation yet when I just decided to ALLOW myself to do BOTH the Universe started conspiring like I’ve never experienced before.
.
.
.
God wants to bless you beyond what you can imagine. He sees in you what you you have a hard time believing for yourself. For years I lived out of alignment for fear of failure, fear of being judged, and fear of the unknown.
.
.
.
To be honest, I still have those fears. The difference is I finally decided I’m not going to allow them to hold me back. Fear can hang out with me, but it can’t be driving my bus. And when we make this choice, it’s almost exhilarating to have the fear yet be taking action anyway.
.
.
.
I’m confident. Not because I think everything will go perfectly but because I believe in my ability to figure it out. I believe in our team’s ability to figure it out. I believe in the foundation and the leadership that has been built over the years in our salon. I believe in our team. I believe that we are smart and strong women who rise up during times of transition and adversity. That’s who we are. That’s who Contempo is. That’s who I am.
.
.
.
So here’s to my newest adventure...running my biz from a new city. Watch out QUEEN CITY...I’m coming for ya 👑🤍

If everyone realized how influential they were, I

If everyone realized how influential they were, I think people would smile a little more, complain a little less and start stepping into who they were truly meant to be.
.
.
.
It doesn’t matter to me if you are a CEO of a multi million dollar company or cashier at Walmart...do you realize you have massive influence on the people you interact with daily?
.
.
.
Try smiling (even if it’s under a mask)...your eyes say a lot more than you think. Ask someone how they are doing. Give a fist pump. Write a thank you card. Be a human that infuses life and energy into others wherever you go. Be influential. Be remembered as someone who made deposits (not withdrawals) into the lives of others. 💓🙌🏼

I remember when I was younger getting these terrib

I remember when I was younger getting these terrible pains in my ankles...my Mom would tell me they were “growing pains”. Now, my 10 year old son (who seems to be growing by the day) complains of the same “growing pains” and I’m able to comfort him by telling him that I experienced that same discomfort when I was a little girl.
.
.
As an adult I’m still experiencing “growing pains” just in different ways. I’m trying to remind myself that growth = DISCOMFORT.
.
.
.
Being uncomfortable is actually a blessing (and a necessary) part of growth and expansion. If your not feeling “growing pains” your simply not growing friends.
.
.
.
NOT fun, NOT easy. If I could skip it, I would. But because I’m walking through it, I will be that much stronger on the other side.
.
.
.
If your walking through the not so flashy or instagram worthy season of growth. I’m right here with you. Ugly cries and all. We’ve got this 💪🏻

Sometimes the most important progress we are making is the work we do behind the bright lights.
.
.
.
The deep work we do within ourselves. The mess we are sorting out. The relationships we are mending. The bad habits we are breaking. The fears we are walking through. The self doubt we are overcoming. The messy stuff that we don’t want to post...that’s the important work. That’s the impressive work that results in TRUE JOY.
.
.
.
So for all of those doing the work, going hard and pushing through behind the scenes. I see you....and you are impressive 🤍

Soul soaking ☀️💫✨
.
.
.
My purpose is, and has always been pouring into others. Filling myself is something I didn’t do for a long time and I crashed hard. But what I know now is that filling myself first is the best thing I can do for others. .
.
.
Like soaking up some rays before I go in to work. It’s the little things babes 😎

Can I tell you a super nerdy secret about myself..

Can I tell you a super nerdy secret about myself...
.
.
.
This is my favorite day of the year. The summer solstice...the longest day of the year. .
.
.
I celebrate the first day of winter because every day after that gets just a couple of seconds longer. I love the anticipation and the gradual progression of the days becoming longer...of more lightness and less darkness. .
.
.
The universe can be such a great teacher for us. Life flourishes in light ☀️ .
.
.
Be light ✨ Spread light 💫 .

So much THROWBACK in this photo. . . . My early da

So much THROWBACK in this photo. .
.
.
My early days as a hairstylist. A bleach blonde beauty school grad chasing her dreams...and my specialty was a messy updo with twisted cornrows 😂 (I swear that was trendy circa early 2000’s) .
.
.
These were great years that I spent at @tinas_hair_designs. This is why I believe foundations are SO important. I was fortunate that I started my career off being mentored by an owner and stylists that were crazy passionate, talented and motivated to always be learning. It truly set the bar so high that when I moved away, I never really found a salon that “fit me” quite like that place did. .
.
.
This is one of the things that led me to opening my own salon and guided me as I began to grow a team of my own. The people you choose to learn and grow from will ultimately become part of your bigger story. Choose to learn & grow from people with passion and purpose 💓

This is for the OVER ACHIEVERS out there... . . .

This is for the OVER ACHIEVERS out there...
.
.
.
I want you to stop 🛑 what you are doing right now and write down 5 ✋🏻 things your proud of yourself for. I’m so serious about this. .
.
.
There is a viciousTRAP we can fall into. When we accomplish something we barley stop to breath, let alone pause to soak it in. .
.
.
It would be like an adventurer climbing Mt. Everest 🧗‍♀️ and immediately heading back down to conquer the next mountain without stopping to enjoy the amazing view.🏔 Why would you continue mountain climbing? What would the payoff be if you didn’t take time to enjoy the view at the top? .
.
.
This is what it’s like when we don’t take a moment to acknowledge ourselves for the “mountains” we’ve climbed. The work we are doing, the perseverance that it took, the pain we had to walk through, the doubt we had to overcome, the faith we had to have, the passion we had to pour into it. .
.
.
When you get stuck in this cycle, nothing you ever do will feel like “enough”. STOP acknowledge your journey, look how far you’ve come. PAUSE, soak in the moment, exactly where you are at and know that this moment is worth celebrating. And AFTER you do these things....THEN look up and continue the climb. We all need this reminder from time to time 💓

Create a vision that excites you. .
.
.
During quarantine I completely dismantled my vision board that had been up in my office for the past 2 years. Picture by picture, inspirational word by inspirational word it came down. .
.
.
Some of the things on the board I had accomplished, some I hadn’t but most importantly, some no longer seemed relevant or important to me after walking through this season. .
.
.
So I used the time to recreate a vision board that made my heart expand...that gave me butterflies in my stomach, that made me dream bigger and feel anticipation for the future. .
.
.
You my friend, are a constant evolution...a beautiful unfolding. As your inner world blossoms and your outer world shifts and changes...your vision should too. Take the time to create and recreate it so that you keep working towards the life you were meant to live 💓
