Right now I feel CURIOUS. . . . I think we should Right now I feel CURIOUS. 
.
.
.
I think we should all be curious.  Why shouldn’t we be?  The theme of this year was confusion, fear and disarray.  No answers were ever given.  We were simply given commands to obey to. And now, more mass confusion.  Why?  It’s a valid question to ask yourself. 
.
.
.
It’s normal if a fearful response would be the first thing that surfaced.  Why wouldn’t it...you’ve been made to feel fearful. 
.
.
.
It’s normal that an abrasive response toward someone that is different than you would come up...because we’ve been made to feel like we are divided. 
.
.
.
It’s normal if blame is your immediate reaction...why wouldn’t it be?  We’ve been made to feel that we are weak and that everything is out of our control. 
.
.
More than any political party...I will always bet on the HUMAN SPIRIT, our resiliency and our innate intuition and power.  It’s within me and it’s within you regardless of your political preference, race, or sexual orientation. 
.
.
.
At our core we crave commUNITY.  We crave FREEDOM to be who we were created to be.  We crave LOVE & acceptance. We really aren’t so different, yet we are each unique.  Speak your truth, live...truly live your one and only precious life and stand your sacred ground. 
Light+Love 💫

#2020
PERSPECTIVE changes everything! . . . You could g PERSPECTIVE changes everything!

You could give up and just call 2020 a bust.  Write it off as a loss, count down to 2021 and start fresh. OR......

You can shake it off, refocus, get excited and get to work on creating magic in your life these last 3 months.

The choice is 💯 yours.  The results are 💯 yours.  Remember that.

“It’s your responsibility to stay inspired” “It’s your responsibility to stay inspired”
.
.
.
Lately I’ve been hearing a lot of people say they feel like they are in a “funk”. I 100% get it. 
.
.
.
So many of the things that keep us ignited, inspired and connected were cancelled this year.  I’m feeling it. 
.
.
.
And although I miss hair shows, personal development seminars and networking events, I also know that it’s not necessary in order for me to continue feeling inspired, creative, and impactful.
.
.
.
It’s never someone else’s responsibility to get us pumped up about our lives or what we are creating in it.  Sure it helps, but we actually have the power to do that on our own. 
.
.
.
Today I infused my energy by exploring a new area and taking in the street art and murals.  It immediately stirred up my own imagination and got me thinking about creative business ideas 💡 
.
.
.
It doesn’t take much.  Maybe a good run 🏃‍♀️ an online webinar 👩‍💻 or a stroll through an art alley 🎨. Do one thing this week that makes you feel alive and inspired!

P.S I was about 20 years old in this picture.  Following my heart, following my passion.  Little did I know how it would all unfold.  Working on sets, opening a salon, providing career paths for people, connecting with thousands of women year after year, mentoring and coaching hairstylists & salon owners,  reaching thousands of people through a podcast.  Life has a way of paving a path for you when your brave enough to follow your heart ❤️

If this year has taught me anything, it’s to REL If this year has taught me anything, it’s to RELEASE CONTROL.

You are EXACTLY where you should be. .
.
.
.
Experiencing everything that you need to experience in this moment.  Learning what you need to learn.  Walking through the challenges you need to walk through. Meeting people who walk into your life in this season.  It all serves a purpose. 
.
.
.
As I look back at the last 10 years (especially the last 5)  SO much has unfolded.  At moments, I was so impatient to get through a certain season.  Other years I hustled so much I barely even remember them.  Where I stand now, I can see how all of it served me.
.
.

If your in the middle, let this be a reminder that your beautiful story in unfolding...and you are exactly where you should be in order to get to where you are going 💓

A story unfolding... . . . I started writing in th A story unfolding...
.
.
.
I started writing in this journal at the beginning of this year.  I’m so glad I did.  In this tiny notebook holds my most authentic self.  My weakest moments and my most powerful breakthroughs and the magic, weirdness and clarity that this year has brought so far. 
.
.
.
The reason I’m sharing this is to tell you that your most important story is also unfolding.  It’s unique, deeply personal and gently requesting your attentiveness . 
.
.
.
What you share with people on your “story”  or “reel” will never be half as interesting as the story you share with yourself. 
.
.
.
The thoughts that aren’t on display for a “like” or “follow”. The feelings that can’t be deemed important or unimportant by an “algorithm”. That’s the good stuff. 
.
.
There is a layer of yourself that is unfolding that’s meant for you.  Not for anyone else.  Give yourself that gift.  Let it flourish without having to push, or prove, or post.  Let your most important story be told through you.  Let your most important relationship be with yourself. 
.
.
.
You may just find that your story is more interesting, intricate and wildly beautiful than what you could ever portray through a filter.

Where are all of my “people pleasers” at??? 🙋‍♀️
.
.
.
Swipe to see the review that almost stopped me in my tracks. 
.
.
.
Let me walk you through my exact feelings when I read it. 
.
.
Hurt.  Embarrassed. Offended. Angry. Inadequate.  Worthless. 
.
.
.
I thought to myself “Do other people feel this way too?” “Maybe I’m not good at this” “I need to get better before I record and publish any more episodes”
.
.
.
Every single one of those thoughts and feelings is an attempt to protect myself from not being liked by others.  My ego likes when everyone thinks I’m awesome. Can you relate? 
.
.
.
The wild thing is...I get messages in my inbox weekly from people telling me how I’ve really helped them, inspired them and thanking me for the work that I put out into the world.
.
.
.
Yet one negative review, one off putting comment can have us doubting our worth, our qualifications, our entire life choices. 
.
.
.
When you give yourself a second to get out of your own head...our human behavior is so comical sometimes.  The good news is I quickly realized my negative thought patterns and also that there are almost 8 billion people in the world. Not everyone is going to like me. And not everyone is going to like you either.  That’s ok.  Keep doing you, keep being led by your heart.  You will learn from the people who don’t like you and you will ride with the people who do.
.

Oh and p.s....new podcast is out today...link in bio. ✌🏻😎

.
.
.
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 👑🤍
