✨BreathTaking,
✨Exquisite,
🧩Transformative..
This is what I have been looking for.
I have now been at the Aveda Institute in Chapel Hill, for a month. I am studying all aspects of Esthetics & all things Beauty. 💋💄👸🏼
This is, & will continue to be, an amazing experience. It is also hard as hell. Going back to school at 48 is not only humbling; it’s vulnerable, scary, & a little mentally draining.🤪
Conversely, it’s deeply satisfying in a really special, & meaningful way.
I am energized, invigorated, & inspired to be more in ways I never imagined..
I am attempting to embrace all aspects of myself that I have put on a shelf, because it wasn’t practical. At least that’s what I told myself. I think I lacked the courage to pursue something that meant so much to me. I didn’t want to fail at creativity... I played it safe, emotionally. I did what I do. I built barriers to protect myself. It seemed safer. MovingRoom Coaching was my baby. I put my heart & soul into that business, but I never structured it in a way that allowed enough time for my creative self..The pressure of that almost crushed my spirit. It was not a true expression my creative vision. Please don’t misunderstand me, I love , & will always Love my first business.. But, I have changed. I need to create something new.
I need to utilize my imagination often..
It literally makes me feel whole. Its like breathing. And I eliminated most all time creating..
This time, I will not abandon myself. This time I am gravitating towards what makes feeds my heart . What a novel idea!!Here’s the ironic thing..in an effort to be “safe”..
I ended up hurting myself even more in different, unexpected ways! We always end up paying for the choices we make.
I was afraid of what the world & A bunch of people I don’t know,🤪..would think of me!
I never knew that doing something I enjoy, would be a life changing, restorative medicine.
I have decided to indulge my passions, & dreams. I creating another business!
✨FaceWell. ✨
I could fail. I could embarrass myself. I could also be wildly, ridiculously, insanely successful. 😀
I have simply given myself permission to be Unapologetically myself. I am deciding to not give a s**t, about what anyone thinks, anymore. I have decided to pursue what lights me up. ✨
I feel awkward & clumsy as I figure it out. I am a beginner again. No expert here!i spend my school days with 18 yr olds..THAT will make you feel old!!lol
I am starting over but I have some lessons & experience to help me make my way. It’s weird, precarious, exciting, & terrifying.
In this process, I am an expression of my own personal experiences of Beauty.
I am acutely aware of the apathy in our culture, juxtaposed
with the very human need for connection.
The simple act of connecting with another person these days is transformative.
It feels Dangerous,
Rebellious & Brave.
Nothing about this journey has been easy. Changing course late in the game, comes with tremendous challenges. I still feel privileged to have this opportunity.
This is my invitation to you, join me as Learn.
✨FaceWell✨Beauty that is Authentic, Brave, & Empowering and Born from my need to make space for all of us to be exactly who we are. Unapologetically. Period..
✨In the most sparkly way possible!
I will continue to post my thoughts, creations, and beauty I see everywhere. I will keep all of you up to date on my expected graduation date and where my services will be available..
🤓Word of advice: listen to that small voice in your head, pushing you to go towards your destiny….
It’s not going to go away. It’s inviting you to embark on an adventure. It’s literally your Your life force, your soul, your radiant, empowering Breath.✨
