So, for school, I have to create a letter of intent. This must include my definition of success, what beauty means to me, what accomplishment I am most proud of and why and how will I contribute to the industry after graduation..
Here it is, please offer some feed back
thanks :D
Success and beauty are two very powerful forces within our world. They seem to be the driving forces behind the majority of people. Many believe that without them, their lives are futile. Because of this, these two forces have gained a grip upon society unmatched by any else. I hope to be a light in a dim world. It is my desire to emulate beauty and success from the inside out. This, I dream to become contagious to the world around me.
Success is a very personal issue. To some, success is ample money, power, or fame. Success is often determined upon how much one has gained. I believe that success is doing the best one can with what they have for as long as possible. Success for me in the career field I have chosen will be in knowing that I have impacted someone’s life in a very positive manner.
Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder. It is incredible how two people can stand in front of the same creation and asses very different perceptions of such. This is a conundrum of humanity. I believe that beauty is found within the heart of a person; all outward beauty is an accessory to such. As a skin care professional I will have the opportunity to skillfully offer incredible assets to one’s personal beauty.
It is my goal to offer the beauty industry something it has never seen coming. I want to offer all people the opportunity for beauty. I am researching opportunities to serve the world around me. These include helping unfortunate women gain confident footing within the community again with a gained understanding of how to care for ones self as necessary in culture. As well, I have a dream to open a school in an underprivileged area. This school being offered to those as an option out of a world on the streets. Connecting with community partners to create a brighter future for those around them.
Throughout my life some have claimed that my goals are far too outlandish. I did not grow up within the best of conditions. My abilities never really outshone those around me. I however did the very best I could. I graduated high school when I was 16 years of age(one year ahead of scheduled time). Within two months, denied state scholarship opportunities and moved 1,000 miles away to attend a college that I thought was best for me. I was chosen to travel the country with a team of students representing our college. This helped with tuition. I did this while working and attending class full time. I maintained my GPA throughout my education experience. Within four years I had married an incredible man and graduated. I believe that anyone can accomplish anything given the proper drive. My ambition is found in helping others help themselves. I do not seek to live my life gaining success only for myself. I aim to enlighten others to the success and beauty found cultivating inside each one of us.

Beautiful New Song
As I was listening to the Christian radio station at work this morning, I first heard this song by Sanctus Real. The lyrics were so powerful, I just had to share! What an incredible thing we have within the forgiveness of Christ.
Last night Christopher and I were discussing a situation that a friend had told him about. Within this situation were to promiscious girls and a Christian guy. These girls began building a realtionship with the guy...over a course of time, the relationship crossed over simple hello and goodbyes and led to a true bond. They began discussing with him their lifestyles...how they would sleep with random men to try and fill void...etc. Right in that moment, the guy had 2 choices. One, would be to begin distancing himself from theses immoral girls. The other option, love them and level with them. This guy replied, you know I have that same issue. Shocked, the girls asked, "but your a christian right?!" He explained that although he was not physically promiscious, he has a lust issue..ie..he sees a pretty girls and begins to think of her in inappropriate manners. As he continued in reply, he explained how thinking and doing wrong are no different..and that all of us are sinners...Some however, have accepted grace. These, have been forgiven. So often we "grade" sin. With this grading scale, we often place ourselves on a grading curve...so as to feel as if we are somehow better than another. Fact is we are all rotten, undersiving, snots who deserve nothing mroe than to wither in hell...However, there is an awe inspiring concept found within the Scriptures...GRACE and FORGIVENESS. How thatnkful I am for such!! With this awesome thought in place, enjoy this song :)
Well the past is playing with my head
And failure knocks me down again
I am reminded of the wrong that I have said and done
And that devil just won’t let me forget
In this life I know what I’ve been
But here in Your arms I know what I am
I’m forgiven I’m forgiven
I don’t have to carry the weight of who
I’ve been ’cause I’m forgiven
And my mistakes are running through my mind
And I relive my days in the middle of the night
And I struggle with my pain
And wrestle with my pride
Sometimes I feel alone and I cry
When I don’t fit in and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere
When I don’t measure up to much in this life
Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ ‘Cause ….
In this life I know what I’ve been
But here in Your arms I know what I am
I’m forgiven I’m forgiven
I don’t have to carry the weight of who
I’ve been ’cause I’m forgiven

SUPER SUPER EXCITED!!!
For the most part, I've always been a girly girl. As a little girl, I loved to dress up! I was trying to get into mommys makeup and clomping around in her high heels. I thought I was little miss thang :) As started to grow up, i she my mother's pretties for my own. I enjoyed looking at magazines and attempting to duplicate "the IN look"...mostly it was a fail...but I loved doing it.
In college, everyone is broke! Desperate times called for desperate measures...the girls ended up turning to ME to color and trim their hair. I found myself to actually be pretty good at it...but it was just a thing...nothing major. Now, I've graduated and while looking an my degree the tght flushed through my mind,"now what am I going to do with it?!" This struck a pang of fear within me. Since then, I have been looking for ways to use my degree as a lifestyle.
I believe that God created each of us beautiful. It is my desire to show others the their own beauty through Christ. Who better to portray this thought than a hairdresser?! I will never stand behind a pulpit, but I do have a great life thanks to God and I can share that with those in my chair. With this mindset, I am looking into cosmetology schools. This is a trade that is usable whenever and wherever the Lord leads. I believe that God instills passions within us to be used for His glory. I may not be the very best in the trade, but it is my prayer that I will do my best for the cause of Christ. Please pray with Chris and I that God supplies strength, finances, will power and overall blessing as I embark on this opportunity....Tomorrow, I am going to visit schools to see if indeed this is how God wants to use me:)

Fla VACA!!! WOOP WOOP :D
We had a FANTASTIC trip :) Tuesday evening we headed out to work at baout 7pm...Chris drove all night and through the following morning. We arrived in Jacksonville just in time for lunch. I am so proud of the hubby. I only drove about 3 hrs...he did the rest! It's amazing what those 5 hr energy drinks can do ;p Mom and Blake had a great pot of chili cooking for us to all have lunch together...yum!! Then, we all just sat around and talked. It was so nice to be back with the fam again!
We when let Rosie into the front yard, my grandmother came to the door and started telling me just how she planned to spoil Rosie. She took us to the Petsmart and did just that! Yay for Granny's and their spoiling capabilities!!
Then for dinner, my mom took us to my all time favorite place...SONNY'S!! I was so uber excited!! Sonny's is this BBQ franchise that I've only seen in Florida. I really LLLOOVVVE their sweet sauce! Chris LOATHES the place because they don't cook the meat in the sauce, you add it to your own taste. He calls it FAKE BBQ..WHATEVER!! He doesn't know! After all of this, we went home and snuggled until the following morning...and by morning, I mean about NOON!
Thursday was NYE and we had some partying to do, so we mainly just chilled until later. The weather was very cold and wet. We were so super disppointed :( We had planned to go party at the Jacksonville Landing...which is like a boardwalk down the river. It's beautiful out there! It also holds a special place in my heart. This is where we celebrated NYE 3 yrs ago...when Chris came to Jax to see me. Our first smooch was under the firecrackers at NYE at The Landing :) AAAAWWWLLL ;) So, its become kind of a tradition...Well, we were trying to make other plans, die to the weather. Those all seemed lame, but we decided to order some pizza and just chill with some friends. As we were headed to pick up the pizza,we decided just to go to the Landing! We grabbed the pizza and ran home to change...then we ate and headed to the river :D The weather had cleared up in that part of town and it was actually pretty nice weather out there! We partaaaed until morning and headed home to crash! We brought the New Year in Right!!
..........the story goes on, but I'll save it for later ;)
