My first love was a hairstylist.
I had the honor to give my GREAT NEPHEW his first ver hair cut last weekend in Maryland.
He's adorable and looks so cute with his hair cut.

In my lifetime I have worn many hats and had many careers. ALL of them I loved with a passion.
I love life, with a passion.

It wasn't the career that I lived SO MUCH, it was life.

Create a life you LOVE.

Spend your time enriching YOURSELF.
NEVER STOP LEARNING.
KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
HAVE GRATITUDE.
AND ABOVE ALL ELSE Give thanks to GOD.

I love it when a color comes in to play!
Love THIS!

Sometimes, in life you just have to keep trying until you figure it out.

Here, I was working on a PERFECT color match for a piece that I saw in a very high end store in Florida.
I wanted to recreate the color on a piece in Italy so I decided to start my process -
I started with darks and worked to the lighter side
In the end, after several tries - I was able to achieve the perfect MATCH.

KEEP GOING. Life is a lot like this PROCESS.
KEEP GOING.
DON'T STOP.

ENJOY THE PROCESS.

Oh Surf prep I have missed YOU! Welcome home!! I can finally start my projects again!!! WooHoo!!

It all begins with SELF.

Nothing like a good old crusty, chippy finish. 🩷🩵❤️🩷🩵❤️
