I AM ON CLOUD 9 RIGHT NOW, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL YESTERDAY FROM LOREAL INVITING ME TO THE HAIRDRESSERS AGAINST AIDS CAMPAIGN IN NYC, WELL I WAS ECSTATIC I COULDNT BELIEVE HOW AWESOME OF AN EXPERIENCE THIS WOULD BE, UNDERNEATH THE EMAIL IT SAID THAT REGISTRATION WAS NOW CLOSED SO CALL ABOUT AVAILABILITY SO I TRIED NOT TO GET MY HOPES UP TOO MUCH, I CALLED FIRST THING THIS MORNING, AND THE TOLD ME THAT I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO....................ATTEND WAHOO, I AM SO EXCITED I LEAVE NOV 29TH AND COME HOME ON DEC 1ST SO REALLY QUICK TRIP BUT ITS NYC, THE CITY NEVER SLEEPS... WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE OUR FLIGHT & HOTEL COVERED BY LOREAL SO WE GET TO STAY AT THE GRAND HYATT PARK AVE...
SO HERE IS OUR 2 DAY PLAN WHILE WE ARE THERE-
On November 30th, 500 hairdressers including ME will gather together at the United Nations for a educators workshop as well as hearing from guest speakers. On December 1st Worlds Aids Day we will flood the streets of NYC creating a viral campaign as well as on our Social Networks and streaming videos all over the heart of New York City, Times Square.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ALL THE BRANDS ARE GOING TO MEET TOGETHER, SO IT IS GOING TO BE SUCH AN AMAZING AND REWARDING EXPERIENCE.. I CANT WAIT TO SHARE MY POST ON MY RETURN, AND I OF COURSE AM GOING TO GO ICE SKATING WHILE I AM THERE AND TO SEE THE ROCKEFELLER TREE , BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO NYC DURING CHRISTMAS TIME...
I JUST AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY, AND I LOVE LOVE MY JOB AND THE JOURNEYS IT TAKES ME ON IN LIFE. I AM ALSO SO GRATEFUL TO MY AMAZING FAMILY AND OF COURSE MY HUBBY BECAUSE HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT THERE TO SUPPORT ME, IN ALL THE ADVENTURES I GET MYSELF INTO. I LOVE HIM AND I LOVE THAT HE NEVER MAKES ME GIVE UP ON MY DREAMS...

things I dont want to forget

I want to believe in myself, I want to know that if I want it to happen it will happen, I want to stay strong. I want to never stop being passionate about hair, and I want to continue to grow in my knowledge. I am an artist. I am a wife, I am a daughter, I am Blake's Mama, I am an Aunt, I am a Friend, I am Me. I want to stand up for what I believe in, I want to be able to stand up for myself when my feelings get hurt, I want to have a life with unconditional love and light. I want to move further in my career, I want to be the best I can be, I want to stay positive, I want to look more at the glass half full than empty, I want to spread more love into this world, I want to be happy with my inner beauty as well as be happy with my outer shell, I want to have pride in myself and my work. I want to be always happily in love with my best friend and husband, I want to have babies one day and I want to be an amazing loving mother, I want to be a true friend, I want to never have to be scared to open myself up, I don't want to be self critical anymore, I want to go back and read this every day that I start to doubt any of these things.
