  • Is a Rich and Satisfying Life Even Possible?

    Most of us are searching and striving for a life of peace and joy, which always seems just out of reach. Perhaps we will be satisfied when we get a new job, find a husband, or move… Maybe life will be better when we finally have children… or when they finally reach the next stage,…

  • Do You Cry Over Spilled Milk?

    Do You Cry Over Spilled Milk?

    As a young adult renting my home, I wasn’t very concerned with how it looked. Once I owned a house, however, I took great pride in how clean, organized and decorated it was. My husband built our first home, so perhaps my experience of taking ownership is more drastic than yours, but suddenly I cared.…

    It’s the life-lessons that we struggle with the most that hold the deepest meaning–and make us most qualified to teach. 

  • KNOW YOUR PURPOSE

    Generally, a chair is for sitting and shears are for cutting. Both items are designed for a purpose. More specifically, a salon chair is for styling hair and office shears are for cutting paper.  Likewise, you could define your own purpose in general terms or more specifically.

    New Beginnings

    There is something about a fresh start that is truly inspirational. The pandemic has stretched us all but, somehow, the start of a new year–even if it still requires facial coverings and social distancing–is a breath of fresh air.  2020 changed our perspective on life in many ways.

    Life may never be the same after this pandemic, but it sure is good to get back into the salons, even if it’s so much less personal! It’s just easier to cope with all the changes when our nails are finished and our hair is good, isn’t it? As women, when we feel beautiful, we…

  • The Best Solution to Discrimination

    Racial discrimination is a serious problem, but prejudice isn’t limited to color or culture. People always “judge a book by its cover,” this is a fact of life. If we are honest, we all make visual assessments and prideful assumptions based on personal experiences and preferences all the time. We choose our communities, caretakers or…

  • The Most Common Question

    The Most Common Question

    The Covid-19 stay-at-home-order has put us all in casual dress mode. I can’t remember the last time I dressed up–even our Easter photo opt. proved to be casual (at least from the waist down!).  My daughter didn’t even have dress shoes since she left college during her spring break, unprepared to come home for the…

  • Favor is Deceitful and Beauty is Vain

    “Favor is deceitful, beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.” Proverbs 31:30 As a young church girl, I thought this scripture meant that it was wrong to be beautiful, that I shouldn’t want the favor of anyone, and that I should be afraid of God. Wow was I off! Many other…

    Favor is Deceitful – 3 Reasons Why

    In honor of all the moms who have ever had a child turn on them and say, “I hate you!” I dedicate this blog to you. God’s Word  is a lot like a fire hydrant: far more powerful than a refreshing drink of water. Perhaps this is what Jesus was alluding to when He told…
