A Daring Decision and My Determination to Succeed

Challenge yourself to make life beautiful

I remember walking into the esthetics classroom at the age of thirty-five. There I was, finally getting my chance for a post-secondary education- which felt like a dream come true. 


Was it what I envisioned when I was eighteen, to be an esthetician? No, it wasn’t. Plus, the in-between years had been full of self-doubt, missteps and wondering if I would ever find my way. 


But, I challenged myself that first day, I would finish the top of my class and make something of this decision. I considered it the first step towards what could be the fulfillment of my dreams. I knew I could do it. No matter what obstacles presented themselves I would find my way forward, and that gave me some inner peace.


And you know what? I finished top of my class, obstacles and all. I felt the transformation in my body. This transformation gave me the courage to take my next steps and all the steps since then towards greater fulfillment.
