I know I have been quiet for awhile…and for that I am sorry. However, it does not mean that I haven’t been thinking or that things haven’t been happening. Life is happening…life is continuing to change and to mold itself into something new. As you know, July 25th brought with it many emotions and an end to a chapter of my life. I posted on Facebook to share with family and friends that a new chapter begun on August 26th. I accepted a part-time position with Maurices. A company that I had shared time with years ago and now get to join up with once again to set out on a new journey. I have recently spoken to a few friends who have asked how things were going…realizing that I have yet to share my news on the blog and also realizing that I have been quite…I felt that I was long over due for some sharing.
Let me start out be saying that my already short time with Maurices has been a blessing. I am overwhelmed with the positive energy that this position has brought into my life. I find myself dressing up…I actually have worn heels…twice! It’s hard to explain but it’s one of those…I feel like I am in the right place at the right time kinda things. I honestly am excited for my future once again…I am tapping into my creative mind every time I go into the store, I get to have fun sharing new fashion trends with our customers, I get to dress up, take photos, and model new trends to help promote sales! Shopping is something that I enjoy doing…fashion is something that I have only enjoyed for the past handful of years…and now I get to spend a few hours a week doing something that I truly enjoy…something that is sparking my creativity. I look forward to picking out my outfits for my shifts. I look forward to taking photos of our stylists for social media. I also look forward to being photographed for social media. I am overwhelmed with emotion…all the good feels in regards to Maurices.
Besides working a few hours with Maurices…and to be honest it doesn’t feel like work so that is also a win win…I have also been utilizing my photography skills outside of the store and have been working on a side project for my father-in-law. I will also be stepping foot back into the arena of newborn photography this coming weekend with the arrival of a close friends bundle of joy. Nervous you ask…yes…yes I am. But it’s a nervous excited kinda thing. Not only am I creating magic again behind the camera but I have been tapping into my crafting side as well. I bought a Cricut and have been enjoying the therapeutic qualities it brings to my life. Creating…crafting…coloring outside of the lines…all things that I have loved doing for many years but let become dormant inside of me…all are surfacing and I couldn’t be more blessed or grateful for these opportunities.
I have my son to thank, for had it not been for him…none of this would have happened. He is leading the way…he is my inspiration…
We love you!
