Today was my first official day on the job! I woke up two hours before I needed to be out the door. I am perpetually late, I was even born 2 weeks late! I am improving. When I turned 25, my goal was to be "on time". During cosmetology school I was late only once, and it wasn't all my fault. . .picture a rain-storm and lots of crazy backed up traffic.
Now that I am 26, my goal is to "be early". Early I was when I arrived at my salon twenty minutes before my day began. I caught my breath, sent a text to my husband letting him know I arrived, and began my day.
A group of us began today. We learned the rules, the goals, our schedules and other details of a first day at any job. My favorite moment of the day was receiving my name-tag. It simply says, "Samantha - Stylist". For whatever reason, when I put that magnetic badge on my lapel, it was the BEST feeling. I smiled on the inside, and probably on the outside too. Although this journey has just begun, I felt like I had made it in that moment. A job, a career, a goal, a mission, a reason for so much. I am fulfilled as a wife, a friend, a sister, a daughter, a neighbor...now I am ready to pursue my opportunity to touch lives, to create, to serve and to rock it!
