Symbolic

This is a good way to start off...

A few weeks ago when I walked out of the Salon and stepped into the parking lot, I had what I think Oprah might call a, "light bulb moment". In my right hand was my work bag; complete with shears, flat iron, clippers and miscellaneous products. Over my left shoulder was my backpack, with my notebook full of the stories I had written. I then realized what I must have looked like to the people driving past. I continued on contently towards my car, weighed down with my two passions: the old one and the new. I smiled proudly to myself, because in that moment my outward appearance -lugging those two mismatched bags- was a perfect symbol of my inner spirit.
