Another day another.....eight hours to my 1500!

First of all, I want to apologize for the weird photobucket box. I don't know why it's there, and I write my posts from my phone, so I'll have to wait to fix it.
So I spent a good hour on my monday off brainstorming about my makeup classes, and I have spent a week now picking other peoples' brains about starting in this industry and how to start my way specifically.
My heart is to be an entrepreneur. I caught that bug from my dad. He had business ventures of varying kinds and at various points in his life from Baker Automotive in the early 80's to Chattanooga Websites - his last brainchild to provide his family with the realization of our dreams.
"Friends are kind to each others' hopes. They cherish each others' dreams" - Thoreou.
Both my parents were true friends to me. "Mom! I'm gonna make friendship bracelets for all the girls going to camp so we can look down at ' em and not feel homesick!" "Oh. Ok. That sounds really nice, Sarah." Or coming to watch me perform in the school choir.....4 bazillion times. Those dumb bracelets were not the source of comfort I intended, and I know my parents got sick of choir performances at which they probably couldnt even hear me.....but they knew it was shaping me
.....they knew I was dreaming....and they were so kind to it. We use the word support nowadays, but it's really just kindness, isn't it?
So I'm dreaming again. I'm planning now in what I hope is a complete way which separates this from my childhood shenanigans, but I am awfully nervous. I know what true criticism and cruel judgement feel like now. But I'll continue, because I have a dream, and I have just a few friends. We travel some of this journey together and some of it apart, but we know each others' kindness, and it propels us on to the wonderment of dreams that come true.
Question of the day: Are you kind enough to others' dreams to truly call yourself their friend?

Here it is!!!

So my dream is this: I want to teach people how to be beautiful - what to do with the menagerie of products on the market, product reviews and lessons on how to do things like the smokey eye, the "bump" and how to make beautimous curls with a flat iron. These are questions that I am asked several times a week, and I cannot address them individually. I don't have time, and most inquirers won't set aside the time unless they're "forced" to. So I want to invite up to 10 people at a time to watch some demos and ask some questions and go home feeling like they know how to get pretty with mostly the tools they already have.
I will continue to cut, color and style hair and makeup application too.
I'm writing things out right now to have a good plan, so we'll see!!!!
Do you have some friends you want to invite to read my blog? If you read it, give me a comment and tell me what you think!

Dream a dream

I'm dreaming a dream right now. It's in the works in my head. I can't tell you about it yet. I want to see if I can actually accomplish it. I'll update later.
