Setting the Stage

In August of 2018 was the first time I stepped on stage as a platform artist at a major hair show.  I was extremely nervous and all I could think about was how well would I do and how would my audience receive me?  There is great significance behind this.  The beginning of 2017, being a platform artist was not on my list of things to do.  In fact I could be quoted saying that I never want to be a platform artist, I just want to educate in small settings.  

Sometimes I wonder why "we" create our own agendas.  Experience should have taught us God has an ultimate plan for us and it is his will.  After watching someone's live video on Facebook, it was then I realized that I didn't want to become a platform artist because I was afraid of the unknown.  I wasn't confident in myself and I didn't believe that I was good enough or that my skill set was strong enough to be amongst peers who graced that stage.

God has a funny way of making you swallow your words, so Never say Never.  The one thing that I thought I would never do became my biggest passion.  I felt like my self and in my element being on that stage.  All those years of teaching bears and dolls and in my childhood days have payed off.  At the time,  I thought that it was just something that kids do not knowing that the desire was already placed in me, it just needed to nurtured and cultivated.

Through this past year I have truly embraced me and become happy with who I have shifted into. It took a lot of questioning, my thoughts and facing my self in the mirror.  I had to come to terms with myself and be real by acknowledging the faults that were in me and facing them head on.  If we don't bring the issue to surface, then how can we address or change them.  The majority of people don't like looking at the (wo)man in the mirror because they are not sure they can handle what they will see or who they have to fave who they really are.

I can't wait to see what the next year will hold for me.  So far so good its looking pretty bright.  So if you are one of those people who like try and dim someone lights because its too bright for you, I suggest you go and get a pair os shades to shield your eyes.  This light is is bright and will remain to get brighter.
