Awesome, Beautiful and Creative

ABC....Awesome, Beautiful and Creative....

Yesterday as I went to my hairdresser, Kelly Jo, for
my usual 'recycle' treatment....
I was reminded anew of the 'unlikely hero's' that surround
the every day events of my life....
Kelly Jo is certainly one of those individuals......
Years ago I was blessed by being referred to her by my
hairdresser who was leaving my current salon....
Jeanette told me...."Kelly Jo is the one you want...she
thinks like me, creatively"...
That was certainly an understatement!
I 'followed' Kelly through several other places, always
telling her that she 'needed her own salon'....she was
'too good to be making so much money for 'other people'..."
Finally, finally, she 'bit the bullet' so to speak and ventured
out on her own....
She opened up a small salon and named it "Creative Touches"...
I was so proud of her...and pleased by the results of
her hard work....in fact, the phrase, 'Hard Work' does
not even remotely describe Kelly Jo....
Work, her creative work, is what she lives, breathes and....
spends her life for all the time...
Yesterday she said that she actually 'loves going to work'...
that for over 20 years she still can't wait to start her day 'at work'....
Kelly Jo simply lives her art and is in all sense....an artist...
creating something beautiful with
the works of her hands from the inspiration of her mind
that thinks.....beauty....
Actually, she transfers her 'beauty thinking' to other areas
of her life as well...
Yesterday she began her 6:00 a.m day by watering
her 'new sod' lawn, which she had laid herself after
working all day on a wedding....
she created a pond, with lights around for 'night beauty' and
told me proudly..."I've got the best looking yard in
my neighborhood!"
Doesn't surprise me in the least....
she transforms everything she touches....
reflects her success in life....
Kelly Jo now specializes in weddings...in addition to her
daily salon activities.
Therefore, she is busy ALL THE TIME...
her clientele love her ...
But she does not know the meaning of the word 'vacation'...
serving others with her 'gift' is what she calls....FUN!
What a rare, unique and beautiful individual
is my friend, Kelly Jo....
She enhances the lives she touches in a natural way with her gift
and makes the world a better and more beautiful place
for others....
Kelly Jo is a complete success...as a human being!
