A Year I Can’t Forget

What does the New Year mean for you?  Is it just another day on the calendar or does it mark something more significant in the timeline of your life?
I haven’t written much throughout the holidays.  For the first time in my life, New Years did mean a lot to me.  Not just for the holiday or event itself but for what I hoped it would be or do at this moment in my life.  The reason I haven’t written is because I could not quite bring myself to collect my many scattered thoughts.  I had a less than pleasant last quarter to my year.  I would be remiss if I didn’t admit that my issues pale in comparison to all I have to be thankful for.  Even amidst some hard pills I had to swallow and finally deal with in my personal finances, T’eez has flourished and had one of the best years we’ve had in a long time and I’m happy to have gotten through it all and to be where we are now.  But this turned out to be small potatoes as my world was about to be truly rocked.
I previously blogged about the ending of a long relationship I was in.  Pow, right in the teeth.  Not good times.  Perhaps I’ve already written too much about this, so I won’t expound.  But I go on. (more…)

Thank you. I think you’re neat.

I’m not kidding, I really do.  Whether you are a regular client that I see in the salon or one of our online T’eez shoppers from around the country or just a reader of my posts.  I’m thankful for you and you mean a lot to me.  If you come into the salon you probably know I’m not one to touch base with everyone.  I promise I’m not being aloof.  I do care and I see you.  I’m not a natural schmoozer in one on one situations with people I don’t know.  It’s a flaw in this business, I know.  I’m actually more at ease with a roomful, a class or an audience.   I’m sure there’s a psych professional out there that could tell you how screwed up this probably is.

But that’s why I hired Dylan to run the front desk.  He gives more customer service than I’ve ever seen anyone, anywhere give.  It’s just the way he is.  I take no credit except that I was lucky enough to get him to work for us.  I love how he takes care of our clients.  He makes my day every time he sets foot in the salon as I know he does for you.  I’m thankful for Dylan.
