Drama, loss, sorrowโฆ
Some of us have had more share of those in our life-timeโฆ
Some have had more in the last few yearsโฆ
As yet another year-end draws close, Iโm glad that I stayed true to what I set my mind on at the end of last year:
In the coming year, I resort to continue to honor the true beauty
and present fine art
from the day-to-day, the not-so-famous, and the โnormalโ...
We all are not having more time on this planet.
As if the universe heard me, Iโve had the honor of meeting/working with many inspiring mature ladies that have incredible stories to tell and experiences to share.
โLife wonโt waitโ, said yours truly more than 20 years ago.
Today, she says:
Lifeโs too short
to not be yourself at all;
to not be crazy at least once;
and to not be weird all the time! :D
Speaking of weird, I donโt know what goes on my clientsโ mind every time I pull out this gear (the one in my hand in the image above).
For those thatโs interested, feel free to look up โbeauty dishโ. To me, if it reflects, comes in the dome shape and produces beauty (images), itโs a beauty dish. And mine is one-of-a-kind. Itโs got the traces of being banged around in the kitchen and carries the patina of seeing through all those yummy food over the years.
I really donโt blame my clients for associating it with the word โkitchenโ. Itโs truly got an origin that belongs there. But itโs also good at, once in a while, doing something thatโs beyond the normal call of duty. It just feels so organic (I think my client Linda knows how it feels :-)) when Iโm being true to my origin (being Asian) and honors all my passions (besides โtransforming womenโ :-), I love food and creative cooking).
For those of you that know me, Iโm not a New Yearโs Resolution kind of person. I follow my guiding poles and wander accordingly.
So now, as we count down to 2023โฆ
I wish you being you (i.e., the true beauty)!
As to me? I will continue wearing my hat (uh-huh, lid, Chinese stir-fry wok lid) of weirdness! :-) Julia Child may even consider it drama done right.
