Blessings come in many forms for me it came in the form or nail art, alot of people may not know that I bumped into the profession by chance, although its has always been a passion I never thought I would see my self doing it as a career. Ending or 2010 I was a manager for a cell phone company when I had a customer walk in, the first thing I noticed was her nails. So I asked her about them, she kindly told me she was a student in a nail school. So I asked her for the number with no urgent plan on calling (my life was to busy) the end of that year (September) I randomly had a urge to call (I have a feeling it was gods plan) so I called and the next week I was enrolled, I was working 60 hours a week as a store manager and going to school part time , it took me 6 months to graduate :) after that not having any clients I kept my job at the cell phone company just to make sure I would financially be able to support my self, in the meantime I practiced every night to get better, JUNE 2012 my life changed drastically (I got sick) depression, pain, heart issues, breathing issues and much more followed , after seeing multiple doctors and specialists I was labeled with anxiety , no one could tell me what was happening to me, I lost my job,social life, friends, and even my own family stopped having faith in me, everyone concuded I was losing my mind, and no one helped so I took things into my own hands I was not satisfied with the diagnosis given to me so I researched on my own, for months I searched and searched with no success until one day I finally found a condition online I could relate to (POTS Syndrome) after bringing information to the right dr I was tested with positive results, now that I had an answer to my condition! I was no closer to feeling better along with my diagnosis I was also informed there was no cure, it was hard for me to accept I would never have my old life back, it took me a few more months to finally accepted reality but by no means did I accept defeat. I took my illness as fuel and continued to practice, between weakness, pain and tears I made time to perfect my skills as a nail artist, knowing that one day I would have My dreams come true, little by little I started taking customers 1 a day until I was ready for more, as time passed by I realized I was able to forget about my illness and enter a paradise of nail art, today I find mysef still fighting an illness but better than before, somwtimes it gets the best of me but I still keep pushing, I have been doing nails for 2 whole years know and have had great opportunities come my way like, events, music videos, contests, and even chances to work with big names in the industry, i have been blessed with more now than I deserve and am genuinely grateful, even though I took alot of time and dedication somehow god turned my passion into a reality, I am now a wonderful in demand nail artist in my area and I know more is to come for me, I know alot of you believe that my nail art is a talent that I have but I would rather call it a blessing that I was given, :) much love to all ....
