Blog needs a facelift!!!

Good morning!!!
As you can see from the blog it is undergoing some changes! A little face life if you will!
But for some reason, I am having a very difficult time getting the new template in place, sooooooo if anyone is template blogger savy, I would LOVE for you to meet up with me at the salon and help me!! It could be really FUN!! And I make the best coffee!!
So lots and lots going on at the salon! Not to mention at the boutique and the art studio!
God has been so GRACIOUS and we are expanding and growing, not in a prideful way but in a very HUMBELING way.
For the first time in my life I feel like I am exactly where I am supposed to be, doing what I was called to do, CREATED for! Finding my PURPOSE in this life has opened my heart in so many ways, I can't even begin to explain!
Yes, I find purpose in being a Mom, I LOVE my girls more than anything, I LOVE being a wife, and a friend! I find so much JOY in being a hair stylist and cultivating all these BEAUTIFUL relationships, but this is different, it's all coming together, like the threads of a quilt. all woven together to create this beautiful tapestry! And more than anything it's humbeling, that God would give me these DESIRES of my heart and fullfill them. Not that it's been an easy road, it's been alot of sleepless nights, nights away from the people I love,alot of PRAYERS, answered and not answered, questions , doubts, and fear.
Fear of failing, fear of not being good enough, fear of not meeting everyones expectations.
But I realize I can't meet everyones expectations, I can't please all people, I will let people down ,and I will make mistakes. and you know what? That's ok!
I'm just one person, and in the end what matters most is that I gave it my best shot, I followed the call of God on my life. And that's an AWESOME feeling!
I have done none of this on my own, I couldn't.
This has been more than opening just another salon in town, this has been a walk of faith.Psalm 119 I think I couldv'e written, but verse  105 
Your word is a lamp for my feet,
    a light on my path.

These words have carried me. even though I know I'm following the call on my life, as I mentioned it hasn't all been easy. So many times I cried out to God asking Him if I heard him right and if I did why has it been so difficult!
I feel like this light to my path is a tiny little LED key chain light, I NEED a flood light! I need to know for sure and to see. But He wants me to walk by faith and is giving me just enough light for each step.
A few days after I shared this with some close friends I went to a buisness expo and a booth was handing out LED keychain lights! My heart lept out of my chest, to me it was confirmation.
So if you dare, emabark upon this journey with me at the salon the boutique and in the art studio. And if it isn't for you I know you will find the place your heart is yearning for.
Thank you for all of your support, encouragemnet and referrals! This place is even more wonderful because of everyone of you who have stepped in those doors!
I will get the facelift finished and after that continue to get back to regular blogs!
Have a fantastic day!
Blessings, Destiny
