Getting the position at The Blue Dress Barn

I answered an add that was posted inquiring for an event manager at the barn in the month of August last year. The response was not what I was hoping for. Since the summer wedding season was half over the owner responded asking for me to get back with her the following spring. So , I continued with my job at school , but constantly thought and dreamed about making a course correction towards pursuing something that had been on my bucket list for some time. As a mother of four my life has been navigated around my husband and children for many years. No regret.....just thankfulness to be able to keep my priorities centered around what I believe has been a God honoring life without remiss. I owned a hair salon and worked successfully for several years as a hairdresser and then making the decision to focus solely on being at home full time for several more years while the kids were little.After a big move from Seattle Washington back to Michigan , where both my husband and myself had grown up, I settled in to the role as full time homemaker( I like to think of my role as " keeper of the flame")! After several seasons of this I began working part time at the local elementary as a para pro working with targeted delay readers. And..... fast forward ....this had been my work experience to date....until now. So, I said all that , to say all this..... the things that I have been busy " doing" all of these years have led me on a road of discovery! I understand alot about who I am and how God has gifted me, and how my life's journey has rewarded me with invaluable tools to equip me for this new venture as a manager at this marvelous wedding venue called The Blue Dress Barn! My passions have been poured in to our family, guiding young lives along a path of self discovery! Decoded, that means that a common goal of both my husband and myself has encompassed teaching and nurturing our children through many of lifes challenges that hopefully will be a beacon of support to them on their own journey through life. What I have learned along the way is that I love showing hospitality to others, am able to empathize with others, accurately read people, able to efficiently handle tasks set before me, laugh .....a lot and, put others before myself. God has a plan for my life ,of this I am most sure ,and He has given great grace to me with a lot of assurance that for this new season in my life I can move forward and continue to bless others and learn still even more about myself! So, here we go!
