Things I have learned since moving to Florida in a 55 and older community: No matter how much you clean, if you have the windows open.....you have dust. Dehydration happens quickly-Drink your water! Living around older people doesn't make me feel older, it's actually making me feel younger and I'm learning soooooo much!!!! Sand fits in every crevice and sticks to unexpected things. It's really tough finding a job. Seasonal work is the opposite of northern states. Work that you'd expect to be able to do, isn't needed or in demand. And my biggest lesson......? There are clients that are irreplaceable like; I have not met and probably never will meet, another Fred Dannhauser with his quick witt, smartallic comments and never-ending antics. I have never found another set of three sisters like Amy Bialecki , Lori Wheeler, or Stephanie Vollmar who I've related to more than others and had great conversations with. Or Karen Smith, who became my mentor and a close friend that I know I can always count on. And Carol Schneider who helped put God back into my life. Brianne Freeman who loved to hear my gossip, shared some gossip she had and brought friends in to help build my clientele. And please let's not forget to mention Nadia White and how she STILL keeps me on my toes, even when I'm not there anymore. Clients like April Maier, Cathy Cook, Marie Douglass, Stacie Brooke, and Stephanie White, who started as clients and quickly became friends. And people like Hope Rene Mazey who happily came back into my life due to massage. Kevin Fink, I don't think that man knows how to frown and always has a kind word for everyone. And of course, Crystal Crystal Light Wagner, (this girl makes amazing things!) the Martha Stewart we all long to be. Kwasi O'Botang a smile that doesn't quit and a heart that shines like the sun. These people are irreplaceable and if you are lucky enough to meet someone like them, or you win the friend lottery and you actually meet the above mentioned, keep them!! Hang onto them because they're absolutely amazing clients, people, friends and family β€οΈ Thank you all for making my massage journey in Ohio easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy!!! I appreciate and miss you all πβ€οΈπβ€οΈπ
