Well I am here in Toronto. I arrived late last night after a relaxing trip on the train. I was by myself for five hours. Thats alot of time to think. I thought about what my client Lucie had said to me just a few hours before that we must live in the present. I agree with her whole heartedly but it is not always easy. I am who I am because of what was before and I am doing what I am doing to get what I am working for. But to live in the now really NOW. I am happy to say that I do it every day. Yes with my chosen career I have no choice. I am a hairstylist. When I am consulting with my clients, looking them in the eye and finding out there likes, dislikes and sharing with them what I recommend, I am very much in the now and it is a very exilerating place to be. As I cut their hair I am 100% present all the minusia of the day at that moment is gone. Once the cut or style is done I get an immediate response. When I see the shine in their eyes that I HEARD them and created the image that they desired I can't tell you how that makes me feel. Well I can try, I would say it is Bliss in the most spiritual sense. There is a connection that is so basic that in its essence is TRUTH. I hope that all hairstylist take advantage of this wonderful career that can only be done in the NOW. Don't be afraid of it embrace it.

One Fine Day

Yesterday, my boss tells me "we're starting a blog."

She gets the craziest ideas sometimes: She's created hairlaces (headbands made from shoelaces that don't pinch or slide), children's storybooks, some kind of special hair elastics... i forget.

She's got enough on her plate as is: She's owner and stylist at her hair salon and spa, a contracted stylist for Chanel at special events like the Toronto Film Festival, professional entrepreneur and inventor of accessories and literature, and etc. as thoughts come...

And now, this blog.

i hope you like it.

love, vic.
