The Fresh Perspective...

Birthday post!

TEN YEARS! Whoo-hoo! My fist thought, is I’m so happy we made it here! There were a few times during this journey I thought I wouldn’t be able to see the light but here I am! Here we are! Many changes have happened to our little hop from that first February in 2010 to now!

We started out with 4 cutting chairs and now have grown to 8. We started out with an vision for eco awareness and now are trendsetting in this area. We hope that through all of the changes, you our valued client, still gets the same great feeling when you come to our shop for a service.

During these ten years, I have grown so much and have developed so much as a business owner and I hope the education I have taken up to this point will allow me to be able to still be here for ten more years. I’d like to thank each and every staff member of the team from then to now. All of your efforts have brought us here. All of my clients that followed me from Society and the new ones I found from being on Academy, Thank you!

Today is our last day of work and then we're off to holiday bliss!  We are excited, and quite deserving, of the next ten days.  Thanks to all of our clients.  It's all of you that make our jobs that much more incredible.  You guys, in your own way, bring us joy and happiness.  Not every time you come in its perfect, but you are grateful and we are appreciative.

I've been in this business for over 10 years!  That is incredible to me!  From all my clients who have grown with me, to all the fresh clients from Academy Road, my gratitude is immeasurable and completely genuine.  It is all for you and we are all grateful.  I don't think that you, the client, gets enough recognition.

As the year comes to an end, we are forced to reflect on the past months and I haven't praised you enough!  I know many business have a 'client appreciation day' or a loyalty type thing going... We don't have that, but what we do have is our love, thanks and adoration (should we get that client loyalty thing?)...  You guys are one in a million and we love you very much.  You know who you are! :)

That's the fresh perspective...  See you next year!

WE'RE THREE!! I cannot believe it's been three years!  Wow!  I just want to thank everyone!  From all the staff at the shop, to all the clients that keep us coming back everyday, thanks.  I'd like to thank the bakers who make us treats, and the suppliers who bring us products.  Much gratitude to my family and my good friends.  All of our Academy neighbors should be thanked for making us feel so welcomed in the area.

I know this sounds like an acceptance speech but I don't care.  We rarely take the time to thank people and really let them know how we really feel.  This blog has been going strong for three years and I can't even begin to thank all you loyal blog followers.  Through all the shop changes, you have all been here.  Even you new followers, thanks to you as well!  Here's to many, many more!

WHO'S ON YOUR TEAM? Being that it is the New Year, we all take the time to reflect.  We reflect on our weight, we reflect on our love lives, we reflect on our families and friends.  Basically, now is when we attempt to give our lives a total over-haul.

All of this New Year's stuff got me to thinking about my friends, or more-so, the ladies in my life.  I am very fortunate (some may say I'm lucky) to come to work every day and spend time with the gals on my team.  It's no secret that I love sports because I think it mirrors so many parts and aspects of life.  Winning and/or losing.  Practices, coaches, and meetings... The success or failure of teams strictly rely on the players, or the group that the team consists of.

Chloe Hodgson, Andrée Lavergne, Pascale Forest-Axford, Renée Girard, Amy Zacharias, Rochelle Senior and Christie Peters (in no particular order) play on my team and I think we have the best starting line-up.  I'm of course biased, but if any of you got to spend time with any of these women you would be changed.  They all have an easy ability to be themselves and appreciate it.  They all have a sense of what it means to be a part of something. They all know the meaning of love.  They all have been to work with little to no make-up on...

Without even knowing it, they make me want to be better.  Without even knowing it, they make me believe that I am already a part of something.  Without even knowing it, they have softened my heart.  They know now.

Who's on your team?  Do the people that surround you daily, have a way of making you see that there is beauty around, always?  Do the people you hold close have a way of making you stand up? Tall?  Do the people you love know that you love them...?

While you're evaluating how many pounds to lose, or how you can be more efficient, ask yourself...  That's the fresh perspective...

Team Freshair, you are loved.
