Watching Women Succeed
I have loved watching women succeed in the grooming industry. I have watched them follow their dreams and go to grooming school, build and open their own shop, buy mobile vans, and start new businesses. I’ve met very smart, talented, and funny women. Through them I have learned the meaning of friendship.
I am proud to know so many women that work for good causes, who support and help others, who educate, who sacrifice, who understand the meaning of respect and trust. I have been to many different places and met many people since I became a groomer. I’ve watched people grow. I’ve seen many changes, even in myself.
I know I’m supposed to be writing about mobile grooming but sometimes I get philosophical. I like to spend time thinking and using my imagination. Perhaps that is one reason I love grooming and writing. I have a blog that gives me the opportunity to write about grooming and my experiences. Then, I can creatively focus on the task at hand during my workday, brushing and trimming that sweet puppy that is giving me kisses on my grooming table. I know I could never sit behind a desk, surrounded by paper, answering phones. There is something magical and addictive about grooming. I can’t deny it. It’s part of my soul.
Success can be measured in many ways. Success can be attending your first grooming show, making bows, finding a forever home for a homeless pet, volunteering at a shelter, fostering a mommy cat and her kitties or making a new best-friend in the grooming industry. It doesn’t matter how old you are or where you live or how many years you’ve been grooming. It’s about the big picture. I’ve seen many in the grooming industry start from scratch, reinvent themselves, create new lives, expand their lives, have babies, get married, move, but our topic is always about grooming. We all stick together under the same umbrella.
