Never too late

I’ve been a hairdresser all my life. I moved from the US to Canada to get married to. Canadian. I quit my job, and left my support network behind just to find out my fiancé didn’t want to go thru with the marriage. I couldn’t afford to move back home right away so I buckled down and worked. Some years later, I met a man, got married and had a daughter. While she was at home, I took classes and became a master gardener and landscape designer. I designed and built a community garden, and ran it for a number of years. Then I stepped back and designed my daughters school courtyard with the input from ALL the kids of her grade.we got close to $100,000 in grant money and made the kids dreams come true. Now I design and revamp people’s yards. I am so passionate about it and because of that fact I’m really good at it. I finally know what it feels like to never work a day in your life when you love what you do. The moral of the story is……it’s never too late to find your passion! I found mine in my 50’s
