Back to my old self and my love of editorial makeups tonight! I did something rather difficult today (rather grown up if I do say so myself). I gave up an opportunity because I was under qualified. I knew I was under qualified and that my skills are not what they need to be in order to complete the project timely and with precision. That in itself is a big step for me. I don't like to say no nor do I like to quit. Anything. Ever. I'm stubborn. Blame my Irish roots, blame my single mother for raising me to be a strong independent woman, blame the voice in my head telling me I can do this. Whomever you choose to blame for my stubbornness it all boils down to the fact that today I ignored it and was professional about the whole thing. I let it go with grace. I learned to say no today. Small steps.
I might add that as a reward I got a mani/pedi with my momma and a friend and then promptly dropped half my paycheck on a rockin' leather jacket (happy early birthday to me). Awesome. Now on to the makeup!
