Good Afternoon,Buenas Tardes,Bonne Apres-Midi

 

Jesus doesn't care how many bible verses you have memorized. He cares how you treat people.

Why do women feel the need to bear the most intimate details of their life to their stylist at the hair salon. I can never understand that ( just write a blog and tell the world your secrets I say) Anyway I was sat there last night and my stylist and myself were very intently following the saga this woman was relaying about her boyfriend, some other women and a baby. My stylist doesn't speak very good English yet and I had to explain certain things to her. Then she's shocked people talk in public like that.

I really like my stylist she's a refugee who came here as a young widow with 4 children. She's a cousin of a friend of mine who also came as a refugee 19 years ago. My friend told me her cousin couldn't get clients because no one would book with her because she couldn't speak English. So I booked and just let her do her thing with my hair. I love that she always changes it up every time I go there. She has a number of clients now. Once people saw how good her work was they overlooked the language barrier. All she needed was a chance to show her talents.  

   I've lived in many different countries lots of them didn't speak English. I never found it a problem communicating. You just need to make an effort. I learnt to speak simple sentences in their language and pointing and gestures are very useful . I'm a naturally very friendly person and always happy. Always something in life to smile about. So, people it seems are always drawn to me. They find me approachable. Sometimes though men do misinterpret my friendliness as being a sign I'm interested in them. Luckily over the years I've developed ways to deal with it. That allows them to get out of the awkward situation with ego intact.
