From the USPS to Alaska

From the USPS postal supervisor to an interior designer in Alaska.

I find it ironic that on my last day in Alaska, Facebook reminded that on that very day 7 years ago I had just started training to become a supervisor. I began to cry because I thought that I would never leave that place. I thought I was going to be one of those disgruntled employees for the rest of my life. But Jeremiah 29:11 tells me the plans that he has for me are great. I started believing that and putting in the work so that wouldn’t be my story.

Before I quit the post office, I used to have amazing weekends and on Monday I would cry my eyes out in the parking lot. I didn’t want to go inside and I couldn’t believe that this was it for me. This time I cried because he heard my cries and prayers and showed me that I’m capable of more. I prayed for an extraordinary life.

I want to wake up and not always know what the day will bring. When my client mentioned to me almost a year ago about coming to Alaska? My response was “Tell me when and I’m there”.

I’ve been asked a few times why? My response is WHY NOT? I was put here to design and I want to do it everywhere. When the end comes for me I want to know that I’ve done everything I dreamed of. We get one life and I don’t want to waste it. It’s almost one year of being a full time entrepreneur and this is the best decision that I’ve made so far. People thought I was crazy, but they weren’t given my vision. I’ll keep saying this, if you take nothing else from me and my journey give it all you’ve got! We are here to do great things.
