I got the message late Christmas Eve night saying "HELP".
After reading the message I told myself that I would get back to the sender in the morning which would be in the next 6 hours since I had just retired to bed after prepping all the meat for our Christmas dinner.
They were in need of a makeup artist for a Christmas day anniversary/wedding. HUH??? You heard me! Well, after getting all the details and checking the time frame I realize that I was able to do the job and be back home in time to start frying my fish... and so my answer was YES!
I could literally hear the sigh on the other side of the text message ☺
I finally got to the hotel and I met the bride-to-be-again. YES again... she was celebrating 25 Years of Marriage and seemingly very ecstatic to recommit to the same man all over again. INSPIRATION AT ITS BEST!
Having done so many brides before, this one seemed to have such a sense of calm, confidence and assurance... well, after 25 years what else do you expect? My job was going to be easy. I'm sure she had all the attributes that has this man wanting for more, but looking at the outward appearance it was a given... she was simply beautiful!
I was impressed with her demeanor and she allowed to do whatever I wanted to her canvas. I placed my brushes on her canvas and they seemed to dance with grace as they knew they were being applied to no ordinary face... but one with a history of love & the core of what a marriage represents.
Via my fingers I telepathically whispered to my brushes, "Dance brushes, dance... capture the story with your bristles and make your imprint on her as she has made on me. Tell me her marriage ingredients which she so gracefully wears in the contours of her face, through the twinkle in her eyes & the smile formed on her lips... dance brushes, dance..."
And so they did!
Mrs. Nancy Clalixte, I thank you for sharing a brief moment of your beautiful life with me... Congratulation on 25 years of marriage. You are a great example of the fact that Marriage is a GREAT thing and IT CAN WORK!
May God bless you and your husband with another 25 years... Live, Love & Laugh!
Until next time,
Happy Dollifying ☺
