Purple Cow

This cow would stand out. You would spot it out of all the brown cows. Their titles are the same, but the purple one would be "remarkable" to look at. I have decided that I no longer want to be told, “You intimidate them, Nadine! They feel uncomfortable around you.” In a competitive field there are some people who may feel that way around you. Please don't take it personally and don’t “dim” your God-given light. Keep shining and stay humble. After all, You must be a Purple Cow, too, and that simply means You are REMARKABLE. This book is a GREAT read. Someone bought it for me and, in turn, I bought 5 for others!

Every time I have gone, I have struggled with: 1) the inability to cut my hair evenly and 2) a recommendation of a product that is sold in their salon. I have spent so much money on salon products that would supposedly make my hair less frizzy, protect my hair from the heating products, and make my scalp smell good. Before coming to you, I was straightening my hair with a flat iron at the beginning of the week. After about 2 days, my scalp would stink, so I would wash my hair and then wear it up, curly, for the next week. Then I would repeat the process. When I came in to see you, I was prepared to have a nice hair cut and relaxing day. I was not prepared for a...
