Hi Everyone, as you know my name is Katrina MacPherson and this page is About Me…….

Well what can I say…..Let me start by saying, my life hasn’t been perfect. As a matter of fact,  I came from a broken home, and while things we’re tough at times, I’m glad I have great parents that I love, and I know love me. I have a brother named Shane, and even though we grew up in different homes, we saw each other all the time, and are very close even to this day. I was not your typical straight A student, I had my struggles but still did OK. I did not graduate high school, but did attend hairdressing school and am still a hairstylist today 18 yrs later.

I am a mother of 2 beautiful daughters and am still in a loving relationship of 11 yrs with their father, Dino….Who by the way, is an incredible hunk of a man….Yummie!!!!

We have a little Yorkie pup named Max and a fish named Ruby….Max and Ruby.da da da da da da..LOL..Some of you are just shaking your heads right now, wondering what that meant, but then there are a few of you “Parents” that know exactly what I’m talking about.

Anyways, Back to me. So here’s the short of it……

One day, very recently actually, I woke up and I felt like something was missing in my life….

You know that feeling deep down in your gut, when you’re somehow not complete?

You would think I would be happy if you knew where I came from….seeing that I live in a home worth nearly half a million dollars, and I have  a ton of beautiful things to call my own, don’t really lack for much come to think of it, and most of it, is more than I could ever dream of.

But… I got to thinking, as to why I felt that something was missing, and I began to ask myself ….

What’s missing?…..Why am I feeling this way?….

I have a wonderful family , a beautiful home,and you would think all my dreams had come true….But it didn’t feel that way, and I struggled with this for days.

And then one day, it hit me, and I had one of those “Ah  Ha” moments….

Here it is…..

Your life is not made up of the things you have, but more so of the struggles and victories you have within it….

You see… If  life was easy…what joy would that be?

Everything would just come naturally, and you wouldn’t get a sense of accomplishment.

So if you’re out there right now  and listening…..Listen up!!!!!

Bad time’s are good for you!

I know it doesn’t seem like it when you’re in them, but they make you step up to the plate.

You see when I was in high school, I took the easy way out, when thing’s got tough I bailed.

Do I regret it?

There’s a huge part that does, because if you leave thing’s unfinished, you will always wonder….

Where would I be today?…and

What kind of  job would I  have today?

What would my life look like, if I had made another choice?

Now don’t get me wrong…..I was very fortunate to pick something I love, even to this day.

I’m not only someone that does your hair, but I also listen to people.

To their  joy’s, and in their struggles, and when someone  is having a bad day, I sympathize, and I understand, because my life is far from perfect too.

So where am I going with all this?

I will put it as simple as I possibly can.

I think we all reach a point in our lives, call it mid- life crisis, call it whatever you want, it’s a time when we come to a realization, that we may have missed out on something…

And then, we fight to regain a sense of time that was lost. But I have great news!!

Life can begin at any moment, and on any given day. That’s right….

Start over, wherever you stand….It’s not only possible, it is highly probable if you Believe….

Just remember to never lose hope, and never stop dreaming, because those actions will deprive you of what you truly desire…To LIVE!!! and I mean to it’s Fullest potential!!

So in 2010, I made a personal commitment to myself, that I would start dreaming again….that I would shoot for the stars…. that I would set NEW goals…. and that I would reach those goals, even if it killed me, because the worst thing that could come out of  it, is that I didn’t reach my goals , and that I fell short of the mark so to speak…, But there is one thing, that no one can take from me, and that is that ……

I can feel proud that I gave it my all, and this time, I didn’t bail!

So if there is anything I would wish for anyone reading this right now, is that you do yourself a favor.

DON’T stop dreaming !….and let this be the year, that you take a second look at your life, and if you’re lacking something within it, stand up, and make a commitment to do something about it!

The first step in changing one’s life, is to come to a realization that you’re still alive….

and the second step, is to make that Life a reality!!

I wish you the very best….and I hope all your dreams come true!

And if somehow I had a small part in that, I would just like to Thank you in advance, for giving me that opportunity. You don’t know how much those little things we take for granted, are the very things that give us the most pleasure. Thank you for your time…Take care
