Last year on August 1st I was on my family vacation with my husband and two sons in Bermuda. It amazes me that it has been exactly one year since our annual family vacation. This August 1st, I am writing from West Palm Beach, Florida with my two sons, Christian and Silas. We are spending a few days where my sister Linda resides. I enjoy spending quality time on my vacation reflecting on past events and practicing prayer for wonderful memories to follow.
Today, I remember my Mother. This August 5th marks 21 years since she entered Heaven. It is amazing how quickly the time has passed, but also astounds me how much has been accomplished and the generations that have been grown throughout the years.
In my July newsletter, I remarked about how I was only six months pregnant with my oldest son Christian when my Mother passed. It astonishes me that my baby will be 21 years old this October! Wow! Christian was only 1 and a half when I opened Allure Spa! This April, marks 20 years in business for Allure Spa! It has been such a blessing to watch my son grow throughout the years. It has also been such a blessing to see clients that we have been servicing at Allure Spa since we have opened our doors and to watch their children grow and see them become parents over the years. It stands true that different generations appear to bless us with their gifts in different ways.
One family that comes to mind are the McDonough family who we have been providing services to at Allure Spa for many years. I remember Diane bringing her little girls to visit and spend time with us at the Salon. One of her little girls has grown and is now a Sophomore in High School. This beautiful young woman, Grace, now works at Allure Spa as an assistant. We enjoy seeing her grow as we guide her with work experience while in her High School years!
I often feel that Allure Spa has always been known to attract families as clients. I truly believe this is a result of having a staff that resembles a close knit family. Many clients comment to me on how funny the staff teases each other, and supports one another while servicing and showing clients love within their workplace. We have truly always remained such a TEAM through it all. I am so thankful to share my Allure Spa family with your families throughout the years!
I hope you all find reflection on such a beautiful summer and are able to experience a stress-free back-to-school experience this month!
Thank You!
