I can still picture this visual so clearly… 14 years ago my parents dropped me at the LAX terminal, smoking a ciggy, with a one way ticket, one suitcase and approx $300 in my bank account…..I was headed to New York City with one goal in mind…to “make it.” I didn’t have a place to live yet and had a freelance event planning job for luxury hotels. I quickly knew I would need to find a more stable option so I went back to my roots of hotel operations. From Park Ave to SoHo, Gramercy and Meatpacking - I worked at some of the worlds most coveted hotels. I climbed the ladder being one of the few young women to excel in a male dominated industry. This time of year always gives me an opportunity to look back at those years with gratitude. So many amazing people (you know who you are!) stepped in to take care of me, guide me and encourage me. I wouldn’t be who I am without those experiences AND I’m so glad I’ve completely evolved from those days too (and kicked the ciggy’s too ;) Everything I’ve ever desired, I’ve manifested. I’ve set intentions and taken aligned action. Taking a deep breath and feeling into all the impactful moments that have brought me to the present moment. Encouraging you to look back at your journey with gratitude - there are always lessons available. #hotelier #leadyourself #intentional #createyourlife
If you can "make it" there... Sometimes I think nobody cares what I have persevered through and then I read something like this and it reminds me how inspiring it is to read it about somebody else! Thank you for sharing!!!
Proud of you!
