Cutting a path to success
Cutting a path to success For as long as I can remember I have wanted to forge ways to use my creativity as a means to support my lifestyle. At every turn of that journey, scissors have been a necessary tool for my life. I don’t think I can recall my very first time using a pair of scissors but I distinctly remember them always being ready for whatever life threw at me that needed cutting. If you were born in the last 40 years like me, you probably had one of your first experiences cutting with safety scissors. One of my most distinct memories as a child goes back to making hearts with safety scissors from construction paper. However, as I grew I began to discover the wonders of what could be created from these two sharp pieces of metal beyond the scope of paper hearts.

Planting Roots
As I loaded my last bag in the car, I looked back one last time up the driveway almost as to take a mental picture. The feeling of gratitude came rushing over, like a fresh breeze on a hot summer day. I had long envisioned this moment of departure from my childhood home. It was hardly the first time I left, but this time I made a definitive decision to make it my last. This moment feels bitter sweet, quite like the fruit of the pear tree that falls from the branches creeping over from the next yard. There is a small fear tingling inside that something will drag me back again, but it is silenced as soon as the car pulls off.
