A Sweet Thought from my Trilingual Manicurist!
When I went in to get a mani/pedi at VT Nails (which has the best ones in town) I sat down in the chair and somehow she noticed in English that my phone battery was low so she asked if I needed to charge it while I was here--well, that put me in an immediate good frame of mind! So then I noticed when she answered her phone she was talking in Spanish--unusual at a nail place--and started telling me about her sick baby--then she starts to talk in Vietnamese to the other manicurist! So I asked her how many languages did she speak and I was floored to find out she was tri-lingual--I thought that might me a pretty good marketable skill so I asked her if she ever thought of going to work for the police dept or hospital who desperately need translators. She said no and that she loves the nail business--she offered that she often went to the doctor, etc w/friends who needed a translator and they would offer to pay and she said she wouldn't take any money as it was her gift to have her child and unborn baby to be blessed. I was simply struck by that conversation and love she had. She went on to say that money comes and goes but gifts and blessings you will always have. I feel the need to share that message from her.
