Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my distinct privilege to present:
Alexa Chelta Brown
Take a peek, Yep.... Little Lexi Lu has gotten all grown up and is about to launch her new career as a flight attendant for Delta. Tomorrow she leaves for Atlanta, GA for some heavy duty training for about 2 months. She is ready to rumble into her next adventure.
This will be the first time she has truly left home. She has traveled the world but this is a bit different. This isn't just about a fun trip, no, this is about her career. Serious business, no?
As I thought of a good title for this post, this one kept coming to me. I couldn't think of a more fitting statement to title this post. She is no longer little and has far outgrown the cute nickname of earlier years....
She has always been a force to be reckoned with but now, she is now more armed and ready then ever as she recently just paid dearly for about 7 years of life experience squeezed into about 1.5 years. Things that would have knocked most onto their back side not wanting to get up, she basically brushed her self off, looked up and outward and resolutely took major steps forward as if nothing had happened at all. She has taught us all a great lesson in how to take a lump, swallow hard no matter how jagged the pill, and then to straighten up and take life on with style and grace.
She has been through refining fire and has come out with more red in her hair, deep resolve, stronger resilience, a bigger heart and confidence that is scary strong.
Case in point, you know those recent posts of terrible passengers that get unruly? Well, let me just say that they will not want to mess with Alexa Chelta Brown.... she has a lion's heart and and tiger's fierceness that will rock you if you dare cross the line..... Yes, she might need a tiny boost pushing someone's overweight bag into the overhead bin, but she will "slice you up and spit you out" in any other category of messing around! There will absolutely no "Mobbing with Mids" in her world. This is why she wears the title so well...anyone who thinks they can get away with anything should be very very afraid.
She will single-handedly make flying safe again for everyone, which is pretty cool considering the quality of passengers these days. We can all take a deep sigh of relief as a result!
We couldn't be more excited for her. I hope you join me in wishing her the very best of success and happiness as she launches and lifts off her new career.
So, Alexa, here you go... Jump forward, spread your wings and soar the skies with all you got girl. You will be so great!
It is both wonderful and terrible to see your youngest grow up so fast.....Terrible, that Little Lexi Lu is gone, but wonderful that she has become what she has -- an amazingly talented woman, with so much heart, potential and power.
As I think ahead and imagine in my mind being on some random flight in the future, and I look up and there she is, pushing the cart down the aisle serving everyone in her super deluxe uniform. My eyes will definitely will well up and I can feel that ol' throat thing happening for sure....Yes, I almost hope she doesn't see me... how much fun would that be?
........But, just in case she does see me, I hope, maybe.... just maybe, the Red Headed Terror might consider giving me the whole can of Coke instead of the measly cup with two sips!
Here to wishing for full can of Coke!
