Plant a Trouble Tree- Beliefnet.com I truly enjoyed this video and it was just what I needed for the day I have been having, more like a week. I just need some change and I feel its going to be something big that can affect me for the rest of my life... Just sharing. I just finished this quarter of school so Im going to try to catch up on this blog. Enjoy the video!!

Hey y'all!! I just wanted to do some writing so here goes. This post will be a hair update post regarding obviously hair...lol...So on April 27th marked my 11 month natural hair anniversary and also 21 months with no perm. I cannot tell you all what this journey has done for me and my hair. In the beginning of this journey, I was not too sure what I expected to get out of going natural. I knew that some of my reasons were I didn't want to put chemicals on my hair anymore, I wanted my hair to grow, I needed to do this to show to my daughter that her hair is perfect just the way it is. I have learned all these things and so much more. My hair has grown so much in these last few years than it ever did in my whole life. My self confidence and self esteem has gone through the roof. I didn't care about what people thought of me before, but now I REALLY  don't care what people have to say about my hair, my clothes or anything cause I do everything I do for me and no one else(

I had the privilege of participating in a walk in honor of my friend's mom who has MS. This walk was 8 miles total and I can say I have never walked that far in my life. This was the most exercise I have done since I was pregnant and before that high school. So yes I am sore and yes I am tired but it does have me feeling good about myself. I didn't even want to go that morning but am actually glad I did!! Here's a picture of the group walking in honor of Lydia!!! Just sharing, This was definitely my good deed for the year!!! LOL...J/k

Lately I've been evaluating my life and where it is headed and who I really am. Over the years as I have had many relationships with many different people what I believe in and value has gotten somewhat distorted. Often times when we are in relationships a person's views and opinions get tainted or transformed by the views and opinions of others. Not saying that I am not me anymore,but I have learned that I find myself settling for things I vowed I would never settle for. So I am now trying to find ways to get back in tune with myself and am doing some new things to change my outlook on life. I have come across meditation and yoga to center myself and get in tune with my thoughts(one of the most powerful tools I have in determining my life.). As a mother, a student, an employee, etc. it is hard to remember that I am a being of my own and I am "me" first. And if my "me" is not correct and on point, how can I make everything else in my life the way I want it

I know I haven't been a faithful blogger, but I have been extremely busy lately. I just finished up Winter Quarter for my B.S. and Spring starts April 4th, so I have a little break. Just some updates. I am now 10 months au naturale as far as my hair goes and it has been 20 months with no perm. I cannot believe I have gone almost 2 years with no chemicals in my hair whatsoever and barely any heat!!!! I am astonished at how fast my hair is growing and the thickness and healthy-ness of my hair!!! It has been a great journey and am excited to see where I can grow my hair to in this journey. Life has been going good. I just wrapped up Winter Quarter and my new GPA is a 3.049 so Im very excited about that especially after slacking the previous two quarters. I am looking forward to my senior year and it feels like high school senior year but better. I will have a BS in Criminal Justice and eventually want to attend John Jay School of Criminal Jutice in NY. So I am just taking it day
