Welcome to my world!

Hi! This is my first time writing  a post on my own blog!!! So how about I just tell you who I am first than next blog we can get into something more personal! Well any how.. I am a wife, mother, friend and I really love natural hair. I actually braid hair and style natural hair but decided I didn't want to make a career out of it because  for some reason it stripped the joy away from doing hair( the business side)! So now I just braid and style hair as a hobby! I also love music. I write my own songs and play the piano.
I love being a wife and  being a mom. Grant it both of the roles are pretty difficult to balance but with time they become a little easier day by day. My husband and I moved to a new state about a year ago for work and that by itself has been a transition, especially since our whole support system didn't move with us! LOL. I am currently in this weird phase of my life where I don't really care about what people think about me. Like before I cared to a degree but now it's like... bye... I'm grown and will live my life the way I choose to but at the same time keeping in mind that I am a representation of my husband and my kids. Before I was a representation of the church, youth that look up to me, my work, my husband and kids. I've have learned so much as far as who I should be pleasing. I am very much so a believer of the Word of God... without the religious mind set because after all I had that for about the past 10 years. Like how I have to talk a certain way, act a certain way and basically not be   PERSON with feeling and failing ( that's how I felt... my pastors where rocks tars)! lol. For the most part I felt like I was placed on this pedestal by others because I was a worship leader, youth leader and dance team leader. So in my mind I could never fail because I would considered unfit and unworthy. I spent so much of my life trying to make sure I  didn't fail others but while doing that I only failed myself because I kept the real me inside this box because I didn't want to deal with peoples judgements.
So now I am at a median in my life where I don't care what people think and will live my life as free as possible with the guidance of God. I am a woman who has overcome so many challenges in life and I hope my stories are a word of encouragement to you and others. So I'm stepping out of my box and pursing the things that I believe God has called me to pursue because I have everything I need to be who God called me to be and so do you!

Following the Dreams Within You

Image
So many of us have dreams. We have all these goals we feel like we need to reach or accomplish in order to live the life that we think is best for us!  So, what happens when that dream doesn't actually happen? Why do we become content with the situations that were in and then use that as an excuse for why we never accomplished our dreams? What happens when you do accomplish that dream and then realize it wasn't for you? What would have happened if we followed the dreams that God placed within us? Wouldn't that be a win win. Wouldn’t it be ideal that He did all of the work for us because I mean after all He is God? That would be pretty cool I suppose, but not nearly as fulfilling as playing a part in that dream that He had put within us. I am in no way, shape or form a pastor and nor am I trying to preach to you, but I'm only sharing what I have experienced from not listening to God and just doing everything my way. So, some of you know I braid hair and style nat

Hey guys!! Sorry for such a prolong wait on a new post! I have been very tired lately due to work!!! Any who this post is an update on my alopecia areata! So, I decided to cut the back of my hair on Feb. 14, 2017, in hopes that my hair would grow back the way I wanted to and guess what………… it did as you can see in the pictures below!!!!So, for all you woman that have alopecia areata  there is hope but remember your hair will still go through different period of balding. You just have to make sure your taking care of yourself through healthy eating, exercise and plenty of water. You want to keep your stress levels down as much as possible as well. When you’re not taking care of yourself your hair will more than likely come out more than usual. Also find out what your porosity level is with your hair, it plays a huge part in why you may be struggling with hair growth in general. When I went natural in 2003, it was not a trend, so for the most part I was just basic things like wa

Feeling weary

Image
Lately I have been feeling weary. Before you know it, the weariness turns and to resentment, bitterness and eventually hate. I have spent my whole life pouring out love into others and really trying to help them see the potential that they have and show through my actions that love does still exist. Sometimes a person can be exposed to so much pain and hate that they don’t even recognize what real love looks like because of people using it so wrong. Any how I have gotten to the state of feeling weary and discontinuing my work in youth care. I feel as though God is preparing me for something so much bigger than what I am currently doing. I have been working with teenagers since I was a teen myself and has enjoyed even the ugliest moments of it. Now I feel it is time to move on to something different. I’m at a different place in my life. I feel like working with people will always be my thing. God has given different gifts and a new vision, one that I plan on following. I may
