Growing Pains

“Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we are in fact in the process of change,of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening… Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.”  — Alice Walker

The Healthy Lifestyle

Lately I have noticed that "cancer" is affecting those around me at a rapid speed. It scares me, it bother me. Then I look back at my family and my mother had it at the age of 32. Lived by Gods grace, but my grand mother & great grand mother was not so lucky. I figure instead of sitting around moping and eating shitty food, Why don't I start making some changes to my diet and well being. I cut out the junk food, the soda, the meat. Now I am obsessed with juicing, veggies, fruit, almond milk instead of soy and I feel better I feel lighter, my body looks great, and my skin is clear.

 

I even started to wear my hair natural. I feel free, I feel like a queen, and real + authentic. I am using organic products now, done with the chemicals, I'm so over damaging my hair, my body and mind. I am appreciating who I really am and how I should properly take care of my self. Hair, diet, and body.

A couple of months ago I got into a fight with someone who I considered a good friend but I ruined that because of my mouth. I talked to much, I held onto a silly grudge that we already squashed over a year ago, I became envious, and selfish. It was not right and now i am still waiting to be forgiven. But I have prayed for God to forgive me and then I forgave myself. I feel free, and then I read an article called "Thank you for not sharing" It spoke to me loud and clearly. Now I think twice before I speak. Least I am learning from my mistake and not repeating them (if only he could see that)

Here I challenge you. Start researching ways to eat right, take care of your body the correct way. Heal yourself and your skin, your hair, your mind. It all makes a difference with how you think too. You become positive and filled with Love.

Never thought I have my own kitty.
From working all day Monday through Friday 8 till past 5, I like to have some company when I return home. A pet of my own. One I can take care of and at the same time teach me some responsibility. He's doing a swell job.

Hair Update It's growing. Saw some new growth this round and I'm excited to see some more results the end of this month.

I'm slowly wanting to start/creative my own Photography/Graphic Design business. I even get goosebumps just thinking about it. But slowly and surely and by Gods grace I will get there. I will also make every small step count—everyday.
