Big CHOP!!! Watch Me Rock this Short Hair

Let’s just say its 2020 already and my baby will be 1. Times is just going by. But despite the time, I wanted to share my “Watch me Rock this short hair” story.

Ok guys so first thing first! I love love lovveee my hair. In my last trimester, I started noticing my hair follicles and roots. The moment I had my baby boy I noticed month after month, my hair was falling out.

By month 4 I was contemplating then I felt the urge to do it. So I called my brother, I had my clippers so went to slicing and dicing my hair. I didn’t wear my real hair out for 2 months after because I wanted to figure out how I wanted it styled. And I found the perfect haircut for Zak.

I get questions like: Why I did it?, am I ok?,  am I having a midlife crisis? And to answer those questions it more about me and where I am in life. I’m to a place where I don’t care about the opinions of others because most people give advice based off their own experiences and fears.

You have to do what’s best for you. I honestly don’t have time for hair. I have an 8 month old, a 9-5, and a business to run. The holy spirit whispered, cut that off. So guess what?!?!? I cut it.

I wanted something different. I was entering a new journey in my life (my 30th) and the cut just added a spike to my life. I feel great, I’m taking care of me, reading books, and feeding my spirit man.

It’s funny that folks always think you’re going through something to make you do something dramatically different. I love change, in change comes opportunities. I am not my hair but not having much of it has surely has me in a good space spiritually, physical, emotionally.

Do what’s best for you. Be the change you want to see, pray, and let the holy spirit guide you.

I’m loving my new look and I hope you guys too as well.

When I tell you life can throw you some curve balls. But sometimes you have to take them, accept them, process it but continue to move forward. Time is precious and valuable, so obstacles may arise but pushing through and never quitting should be the number 1 priority when it comes to your dreams. See the devil may try to steal, kill, and destroy you mentally but remember with Christ you can do all things through him who strengthens you.

I’m a strong believer when it comes to my faith in the Lord. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be in the space I am now. My year so far hasn’t been the best but I’m making it the best it can be. Being a new mother can be a struggle especially when you are; breastfeeding, your hormones are up and down, not getting proper sleep, on top of having to go back to work and then dealing with the struggles of life. Life can be extremely overwhelming but one thing I have realized is that taking care of yourself is crucial because if you’re not right inside and out nothing else will be.

This season I’m in a space where my prime focus is taking care of me internally and raising my child into the man God intends him to be. I have to keep moving but also “Be Still” because having the responsibility of someone looking up to you and sensing everything around them is important to me. I must say my baby is such a delight. He was born at the right moment at the right time. I never thought I would be so proud of me for what I have accomplished and where my life is and will be. Life is a journey and I’m here for the ride. Taking it one day at a time. Happy 6 months to my Meechy Meech. I’m super proud of your progress and ready to observe the type of person I’m here to assist you to be. Mommy loves you unconditionally.OXOX

DAY NUGGET: HOW TO BE THERE FOR YOUR FRIENDS

                      

Sometimes you just need to take a step back, let people make their own mistakes, be there when they need you, and shut the hell up. At the end of the day, people are going do what they want to do anyway.

In any situation, a person will do what they want to do. Just be there because you can't force people into doing things you want them to do. People won't learn if mistakes aren't involved. Trying to change people for what you might see or think is the best for them is their choice. Over the years I have learned to mind my business. Sometimes your friends, siblings, family members, and associates don't need another mother, they need a friend, a listening ear. So be there despite what you think they should do, be there whether you think there are other ways or routes in life. Besides, how are they to learn if you continue to make a choice for them? Now, needless to say, if someone asks my honest opinion, I will honestly give it but otherwise, I won't say anything just listen. 

"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently". Henry Ford

I just want you to think about this topic and put these into your own life and see how your individual self could benefit from that. "Be quick to listen, slow to speak" one of my favorite scriptures James 1:19. What are your thoughts? Do I have a point?

6 Ways to Move Past Grieving a Lost!

6 Ways to Move Past Grieving a Lost!

 Grieving a loved one can be devastating, hurtful, shocking, and plan right heartbroken.  To some people it is a wake-up call, I say a time the Lord is trying to get your attention. Life is a test; it is up to us to go left or right. The Lord challenges us to view our faith in times of sorrow.

One of the best things we can do is to meditate/pray so here are 5 ways to move past grieving a loved one:

 1.    Listen to Happy/Praise Music
Sometimes we find ourselves listening to the music that keeps us sad, it puts you in a place that is gloomy, dark, and depressed. Listening to happy music helps us cope & find a way to push through a sudden tragedy to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

 2.    Meditate/Pray

When grieving your mind can get the best of you, if you let it. I don’t know about anybody else but I can get a little discombobulated and distracted if prayer and a peace of mind not involved.

 3.    Accept Support
Accepting support means its ok for someone to be there in this time of need so don’t disregard help, love, and kindness for those who love you.

 4.    Get Out!
This is so important! According to Patrick Banks “5 Ways to Get Over the Lost Love Fast” getting out and trying new things can help during the grieving process.

 5.    Work It Out
Working out is a stress reliever, says Mayo Clinic Staff (here’s full link). Working out can get your mind off of things and allow you to think positive. Put your music on, get pumped and just work it!

 6.    Push Through
Pushing through means don’t mourn forever. It's ok to think of all the times you’ve had with that person but it is not ok when your home for months sometimes even years stuck in the same place your loved one left you because whether you like it or not; life will move on, time will get going, and its not healthy to be stressed and depressed. So find peace in the situation, its ok to cry, it is ok to throw something at the wall, its ok to scream (just make sure you put a pillow over your face lol) but all and all you have to move forward.

 I hoped this helped someone because I have seen so much death in the past 3 weeks and death can affect your mind. With meditation and prayer, the Lord is by your side. So do something for somebody else, love your family and friends and leave all the pettiness, cattiness, hate, and strife out the pictures. I have learned in the past couple of weeks with two losses in my family that the devil will try any avenue to creep in your life because he’s desperate and “Ain’t nobody got time for that”. Focus on the love and joy that person filled in your life and remember everyone we cross path with is a gift, not a right.
