Changing Views: Letting go... Changing my life completely!

Moving to the country is something some city dwellers wish for in the morning rush hour commute. Other city dwellers plan on making the country life part of their retirement years. But for most its just a passing thought or an outdated dream. Especially the city dwellers who have lived in the city for many years. You grow accustom to some city luxuries and conveniences. And then there are those like myself. Those who want to move to the country and live as soon as possible. Here's my story. I'll start by saying I am a country girl at heart. I was raised mostly in the country pines of Louisiana. After leaving my small town as a teenager, I thought I'd had enough of the country. I was ready to begin college and live in the city! Fast life, convenient stores, & 24 hour shopping appealed to me as a young adult. But there was always something missing! Something too fast about the city living. I missed the friendliness and community of country living. Once out of college and living in the city full-time I put aside all the thoughts of moving back to the country and beside, I thought country living was hard living. After getting married and raising children in the city the thought of moving back to the country once again came up in my mind. It started off very quiet but it finally got to a full blown roar! I decided to talk to my husband about it and we both wanted to give it a try. Problem was we were knee deep in city living! We had all the usual stuff. A house. A job (hubby worked). I owned my own business (home office). And not to mention our friends and family not wanting us to move! We decided if we were going to do it then now was the time. The children are grown and we were in a spot financially to sell-out and move! It was a big decision to make and it took a lot of planning. We had the universe on our side because things begin to fall in place. And then finally after months and months of preparation, it happened. My View Changed! Who does that? Pack up, settle up, and move to the country. Yes, it can be done! Even at our ages! We haven't looked back. At this point we are 8 months in. We have no regrets and life has begin again for us....

Why I do it? Life as a first-time Blogger!

Image
When I first thought about starting a blog, I checked with a few friends and family members. I received mixed opinions about the whole things. Most of my friends and family thought it would be a waste of time. Most felt I wouldn't be able to reach anyone because of the volume of bloggers/vloggers out there right now. I wanted to help people in some way! I've had many life experiences and situations. I thought my life could be a lesson to some of what "not" to do with your life! Or maybe it would show someone that no matter what the circumstance we live on.. I also thought that those who read my blogs would maybe see a little bit of themselves through my stories. Mainly, I just wanted to reach as many people as possible and maybe through my stories I could help. Sometimes people feel alone in situations. They feel like nobody knows what they are going through.  As I was doing my research before starting my blog, I almost got discouraged! Why? The blogging market is...

My first wash-n-go on natural 4c hair...

Image
Follow along with me as I try my first wash-n-go. Having short natural 4c hair has it's challenges. One of the biggest challenge is styling you're hair. While there are many styles currently available to try, not all styles can be achieved on 4c hair type. After doing some research looks like wash-n-gos are easy! I wanted to find out for myself! They say the finger raking method is the easiest way to achieve a quick wash-n-go. So I thought I'll give it a try. I'm always looking for easy styles that last at least a week. And as I'm getting older I don't have time or strength for long drawn-out hairstyles. It's gotta be quick and easy for me! I want to look good without having to spend hours on my hair. Join me as I try my first wash-n-go using the raking method and see my results! Don't forget to like/subscribe/share my video.. Http://youtu.be/a4sJv9Jm0QE

My imagination let me down, again!

Image
How many times have you imagined something special? You had it all worked out in your mind! Every detail has been thought of and figured out! You just knew everything would work out. Why? Because you've already imagined it out a thousand times in your head... Only to have reality slap your well-thought-out plan right in the face!  All the thoughtful planning, for what? None of you're imangined thought ever became a reality! Sound familiar? Sometimes I wonder about dreams and imagination! In my experience they have never panned out how I thought they would, if it happens at all. Months of thoughts, dreams, and imagining, only for it to fall through the cracks of my mind! I'm not talking about big fantastic imangining. Like winning the lotto or getting rich overnight! I'm talking about real dreams that could come true! As I've gotten older, I've come to realize not all that we imagine comes into reality! No matter how we've thought it out or imagined ev...
