Figuring Out Who I am.. As I get older?







You see my main problem right now, is figuring out who I am! I'm not the same person I was a year ago, but who am I? Who have I become? It's all slowly unraveling! I am trying out new things to see what fits. So far nothing has fit but I'm still giving things time to work out. The person that I want to be and the person I become might be different. Getting older, you see how time is changing and how much time has changed. Things that aren't like they used to be is a daily occurrence. Even tastes change! Now things don't taste the way they used to? Dam! And while your reflecting on the past and busy reminiscing, life is moving right on and things are constantly changing from what it used to be.

  All of a sudden, I'm the older one in the room!? Now I have to hear the complimentary “yes ma'am, no ma'am”! Meanwhile I'm still feeling (inside) like the person I've always been. I feel no different (inside) now than I did when I was in my 20's! Nothing but time has changed (inside). Yet my body reminds me daily that I'm getting older. The aches and pains in places like my fingers and knees are constant reminders! My hair has even started to show signs of aging. Gray hairs popping up everywhere! 

 And then there's people… Friends & Family! All starting to treat you different because your getting older. I didn't see this coming? But if you get older this is one of the things you have to deal with. It's very personal accepting the fact that I'm getting older. Some never deal with it and try to stay forever young. But God made this process of getting older for a reason. Getting older is part of life. Getting older is a process just like every other phase of life. I don't have everything worked out yet. I'm growing, learning, & still becoming. As I go through this phase and re-adjust my life accordingly, I will try to grow older with wisdom & grace.

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...
