    “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it” -Mary Engelbreit We all know someone who we can compare to stagnant water, they choose to go nowhere and they stink (figuratively speaking). Change is something that I strongly believe should be recurring. There’s a word I like to use when I am speaking about changes and that is comfort. If you do not strive for a change then you are comfortable right? Many times people settle for what’s in front of them and they choose to go nowhere. Picture yourself running on a treadmill, theoretically and imaginatively speaking you are…

    Forgiveness

    July 14, 2020 /

    It truly is a blessing when your cognitive level is high enough whereas inspiration to write can derive from almost anywhere. During a very intellectually charged conversation I had with a friend, he asked me, How many times can someone make a mistake before you stop forgiving them?  Have you ever heard the proverb, different strokes for different folks? Well, here are my thoughts on forgiveness.  To forgive sounds easier said than done. Oftentimes I have heard that when you forgive someone it is not for them but for yourself. While this may be true, it may not be enough for you to even begin to think to forgive someone…

    3 Types of Friendships and how they Impact Your Life

    July 7, 2020 /

    Surrounding yourself with positive people is extremely beneficial. It’s like the well-known Proverb that states, “Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are”. If someone were to examine your life through the friends that you keep, would they have something positive to say? Let us be real, friendships are taken for granted, yet, they can have such a huge impact on one’s life that people fail to realize it.  Knowing the different types of friendships/relationships as well as how they affect us matters. And so I will share some insights on that allowing us to start a conversation.  Let me start by mentioning that there are…

    July 2, 2020 /

    Exercising or working out with Locs is doable! Maintaining locs while working out or living an active lifestyle is not as difficult as some people may think. I have been working out with locs ever since I started them (1 year ago), as well as I have been helping my husband with his starter locs since he started them back in April. What I’ve learned from both of our journeys is that the care needed after working out is different for both of us. For me, after exercising with locs there isn’t much that I have to do. I don’t sweat as much as well as I do not like…

    The best length to start dreads often depends on the method that you are planning to use to start your locs. Continue reading as I will provide more detailed information answering the question of ‘how long does my hair need to be to start dreads?’. When I started my first set of locs, I started them with finger coils, which is a common method of starting locs on 4c curly hair. I had about 8 inches of hair at that time, being that I had been growing my natural hair for a long time, over 2 years. I ended up discontinuing that loc journey. On my second journey, I started…

    Methods of starting locs. Starting locs is an important and memorable moment for many people but it can also cause concern and worry. If you are considering locs, you may know that there are many methods to choose from and each has its advantages and disadvantages.  When you first decide to start locs, you must think of what is most important to you or your personality type. Are you more free-spirited, then perhaps freeform locs may be for you, are you more reserved and high maintenance, then perhaps sisterlocks, small or medium size locs may be better for you. Apart from that, important things to consider are (1) the length…
