Discover! Create! Begin...

I believe we all have the ability to be creative as long as we trust in ourselves and remove the element of Fear.  Whenever I create a project I use whatever is available to me and begin from there.  I don't put a whole lot of thought into my projects in the beginning, I just Start.  I find that if I think too much frustration will set in and nothing will ever get accomplished.  If I'm creating a cornrow style I begin with a single braid and from there I begin the second braid and on and on....

Maybe at about a quarter of the way through my hairstyle I start to form a vision in my mind of the finished look.  The same ritual is used when I am creating earrings, painting a picture or doing a sketch on my sketch pad.  I just STarT and listen to my materials and allow myself to be guided.  This blog is inspired by the photos I viewed on Pinterest.

OMG! The beautiful looks of natural hair makes me wonder why some people have a problem with it.  Kinky hair is so very versatile and unique to each individual that if we would just be patient and GO For It! we will discover things about ourselves and get inspired from THAT. Discovery is a part of the transition process, a process that can be frustration through and within itself.

There is no such thing as perfect, but whatever YOU decide to do for yourself and if you decide to do it yourself I consider it to be PERFECT and I'm sure beautiful as well.

LET'S MEET!

I have a little to say but I don't know how to begin.  I'm going to try to begin at the beginning but that is so far back on my own personal journey until after a time of deep reflection it gets kinda foggy.
In my business of natural hair styling and Locs for the African American, I have finally become fully conscience of what it is that I am actually doing.  I am meeting my clients where they are in their personal journeys and providing them with what they need and what they want through a process uniquely designed and customized for each individual, spiritually, mentally and physically.  For some of us the journey doesn't begin with the hair, (but doesn't omit it either) it could begin at many different levels in an attempt to meet personal goals.
Have you ever been so very close up on a situation until you can't see it?  Like how a certain thing can be so right there in your face that you can't share it, describe it, communicate it, or even see it as it is? Can't see the forest for the trees?
Maybe I am just describing myself but that is how it was (and sometime is)  for me in trying to express myself and clearly communicate to my customers the things needed in order to keep moving forward on personal journeys.
As we all are growing and learning new things about ourselves we discover the power and the blessings that are stored within all of us.  This is why it is so very important to know, love and accept who we are; its a beautiful thing to unleash the greatness, the divine gifts and the power that we have.  My journey began with accepting who I am and trusting myself enough to believe in my abilities and my experiences.  Trying to please other people with the life that God has planned out for me was the biggest mistake of my existence.  In order for me to meet people where they are I have to accept the gifts given to me and know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and to love my fellow man as I love myself.  I want to meet you where you are!
