Maintaining your peace of mind.

All too often I find that it's a daily struggle to keep your wits about you and to just stay in a positive mindset.With sooooo much happening in my circle I often find it so tempting to lose my cool amidst the daily hustle and  bustle and the many negative voices and distractions. :-| As hard as it sometimes get to not allow myself the chance to get too caught up in "feelings" or "moods" I've grown to realize how incredibly  important it is for me to maintain that aura of peace that I find whenever I read God's word or when I'm just feeling "too blessed to be stressed".Listen I know that there will be many encounters throughout your day that is gonna test your patience and I know that opportunities are gonna arise where you will let the nega-juice seep into your psyche if only for a second.One of the things that helps me to remain grounded n thankful is reminding myself of how Great it is to be smiling and laughing and blessed........because I know that not everyday is a "happy" day per say,even more so the fact that it's with my own dedication and investments into my "peace fund" that I'm even able to have that unquestionable joy......therefore NOTHING is worth giving that up!.NADA.
   So I just want to remind US TO be vigilante,to keep your mind on things that will aid in having a joyful heart throughout your daily routine.Your moods,your feelings,your mindset are the very elements that will concrete your entire day.....If you let nega-juice in then it messes up your whole aura and trust that you're going to have to work twice as hard to regain your positivity.Time well wasted...... So spend every morning as your day begins to plant seeds of LOVE and peace in your heart and every moment you have throughout your waking hours to replenish those positive,empowering LOVE seeds which you've sown.Then it will be darn near impossible for your neighbour,co-worker,friend....anyone to create a rift in your sea of peace.Ok y'all,that's all for now....I've been totally slacking on my Blog posts for a minute now but I do plan to try to be more dedicated to my blog life.Speak to you soon and be blessed! <3  >>>Smooches<<<

Hola amigos.....muchachos...mes amis......ma sister...ma brutha,

   How you doinnnnnnnn????As for moi,I'm okay....feeling a bit home sick,missing Montreal and snow days and Tim hortons lol and the list go's on to infinity.However guess what?Life is good.....the days are nice n and the nights are perfectly cool.I have much to be thankful for so no complaints......God is working.This week so far has been good,I did some box braids....yippeee..nice to have my hair put away coz it makes working out sooooo much easier.My hair is growing sooooo much,my fro is getting bigger every month and I can't wait to see it at 6 months and 1 year...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it's so far yet so close.Honestly I know every naturalista says this and by now it's perhaps a bit over rated but going natural really is the best choice I ever made as far as my hair/health/well being.It's officially 4 months in and I can remember how anxious I was to big chop....the nerves I went through wondering whether I would like it or not.Now.....:-).....my smile gets bigger as my journey to healthy,coily,kinky,nappy hair continues.There's this amazing new found freedom when you come face to face with YOU....you minus the extensions....you in your most natural state...It's as if your mental,spiritual and physical self have finally merged to create the real YOU....beneath all  the layers.It takes a lot of courage to take a step like that but oh the joy!.

  If you haven't yet worked up the nerve to  big chop or transition to natural,I urge you to try.....I mean it becomes more than just about hair.....going natural is actually what's made me want to eat healthier and get fit.It's way more than just a trend or a fashion statement.....It's a lifestyle.The more good you put in..the more good you can give.I challenge you to take that step you've been contemplating....maybe you want a new career path or you want to live a healthy lifestyle or it could be something as simple as being nicer to people you encounter.....whatever it is...do it!Step out in faith and you will see the rewards.This past year has been such a roller coaster but I'm so fortunate that I still dream and even more so that I'm able to now DO.....DO everything that I spent my 20's dreaming about.Procrastination is a dream killer so don't let it steal your dreams.Live today! :-) Have an amazing weekend ya'll

Hi guys,I don't really have much to say today but just thought I'd come by and drop a line anyway.The past week has been so stressful for me and I've had to find therapy in my "hobbies" which ended up being so refreshing to the soul.I've started my cake decorating class and it just keeps getting better each time because I am definitely learning some things but it's more so my time to just shut everything else out and do something I absolutely enjoy.:-).......I can't tell you enough how exhilarating it is for me.Another thing I LOVE to do to relax is having my at home spa days where I do a facial,do my nails and shrubs masks etc.....I think it's so important to take that ME time out every now and then to just lay some loving on me......As I lay here in the after glow of nurturing me,I literally feel as if I'm glowing n every pore is breathing clearly lol.....dramatic much?....But honestly I'm so relaxed.I think the best cure for the blues is being able to treat yourself....So,How about it?Whatever it is that makes you feel like a queen Do it!Whether it's a little retail therapy,a spa day,eating good food or reading a book or whatever you enjoy doing....Get to it and enjoy YOU!.It's not only gonna be beneficial to your state of mind but anyone who crosses your path will also be able to revel in the glow of your happy place.No matter how busy.....wait....especially when your busy make it your business to grab that time out.If you're a spa day girl like moi,you don't have to spend big bucks to feel great...Trust me!A simple sugar scrub made from Brown sugar n lemon is a great exfoliant,there are a lot of cheap face masks that you can buy or simply make an oatmeal mask,boil some mint leaves and you have an invigorating steam and don't forget the cucumber slices for your puffy eyes.....Sit back,relax and enjoy the calm.See?It doesn't take a lot to pamper yourself does it?As I bid adieu I hope you enjoy the rest of your week whatever you're doing.....Do it Great! BE YOUR BEST ! Be Blessed!Be  a Blessing!  >>>Smooches<<<
