surfs up dude!

 Sometimes as I am growing out my hair I feel like it is just a hot mess! I think that is why I kept it short for so long. I could never get past a few months of growing it out. I think my family had bets on how long it would take me to get it cut whenever I said I was going to grow my hair out. The reason I kept getting it cut is I felt it didn't look professional since I was a manager and felt I looked like I was a surfer dude all the time. I am no surfer dude! You would not catch me that far out in the ocean. I barely walk in the ocean up to my calves. Why?  Have you heard of sharks?? NOPE...NOPE...NOPE. But I am embracing the curls, still, and enjoying the freedom, and those with curls know they have a mind of their own!

Since I am no longer in management, I feel like I can be freer with my hair, like I have given myself permission to "let my hair down" haha!  Don't get me wrong, I do not just let it go. I style my curls, when they let me. But it is a style that I am still trying to get use to, the messy curl girl style. And it is taking so dad-gum long to grow. Like what the heck?! 

As we go on the curl journey together, and yes, you are on this journey with me, it will be a struggle but one that we will win! My plan/goal is to get my hair to my shoulders and as you can see, I have a way to go. So your job in this journey is to keep me going, keep me from cutting my hair and get me to the finish line! As it is growing, I still have not picked a style. I think it would probably be a good idea to get one and not just let the curls be the boss. I am looking and have something in mind, but need my hair to be longer!!

What is this journey teaching me? All journeys have a lesson it. Everything we go through in life will teach us a lesson. I am learning patience and (as I have said before) trust the process. Hopefully, my goal is by Christmas, I will have a new look and maybe take a few years off of me! (a girl can only dream). I leave you today, once again, with some of God's promises and wisdom!

Ecclesiastes 7:8; “The end of something is better than its beginning. Patience is better than pride.”

Exodus 14:14; "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."

Love to all,
