” It’s not what you go through that defines you; you can’t help that. It’s what you do AFTER you’ve gone through it that really tests who you are. ”  ~ Kwame Floyd

Let’s face it, we will all go through rough patches along our journeys. We stumble, we make mistakes. It’s what makes us human. How we cope with those circumstances will determine how other things unfold. If we continue to focus on those things that have caused us some sort of pain or discomfort in life, surely, more of that will come. You can’t focus on problems and expect anything other than more problems.  Instead, acknowledge the problem, feel the grief or bad feeling without dwelling on it too long, and move on to something that makes you happy. Everything always works out, whether we like it or not; there is always a solution.  Be easy about it and Enjoy Your Journey. ~ Kristi

It’s funny looking back and seeing what worked and what didn’t. There is one collage in particular where you see the expression on my face that clearly says, “what in the world?” It’s ok, we are not perfect and neither is our hair. I’ve had a lot of days where I just had to ask myself, ” what were you thinking with that one? ” Natural hair, or hair in general, embracing it, good and bad days,  is part of the journey. I’m gonna continue to enjoy it.

If you have any questions, as always, let me know. For now, take a glance back at my hair journey for 2011!
