Personal growth journey.
"God's plan for your life
is not something you develop,
it's something you discover."
Judgey Judgerson.
"If you have time to judge other people, you have way too much time on your hands. Get off your *** and do something meaningful."
~ Shane Gibson

What a great concept to keep in mind during the chaos of the holiday season! It's so easy to decide who the person in front of you in line is, making assumptions and conclusions... or voting on your family and why they are totally psycho... focusing all your energy on why these "others" may be "less-than" in some way. Totally natural. We all do it. But it never really helps. With anything. So, what if you were to switch your focus to self-care? What do you need to do to take care of you? Politely excuse yourself from a convo? Focus on what you're thankful for when you're waiting in a god-awful line at the store. Bottom line: Taking care of yourself always feels better than standing in a place of judgment. So, catch yourself, switch it up, and see how much better it feels. I dare you.

Don't let [junk] bump you off your grind. Keep your balance of course.

Represent 5 things for me:

1. God's faithfulness to pull me out of troubles to a place of being whole again and providing for me financially
2. Transformation - change takes time
3. Identity - just is ... me
4. Thriving/Best ME - expressing myself, ending hair struggles, increasing happiness, love, creativity, beauty, and confidence in my life.
5. Anti-racism - black is beautiful, provokes thought of norm/beauty/ownership. No point for prejudice



Answers to prayer found in braided hair.

Thank you, Yah.
