Hello Everyone, and Happy New Year!!! I hope the past few months found everyone well and everyone had a good Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Holiday, and New Years Eve!
If you read my last post (months and months ago) then you know that I had some computer trouble. All of a sudden I couldn't even get to my desk top page on my computer. I tried using the blogger app, but typing long blogs as I do was made worse by typos from using my phone, plus the photo placement wouldn't have been what I wanted. I tried using my father in law's laptop that was on loan to us, but Blogger website wouldn't work properly. Yes, these may sound like excuses, but they were true. My wonderful hubby got my computer working again, even though it is literally falling apart thanks to my little girl, and I thought what better way to start my blog again but to start fresh in 2014.
Even though I haven't been posting in my blog for a few months, it doesn't mean I have just been sitting around. My daughter, Lola, turned 2 and with that even more of her rambunctious personality came through. Halloween at my job is always a big event, with departments competing against each other for a company paid lunch (and Lola was Run DMC for Halloween, though she looked more like LL Cool J.) My holidays were good with the family, even though we had to work. Lola just became really aware of Christmas and was excited about everything associated with it. Work has been going well and I became a nail polish addict.
Hair wise, I feel I have been slacking off. There were so many things I wanted to try and do but life got in the way. I still have ideas that I want to make happen and goals I want to obtain, but it may take a bit longer than I imagined. Don't worry, there will be more details in a future blog I have planned. I also discovered two hair products that I absolutely adored and was about to blog about one when the whole computer fiasco happened. I still plan on writing about them in upcoming blogs, but unfortunately there may not be pictures from when I used it. I may have to do some digging.
One thing I have come to realize is blogging about my hair kept me honest. I made sure that I washed, deep conditioned, and moisturized my hair on a regular basis. Even if I wore it in a small fro pushed back with a scarf, I still made sure I moisturize my hair. Not so much since I stopped blogging. This started as a way for me to document my journey and it will continue to be that. I have to look at myself (and my hair) and figure out what I have been doing wrong, what I need to do to fix it, and keep doing it. I have a personal goal to be serious about getting healthy in 2014 and I need to keep that same mindset to get my hair to a healthy place as well. I was off to a good start, now I need to continue. I still keep thinking to myself, "You have been natural for 10 years. How is your hair not longer and healthier?" It is a question I asked myself when I started, and I continue to do so. My goal is to have a definitive answer and make sure I am not asking my self the same question in another 10 years.
On that note, I want to say thank you for bearing with me during my absence, and I hope you all will continue to read as I continue to write.
Here's to 2014. CHEERS!
