this is my hair

I have been natural for a consist one year now. I have always been a person that could never do my own hair. Being natural now, I could now do my hair. Here are some pictures:

a day of reflection

Today I reflect and remember.  Today marks the 10th anniversary of 9/11, 10 years past already.  I remember where I was during 9/11. I was in my high school's history class listening to the radio and barely able to comprehend that this was happening to my country.  I remember thinking of the families left behind and the country becoming united to support them. 

It has been 10 years now. This brings me to reflect on myself and ask do I play a part of the unity in my country now.  At this point, I do find a sense of peace in my life and I use that peace to give out positive energy to others. 

This weekend was my graduate school weekend. It asked me four questions: what is my heart;what do I bring to the table;what is my gift;and what do I expect from graduate school.  My answers were God and Family;Dance;bring positive energy;a sense of confidence in my field.

I was comuting four hours to school but I moved closer to my graduate school this year. I have a job to barely pay my bills and I am adjusting being young in a bigger city.   It took some planing but I am here.

I have a great person in my life who challenges me to be my better self. I do have some issues but all in all life is good.

what makes you at peace?
