Today...I discovered I'm a "misfit"...

A "misfit" by definition is: a person who is not suited or is unable to adjust to the circumstances of his or her particular situation. You can look at that in a good or bad way, but what I've always noticed through observation..."misfits" change the world!  They don't accept what's told them or go along with what they've been taught to believe/think.  They typically go against the grain, usually unintentional.  They don't fit in where people are normally comfortable.  They'd rather be doing something creative or simply something that makes them happy.  It's just who they are. It's ok to be/think outside of the box. It's who God created you to be! Now, take that (in my P. Diddy voice) and RUN with it!!!  Sending you all "misfit" love....Namaste

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Wow...so, March was the last time I wrote something lol!  I've been gone waaaaay to long and I'm trying to get back to doing one of the many things I LOVE...writing!  It seems I am often criticized for my BS (belief system) by some family and friends.  Some think I'm always going against the grain, but let's get something straight, I am who I am and that's all I can be.  Being ME is my primary purpose in life, including all the contradictions and complexities.  I was not made to be a puppet and let someone dangle my strings.  By questioning life, my beliefs, and people around me, it's invigorating.  It helps me grow and helps me to evolve daily.  I encourage you to question....question everything!  Have a good day and a better tomorrow! 

Still Processing

Today, I see more people going "natural", which is a wonderful thing!  Me, being a "natural" African American woman who thinks for myself and usually thinks outside the box, I realize that my thoughts can be "out there" at times.  However, I know a few people are riding on that same vibrational thought pattern with me.  Something in the African American woman's conscious is going on...a revolution.  I'm not saying the same isn't happening with my brothers, but I'm focusing on my sisters for now.  While we are steering away for processing our hair, we must also steer away from processing our minds.  When we process our hair with chemicals, it strips away our natural texture.  How are our minds being processed?  Religion. The overt thing is always the easiest thing to critique, but not the things we have been taught or conditioned to believe since birth.  I'll be the first to admit, it's hard.  What happens when we stop processing our hair, but we are still processing our minds with the "religious perm"?  I encourage you to question what you've been taught or what you've been conditioned to believe.  Until next time...Namaste!
