Midweek Meditation: Am I Enough?
Have you ever wanted something so badly that you’re afraid to even try? If you’re like me then you have a million things that you want to do with your life. But it feels like every time I gather enough courage to take the first step my mind gets clouded with doubt: What if I fail? What if I fall on my face? What if I look crazy?
The more important question that we should be asking ourselves is “what if I don’t?”
Things My Natural Hair Taught Me About Life
I still remember the day I had my Big Chop. I had just finished my freshmen year of college. A few hours after turning in my last final I was sitting in an old wooden chair at a friend’s house, the pair of scissors in her hand hovering above my head as she prepared to make the first cut. Flash forward five years to today and I am still navigating this natural hair journey while learning some unexpected life lessons along the way.

Current Love/ My new Canon Rebel T6s (!)
I’m in transition. I’m in between. I’m waiting.
We’ve all been there, partway between your last adventure and your next challenge. I’ve finished my summer job and a week ago and I’m waiting for my next one to begin. Honestly, I’ve never been a fan of waiting. I don’t like long lines, it bothers me when people walk slowly in front of me, and I rarely wait for my food to cool down enough for me to not burn my mouth when eating it. I have a habit of being impatient, but lately, I’ve been learning that patience really is a virtue. Continue reading “Midweek Meditation: The Waiting”

Midweek Meditation – Slow Down. Calm Down.
“Slow down. Calm down. Don’t worry. Don’t hurry. Trust the process.”
-Alexandra Stoddard
Two weeks ago I was walking through Chelsea Market with my roommate when a card in Posman Books caught my eye. Neatly printed across the front was this quote from Alexandra Stoddard that I had never heard before. The words sounded like the exact opposite of the life I’ve been living. I almost laughed as I realized that in the 20 seconds that I had been standing there at least two people had almost bumped into me as they hurried on to their destination, but not before giving me a dirty look for being in their way. Its almost a rule that you don’t stay still in New York City.

Unafraid Life Lessons – February 2016
I sat down a few days ago and realized that I’ve learned a lot over the last 30ish days. Its easy to just keep moving forward without thinking twice about the past month, but I think its important to take a moment and reflect. So let’s look back, shall we?
