31 day challenge: I chopped my hair off

I've written about my hair and desire to go natural. I could go into all of the reasons that I wanted to go natural...but I've written about it a lot. I'll give you a brief summary/overview. I would refer to my hair as not as good as Kenley's. I loved getting relaxers. And then there was a point where I realized that when we have children, I want them to be comfortable in their own skin and even their hair. I wanted to be able to work with natural hair and be comfortable with my own. I went through figuring out what it meant for me to continue getting relaxers...for me, I was done putting the chemicals in my hair. I'm trying to work on eating whole/clean food...food that is somewhat connected to its natural form...I don't get it right every day or even every meal. But I want to be good to this body and my hair and love it in its natural state.

I realized that cutting my hair was a very visible way of saying that I choose not to use chemicals in my hair...well, not some of the bad chemicals that straighten hair. My goal now is to welcome my new hair. I love love love it. It has this cute little curl. I want to learn how to really do my hair and be good to it. And to be good to my body. The way that I want to love my hair, I want to love my body. It's what I have right now and every step of the way is a beautiful part of my journey.

I'm enjoying the 31 day challenge. I realized that my body loves getting 7 hours of sleep. I hit a point where I was trying to get less than 7 hours of sleep and when I would do that, I would hit snooze. :) Now doesn't that make you laugh. So I'm going to go to bed earlier, probably incorporate less tv into my life, and do lots of other things. I'm tracking my food and working on my pushups...those are hard!
