Love

To love isn’t about knowing all of the right things to say or do or obeying a list of rules that tell you how to love. It’s something more, something costlier, because it involves being present and making a sacrifice. Giving up the "you" for partnership.


The world can make you think that love can be picked up at a garage sale or enveloped in a Hallmark card. That's definitely not the case! Love is action, Jesus died for our sins because His father loved us that much. He walked on earth and was present with us because He had that much affection for us and wanted to be present.

Love doesn't say it's going to...it just does. Love is action, not words. Today, "I love you" has lost its meaning because it's used out of context. I messed up, I'm sorry but I still love you. I love you so much but don't know why I did what I did or said what I said. I should have known better but I acted in a moment of weakness, it doesn't mean I don't love you. We use love as a Cliché, in hopes that saying those words will make everything alright. 

 Remember love is not what we say but what we do with its strength on ones emotions. Love is a symbol that is displayed through our actions, not through our words. "Faith without works is death" "Love without action is a word."

You can't just pick up love and drop it off, love can't be expressed in words... Love just does! Love is action, avoiding the use of "I'm sorry." Love is a sacrifice, you're sacrificing a part of self to be present. You're giving up weakness to be strong. You're choosing happiness. You’re choosing to give up the "you" for partnership.

I decided to wear my hair the way it grows… (Porosity Maintenance)

Image
Now, I know my hair's porosity and density levels. How am I supposed to care for it? Although it is important to know your hair type, the journey is really centered on the actual health conditions of your hair. If your hair isn’t healthy it really doesn’t matter what hair type you have.  The journey to wearing your hair the way it grows is not an easy one. Knowing the porosity of your hair can make the journey that much easier for you. I did the hair porosity test; how do I care for my porosity type? Low porosity: This hair repels moisture when you try to wet it and hard to penetrate through. Tip: This hair is prone to build-up from protein-rich deep conditioning products, which can leave it feeling stiff and straw-like. Stick to protein-free, daily conditioners with humectants such as glycerin or honey. Use moderate heat with protein-free deep conditioning treatments to help open up the tightly bound cuticle. This hair requires moisturizers ric...

This Thing with Superfoods

Image
I keep reading that Superfoods are great for your body. Are they really?  Well, they are all natural and filled with many nutrients that our bodies crave but don’t receive. They in fact are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of goodness, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It turns out eating them may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prolong life, and people who eat more of them are healthier and thinner than those who don't. So, they really are great for the body. As good as they are for us:  be wise and eat them in moderation.  Some top superfood add ins I found to be great adds to my smoothies: Chia Seeds These do-it-all super-seeds are good for your head with their high content of omega fatty acids that increase healthy brain function, but have also proven to be good for your heart by fighting high cholesterol and heart disease. They even boast a wide variety of nutrients, such as: protein, fiber, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, iron, c...
