A new me!!!!

Recently I couldn't help but notice that I am embarking on a new journey. As the new school year approaches, I will be with a different team. My new team shares the same beliefs as the old but for some reason this seems RIGHT!! My principal had made this analogy about a school feeling like it's right. I don't know about you guys but once that women's intuition hits that's all she wrote. So needless to say my 6th sense is working for the greater good.

Recently I had a lot of time to ponder and figure out what is going well and what needs some work. Since I've left my old situation (job) I couldn't help but be reflective and think about the true and real me. I'm finding that I'm a work in progress and though I may not have all the answers, a higher power is working on me. Usually when I have epiphanies as such I do something drastic. Cutting my hair is the and all be all to take care of my stresses and tresses. So last week, I decided to go to Aveda Institute and get a hair cut. I didn't want anything too drastic but decided on an asymmetrical bob. Recently I have gained such inspiration from Antoinette from Around the Way Curls that I decided to get my hair healthy again. Last week I had crunchy ends and to add to my arsenal of trying to get my hair healthy, was the fact that my edges are thinning. That in itself has forced me to change from being able to have a pineapple and high bun (signature do's) to being a little more into wash and gos.

So to make a long story short, I get to Aveda expecting one of the natural sistas to do my hair and when my name is called a young white girl shakes my hand. Needless to say I was biased right away. A white girl doing my hair? What the hell does she know? and to add fuel to the fire all the black girls in the salon were staring at her do my hair. In the shampoo room we had some words but after that I went mum. I watched her every move. I saw how she straightened my hair and used her sheers to cut my straight hair. After she finished I could not see the full hairstyle because she hadn't straightened my hair completely. Thank goodness for her coach that came over and taught her in the moment how to straighten my hair. When the coach was done, I looked brand new and shiny. Lol. And the cost of my experience was a wonderful $30. Yes lawd. Thank ya. He knows its a recession. Lol #imjustsaying.

So needless to say I had my doubts about my white stylist, but she was legit. So in September I have another hair appointment with her.
