Wear it. Don't let it wear you out! : Me and my hair

    So I decided I wanted a new look! Which is always supposed to be fun, right? Well in this case it was a very emotional. Initially I wanted to do a really cool mohawk  and color my hair and just a whole bunch of craziness. But I had to refocus the vision for my look because I realized that my scalp infection was still healing. So all of my hair plans would have to come to a hault. I was so bumbed out I started crying! Ridiculous, right?! I have always been overly comsumed with my hair, always. Infact as long as I can remember my hair has dictated my mood in general. If I dont like the way my hair looks I can never take my mind off of it enough to enjoy the moment or focus on something I want to accomplish. It's been a sick obession of mine for almost all of my life. I hate even wearing a cute outfit if I dont like my hair. So the realization I came to after I was done being dramactic was that, " I AM NOT MY DAMN HAIR!" It really is time to grow-up in 2011. Developing true personal style happens from the inside out. Dressing up is tons of fun but the purpose is to enhance a person's INNER fabulousness. Your style starts in your head. Establishing authentic personal style comes from knowing yourself well. Once agian, I was starting to get caught in what's supposed to be "hot" instead of what's me. I owe myself much better so the hair had to go. Once I came to this decision it made me a little scared because I didn't think I'd be stronger enough to withstand neative criticism from people who didn't understand why I cut it all off. I decided I that I really dont give a FUCK who has anything negative to say about it. I feel free. And LOVE WHAT I SEE! Muuahhh!

I put a number of things back for my BLUE LEATHER/SUEDE jacket. Its gorgeous, its soft, its real leather and I it was only 7 bucks at Value Village.

NY Resolutions:Love what you see

This year I think I will do a little something different. Instead of nixing the resolutions all together I think Im going to redirect the focus of mine to ME and I encourage EVERYONE to do the same. Investing in yourself is a primary stepping stone to success ( I heard that somewhere). When you are happy and taken care of you are in a position to give love and help to others around you. If you are feeling deficient, longing and yearning for things that you think you can get from outside sources you'll never be in a position to help anyone else. The most authentic way to nurture and give love is to start from within. This is what it means to love what you see.

loving what you see: being kind to strangers

I have decided to take part in the one million acts of kindness campaign. However, I think I underestimated how active I have to be to achieve my goals in helping to spread kindness and love. My progress so far has been quite slow as mind has been preoccupied with the burdens of trying to be an adult a be responsible. However, today I received and awesome blessing that brought my recent declaration back to my attention. I was in such a good mood that I gave my last five dollars to a stranger on the train who said he needed something to eat. Being kind to others is the best way to improve your life. The reason for being kind to strangers is just as important to being kind to yourself and your loved ones. It epitomizes the concept of loving what you see. When you help, talk to or even smile at a stranger you acknowledge your connection to the world around you. That is why it is important to respect animals and the environment and money. You have form relationships with everyone and everything, loving relationships. LOVE= STRENGTH . Be strong enough to love your brother, even if he is a stranger.

Do what you love!

    Nothing makes me happier or more excited than searching through racks and piles of moth ball scented goods for hidden treasures. I live in the thrift stores and the flea markets, I dream about rummaging through yard sales and finding curbside freebies to recover these discarded articles , and make them new and beautiful again. To me there is nothing more satisfying; not a degree , not the thought of making a ton of money, not a hot car, not even a hot guy! Well there is one thing, putting my creations to use! The finished product is always a masterpiece. Its my art and it is loads of fun!
       They say the one thing in this world that you would do for free is the thing that you were born to do. Doing what you love versus what earns you the most money, prestige or power makes a phenomenal difference in a person quality of life. It is the between being successful and being completely satisfied and sublimely happy. It unleashes the most powerful part of you that you may have never known existed. It conjures and warm glow that is both attractive and contagious. It is by far the best medicine. It is truly freeing and it is something that I highly recommend. Do what you love. Love what you see. Muuahhh! ~ Ade
