If you were to ask me if I perform all 10 of the healthy habits (that I'll be presenting to you shortly) every day, the answer is a big, emphatic NO! But if you were to ask me if these health habits are all near and dear to my heart and have been proven to … Continue reading Back to Natural Basics: 10 Healthy Habits to Carry Out Daily
Happy Monday, All! It's kind of unbelievable to think we're entering into the last quarter of 2020 (but not too unbelievable).

My return back to my natural hair was not an over-the-night, cold-turkey transition. I definitely didn't ever contemplate doing the "big chop" and starting over with a whole new set of newly-grown locks. In fact, my transition was a deliberate and slow one over time.

Surprised, because it, quite frankly, was one of those pivotal turning points in my life -- almost a mindset shift about the beauty … Continue reading Back to Natural Basics: Back to My Natural Roots
I contemplated whether or not I would go ahead and publish this post or just wait until this coming Friday, but I just couldn't help myself. It's difficult to let huge gaps of time go by without visiting with you and letting my writing therapy do its inner healing. Truly, I count it a privilege … Continue reading Family Responsibilities Come Before Content Marketing Every Time
Children being active is about as natural of a basic tenet in life as they come. I'm constantly reminding myself of this very true fact, as Little Man starts his fifth-grade year of school. He'll be doing virtual school from home (through his magnet elementary school), and that makes it even more critical that I … Continue reading Back to Natural Basics – Reblog: Homeschooled, Not Housebound
