to keep on keeping on...

take care.
that's todays post.
to keep on keeping on a path that doesn't seem to be going anywhere some days, one has to STOP and take care of what needs to be taken care of. The basics.
In growing ones hair out that means...using a good shampoo and conditioner. Getting a deep conditioning treatment. Coloring ones roots.
I did all three this last 2 weeks. I went to the beauty supply chain and bought great shampoo and conditioner. I colored my very bleached out blond craziness to a beautiful red brown. I got an Awapuhi treatment done and will continue to maintain it with the new shampoo and conditioner.
It truly is amazing what these little steps can do for your hair.

For the soul, the body, the mind we must do these things as well. To grow we cannot remain static, but there are times where we must take a time out to do soul care. A mental health day.
Pamper your soul.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN KRISTEN?
Well, it means figure out what that means to you.
For me, I find myself nurtured in nature. Sunshine. Water. Seasons changing.
I know that a good cry can cleanse my soul opening it up to health and growth and change.
Positive reinforcement: A great deep conditioning treatment. Finding a new quote to help you nourish your soul, your mind, your heart.
Find a new hobby. Painting often does this for me. Or card making. Because I'm giving in the midst.
Find a place to give of yourself. I'm going to start volunteering at a local women's shelter. Offering pedis or foot rubs or a spa day or hair cuts. I can't wait!
So, friends, fans, family...keep on keeping on. Take care of your hair! Take care of your soul. Growth is right around the corner. It always is!!!
