Hair...Health? (18/12/2012 02:55)

As of late, meaning late last week to this point my symptoms have been returning. I have no clue why. Or at least I dln't think so. My arm, shoulders, knees, black of neck have begun hurting once again. Could it bed due to my alternating between trihemic and B complex tablets? Of stress? Of the latter: How do I deal with it considering how calm I feel?

I'm just curious. I need to get the tests Dr. Moulon sent me for: $320. My spectacles broken In half on Friday or Thursday As I was Cleansing them In the shower and the lens also need upgrading: $1300.

So, some sabbaths ago my gran brought home the news that relaxing one's Hair can cause brain cancer. I tool this extremely seriously and conferred with a well informed friend and his comments led me further into thd decision that I would not relax my Hair again. Unfortunately, while turning the idea over In my mind As to how I would deal with my thick, Kinky Hair As it grows I realized I couldn't do it. It takes me hours to give the appearance of my Hair looking ridiculous When it is not relaxed. That was why I relaxed it In the first place, to make it easier to handle and give me the appearance of being put together. I shared this tidbit with my friend As well to which he replied that there was another way to straighten my Hair with a lime solution. Research provide him correct. Having found the (Coconut milk and) Lime solution I tried it out In Sunday. It worked. To make sure though I left it In my Hair for longer than recommended. My Hair has not been relaxed in three months prior.

In addition, it would seem that it has even done an extra something to my hair which feels and looks great with an added bouncy well moisturized look and feel to it. But we'll have to wait to see of this is really another added benefit. Did I mention that the ingredients are extremely inexpensive? I'll get specific with you after a little more investigation. The only things that may seem out of the way (for others) is that the concoction may need to bed placed very medium heat to thicken and (for me) a dryer is required to activate the solution. However, these problems can both be eliminated. For the first, use 'thick' Coconut milk and for the second use a steam cap. I used the one with the foil-like texture which does not need to be plugged in and it served its ourpose and more since I also used it When conditioning my hair.

This has brought a little more peace and contentment to my slot in the world.

Straighten Kinky Hair

Ingredients and Items:

1 tin Coconut Milk
2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 tbsp. Lime Juice
3 tbsp. Corn Starch

1 Steam Cap or Dryer

Method:

In a large bowl, mix Coconut Milk and extra virgin olive oil until it blends. In another bowl, mix corn starch together until lump-free. They combine both mixtures. Put it over medium heat and whisk. You are not cooking they mixture, but activating they cornstarch  which should thicken and bring the mixture to a conditioner type consistency. If it is too thin, add a bit more cornstarch. If they Coconut milk is thick there is no need for the cornstarch.

Apply to hair in sections. Cover your head with a plasric and steam for 30 minutes under a Dryer. Or simply use a steam cap to do the task.

Put the remainder In a plastic and freeze for the next time.

Shampoo your hair thoroughly and treat it with your regular conditioner/treatment. When washing your hair for the last time use cold or lukewarm water.

Additions....Healing? (11/12/2012 12:13)

So I've been desperately trying to stay away from erotica, the verbal, written, and visual. In most parts there has been great success. The strategy was or is to stay as far away from it as is possible. Because I am or was in the constant habit reading and critiquing them, it is easy to discern if a  book or novel is of the genre in the first lines or page. With this and the turning away from sensually, sexual depictions and staying far from acquaintances and colleague who are enticed by things of the sort, and with heavy doses of prayer and supplication has the temptation been dulled and set down.

Today, however, I picked up and read the first thirty-three pages of a Nora Roberts book fully well knowing that it was romance (also a weakness) and I enjoyed it in innocence  It didn't give me the urge to have more of it. The urge I got was to read more. There is something about reading suspense, thrillers, and detective that captures me and there is something about writing as well that entangles me. I think the major aspect was that the two main characters were writers: one a fiction writer focusing on horror; and the other a magazine writer with the desire to write fiction. It felt good reading about us, having our quirks, differences, feelings validated. Writing fulfills my every desire. I think :-)

Decisions (11/12/2012 00:03)

Present happening:
I think I just hurt a friend in Trying to be entirely honest. Now I'm feeling pained. However, I have since made an amends of sorts by having the person promise to tell me his problem. It feels much better, not perfect but less burdened.

Decisions:

Over the last years I have been Wondering where I'm headed and it is my belief ghat I comd to ths point shere I am positive of how I wan to Life my personal and professional life. I want fhem to be synced so perfect tly that their end and begin appear, after deep scrutiny, to be indistinguishable. It is my desire to live and be of the Life I want. Both should be ruled by the exact principles, and neither should become less important because of the other.

This will be extremely difficult especially with mg black of time management. However, with the elimination of certain aspects space, gime, and peace become available for the important. The most important goal, task, things in my world is helping people, making them feel happier, healthier, freer, more at ease in their own skin, loved, precious, meaningful in self, existence and t the world. What is also of importance, is me feeling this way as well, and the things which enable me to feel everything above is the use and expression of my talent for the betterment of persons. Yes, what I've just written is entirely circular and for that reason the decision I am or have made seems...justified. To complete the work I have set before me it requires unfaltering dedication which cannot be given If I decide to form a family.

And there one could interject, 'I bet she's just sad about not finding Mr. Right.' However, I have found him. At least I found what I,very been looking for: someone who respects, trusts, accepts, appreciates, values, and cherishes me and what I bring to them table. Prior to writing this I have extensively thought about the possibility of marrying this wonderfully capable man, and in doing so I've realized I could lose the friend I have in him and my dream...simultaneously and that is too much to handle. I love my friend. I enjoying our friendship which can last for the next fifty plus years but I am not ready to take any unnecessary risks. The only saddeningly unfortunate thing that can happen for me is him marrying in the near future. And still, though that would be excruciating it would remain on a level lower than the lack of a dream or dreams fulfilled.

This will be tumultuous but nothing of significant substance is ever easy. The understanding that there will be opposition from confidantes to strangers is present. But my aim, my will is too big to be deterred for want of normalcy where it has never existed. With the path presently being designed, it is intended that peace and happiness will dwell with a strong dose of contented aspirations. Having gotten to this point in the entry I'm remembering, I'm being reminded that God is the Leader. He is the one upon whom I should depend for the writing and designing of life's path. He is the One who decides the job or jobs which I must accomplish, and He is the one sets the time. But honestly, I just don't want to be hurt again, and I want to help people, and do so from without the box.

May God add His blessings unto me, and the works which my hands have and will do. Amen.

It's Been Awhile (30/11/2012 21:15)

While plugging in they tablet my intention was to use the Bible app and write a poem. However, having plugged it in, turned it on, reorganized the folders and opened a new note I am in the mood to blog. I have not done something like this in an extremely longe time. Apparently, I am yearning for it more than my conscious self can discern.

Lately, Life has been good, busy, but good. The Lord has helped me tremendously in academics and emotionally. On a regular basis battles are engaged on varying fronts. But that is Life and though it gets terribly difficult and disheartening at times...I am enjoying it with the Father. I could not be doing any of this: being happy, and free, and totally me without Him.

I am blessed, and aware, and grateful for both factors.

I am tired as well and this is all I'm producing before turning in on this another Hallowed Sabbath.


Peace, Love, and Blessings
