New beginnings/Resolutions/and much more! :)

"Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away."

-Barbara De Angelis

Hey lovelies!

It's been a while since my last update and A LOT of things have occurred since then... First off, I want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I know I'm super late, but I hope everyone had a great kick off to the new year.

So...I have been doing some soul-searching and I am making some big transitions/changes in my life. First, I've decided to try to find a job right now (hopefully through Americorps in the nonprofit sector to prepare myself for a career in nonprofit work! I'm super excited and nervous all at the same time...it's going to be a really big change for me, but I my heart is being pulled in that direction. I still haven't decided whether or not I want to devote my life to working with children or whether or not I want to work to help save the environment. Hopefully I will be able to come to the decision soon. If I could find a position that combined both of those things, that would truly be my dream job :D

Ok, I did say that I am making a lot of changes, well, I came up with some resolutions for the new year... Now, I know that most times people make resolutions and then forget about them down the road (I'm guilty of that!)...but I am really determined to change my life and lifestyle...

Here goes...

1. Attend church more often and stop finding reasons to not go...



2. Lose 57 lbs, to get to my healthy weight of 141 lbs.



3. Begin a daily regimen to take better care of myself (morning, nighttime, workout schedule)



4. No more flat ironing my hair...find better ways to naturally stretch and straighten my hair...



5. Do not settle for anything less than I deserve from ANYONE!



6. Try different hairstyles and don't allow myself to be stuck in a rut.



7. Donate clothing that I don't wear to charity



8. Become more organized and more tidy

Another thing that I have decided to do and stick to is to remain celibate until marriage... I have had a hard time doing this because I didn't want guys to lose interest in me..but now I need to focus on myself and build up my self-esteem and sex only complicates things. Besides, I want to wait for the guy that loves me enough to profess before God that he loves me. Please pray for me...

That's about it for this update, I will be back with another one really soon...I just did this really cute hairstyle and I want to upload the video onto the blog so y'all can see :)

Peace,
