and i will not dissapoint you!!!!

=D

ok i went to bronner bros show last weekend and broke my phone

i'll update ab that another time

but the RIGHT now

IS

i had to order another phone b/c i pretty much hated the phone i had and

i went to the t-mobile store..

just to play with the mytouch phone that just came out

and i fell in LOVE

with this htc touch pro2

the price tag is still severely hurting my feelings

and i pretty much clicked upgrade while closing my eyes

i'm really mad at myself im returnin it ASAPP

im glued to the computer..bored..and its sickening

MISSION: MASTER THE WORLD OF WEAVES

I did a horrible job braiding a client up for a sew in on Friday...

it's really been on my mind since then

I'm trying not to let it break me but let it driveee me to do better..

I feel like I'm getting WAY too comfortable where I'm at...

I think I've forgotten that the job was actually the start of my CAREER

I think I've forgotten that I'm at this job not just to make money and go home but to learn and soak up every possible thing I can...

People don't have this opportunity and the way I work now is a direct reflection of how my career is going to be when I start taking clients

When I come home I check all my social networks and blogs and go to bed...

I have 2 mannequins here...

If i braided them up every day when I came home

I may have had braiding MASTERED by now

This may sound stupid or like a dumb rant...

but braids are the base of a weave...

if the braids are too big the weave is gonna be too lumpy..

if the braids aren't tight enough the weave is gonna be loose

if there's too much space between the braids the weave is gonna be sparse lolol

EVERYBODY wears weaves ....nuff said

SOOOO INSPIRED BY THIS TODAY

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so

that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,

we unconsciously give other

people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,

our presence automatically liberates others."
