"I absolutely LOVE my job and seeing my clients each time is a joy as I love watching their journey grow too!"

that's wonderful! you've reached a space that most are still working towards.

"How holistic-friendly is your area?"

it seems holistic-friendly, but that may be just because i look for those types of situations and find them. heh heh.

"What is your opinion on complementary and conventional medicine?"

both have their purpose, but i like to focus on prevention purposes now a days.

"Do you find that people in your country/city are open to natural health options?"

it seems like it. there are few health food stores and even a raw/vegan/vegetarian restaurant. several alternative health practitioners, too!

"How often do you use holistic health in your life - do you take classes, go to a therapist, supplement your diet with herbs etc?"

it seems like it's integrated into my life at the moment via my food choices and chosen activities.

"Have you become more health conscious since becoming natural (hair)?"

yeah, after i released the "relaxed" hair i began to make certain connections in other parts of my life. those connections led me to make changes regarding what i consumed and what i allowed into my (mental) space.

2010-01-20T21:52:22.587Z

I LOVE Valerie June's hair too but she is NOT a freeformer. She is actually a semi-freeformer. I actually had the opportunity to meet her and I asked her how she started her locs. When she first started out her locs were too thin so she combined them and from there she began semi-freeforming. So for those of you with convention locs, there is a way to have organic looking locs without having to start over. PS: She also used beeswax to twist her locs *gasp*

2010-01-18T18:26:20.021Z

You ask great questions. I used to watch religiously Sex and the city but the more I rewatch the episodes, I am mad! For once, it wasn't realistic. How can Carrie a columnist afford all of these shoes/handbags? For the longest time, I thought that I needed to look a certain way to be accepted somewhere.
Then, Carrie was too obsessed about men and you never had a message that said it is not wrong to be single, follow your dreams and be You instead of obsessing about Mr. Big and who did you last night.
Personally men don't throw themselves at me and I rarely get male attention. I used to compare myself so much and those shows didn't help. Today, I accept that it is okay to be single and focus on myself, work on myself because if I am meant to meet someone, then I'll be ready and won't enter the relationships with lots of insecurities and other emotional baggage. However sex and the city made me feel like it is wrong to be single..except of course for the single ladies episode.

Then, sex and the city never really talked about relationships between women. It presented them under competition. In my world, getting together a group of women without drama is...well I haven't seen that yet.
Shoot, in real life Carrie and Samantha can't stand each other.

anyways...to conclude I don't think SATC portray positive image for modern women. We never saw black women/ latinas/ full figure women..none of that

you feel images of women (like in Sex And The Ciy) potray a positive image for modern women?

How do we find the balance between celebrating our past and present?

What do you think our generation/era of women will be remembered for?

2010-01-18T01:48:00.403Z

I've had locs for 9 yrs and I'm now in the process of transitioning back to loose hair. Locs have really helped me in my journey towards womanhood ( had it from age 18 to 27) and I feel that I'm about to enter into a new era of my life and it's time to detangle myself from them.

Plus, they have become a clutch to me and it's really a hard process letting them go. I'm scared and nervous.... But I just feel as if it's time.

when I started locs Jan, 2001, I thought that I'd have them forever.
Feels as if I'm giving up my identity... I would no longer be called ras or princess by random strangers... lol! It's crazy!

But, I think that I have gain alot of courage through the locing process that will help me now in this new transition.

I couldn't see the video but she has always looked amazing to me, just never seems to age. I also think that this is genetics and good care so unless I'm proved wrong, I love her!

I don't think locs are just a cover up. It takes commitment, patience, self-love to grow locs and it is also a lifestyle.
