Awww! So Sweet! :)

So I go to school with a lot of white people, and they just don’t understand natural hair. But since they don’t understand it, they automatically assume how it looks is how it’s supposed to look, but it’s not. Some days I wake up too late and don’t have enough time to comb it. Other days it just...

Traditional Skills To Learn

In a world ran by technology, business, and success, the art of learning traditional skills and homemaking has been lost. I believe we should all go after our dreams, no matter what they are, but going back to our ancestral roots is a great way to practice mindfulness. Working on traditional skills gives you a sense of satisfaction, wellbeing, grounding, and peace. Here is a list of some ways you can reconnect with yourself and the earth : 

Gardening

Cooking from scratch

Canning food

Pottery

Wood carving

Sewing

Baking bread & making cheese

Learn about herbs and make your own medicine

Crochet

Make jam

Learn etiquette

Decorate your home

Write in cursive

Paint

Make candles

Teach & care for children

Gahh, her hair is beautiful!

An old twist out.

You will be rewarded for all your hard work.

It may seem dark, hopeless and you may think it would be best to just give up. Don’t, be patient. Change takes time, but real change doesn’t come overnight, it comes slowly, day by day. Always remember that the best moment to be happy is right now. Not when you’ve archieved a goal you’ve set for yourself. Right. Now. Is the moment to be happy. Because once you start to appreciate the moment, you can see the little things that really make you happy. The thing that made me the happiest today wasn’t the trip to the city with my mum (sorry mum), not being home, not laying in my own bed for a few minutes, but the moment when my dad called me when I was back at the hospital to ask me how I was. Eventhough he had dropped me off an hour earlier.

Knowing that I’m loved and being encouraged in my battle is the greatest feeling, the biggest reward of all time. So focus on love, happiness and calmness, and you will learn to see true beauty in the little things.

You will not get what you want; you will get what you need and what you fight for. So keep on fighting, never, ever, ever give up.
