Happy new year and welcome back…it’s been a while and I just want to say thank you to everybody who follows me…may your own journey for 2017 bring you hope, new challenges, change, and gratitude for how far you’ve come and your accomplishments! I’ve just been reflecting on 2016 and here are some of my thoughts as I look back.

  1. Life is an adventure!
    If you would have asked me three years ago if I’d be living in England married to an Englishman and pursuing my career… I would’ve said you are crazy! But that’s the fun thing about life you never know what’s around the corner. Life is a journey and every day is a choice to make a difference and move forward to progress in life. Stay positive look for the good because you never know what’s around the corner.
  2. Take risks
    This can be scary to some… But I look at it as challenges in life. We have all been knocked down once or twice and with age comes wisdom(sometimes;)) with that said don’t let the past scare you from taking calculated risks to achieve new/great things. Follow your gut!
  3. Travel
    I love traveling and with each new place I go it brings me a new perspective and a new outlook. I realize we live in a BIG world with so many different ways of doing things and lots of different perspectives.
  4. Working smart
    Sometimes we are so busy working or staying busy we get caught up and forget to enjoy the journey, take a step back, ask for advice from people you admire and respect who have achieved that which you aspire to. Make a plan and execute it..doesn’t mean it will always work out the way you think it will but maybe just maybe it will be even better than you thought or dreamed!
  5. Connections
    I believe we are all connected. People come into our lives that are there to show us something, teach us something or help us grow, how you move forward with this is up to you.
  6. Don’t dwell on others negativity
    I’m very sensitive to negative energy I feel I’m a very happy positive person and I love being around energetic positive people that are looking for the best in life! I feel others negativity are a reflection of their own personal issues. Surround yourself with people who are optimistic and loving and you will never be steered the wrong direction.
  7. Take action
    We can all talk about doing things…talk about our dreams…talk about big things but until we take action it will never be. I’d rather try and fail then never try at all. The strong people in life never have easy journeys….it’s the choices that we make every single day that will create our life and our success!
  8. Take care of yourself
    I’m passionate about this one….we have to take care of our mortal bodies-nourish them, rest, stimulate our brains, exercise our bodies. We must first take care of ourselves so that we can then take care of others.
  9. Have fun
    I’m such a yellow personality that without this element life is boring to me! I love the motto “work hard play hard”. To me it’s the essence of life. Accomplishing things in life are things only you can do for yourself! It’s a joy that can’t be given only earned. It comes with sacrifice but so worth the reward!
  10. HAIR
    Last but certainly not least… HAIR! I have cocreated a hairline and training called NaturalX that will soon be exclusively in London. I am so excited about this as it has taken lots of years and hard work to get to where I am. I’ve been in the hair industry nearly 20 years and I am excited about where things are headed and the opportunities that await!

Cheers to 2017! May your hair be fabulous and your aspirations larger than life!
