Road Trip Chronicles

Yesterday a few friends and I Journey to Portland for a birthday celebration .We made stops at French Man's Cove and an unplanned stop at the folly ruins .Portland is know for it many beautiful beaches and rivers however there is a lot more to experience.I recently heard the story surrounding this beautiful structure. It was built in the 18 century and sea water was used to construct the massive house. Undoubtedly the house began to crumble ,despite the infrastructural challenges though  a great deal of the property still stands today .If you are ever in Portland do check it out. I had an amazing day French man's cove was quite refreshing .After a long hectic week it was amazing to just submerge in the clear blue waters. 

This week I also celebrated by 24th birthday.Its crazy to think that I'm already in my mid twenties.How time flies. Grateful for having lived another year,one filled with triumphs ,failures and most importantly lessons. The journey is not in the destination but rather the moments that lead you there.I can honesty see my growth over the past couple of years and for that I am thankful.Here are a few images from our stop at folly.Until next time..........

Mid Year Evaluation

So it’s the 21st of June 2015.This means two things summer is officially here and secondly  approximately six of the twelve months of 2015 have elapsed. I don't know about you but this year has been a particularly challenging one for me but alas I press on. I wanted today to do a little evaluation. Most companies do quarterly or Bi annual evaluation and I believe that we should also employ this strategy to our  personal lives. Do you remember the goals you had on the January the 1, 2015? Are you any closer to them?

It’s time to ask ourselves a few real questions.

Where do I spend most of my time/money?

How far am I from the goals I set out to complete this year?

What are some of the obstacles that have prevented me from attaining them ? 

If you have completed specific goals

What has assisted you in being successful?

If you aren’t where you want to be, don’t be disheartened you still have six months. Use this evaluation as a guide. Where are you wasting time and energy .The first step in fixing a problem is identifying the issues. I know it can be a challenge to many to see things as they are. Especially if they are not what we want them to be, however deluding yourself will not change the situation? After identifying the areas for development the next step is the hardest. Making the relevant change, the only thing constant is change and if you continue to do what you’ve always done. You’ll continue to get the same result. Also please do not focus solely on your shortcoming or the opposite your achievements. Try to list the areas of strength and weakness. Have a clear and accurate view of your current position so you can chart a way forward.

I hope this was helpful and I want to encourage you to keep on working. I will leave with you a few songs of encouragement.

Summer Style 2

If anyone asked what was my go to hairstyle I would definitely say braids. Protective styles are my forte. I love them because they last  a reasonably long time and require little maintenance.I have tried almost everyone in the book for the previously mentioned reasons. My favorite is definitely box braids as an employed student I don't have a lot of time  and this helps me save on time.
