So funny. This is the hairstyle that takes me * literally * like 29 seconds to do, and yet I've had folks tell me I look like I spent hours on it. Nope. Just one innocent hair tie holding it up and together. That's it. Will need to post better photos of it at some point, lol. This'll do for now. Dreads are so versatile and FUN. ☺ #dreadlocks #dreadies #dreads #dreadstyles #dreadstylesforwomen #dreadlockstyles #dreadhead #dreadlife #dreadlock #dreadjourney #dreadheadsdoitbetter

Well, here I go back at it loading up for a photoshoot. After months of being humbled by these crutches, I'm slowly reintroducing myself to doing photo sessions with clients again. It's amazing the things we take for granted until we lose them and have to work hard to get them back, like simply being able to walk. In my case, I'm working hard everyday to get my hip healthy again and battle through osteoarthritis. And you know what? The cool thing is I'm getting there, bit by bit. Each day so far brings more strength and a little less pain, woot! And it's so flippin' neat to see the actual cartilage growing back when the doc does imaging.

I have gained an entirely new perspective and empathy for people dealing with chronic pain. Before all this, I didn't get it. Physical fitness was my thing, and it came easy to me. Talk about learning a life lesson. Everyone is dealing with some kind of personal battle ( be it physical or emotional) , so be patient with people. And if you see someone with crutches, a cane, a walker, wheelchair, etc, then hold the door for them. Be kind. Be friendly. Don't judge, because it could be you one day.

Yes, I'm still on crutches, and yes, I have a long way to go, but so far I'm slowly moving in the right direction, and I thank God for it. The photo session went well by the way. At the last minute, I decided to do it on ONE crutch instead of two... It was a success! Here's to baby steps! #feelingblessed #theprocessofbecoming #beatingosteoarthritis #osteoarthritis #crutchlife

Fully transparent moment. Yes, this just happened. Oh life. People look at my head of locs and think I have it all figured out.

NOPE!

Turns out this sad little dread was hanging on by just a few hairs, so I decided to pull it out. It was also attached to another dread I had combined it with, so it's not like I pulled it directly from my scalp. Still. it hurt to see it go (emotionally). It's not the first loc I've lost (I ever tell you about the time I got one stuck in the kitchen cabinet? True story!) I'm sure it won't be the last I lose. Of course no one will notice the difference, and overall my locs are doing well, so life goes on.

All this to say, sometimes you gotta role with the punches. 😁

That super peeved look I get when it takes me twice as long to slog through emails, thus delaying my chance to get to the pool for exercise. Once upon a time I used to spend almost all of my time hunched over my computer. That time is (mostly) no more, because frankly it's downright unhealthy.

These days, I take exercise very, very seriously, especially as I work towards my goal of relearning to walk. We should all be working towards some type of goal in life, whether it's training for a marathon, or simply wanting to stay healthy so we can enjoy more time with family. ❤

Okay. Enough tech time. I'm off to the pool. Let's go for our goals! 🐳

Taking a moment to relax in the grass and breathe deep after aqua therapy. Did you know actual studies show being in direct contact with the earth has positive benefits for our bodies? Lowering inflammation (a huge cause of many diseases) and pain reduction being among the notable benefits. Today in our modern world, we rarely come into contact with the earth, but we need it like we need air and water. I know I sound like a hippy, but it's true. It's science, and it's the way God made us. How cool! #earthing #grounding #theprocessofbecoming

Reaching humble goals!! A half mile. Can't walk without crutches yet, but I can finally pull myself onto an elliptical machine and use it. 😀 It's been forever since I've been able to do a half mile of anything. For the last couple months, each week (sometimes each day) brings something new I can do, and a little bit less pain.

By the way, I don't know why this thing says my heart rate was zero. That would make me a zombie. It most definitely was above zero!

Surgeons told me I'd need a hip replacement if I wanted to get my life back. I've chosen to try a different path. #mylegsaretired #goals #osteoarthritis #theprocessofbecoming
