Now, hopes and dreams come in different sizes and shapes. Some are realistic, achievable, require hard work, and stretch you in ways one can never fully comprehend at the start, yet dreams are not out of reach. Some are fleeting. Many are down right selfish! Others are distracting and keep us in a fantasy world rather than reality. I have to admit at times I get wrapped up in dreaming instead of doing! Dreams can be in conflict. If you dream for one, then you know you will never have your other dreams. For example. I dream about having the luxury of tasting every great dessert on the planet, well if I really want to accomplish that dream then I am more than likely going to have to give up the dream of having a smokin' body! Dreams will prompt you to ask "What will be?, What does the future hold?, What dreams are worth working towards and making part of your reality? Dreams are personal. The best dreams have God's anointing!
I thought it was finally time to stop chasing one dream and turn it in for another! Amputation was going to be a requirement! My long hair had in my mind become the symbol for that crazy dream that seemed to chase me from night and throughout the day. It was not healthy, but I kept it refusing to let that dream die! I kept reviving it... but you know what, it was not longer looking good, it was holding me back, weighing me down. It was not a good fit any longer.
Today, I was ready to give it up! It is weird. I made a hair appointment more than a week ago. I thought I might just cut my bangs, was not even thinking I was ready to give up my long hair. But over the past few days, my vision has changed and I was ready.
I am picking up a new dream... a dream that requires me to have a smart, edgy, wash & wear haircut. My stylist, Maggie said, "You look like a new person. This haircut matches your personality...a little bit fiesty! In the future, you all may want to quote me "All good dreams start with a good haircut!"
