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!"

Oh I like it! It's does match your personality :-) did mom tell you Im having surgery again:-( found another small "mass" so they need to go in find out what it is. it's nov. 13th. talk to ya later about it.
Hey Kendra-
Yes, mom told me about your surgery. I am praying for you and that all goes smoothly.Loved Nick's TORNADO costume! kk
Looking good.
I think it's adorable. You'll just have to figure out what you're going to do with that little bit of extra time that you don't need since you don't have as much hair.
Hair. I just can't seem to find anything I like to do with mine. I think we should just all go bald.
:)
Thanks Anon-
Hey don't forget to "Fall Back" We are up way to late! As far as extra time...I will be spending it studying. I just started an Ed.D program. Hope to someday be Dr.KK!
I love it!! The new 'do looks great! I just recently went back to my previously-natural-but-now-it-requires-assistance blonde color. Ahhhh....it feels so good! LOL
I hpe the Ed.D program goes well!
Anon, Adam's with you. He would like to be bald. He thinks hair is a nuisance.
Since KK's keeping the site PG we won't go into details about who she does on her free time, opps I mean what ;)
CHUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL :-)
You know, you do have the power to delete "inappropriate" comments.
Dr. KK, are you nuts? You've got more ambition than I do. Never. No desire to even do something that insane. I'll just enjoy supporting you through this process.
You go girl!
daddy's comment was beyond creepy.
wuv you
Peep- Why are posting comments on my blog at 1AM!!!!!!!!!!
Go to bed!
WUV U 2!
Great haircut. I'll have to tell my sister-in-law about the good dream starting with a good haircut. She's been talking about some new dreams.
Forgot to check the e-mail follow-up comments box before. I don't make time to visit blogs very often - too much going on at our house. Your daughter is beautiful and your nephew's tornado costume was great! I'm still amazed at how how blogs network. Anyway, fun to see what you're up to.
