So I noticed this week, which is finishing the fifth week of dreading, that one side of my head just doesn't look right. The rest of my head appears to be dreadding quite well, but then there is that right side. Turns out I do not sleep on my right side much at all.

So how do you change your sleep habits to help dreading? I don't mind waking up to bed dread, but this past week one side just appears to be getting limp and gimpy.

Anyone else experience this, what things have you done to try to change perhaps another habit that has encouraged and discouraged dreading?

This soap seems to be making my hair greasy and stinky. Also my backcombed dreads are on day 6 of their life and today they started coming loose HELP!

So my dreads are 4 days old and I am embracing this. So excited to see where this will take me.

Im almost done dreading my hair its been about 2 weeks now since I started, Ive been easing my way into it and I have maybe 6-7 dreads left to do!! my hair is a wild crazy mess of randomness and I need to tweak it a bit and fix up some loose hairs and such but Im almost there!! :D

Hey fellow dreadies!

Ever get to the point where you were ready to do something great with your life and your self but your friends and family were still stuck in the same place, happy for you, but still didn't get it?

I used to be into heavy drinking, cigarettes, careless party nights, and well ate shitty food on top of that. It all changed for me though on a very special day.

That day it was as if I was paralyzed, on my hands and knees, life flashing before my eyes, as what felt like dark matter, rising through each chakra and exiting my body through my mouth. Tears fell from my eyes when I realized I felt a million times lighter and a million times happier.

I realized I was on a self-destructive path, an unconscious path, a selfish path, and even though I have always had the best intentions, I new I could have more integrity, help more people, be more loving, and accept the love that others, even strangers can give to others out of pure good heartedness.

My life changed in an instant. I started becoming more conscious of what my body would tell me, what foods and what drinks IT really wanted and NEEDED. I started realizing that I brought my energy around others who were vibe conscious, health conscious, and most importantly Earth conscious.

This change came from within but also from without, this fate was chosen for me, I know that I manifested it through my experiences I HAD to go through, but there is also another plan for me. for all of us. That experienced pulled me out of a lost unconscious place and put me on my path studying Yoga and Nutrition to help bring others into this conscious lifestyle.

The issue is that, most of the people in the U.S still live this unhealthy, unconscious, self destructive lifestyle that PHYSICALLY makes a person less conscious, less caring, less loving. I also had a group of friends who could be categorized in that area as well.

Some of my friends, the real friends, accept and love me the way I am and are actually slowly awakening more and more every time I see them, becoming more aware of their surroundings and the society they really live in, not just two feet ahead of them. But theres a large portion of the people I thought were my friends, that still want to get blackout drunk and not give a fuck about other people and who don't help others, nor do they care to ever ask how a strangers day is going.

I still remember the amazing reasons I was friends with them in the first place, but that understanding as let me let them go, this is where peoples paths part.

I guess I'm just sad that more people aren't waking up as fast, or that they aren't willing to listen, or physically can't listen to what it is that will wake them. I suppose this is where the karmic path comes in , making everyone have to do specific things before hitting that point.

In my point of view, being awakened has made life absolutely amazing to the nth degree, being aware of how to change any situation, how to make myself happy beyond all situations, being happy and in love without a thing, and loving my home, the Earth, Gaia wherever I am BUT it's also , lead me to really see people in denial, people who can't help themselves even though there is help. Seeing that people put themselves through abusive relationships and situations intentionally, unconsciously. Human species is, not there yet.

This is my battle, to strengthen myself, follow my heart, accomplish my goals, and spread light to those who want it. Those that come across my path; like a web maybe there are only supposed to be particular people to be awake, to bring that knowledge to the others who aren't. To those that are listening. Watching. Peaceful. Loving. Happy. Keeping the love and light alive on Earth;

I thank you brothers&sisters.

I have been absent from the site for quiet sometime but, here I am to update on my one year progress. Crazies, loops, folds, kinks and frizzes I have been thru it and would not change it for the world. I started of with about 28 dreads now I have or I think I have 54 separated some that were to thick for my taste. There is still one more I would like to desperate just haven't had the time to go thru all of that. One since the beginning has been a trouble maker sticking straight out from the side of my head. I am including some pictures they are not the best but, I feel that at least it is something to see the progress of them. The one that has been sticking out I just fixed by looping it amongst itself. I know that is not the wisest thing to do but to me it is for the best as I do not always want to have my dreads tied up or back and that little bugger would make me a bit self conscious. I rinse my scalp everyday I do it so quick so my actual dreads will not become saturated with water, I wash very good every two days and do a bs/acv once a month just to see how much junk is in them. To my surprise it is not bad at all rinse seems to look a little darker after I am done but, nothing out of the ordinary. I have seen quiet a change in them less frizz some blunt tips other with wispy tips. I just leave em alone to do as they please just make sure to wash them and that is about it. I wear em back for special occasions and can actually french braid also. Looking into more things I can do with them just to keep them nice and neat for work other than that they are always free. Anyways want to keep this short. So this is what my dreads have been up to.

Where did it go? what happened? And why isn't everyone in the street protesting this ridiculousness that is happening right now with north korea and within our own country?! I live in Huntsville and I have heard nothing but missile tests all morning, huntsville just reopened its nuclear fall out shelters and we have debates going on about possibly amending the constitution to enforce stricter gun laws?!?! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE! Is no one else concerned?!

Hey everybody. I am 80% sure I am going to start growing dreads. I'm a little older...about to be 40 in two months. Hair is thinning a little on the crown, but I think that if I can hold out it might not look as bad as I think it will. For now going to let my hair grow for a few more months. It's only been about two months of growth from a buzz cut so far. Wish me luck!!

So far I'm only about a week into dreading, and I find myself taking my sweet time. I suppose it could be because I'm not ready to make the drastic change quite yet. I add a few more dreads every day, but I've slowed down a lot as I get closer to finishing my head. I want to do all of it by myself with out specific sections so it looks more natural and crazy, but at the same time Im terrified how its going to look when its done. I've been wanting dreads for years, since I was a child even, and its taken me so long to do so. I'm trying to become what I have always envisioned myself being, and accentuating my persona. I love my dreads so far <3 absolutely love them, even tho they are off in their own world most of the time I suppose its hard for me to let go of societies standards, and what my friends and family are going to think when they are completely done, but its a journey I personally feel I must take. One step at a time <3 10110_429545410471170_429269277_n.jpg
