Encouragement

Fiiirrrsssttt of all I want to say a Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, no matter what you and yours celebrated or didn't. :P

Man have I missed coming here. I really have. I think about you all often, and every time I log in it's like there are 100 new members! Haha and That is awesome!!

My hair is still taking quite a while. I think it's been 5 months since I stopped combing it. I am actually feeling a bit discouraged right now. I have ONE baby dread that has done a lot of progressing, but the rest of my hair is just... bleh. I have not been able to blow dry it or anything. I have had a really stressful couple of weeks or so and I have had to let a good friend go because her husband... I don't like to say things like this but the only logical explanation I have is that he is jealous of my husband and me. And on top of that he's got some other issues. He has been causing our family a LOT of problems and even though we never really had much contact with him. A hi here and there, and that's it. Over the new year I did my own little makeshift ritual to release negativity from the "old" year and reject it from the new year. And I made a resolution to keep a cool head about everything and not worry so much. After having to let my friend go a couple of days ago I feel like I want a fresh start and I have seriously considered combing out my ONE lock and cutting my hair. But I really, really, really, do not want to do that. I have put a good amount of emotional/mental work into locking my hair up and I don't want to mess it up now. And that is why I am posting in "Help! Save My Dreads." haha. :/

Any words of encouragement or any tips would be really helpful right now, if anyone can find the time to read my post. I would really appreciate it. Blessed be! )O(

I think I will try that. I don't want to rush them but at this point the way I feel about everything else, I feel like if I don't get them going I won't want them anymore and then will regret it if I change them. If that makes any sense. I will check out the link you posted.

Thank you

If I can't get the shampoo right now would you suggest trying the gel? Or use the shampoo before the gel? lol. :/

K now I am a theoretical Pagan and not much of a practical one. Lol. Any way you could help me out with how to go about it? And thank you for reminding me about the timing.

id say smudge them, but wait until the moon has passed its full moon and is waning. thatll be the best time to get rid of negativity and do a good cleansing. tomorrow is the full moon by the way...so any time after tomorrow night you should be good.

)o( blessed be and good luck

Hi Sweetie

Sorry you have had a bumpy go due to your friend's husband. Friends come into our lives for a reason or a season or both, and when the purpose has been served, sometimes we have to just let 'em go. Can be painful, I know. The fact that your journeys now diverge in no way diminishes the lessons and joys you have shared.

((hugs)) from the Hinterlands!

Thank you Janice. That's a very thoughtful comment, and true to boot. *hugs*

id get both whn u can the shampo is availiable now the gel might take a week or even 2 to get ready to ship

both make a big diference but the gel maybe most drastic

Sage is so wonderful. There was a guy at our local drum circle who used to bring sage once in a while and smudge it as he danced around the bon fire. It was so great. He brought such a great vibe to the circle
