Crown of My Head Intro: My journey to discovering self love, wholeness, and complete restoration

So here it is September 30, 2013 and this is my first blog of the year. So many things have happened up to this point, so many things I could write about. Although I have a well of experiences to draw from, today is the day that I decided to begin sharing my story. It is the story of a twelve year journey that I have been on, a journey that continues today. I am going to share my secret struggle that I'm sure many women and even men can relate to. It is the struggle to embrace who you are, to love yourself, to be whole and complete apart from the opinions of others. It is the struggle to see your true self as beautiful, to find this beauty, your identity, and a solid self-esteem apart from anything outward and embrace it! I will not only speak of the struggle, but I will tell of the victory and the glory that awaits on the other side of the pain. I will tell of the fears that I continue to fight against but also the strength and the courage I've gained. From the beginning up to this present moment, this is the story of the crown of my head, my story of how something as simple as my hair led me on a life changing journey to discovering self love, wholeness and restoration. My hair triggered my journey, but for you it could be something else you've lost that you depended on for a sense of identity and self-esteem. However your journey began, I pray that strength, courage, love, hope and whatever else one can receive from my story, comes forth through my transparency. To everyone who reads it, be blessed.
