    Time-Lapse Photography: Natural Hair Shrinkage | Personal Musings

    Sunday, March 16, 2014

    Those who really know me know that I absolutely adore my natural hair shrinkage. You also know that I love photography and the ability that it gives me to capture the small details to tell a larger story. It was placed on my heart a while ago to chronicle the beauty of natural hair shrinkage via time-lapse photography in order to bring awareness to what I believe is a magical journey; something unique to only those of us who were blessed with this texture of hair.

    I was finally able to complete the project over the weekend! I am really excited to share this video with you all. My hope is that when I share it with the community it will spark a conversation about natural hair and bring more awareness to an aspect of the African American make-up that has been hidden for quite some time. I hope that you will be informed as well as entertained after watching.

    Photo Chronicle: Why Sweat the Small Stuff? | Personal Musings

    Monday, September 16, 2013

     

    Ever found yourself stressing out about some random thing that you felt you had no control over? So much so that you lost sight of the bigger picture? When we stress out about things that we have no control over, life seemingly becomes small, harsh and colorless. We hide behind things...Hope dissipates...We become cynical, hard and distrustful...Smiles are limited...Tension creeps in...We feel helpless.




     
    But when we put things into perspective and remember that our lives are bigger than just us, we can approach life with a new-found vibrance. Life becomes brighter...Warmer...Open...We can relax a bit...Breathe deeper...Smile more...And even find rest in the midst of the situation.






    So when you find yourself stressing out, over-analyzing and just digging for nothing good, pause...Breathe...Think bigger than the 'right now' and say to yourself, "don't sweat the small stuff". When you look back on the situation, you'll be glad that you listened to you.
