.Haircut

June 11, 2011

Sweet Sebastian Kale got his very first Haircut!! For anyone who know's our family... this is a big deal!! As the years went by, and his hair grew and grew, his grandparents have been begging for a haircut.. Tony and I just couldn't! He had the sweetest little curls at the end of his hair, the hair that he was born with. Although he was constantly being called a girl, his hair definently gave Sebastian his own personality from the get-go.

This summer has been so hot already, and it's technically still Spring. I knew his long hair could be miserable, especially when he wouldn't keep it tied back and it constantly fell in his eyes. I would have killed to keep his curls for years to come, but I had made up my mind.. for his sake, the hair had to go. It took a bit to get Tony on board, but he knows how stubborn I am and I think deep down he knew I was right;).

We tried to make him an appointment and Blayne was busy, so we just went home and put him in his high chair and got to snipping! I had in mind to give him somewhat of a "Beiber shag".. but Tony said no child of his would look like Beiber and he chopped his bangs off short!

Then of course we had to have a little fun and definitely gave Sebastian a mullet. CUTEST trash baby, EVER!

Snip Snip, chop chop...

Annnd, viola! Sebastian and his big man haircut! He definently looks like a little boy now, don't you think?!

Sebastian's first look in the mirror at his new hair. See? He DIDN'T want his hair cut! [only joking, he was actually mad because I wouldn't give him the scissors, lol. He still has yet to make any deal at all about his hair!]

Although I did, at one point, sit down in my kitchen and cry, I'm now happy with the end result. So easy and much cooler for Sebastian :].

.Well Being

“Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when your riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live!” - Bob Marley



I love everything about this quote.. We get one life to live, that we are sure of. It's all we have, so make it COUNT! There is little room left in our lives for negativity, the art of purging it out is a challenge but gives so much reward. It is hard for anyone to stay optimistic everyday, but there are simple practices to keep your self in check, and your being a well one :]

Everyday this week I have woke up with a peacefulness inside of me. A pure and simple love for everything in my life. The stressors are still there, they will never go away but diminish in the shadows of Love's light. All in all...

LIFE IS GOOD.

I'm so very thankful for what I have. And also for the things I don't, because this is what inspires me and give me aspirations for the future. I know what I do have is real and what I want is attainable [with patience] so I feel optimistic about all things in life!

I have found myself in a few seemily deep ruts the past 4-5 years.. now, in retrospect, each was a turning point, and a learning point in my life. I have flouished out of each rut with newly attained knowledge, optimisim and a love and vigor for life. For this I am grateful!!

Currently, if there is any "rut" to be spoken of, it is a lack of funds and a lack of an end goal. Of course money is on everyone's brain.. we are programmed this way. It is difficult to continue to be positive when money is very tight. But you know? This situation has made me more creative in obtaining jobs, and a harder worker. I now appreciate the value of the work I do because it is a complete neccesity for our little family! One thing I have been working on [quite successfully!!] is not compromising my family for money. Where there is a will, there's a way... and I have SO much will in my little heart for my family to be a strong, loving one.. that I know if I turn down an opportunity to make a few bucks for a wonderful close evening with them, we will be provided for. So far, it has worked! It's all the power of Love.

As far as "lack of an end goal"... this is something I've struggled with for the past couple of years. I know I have a LOT of drive, a ton of motivation, some awesome skills and wonderful aspirations... NOW, to narrow them down and go for JUST ONE?! It beats me! My #1 Goal is to be the best Mommy to my kids. #2 find work I love and DO IT. How is this so hard for me? I have a passion for a few things, a love for a lot of things... but to pick just one? I feel like I would be missing out on the rest! So far I have not picked any.. and and I do like my current work, mostly...I just know there is more of me to give and serve a better purpose. But I remind myself if I keep an open mind and generous heart, this too will work out. I want to go back to school to get my bachelors, but for the life of me cannot figure out in what. I would love to continue in my theatre degree but that takes a ton of extracirricular time, of which I am short on. I know if I keep focusing on this, something will make it's appearance to me... I hope!

If it kills me... I will stay positive.
