While I continue to try to process all that has happened in the last 4 months, I thought I'd share some random thoughts and insights.
Before I left Kenya, I got my hair cut shorter than it's been in some time. I was telling everyone it was easier to manage- and it is. It's cooler and easier to manage.
The truth is, I haven't felt "pretty " enough to have short hair in years. My very round body made me feel like I needed to hide behind all that hair.
The good news is that while we were in Kenya I lost about 25 pounds. I started to feel better - more comfortable in my own skin. And as I felt more comfortable I thought - go for it.... Cut that hair.
And now it's shorter... and I am less round ( with additional roundness to shed)... Yes, eating better and less has been great. Moving more and walking more has made me feel so much better.
There is still stress... but I find it easier to rely on God now... and I am diggin' my short hair.
