I often run into people who share with me dreams and visions they once had that were never fulfilled. These dreams were deferred not because they didn't have the skills or talents to pull it off, but LIFE simply happened. Something or someone became more of a priority and they had to put their vision on the back burner. I always try to encourage them and remind them that it's never too late to start over and pursue their dreams.

Then for some, they never take time away from their busy lifestyles to focus on themselves and what they desire. They may view it as being selfish, but I see it as self-preservation. There's nothing wrong with sowing into yourself and your vision; you are WORTH IT!

I want to encourage you to carve out some time for yourself. Use that time to determine what steps you need to take to make your deferred dreams a reality. And most importantly, start regularly practicing self-care. Meditation is a great and free self-care practice. Use your meditation time to focus on what you desire and things you want to accomplish. Be encouraged and love on you!

In 2014, the Accented Glory Naturals Facebook group hosted a healthy scalp challenge. Healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair. Like a vegetable garden needs good soil to produce good crops; a healthy scalp yields healthy hair.

Properly caring for your scalp can also be beneficial for your overall health. Scalp care is relaxing and relieves tension. Check out 4 questions at Dear Curl Friend that we answered for our Facebook group members from the challenge!
