  • So lately I've been wondering "How many locs DO I have?" due to so many requests from my lovely viewers. So ... I made a video! lol I had fun with this one (mostly because of all the crazy captions of my thoughts that I added 😂), and I feel some sort of relief to finally know my loc count, you know what I mean?
    If you read this before watching the video, and you've seen any of my other loc videos (or even if you haven't) ... take a wild guess on the answer and see if you're as shooketh as I was at the actual number of locs I end up with! 😂
    Hope you enjoy lovelies! Peace, love, and blessings! ☮️💙🙏🏿

    35 is a good number. I have 37 and soooo very happy. I just did my first twist after the starter/crochet phase. I bypassed the starter or baby stage. This is my 2nd journey. I had close to 100, smaller locs before and was mad I had to retwist, etc. I aimed for 40 and got 37 and can't be happier. Good job sis

    I can't even tell you how much this video blessed my life. The scriptures from Paul ... Wow... point blank! And the remembrance that if The Most High loves me so deeply, how can I not love me! I listened to it twice and have to hear it again because HE has a lot to say to me through you and my heart is full. Thank you so much Sis. I'm definitely going to pray about putting in the work, especially that work on improving my relationship with God. That truly is everything. Would love to hear more about the Water Detox. Just started my journal writing today. Again, Thank God for you and may he continue to bless every part of your life, in the name of his Son. I mean that with all part my heart.

      This is the page with some more info on the water fast:
      thedetoxnow.com/product-category/fasts/
      I also did a lot of research (and watched a lot of CZcams videos) on Coach Gessie and the two doctors she partners with. I was diagnosed with fibroids when I found out I was expecting my little Prince, and was in severe pain during and even afterward. I was desperate to find some sort of relief that wasn't surgery, and the water fast really helped (I just need to do better with the daily diet now 🥴).
      There's also an app called "Detox Living" I downloaded and there were other people doing the fast that encouraged me as I encouraged them along the way.
      The group has a lot of people with certain health issues that are reversed and healed/improved after following the certain regimens provided (this is how I got into it) ... but there's also others just wanting to detox and kick start things for healthier living and to feel better.
      I hope this blesses you as it did me! 💙

I understand sis, Im also a single mother of 2. Sometimes it feels like life is getting to us but we should never forget our power. To know that you ARE the world, the fruits, the seeds, nature, the waters, love.. the list is ongoing. When we have a lot to deal with and we’re not able to do the things we want, just know that also that is ok. Its okay to rest. And you’re exactly where you need to be right now. One step at the time momma 🩷 Just make sure you’re poring love, patience and acceptance into yourself. All of what you want will adjust to that just beautifully.

      @AyitiKathi Thank YOU beauty! And you're so right, we have the power within us! (Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
      Ephesians 3:20 NKJV.)
      The way my life has been transforming since realizing these things, while operating in this power with the guidance of Holy Spirit ... 🤯🤯🤯. God has truly made us in His image and likeness, and as we seek Him and gain more understanding of these things, there's NOTHING that can stop us from living in our ULTIMATE AND TRUE ABUNDANCE. 🥰
      It's not always easy, but life truly IS BEAUTIFUL! And just as you said, we mustn't forget the little things, to stop and smell the roses, give ourselves grace, and find the right balance for our own individual lives.
