It Is Always A True Blessing To Step Out Of Your Comfortable Zone

Whoever said the price of vanity is cheap      
Must had never stepped into my world      
I have been on this challenge of wearing braids per my bestie      
Sometimes, I wish I just cut a lock of my hair and been done with the notion      
I’m waiting for thunder to be heard on that myth      
      
All in all      
I have worn a collage of hairstyles      
Pinned up      
Ponytails when running or strength training      
A beautiful upswept coiffure      
Unraveling my braids at the end to allow them to softly free fall, cuddling my face      
       
I have had so much pleasure with the diversity the feeling is unsurmountable      
A euphoric natural high when everything is rightfully in its place      
Mentally, Emotionally Spiritually, and Financially      
Not to forget a boost to my morale from my nursing staff and among my professional colleagues      
A sultry diva on the lively streets of New York      
Which brings me to say a hilarious incidence occurred on my way retuning from work      
I got invited by a stranger while in my car at the stop light      
To see the musical Chicago, the offer was respectably declined, this world is filled with less than perfect hidden characteristics      
And I refuse to be a statistical      
I have purchased several Afro-Centric magazines with all the latest trends of the most beautiful worn braids      
Duplicated with sheer perfection      
You would think I was an excited kid in a candy store with the discovery of admiring the strands of my hair      
My brownstone is now stacked with these beautiful illustrations for the next time I want to sit for over eight hours and allow someone of African lineage to assist me in honoring my oath      
I have six more days until I can say I fulfilled my challenge... six long days of being out of my comfort zone      
However, I am not complaining in the least, I totally love my temporary transformation.
