Self-Simple Evaluation of Life & Future
Hello Sustahs! I hope you are well and life is good. Much
is going on with the economy and financial world on the brink of disaster.
It is a lesson for all of us to spend and save wisely. We must not live
above our means.
Recently, I watched a report on WFLD - Fox News Chicago regarding women and their hair. The report stated that 30% of African-American sustahs do not exercise because they do not want to mess up their hair. One woman who was interviewed stated that she did not have time to exercise; however, she had time to go to the hair salon every week. Others stated that they spend too much money to mess up their hair while exercising. The sustahs in the segment were worried about their sweating out and kinking up.
Well, it is time to rethink this phenomenom. A large percentage of African-American women suffer from heart disease, high cholestral, high blood pressure, diabetes. various types of cancer and obesity. That is a long list of ailments that sustahs do not have to live with if they just exercised. Sustahs, we are dying! Worry about your health as much as you worry about your hair. How many of you have a standing appointment at the beauty shop, but can't remember the last time you had a mamogram or a pap smear? How many of you have paid for a membership at the health club ,but have never step foot in the place? How many of you have researched what the chemicals in hair care products may do to your body or scalp over time? When you die from an avoidable disease, your friends and family will look down at you in your coffin and say, " Wow, her hair sure looks good."
Unfortunately, we are taught at a young age to over-stress about our kinky, curly, nappy and beautiful hair. Do you know that a large percentage of sustahs cannot swim (never learned) because they do not want to get their hair wet? Swimming is one of the best overall execises that you can do. Walking is a good exercise and it is free! Guess what sustahs, you can walk a mile or two every other day and your hair will be just fine when you are done.
It is nothing wrong with wanting to look beautiful. You can spend as much time at the beauty shop as you world like. Begin to make some important choices regarding your health. Whether you have natural or permed hair it takes time to keep it looking good. You can have beautiful hair and great health at the same time. Get your priorities straight! Let's live to be healthy and naturally beautiful on the inside and outside.

Sustahs have a fantastic month!
