I‎ was‎ thinking‎ about life‎ this‎ morning.‎ Funny‎ how‎ we‎ will‎ have‎ our‎ minds‎ made‎ up‎ about‎ some‎ thing‎ and‎ then‎ let‎ some‎ one‎ talk‎ us‎ out‎ of‎ it.‎ When‎ you‎ think‎ about‎ it‎ it’s‎ dangerous.‎ I‎ remember‎ when‎ I‎ was‎ about‎ 20‎ years‎ old.‎ I‎ went‎ to‎ my Atlanta‎ hair‎ dresser‎ and‎ I‎ told‎ him‎ I‎ wanted‎ to‎ dye‎ my‎ hair‎ purple. I had my mind made up and I was ready.‎ I‎ was‎ so‎ serious, I had the picture in my hand and everything.‎ The purple was not a bright‎ purple‎ but‎ a‎ deep‎ subtle‎ purple‎ like in the‎ magazine.‎ I‎ figured‎ it‎ would‎ be‎ the‎ perfect‎ time‎ in my life to‎ get‎ purple‎ hair.‎ So‎ I walk into the salon‎ confident and showed‎ him‎ the‎ picture.‎‎ He‎ looked‎ at‎ the‎ picture and‎ looked‎ at‎ me‎ and‎ said‎ “you‎ sure‎ you‎ want‎ purple‎ hair”.‎ I‎ said‎ yes‎ then‎ he‎ said something to the effect‎ “I‎ don’t‎ think‎ you‎ want‎ that color, I think you want something else”‎ and turned the chair around‎ .Then‎ I‎ begin‎ to‎ doubt‎ myself‎ did‎ I‎ really‎ want‎ purple‎ hair.‎ Then‎ he‎ said‎ with a smile I‎ will‎ give‎ you‎ a‎ color‎ that‎ I‎ really‎ think‎ you‎ will‎ like.‎ So‎ I‎ said‎ okay, thinking it would be close to purple.‎ I‎ proceeded‎ to‎ let‎ him‎ color‎ my‎ hair‎ when‎ he‎ turned‎ me‎ around‎ in‎ the‎ chair, I was excited.‎ I‎ held‎ the‎ mirror‎ to‎ my‎ face‎ and‎ it‎ was‎ the‎ same‎ hair‎ color‎ he‎ always‎ did!‎

You‎ might‎ ask‎ why‎ are‎ you‎ talking‎ about‎ purple‎ hair.‎ What‎ is‎ your‎ purple‎ hair‎ moment?‎ Who‎ told‎ you‎ “naw‎‎ I‎ dont‎ think‎ you‎ want‎ to‎ do‎ that”. It was not entirely his fault I could have stood my ground but I doubted myself.‎ Never‎ let‎ someone‎ talk‎ you‎ out‎ of‎ something‎ because‎ it‎ makes‎ them‎ uncomfortable.‎ Good‎ counsel‎ and‎ good‎ advice‎ is‎ a‎ great‎ thing.‎ Thank them for thier concern. Pray‎ about‎ your purple hair moment‎ and‎ if‎ all‎ roads‎ lead‎ to‎ getting‎ purple‎ hair‎ then‎ guess‎ what‎ go on and get your‎ purple‎ hair!!!!‎!!
