Catch up...
Hay y'all! Sorry it has been a little while since a post...just over a week I think? Is that just over two weeks? I can't keep track these days! Although I am not studying as much at the moment (just one subject over summer) it seems like I have no trouble filling the time. Makes me wonder where I find it when I am doing FOUR subjects!So, a quick catch up is in order. A bit has happened in the last little while! First up...hair! So, I decided to go and get dreads again from my bestie Lori. We put in extensions and they looked pretty darn rad that is for sure! I had them for about two weeks and noticed that I pretty much had NO hair on the top of my head! After many texts back and forward with Lori and some information she gave me, I have basically realised that a) my hair is not strong enough to have dreads, particularly when they get long b) because of this they were pulling my hair out at the roots, ripping it from the base and making me bald and c) if I didn't do something about it, it can scar your scalp and cause permanent damage. So, there was only one decision....cut them off! As sad as I am to not be able to have dreads again, I am committed to the long haul of growing my hair again. I want to and have wanted to have it long for AGES so I am committed to the journey. Let the growing begin.I have also only been on social media spasmodically up until the 1st of December. I had some time away to basically re-focus my energy and purpose with what I am aiming to do with Instagram, Facebook etc. So, I have had a re-name which some of you have asked about. I have re-named my Instagram account Adventures and Activism (along with my Facebook page) as I think this name more aligns with what I am trying to achieve these days....epic adventures and straight up animal rights activism. So far so good. I have also re-named my personal page on Facebook to Sandy Grills! This is a name that either my mum or dad wanted to call me when I was born but it didn't turn out for whatever reason. I think it is cool and suits me these days so Ill run with it for a while and see if it catches on! Good times! In conjunction with all this, I am also doing a 90days of Summer thing where I am posting a photo every day for December, January and February with some inspirational jargon I come up with. So far it has been a bit of fun and I am enjoying it.Lastly, training has been going really well and things are going good in my prep for Hares and Hounds. I love the heat when I am running so it is a great time of year for me! Heres to a solid next few weeks ahead and then smash it up come race day!Well friends, that is a few things that have been going down. Life is good and I am enjoying time with the family, focusing on what is important and doing my best to keep it real! I hope you are enjoying your Summer thus far and have some good health focus leading into Christmas. Much love friends and well chat soon! Sandy...
