“Making the decision to have a child - it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” ~Elizabeth Stone

Mothers are the creator of the human race; they are the first Guru, the first guide and mentor of humanity. Think of the tremendous positive force that a mother, one single human being, can unleash upon the world — each having a far reaching effect on others, whether she is aware of it or not.

Motherhood is a woman’s never ending, a lifelong journey. The birth of each child is a new, magical experience beyond anything imaginable. There is a saying that the moment a child is born, the mother is also born. Whether the baby is from the womb, the adoption agency or foster care, each birth creates a new mother. They give the most precious of gifts to their children: unconditional love, support, wisdom and opportunity. It is pure passion that leads her to teach, protect, mold, shape and prepare her children for the future. In profound ways, all mothers empower their children to change the world. We all have our favorite mom stories, tales of how our mothers nurtured us into the people we are today.

This year, let us reflect on the women who have come before us and those that are still here within our reach. They inspire us, they enlighten us, they nurture us; they come from all walks of life and from all every inch of this beautiful earth. Each one of us mothers has a purpose, a calling (big or small, public or private)…mine is to remind the women of the world to “love their hair” by embracing their natural beauty.

Celebrate by releasing the energy into the world that has been place upon your heart as you have the power to change the world in our communities, homes and hemispheres!

Happy Mother’s Day

Love Your Hair,

“The sun shines down, and its image reflects in a thousand different pots filled with water.

The reflections are many, but they are each reflecting the same sun.

Similarly, when we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people.”

~Amma the Hugging Saint (India)

Revered as a powerful guru and saint, Mata Amritanandamayi (known throughout the world as Amma, or “mother”) has hugged more than 32 million people. All for the goal of spreading “selfless love and compassion toward all beings”; she’s on a mission to comfort her children, i.e. humanity. Only a mother would have such a goal, a yearning to heal and nurture all people of the world. The power of love can make any and every thing a possibility – especially the love of a mother!

There are many mothers, known and unknown, roaming this very Earth that they are trying to change on a daily basis. Immaculee Ilibagiza is a mother, author and motivational speaker that survived the Rwandan Genocide; she found it in her heart to embrace forgiveness and spread the teachings of love and compassion to others. Patricia Bragg is a mother and health crusader who has made it her quest to renew, rejuvenate and revitalize our lives through eating, breathing and exercising our bodies and minds. Oprah Winfrey may not have biological children, but thanks to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, she is able to step into the mother role and be a real mother friend companion advisor, comforter to hundreds of girls, Oprah admits, “this has added another level to my life”. Angelina Jolie is a mother, actress and humanitarian on a mission to save the lives of refugees and people who have been displaced due to conflict.

While we wish the entire world embraced more love, more caring, more giving and less selfishness, we can teach the children within our reach. We can show them to respect others. We can show them how to love others. We can show them how to take care of the environment. We can show them how to be a friend. Even in small things – the things we buy, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the waste we create – we can create a better world. Through them, we can change it.

Mothers’ love, support and commitment to making the world a better place has shaped the person we all are and what the children of this world will be. Even if your reach is not as broad as the mothers listed here, do for one what you wish you could do for all. Believe that love can change the world, don’t take my word for it – just look around at the mothers in your life, including YOU.

Love Your Hair,

Happy Valentine’s Week to you! Valentine’s Day is not only made for celebrating your love’s presence in your life or an excuse to eat heart-shaped and sweet; it’s also a mirror that reflects your special treats, helping you fall head over heels for yourself. On your never ending journey of self-love, you will deal with and learn how to move past your fears, remove obstacles that stand in your way, let go of the past, give and receive forgiveness, bring acceptance to your body, step out in faith, and fill your life with love, beauty, faith and gratitude.

Self-love only comes with a willingness to let go of the past and move forward with a renewed sense of hope and self. By telling your reflection in the mirror that yes, you’re willing to change; you’ll create that openness of your heart and mind you need to fall head over heels for yourself. You’ll start to celebrate the strengths and achievements that testify to you being a whole and healthy person, singled or non-single. to create self-worth and happy confidence.

In the end, it all comes down to making a decision. Do you want to love yourself? Do you want to be happy with whom you are or do you want to hold on to a feeling of unworthiness and self-hate? It’s in your hands. You have the power to make that radical change, but you have to choose to do it.

Giving good hair is a powerful thing! Long hair, short hair, colored hair, weaved hair, shaved hair – don’t care. These ladies are not only known for making headlines and careers, but they have influenced our culture at some time, coiffures that have inspired envy and imitation over the past century. These women unwittingly started pop culture history’s most memorable hair trends with their iconic hairstyles, past and present. Some of these fashionable hairdo’s have faded into obscurity, others have crept back into relevance. Over time style has evolved, thus creating several fashion changing hairstyles; only a few hairstyles become coveted, it takes a woman who truly ‘owns’ a look to make it iconic. At the time it might have felt they were being outlandish, provocative, or that they were pushing buttons but really they just knew who they were and didn’t apologize for it.

One of the beauty hurdles we obsess over is trying to find that perfect hairstyle that make us look (and feel) fantastic! Framing the face, hair is a huge part of our appearance; changing our hair is one of the easiest ways to alter our image, but keeping it the same can cement your signature style. The icons of beauty have stuck by their own looks and found comfort in being themselves. Finding your individual style and being happy with it is such a positive affirmation, especially when individuality tends to get lost in this day and age.

We at Jane Carter Solution promote individuality in women and support all women accepting their hair texture! Ask yourself:

Do I have a signature style?

Am I presenting myself and my hair in a way that’s true to who I really am?

Does my hair make me feel beautiful and empowered?

Let the journey to finding your iconic style start now!

Love Your Hair,

The Holiday season is in full swing; tis the season! While some are preparing for the festivities, others are trying to find a way to generate extra resources…a bit of abundance is definitely on their shopping list. Maybe you’re reading this and need a bit of extra cash for gift purchasing, buying a plan ticket to visit family and friends or looking to pad your savings nest egg before the end of the year. No matter the reason, abundance tapping is the solution!

The reason tapping works is that the blocks to abundance are really all in your mind. If you change your beliefs about money, it will be easier for you to let it in. Imagine having more than you need, that your cup runneth over with what you need and more. See it, feel it, believe it. Don’t worry about how, the Universe is infinitely abundant. There’s plenty for you and everyone else!

Abundance is not defined by how much a person has, but by how aware a person is of how much he or she already has. If you can’t see that you are already abundantly blessed, you won’t be able to see when it is multiplied by 10, 100, 1000 or even a million. Opening up to abundance isn’t a pursuit; it’s a state of mind.

Love Your Hair,

The holidays bring a sense of warmth and festivity, but can also be a chaotic and stressful time. Nothing brings up people’s stuff like holidays…and family time. The holidays can be a particularly challenging time because of the associations and obligations we often face – buying gifts, receiving, making plans, attending work parties, spending time with family, loved ones who have departed. The holidays make us think more deeply and often times react more strongly.

Many of us are caught up in being hurt and trying to regain a sense of self that someone who has hurt us seems to have taken away. If this holiday season you are contemplating forgiving someone who has hurt you but you are afraid that doing so will leave you feeling weak and vulnerable. Consider this interpretation, that forgiveness is an act of strength, empowerment and self- love. It means that you value your peace of mind more than hanging onto a resentment.

If it yourself who you are contemplating forgiving….why not….go ahead; you will be a better friend, father, sister, brother or mother if you are spiritually well!

Love Your Hair,

Jane
