Artichoke Heart

I can't sleep even though I know it will not be easy to wake up. For some reason I keep hearing doors open and slam. Does that mean something? Probably means I'm paranoid. A paranoid android.

So Radiohead Monday was amazing. I loved the show and I loved the energy that Thom Yorke projected onto us from the shiny bright stage. I loved how he busted out with three new songs that they have never done live. It was very personal and special. There was a point where the whole place was dancing and gyrating and feeling that Radiohead magic throughout their body.

It was the best show of the year and I can't wait for Coachella and Bonnoroo.

Soultions was great tonight, a very close and special client of mine came. I wish more of clients could go there and be free to heal and become whole. I have changed in so many ways and I have grown to love who I am and what I believe. Doing hair is my passion but making people feel beautiful inside and out is more than anything I could do dollar amount. It's not about the money for me, it's about the warms smiles and knowing that you were heard and cared for from the moment the cape came on till you walked out the door.

Also came to realize it was time to make my mom feel special and loved because she is amazing and deserves so much!!!!

love you!

WTF Moon?

WTF Moon? What's going with you? Are you mad about something? Are you mad at women? Lately at the salon everything is tense and women have been spazzzing out. We don't know what's going on but each of us have been effected. It's insane. The universe has a funny way of showing you what it has up it's sleeve. I was once told by the sun woman that sometimes you just can't get mad. Ask what it is your are suppose to learn or gain or know about the situation. Friday when my car broke down I asked why o why me? And suddenly I wasn't mad anymore.

Anyways I just hope the moon stops messing with us!

Receive my love, my kindness, my friend. Take my hand and don't ask why. Let's embrace under the stars, talk about men, smoke a cigar. Drink a glass of wine and lets have dessert, make sure we speak from the heart, and not leave out any dirt. Joke for awhile then get serious but remember my love, you have me to vent. I love you friend, for you are smart and brave and strong. We smile and speak with heavy silence, you know, I know. Goodnight sleep tight, we have life to live tomorrow, for tonight was about love and living in our own world away from all we know.



Last night I had a great girls night. The kind of night that you know could only be kept in your heart and mind. It was a special thing and no one could ruin it. CHEESSSSEEEEE FRIES!!!!!

Do you know what ANGER is?

Anger is not being able to tell others how you really feel or the inability to let out your emotions. The inability to let go. Anger is okay and healthy it's better than bottling it up. What's important is being able to be angry when you have to be and not angry at everything when you don't have to.

I've been changing a lot of how I react. It's never easy but I'm really doing a lot of the work I need to not have the problems I keep having or the issues that keep coming back up.

Breathe. Think. Express. Let Go.

What Women Are

Women are soft, loud, brave, strong, emotional, unbalanced, balanced, sad, happy, free, loved, generous, caring, afraid… women are complicated…

Working with a group of women can be a beautiful thing or a messy thing. I try my best not to get into the middle of all the drama but somehow the vortex swallows you. I'm still too unbalanced and young to get my distance or game face on. I love women, and I love the girls I work with… but sometimes the animal in us comes out and it's not fun… At the end of the day I work with family, sisters, best friends, and mentors. I learn a lot every day about myself, about my trade, and about people. And I love what I learn and I'm greatful for it too.




So what are women to you?

Real Deale

Every second a life is taken within a blink of an eye. I'm not putting anything out there but I am making things more aware. I realized that after discovering this lump within a lump I should really not take life for granted. I'm not saying that I'm the kind of girl who cries over the wrong coffee order at starbucks but I know that I don't always stop and realize that I'm lucky to be alive and lucky to have such a great life and that I'm not sick or dead. I'm just lucky to have life. It's making me realize that roses do smell better and kisses do taste sweeter. I have nothing and everything that I need.

If anything should come of this I can at least say that I'm aware of this gift of life and that I promise to just spread more happiness and love. There isn't any time for hating when life truly is so short. And so it is.

I hope that everything will be okay and that this lump is just swollen due to the fact that the temperature dropped.

Happy Thoughts!

R.I.P Whitney Houston

Well though at this moment in time the cause is unknown, I'm pretty sure that the headlines at the check out line this morning said she had been partying all week. Drugs, Alcohol, sure is fun I guess, but some people don't have limits. In my heart there was something deeply wrong with her. She has a lot of pain and just wanted to be loved and accepted. Addiction is a serious thing and if you can't get healing in your heart, you will truly never feel free…

The Kills on Lettermen

Allison is from Vero Beach only about 45 min North of where I live… how did she make it out of here? Well I kindA know the story. Anyways her voice is so amazing so please enjoy.

Grunged

I'm looking through TUMBLR and there are a lot of young girls out there celebrating the 90's. Especially the grunge ear when the word freak was probably coined. It kinda inspired me to not get out of bed today. But I have to because my leg is really bothering me and I must see a Doct'ahhh… while I wait, enjoy...

Crown of Love

They say it fades if you let it,
love was made to forget it.
I carved your name across my eyelids,
you pray for rain I pray for blindness.

If you still want me, please forgive me,
the crown of love is fallen from me.
If you still want me, please forgive me,
because the spark is not within me.

I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom.

The only thing that you keep changin'
is your name, my love keeps growin'
still the same, just like a cancer,
and you won't give me a straight answer!

If you still want me, please forgive me,
the crown of love has fallen from me.
If you still want me please forgive me
because your hands are not upon me.

I shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom.

The pains of love, and they keep growin',
in my heart there's flowers growin'
on the grave of our old love,
since you gave me a straight answer.

If you still want me, please forgive me,
the crown of love is not upon me
If you still want me, please forgive me,
'cause the spark is not within me.
it's not within me, it's not within me.

You gotta be the one,
you gotta be the way,
your name is the only word that I can say

You gotta be the one,
you gotta be the way,
your name is the only word , the only word that I can say!

Only one that I can say!

Music Saved My LIFE

Music saved my life in 2007. I wanted to take my life. I didn't have a place to go or anyone to talk to. I was lost but not sure of where I was anymore. All I knew was that I could only feel pain and nothing was going to take that away. I wanted to numb myself but even that felt like it wasn't enough. I tried to have the courage to do it. I wasn't sure how I would. I wasn't in love with life or love or art or anything. Just wanted to die. Then this band, with this amazing song began playing loudly over the speaker and the voice sounded so strong and clear and it wasn't music about suicide it was music about living and fighting and never giving up.

I picked up the album that day and I heard it over and over and over again. And then I began singing each word as if I had written it. Every time I sang, I sang with love and hurt in my heart but this new fire in my soul. It was as if I had died and then came back to life as this strong woman. I knew that the reason I didn't want to live was because I somehow believed that I wasn't worth it anymore. Yet this music changed that so much for me.


Though I was still so sad and deeply depressed I had one thing I could count on… music. Music saved my life, music filled a void and when I hear that ONE song, one of many, I can feel my soul ignite telling my heart to keep going, moving my body and directing me to my own path. Music keeps me from losing myself and losing sight of what is important… LIFE.. no matter how bad or good or sad… I can still feel… and it's a beautiful thing.

Music brought me to my husband and together we've been able to over come so much and have this great and wonderful life.

Dreaming

I had a weird dream, the kind you dont want to wake up from because it's just that good and you cant wait to see what happens next. And even after you figure out youre having a dream you keep trying to stay asleep just because it's just like the best movie you have ever seen. I'm in the process of writing a book and I've probably re-written the thing like 10 times. I have a picture in my head how I want it to go but I never actually get there. SO this dream might be a bit of an inspiration. It was about a girl who lived and worked by the beach doing hair right by the water, and she meets three guys and she wants one because he's so dangerous and intense but then wants the other because he's so sweet and fun and smart, and the other she keeps around cause he'll never go anywhere… Throughout the whole dream she kept rotating these guys hoping one wouldn't find the other.. it was the best and most fun and I loved watching what she was gunna do next… like I said it was just a weird dream but it was a lot of fun to have this dream kinda go on in my head.

Girl Can't Help It

How can anyone say no to this?

All I really want is to look healthy and feel confident. I don't want to be hard on myself but I'm not taking my diet and exercise serious enough. I need to stick to it and I need to start getting the results I want. I have no self control. NONE! If I could just have a body that was a little lighter and tighter I know I'd feel better about myself.

Food is my addiction and I must take control. I start again and see how long this will last…. GOOOOOOO Will POWER!!!! My goal is to stick to the diet for a month… no soda more fruits and veggies, and working out or doing something very physical every other day!!! My affirmation for tonight, start this week with a clean slate, no cheats, soda, fast food, or laziness. I will work out three times this week and I will not fall to temptation! And so it is

I was going to try to alter my state today at the dentist but I freaked out from the pain. I hated the dentist today as she poked and jerked my head around while working on me. What the FUCK was her deal? I have a funny feeling it had a lot to do with me rescheduling my appointment twice. Still where did this girl come from??? Walmart? Oh holy numb mouth

Ryan McGinley

I love Kate Moss and I really love Ryan McGinley's work. I hope that one day I can be able to produce work like this… speaking of which I need models!!! Any takers?

Free People

Free people make clothes that inspire me and motivate me to keep on dreaming. I just love the California collection it is simply beautiful.

A Poem for HIM

Purple sheets hang on the line in our backyard. They flow and dance with the wind. Flowers in bloom have spread a sweet fragrance in the air and it's sweet and good. I dance to the rhythm of the broom as I sweep reminding me of my first dance with him. He'll comes home soon enough and I've baked him cookies that he absolutely loves. Some days the quiet in our home is lonely and cold but mostly it's comforting and I get to think even more. I've grown strong and I've been more independent. My strength comes from knowing I am loved. He is strong and calm and brings me happiness. I've never been so loved and I've never been so in love. We have the perfect bond, though we may not be perfect, though our house may not be perfect, we are still perfect for each other in the now. We travel together this earth and find things hidden for us. Magically we appear in situations where we find an adventure. We laugh and cry and hold each other in front of the beauty that we find. Mother nature created this beautiful planet and we enjoy it inch by inch. I glow when I talk about him. He has saved me. Long ago I was lost but climbing out of the darkest place I had fallen to. I was not able to talk freely or dream wildly. It wasn't easy but I made it out. Brendan had an energy that was light and pure and soft. I was totally falling for him from the moment we met. Eating in the dim light making conversation about fish. I was a challenge he learned quick. He came to know me first, but I came to love him first. It was a strong emotion I could not keep, it transferred to him and then back to me. From that first moment we kiss we knew it wouldn't be the last. We married two years later and that was that. We listen to music and make it too. I sit by the window and wish him home safe. Another day of firefighting another night of helping others feel safe. My hero, my man, my artist, and my best friend. I'm so in love and loved too… Brendan and Susie forever and ever blessed.

Sounds I love

Balance & Harmony

Balance is an important part of life. Without it chaos,negativity, and emotions run rapid. You live in happiness and free spirit if you have a healthy balance in life, in relationships, and with yourself. It takes work and it takes knowing when you have to cut your loss. Without balance there can be no harmony. Harmony keeps us grounded keeps us safe keeps us happy. If there's not harmony there is no peace. To my Salon and the girls that create beauty with me everyday. The real problem is there is no balance. Our core issue with this present situation is that the harmony is set off balance because we are off. Can we make it work? Now might not be the time. We have to stick together and see it out, maybe we can form positivity and bring back peace. PEACE LOVE HAIR

The Birth of SUSIE HAIR HERO

I'm not a hero but I believe in making others feel and look good. I believe in rescuing those who do not see the beauty they have inside. A real hero never knows that they are just that, a hero. A real hero does the right thing because that's what the feel from inside. A real hero doesn't expect thank you or anything but the feeling that they saved the day. A real hero is does it from the heart. 2012 is the year I transform from SUSIE to SUSIE HAIR HERO in full action. I'm going through the new process at Soulotions that has been healing me from my past and making me stronger and more enlightened with each day. I can feel it in the way I speak to people and in what I hear from them. I can feel it in my hands, my feet, my arms, my heart, and my soul. My intentions aim at bringing my talent for hair and my love for others to come as one and spread more love in this world starting at home. I plan on making the time to volunteer at the boys and girls club, make the others in my group stronger more connected, and making my workplace a place of high spirits and hair love. This isn't easy but if I can help one person feel good in a deeper way, I've done my job. I've been inspired by women for women. The wise and the talented have touched me on occasion. I feel that it benefits the world to keep going with this spirit of hope and praise and love. Fashion can be a beautiful thing as long as we spread it with love and kindness for all. LET'S TAKE DOWN THE HATE, THE BULLY, THE NEGATIVE, AND THE MEAN!!!! Spread love not hate- Susie Hair Hero
