#33! Beautiful Beauty...

#33: BEAUTY! 

Beauty is not an indulgence—I believe it actually inspires creativity. I’ll never forget the time I was in Rome and went to the Vatican for the fi rst time to witness the splendor that is the Sistine Chapel; the moments walking through the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens or watching the Alvin Ailey dancers perform their yearly Christmas-time triumph. It stirs something within me that urges me to create something that can only hope to complement the beauty I see before me. But beauty is an inside job that manifests itself in an outward reality. When you feel beautiful, you tend to automatically look beautiful. The work I was doing on the “inner” me manifested itself in my outside me. Around the time I started to believe that my hair was “beautiful,” I also began to drink more water and work out. Not to look beautiful, but because I already felt beautiful:) My hair helped me to reveal the beauty I already felt inside.

*Every day starting February 24th at 11:11AM EST (it is said that the angels sing at this time!) until April 10 I will count down the remaining days of our 'A Call to HAIRiette ARMS' rocket hub.com fundraising campaign. We're raising funds to create an interactive series --with YOU!-- and a haircare line (a portion of which goes to charity, THE ACTOR'S FUND).

We'll share one essay from my upcoming book I FOUND GOD IN MY HAIR: 98 spiritual principles I learned from my relationship with…my hair! (via twitter: @tanyaTTwright, @HAIRietteharlem). As with all things that give you struggle, my hair has taught me a lot about life, love…and FAITH. It is my hope you will find inspiration in these essays to apply to your own life.
