THERE IS NOTHING more natural than hiking through nature barefoot. The soles of your feet and toes are wonderful sensory organs and the myriad of feelings from earth, grass, moss, pine-needles, and mud are wonderful. Many could not see hiking any other way. HIKING BAREFOOT causes virtually no trail erosion since a bare foot makes much less of an imprint than a booted foot. Bare feet are therefore the environmentally sound choice for hiking. THE BAREFOOT HIKERS are groups of people who enjoy hiki …

I created this network because I  wanted to see more representaion of natural hair in the state of Conneticut.  Everytime i would go on the other natural hair sites i would see "curl meet ups" in other states but not in CT.  I would like to create a network that unites all women with curly coily hair to unite and provide support to inspire other African American women to love who they are and their hair.

"Waking up" is associated with getting enlightened or free by rising out of imprisonment in your karma, body-mind, and relationships. "Waking Down" differs from waking up out of life.
