blogging

so keeping up with my blog has not really been that easy lately. Being torn between wanting to post and entry of substance or just an update with pictures often leaves me not posting at all. Those times when I find myself with lots to say often come when I'm least able to jot down my thoughts for a post and when I have time to post I find myself with a loss of words. What to do what to do?

Just as an update my hair is doing well it is really growing and I can get it all in one ponytail but I don't have any hang time so I wont be wearing it that way anytime soon. There is still a big section in the front that is not locked yet but its getting there. I have not been taking a lot of pictures lately I've been too busy with school to even do my hair let alone pose for a photo opp. I've been looking back on old photo and I am really pleased with the progress my hair has made in fact sometime next week I think I'm going to shoot my original consultant a comparison shot in an e-mail. I still think the groundwork she laid is fabulous.

In other news I go to pick up my little maltipoo puppy on Friday and I couldn't be more excited. I've waited 4 weeks for her and I'm so amped! As you can see from my previous post I've gotten all the Little necessities and goodies all ready for her. Can't wait!

Finally as my life goes, these past six months have been very interesting to say the least. I have had an emotional roller coaster ride. I dunno I think I'm just at a point in my life where I want more, while I'm in the process of attaining more, if that makes any sense. I'm learning to be content, trying to be content, praying for God to strengthen me as I accept things for what they are but all the while desiring more. The funny thing is I'm not so sure if I know what that more is.

Till next time be blessed

Preparing for baby

Yep that's right I'm adopting a baby, A baby puppy that is! She is a white Maltipoo born 1/29/2010 and she was the runt of the little and the shyest of all her brothers and sisters when I first met her. I can't wait to see what her personality will be when I get her. At first I went to look at her sister who was a feisty and spunky little cutie pie but there was something about her that just appealed to me. I plan on spoiling her rotten! I'm so excited.

Today is my 1 year Lockversary!!!!!

This year has been

Filled with twist,
turns,
bumps,
bunches,
slippage,
do's,
don't do's,
style hits and misses.

Love, war, peace, discovery, embracing, acceptance, forgiveness, frustrations, elegance, blog stalking, a total love affair. Consultation $$ Installment $$$$$$ reti for 6 months$ retightenting class$$$ a lifetime with Sisterlocks? Priceless! Thats what this year has been for me and I wouldn't have traded it for the world.

This was the style I decided to do. I twisted the front and then braided and locloops the back. It came out great! I have had it in for about 3 days now and the curls have dropped but the braid out is still going strong. Does anyone have any advice on how to make my curls last through the night. Everytime I go to sleep and wake up my curls are all flattened out. I've use a bonnet, scarf and nothing at all it no matter what its flat. I tried sleeping different too, that did work LOL. Anywhoo I'm so glad that I made the decision to get SL. 1 year and counting can't wait to see what this year will bring!

approaching 1 year

well its coming up to that time that I have been waiting for since the first day of my installation. My one year lockversary!!! It has been an interesting year. One filled with frustrations and mishaps but mostly pleasure and adoration towards my hair. Its been one of uncovering what my hair was really made of as it went through its various stages. I'm so pleased with the state it is in now and as I faced slight slippage and a build up issues I REALIZE THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE and all the obsessing I did could have been totally avoided. My consultant just did a fabulous job with my locks as I have been maintaining them for six months now and they still look fabulous because of the ground work she laid. My hair is almost totally locked. They have dropped and the front is finally sealing all the way. My hair has bounce and its getting a lot of body to it. Its great even when my hair was relaxed I never had this much body and bounce. I am absolutely and totally in love with my hair. I can't believe it has been a year this time has really flown by. So for all you newbies out there enjoy all your stages while you can because before you know it you will be at your one year mark and beyond. Oh and my air has been growing like crazy lately. I don't know if its a Florida sun or maybe due to a change in eating habits or maybe its just in a growth spurt stage. What ever it is I hope it keeps it up. Until next time.

thinking about my future...

I'm learning to pray for my husband even now. For his strength, for his purpose, for his protection, guidance, for his love for the Father, for his love for me. For him to be spiritually filled, exceedingly glad and ready to pour into the nations with me as I know he is doing the same for me. I'm learning to expand myself, embracing obstacles and phases that I did not see coming. I'm learning to accept the curve balls that have been and are destined to be thrown my way. I'm learning to gain knowledge and search for understanding even in a doubtful state of mind. I'm learning to trust in God more now than ever when everything in life is going well. I'm learning what it takes to be me, a woman, a daughter, a sister, a soror, a classmate, a Christian. I'm learning to be satisfied as I wait on what the Father has for me but most importantly I'm learning how to be the person God has called me to be.

Whats my redemption? Emancipationg from ignorance and an acceptance of self.
