19 months and still loving the journey

I am happy although my locks are fuzzy and being difficult it is really how my hair is!

I can't believe it has been 4 months since I was here

I am so sorry! My life has been crazy lately, I just returned to work. After 14 1/2 months off I wasn't sure I was ready. 10 days after returning to work my Mother was discharge from the long term unit that she has been on for 11 months. Discharged to me. I love my mother and always told her when she was ready to come home she could. I have had to learn more than this prison guard ever wanted to know about nursing. But it is a joy to serve someone who has always been selfless. A challenge for me physically I had back surgery in February, and have been told by my doctor that physically I cannot do this without putting myself in jeopardy of having to have more back surgery. I need prayer...because I refuse to send my Mother to a nursing home. This is my time to give to the woman who gave me life and I will not turn my back on her. My daughter has been wonderful without her I would not be able to do this. She given up so much of day every day to help us both! Periodically when we are truly exhausted we vent to one another cry and then suck it up and carry on. I will try to post photos soon! In the meantime peace my sisters in locs.

My daughter is an adult now!

I have tried to deny my daughters' desire to be an adult. After all I remenber every moment of her life from the first time I knew she existed..to the first time I felt her move. I love her with all my heart! She was the first grand child and has been greatly indulged by everyone in her life. Autumn is her name, it is describes so well if you are from a part of the country that enjoys a real autumn. Now my daughter will marry her best friend and love Jenny. As a mother I wish my daughters' happiness and love for the rest of their lives! To the world who may feel as though they have a right to judge and condemn..I wish you love as well. I am proud of my daughters and the wonderful group of people that are their friends. so today I introduce Autumn and Jenny.

Gus Macker 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament

Just wanted to share some photos of my daughter. She is a basketball player and her team won this years Gus Macker in her division. As you can see she is natural.

Just a little high lights

Well I just got the first of my color tell me what you think. My loctician highlighted using foil. I will have to post again soon because my daughter decided to lighten my hair she didn't like the plan highlights.

My first hair cut

Well I am finally all natural, gone once and for all are the permed limp ends! I can see my locs completely for the first time and I love it. The permed hair was beginning to look a hot mess, they were bunching up. At first the bunching didn't bother me but I decided to wash my hair before the retightening and not roll it just let it go. It wasn't cute and to tell you the truth the perm was actually blocking my view of what my hair really looks like. My consultant said it is past time for a hair cut, I said lets do it. She hesitated and said you know your hair is going to be very short, and I will not cut it into a style. This will just remove your permed hair, I told her I understand and I am ready to do it. I love my hair..yes it is short but it looks neat and guess what there are locs. They are soft and healthy it feels wonderful to be here!
