Family

Would you believe it? I'm back again! lol. I had such a great time yesterday with my family. Well, I had to work on Christmas day as usual, but afterwards...I got all dressed up for our traditional family dinner at my mom's house. Let me tell you, that I come from a very large family. My mom had 11 children.....minus one, Sharon - my younger sister is deceased (RIP Sharon) I am #3!

So, picture this: All of us and our children (minus my 3) and some of their children and a few family friends, at a meet-up! We had prayers, exchanging of gifts, hugs and laughter, games, story telling...man, this was off the chain! The food was great and so was the company. My brothers took care of the music and games and the girls controlled everything else... you see, there are more of us than there are of them (heheheheheee). Seven girls! Not counting the grands and great grands- mostly females.

The menu consisted of Peas & Rice (yum), baked ham & Turkey with all the trimmings, coleslaw, macaroni & cheese (bahamian style), potato salad, crab salad, garden salad, fried plantains. We had cheese cakes, fruit cakes, pumpkin pie, potato bread, benny cakes and peanut cakes and drinks galore - alcoholic and non. I ate light....see, I'm a tote-rr (had my bag packed to go) lol. Don't drink soda pops, don't do alcohol.....so I made good with some good ole home made lemonade. lolol....party pooper, dey call me!

We had a grand time, even though I was missing my children (two girls in Canada and my son in Ft. Lauderdale).... We were together in spirit. God bless my babies so far away. Almost forgot my nephew (vince Jr.) who celebrated a birthday on Christmas day! Happy birthday, sweetie.... luv u, pucca..... By the way, my family is awesome, Luv u guys!!

I'll post some pics. later, I won't be in it ....I was the photographer! remember, my newest best friend? My Fugifilm digital, 8.2 MP camera? Aha!

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas to all you fellow bloggers! I am so excited, Christmas is my favorite time of the year. Well, Christmastime is here... What a joy it is to celebrate Jesus' birth and the blessings of his love!

I love this winter weather, although we don't have much of a winter here in Nassau. It's cooler, especially at night. I am grateful for the opportunity to be alive and well, I would like to say that I wish you all God's richest blessings, peace, joy and much love throught the holidays and in the New year.

Can't leave without saying how grateful I am to God for opening my eyes to see and appreciate my natural attributes, I am so in love with my sisterlocks...it gives me a deeper appreciation for my health and well-being. I am so much more confident, I feel stronger, I walk a little prouder,I stand a lot taller and I move with grace and pride. Total new attitude. I believe in myself, respect my own opinions and welcome new challenges!....... that, becomes the queen that I am. I AM.....!!!!

Peace, blessings and fabulous locks!

Fitness

Hi guys:

I haven't posted in a while, been pretty busy at work and my sisterlocks businesss is growing so! It's been wonderful being a part of other people's transformation from relaxed hair to beautiful heads of gorgeous locks.



I'm getting back to my fitness routine after being off and on for a long time. Been kidding myself that I can do it alone....not working, the pounds are creeping back on. I rejoined weight watchers, when I walked thru that door...felt right at home again. Lost 3 lbs. the first week (kinda disappointed cuz i wanted to lose at least 5 lbs) but I'm ok with that. I'm telling myself 'easy does it girl' I know that I can do it again. I'd lost 78lbs on the plan before and kept it off successfully for 5 years. I feel the need to shed about 30 lbs this time, can't wait to get back to my goal weight. Wish me luck, yall.



My hair - on the other hand is looking fabulous! I've taken lots of pics all by myself ( I need a photographer, ppl) Missing my daughters so much....not much fun without them but I got my newest best friend.......my FujiFilm 8.2 Megapixels digital camera! Got ya! HAHAHA...



Till next time, Stay natural, stay beautiful and .......Stay tuned for the new pics!

He is the love of my life...He is GOD!

He is the first and last, the beginning and end!
He is the keeper of creation and the creator of all!
He is the architect of the universe and the manager of all times,
He was, always is, and always will be... unmoved, unchanged,undefeated, and never undone!

He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings peace!

The world can't understand him, the leaders can't ignore him.
Herod couldn't kill him, the pharisees couldn't confuse him, and the people couldn't hold him!
Nero couldn't crush him, Hitler couldn't silence Him, the new age can't replace Him,
and 'Oprah' can't explain Him away!

He is light, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, kindness, gentleness, and God.
He is holy, righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.

His ways are right, his word is eternal.
His will is unchanging, and his mind is on ME.
He is my Savior, He is my guide and he is my peace!
He is my joy, He is my comfort, He is my Lord, and He rules my life!

I serve him because his bond is Love, his burden is light and his goal for me is abundant life.
I follow him because he is the wisdom of the wise, the power of the powerful, the ancient of days,
the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and is to come.
And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.......
His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me, never forsake me, never mislead me, never overlook me and never
cancel my appointment in his appointment book!

When I fall, he lifts me up!
When I fail, he forgives me!
When I am weak, he is strong!
When I am lost, he is the way!
When I'm afraid, he is my courage!
When I stumble, he steadies me!
When I am hurt, he heals me!
When I am broken, he mends me!
When I am blind, he leads me!
When I am hungry, he feeds me!
When I face trials, he is with me!
When I face persecutions, he shields me!
When I face problems, he comforts me!
When I face loss, he provides for me!
When I face death, he carries me Home!

He is everything for everybody everywhere, everytime and every way.
He is GOD, he is faithful. I am his and he is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world. So, if you're wondering why I feel
so secure, understand this.... He said it and that settles it. God is in control, I am on his side, and that means all is well with my soul. Everyday is a blessing for GOD IS!
I love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind and body and nothing can separate me from the love of God.
Guess what? I Love YOU too.........

A Hair Affair

I'm always doing something different with my hair. Styling options are limitless, although I love freestyling....sometimes I do the curly or crinkly look (my favorites) 'for no fuss'.

Love My Locks!

Gosh! I love my sisterlocks!I got my sisterlocks installed in March (4th & 5th) of 2002. This was a life changeing experience for me. I have never felt such freedom in my entire life. I tell you, it's the best thing I've ever done for my hair. I have a newfound sense of self-love, beauty and spirituality...... My life will never be the same.

I say 'Thank you' to JoAnn Cornwell for inventing such a wonderful hair management system. I totally agree with Dr. C, when she said that "It's not just a hair-do, it's a lifestyle". I am six years locked and loving it! My hair and I are perfect for each other....

I have started this blog to celebrate the natural beauty of my locks, to share and receive input from all you beautiful sisterlocked/brotherlocked people from far and near. Even if you're not SL'ed, Let's celebrate being natural, being YOU! Being beautiful! Did I tell you that I'm a certified sisterlock consultant? (left the best, for last) Yes, I am! Trained in San Diego, California in November of 2001 and certified in 2004. I shall also be sharing pics of some of my clients along with their experiences and comments from time to time.Let's get this party started!
