A Mother's love, A Daughter's Love

I love my daughter so much.  I'm taking time to honor her and it is well deserved. She is very wise and she is learning to be strong in the love of herself. That is the most important gift I can give her. She loves me dearly. I live for the love. I thank The Mother/Father Creator for such joy. Ashe

Cutting down trees

I am thinking of cutting my locs. I've been growing them for nine years and I have felt the need to cut them off before. There was a very strong desire to cut them after the death of my son. I have been feeling ever since that I need new energy. I have been feeling it now very strongly as well. I have been putting off even cutting them to my shoulders length; I just love them so much.  They have so much life. They make me feel safe. It almost like they protect me from the blows of everyday life, but when I lost my son it was very difficult time in my life and they felt like they were weighing me down.

I know it is time to say goodbye to them even though I will miss them.  But as the saying goes, "Sometimes we have to let go of the thing(s) we love."  It also says something about that thing possibly coming back...and that's what I try to tell myself. It is hair and it will grow back. I also wanted to honor my locs before I cut them. They are special like trees. I have to show them love and respect for the power, energy and love of self they have given to me. Then and only then I can sever my blessed tresses.  Thank you Creator for blessing my hair/loc journey.  Thank you for allowing me to deeply love myself. Thank you locs 2001-2010. I will always love you. I will never forget you. Ashe

Choose Life T.I.

I live in the "Atlanta Metro Area." I heard that T.I. talked a suicidal man off a roof. I am so glad that his current freedom made such a dramatic difference in saving this persons. I am not going to follow people up and suggest that this was one of his home boys; and, i do not suggest, as the radio personality said, "the timing is immpecable." I do thank the Universe for giving him the desire to help and using him for divine intervention.  It sends a message of life no matter what!

I had a friend that took his own life.  I wish I had the opportunity to know his pain and talk to him.  He showed the world a person that seemed happy and strong. Don't get me wrong it takes a great deal of strength, in certain circumstances, for one to take his or her own life, but it also is the end result of a lot of pain and a lot of fear!

T.I. and Tiny are committing a slow suicide.  They continue to make choices that not only affects them but the lives of their children. It seems that no amount of money can make some people happy. I am praying for their strength and healing!

Loving Lock It Up by Taliah Waajid

If I had to sum this product up in one word it would be "beautiful!"  I unapologetically use this word a lot, but I am a minimalist and it works! Now back to the product--at first I said, "here is yet another product for locs"* unimpressed unamused voice*.  Then I used it!  Amazing barely there finish+genuine holding power + moist+pleasant fragrance=gotta try it!! If you have tried it and you love it like I do, tell the people what the deal is! Taliah Waajid you have been blessed with a true gift in this extra special hair care product!

I was using another product that shall remain nameless. After I finished I spent several minutes washing this product off my hands. How much more can be said of this stuff getting trapped in our precious locs. Tsk. Tsk.

Welcome

Glad to be in the service! Thank you for visiting my blog. New to blogging, but true to the natural hair path, I decided to share my love of natural of hair as well as my skill of natural hair design. I love hair. I love my hair. African hair is very misunderstood and disrespected even by its possessors! My blog presences serves to honor, uplift and educate. One of my closest friends has been growing her natural hair for some time now (off and now definitely on for good! Mostly because of education!!), told me about the many sites, forums, products and terms out there for our hair. She said, "I can see you doing a site!" Here it is Sistah!
