Blaq On Da Block

Ladieeezzzz! Guess who's back in her bedroom, sitting at her 'puter, digital cam in hand, taking pics of herself and her beautiful Sisterlocks?

O.K., I'm gonna help you - can you identify this nubian queen?


Why, it's none other than BlaqKofi!

It's been a minute, but what I lack in quantity I try to make up for in quality. I like to give you something cerebral as well visual.

Life's been hectic, but oh so good. So much to share - some of it deep - some of it I may not even get around to blogging about - but you'll be able to tell the difference - it's all good.

O.K. let's start with the easy stuff first then see where the writing leads us...

There's a new man in my life (details in next post).

Above pic: 22m - I was getting ready for bed tonight and began to play with and finger comb my locks, as I so often do. Four days ago I used the Caruso's to add some body to a two-week-old Soft Spike Curl set. (I'm back in love with the ssc...a future post). I've done nothing, but pull them up into a pony at night, wake up, finger style and go.

Here I am earlier in the day, getting ready to host a baby shower for my son and daughter-in-law (another post) nothing done to my hair except pulled back, clipped and finger styled. Sisterlocks are absolutely amazing!

Four years ago, I met a sister with small, gorgeous, neat locks in Tom Thumb on Sycamore School Road in Fort Worth, Texas and asked, "are those dreads?" "No they are called Sisterlocks. Go to www.sisterlock.com and check them out." I am eternally grateful that our paths crossed on that fateful day.

That Tom Thumb has since closed...I often wonder about the sister who opened the SL door for me, wish I had of gotten her name or number so that I could tell her how she contributed to my Natural Awakenings...

but also,

so that she could see

BlaqKofi on loc'down.

I think she would be proud.

And my journey continues...

See post below for more updates.

Blaq's New Man

I finally have a man who loves me unconditionally, showers me with love and affection and wants to constantly to be with me - meet my baby, Malcolm.

Malcolm is a 6 week old Miniature Schnauzer. He came home with me on Thursday, April 19 and I am totally in love! He is the smartest dog I have ever owned. He has a personality that matches mine - he's not too hyper or aggressive. House training is going better than I could have ever expected and I am so totally content and happy with him.

By the way - he loves my Sisterlocks - chewing on them that is!

Blaq's Baby - Havin' A Baby

My granddaughter will be born in a few weeks and to say I'm excited is an understatement. I had the pleasure of throwing a shower for my son and daughter-in-law this Saturday. (The last of four consecutive Saturday events - which is why I haven't had time to blog.) I took the opportunity to remind them of their promise to allow me to care for her hair - naturally, of course!
