Thanks for the Luv & Encouragment

Thanks for the warm reception ladies. I have missed you all. You are indeed a blessing in my life. I get such joy sharing my Natural Awakenings with you whether they be mundane or deep. I'd like nothing better than to be able to blog everyday if I could.

To my original OG Sisterlocked friends - good to hear from you. Whether we see each other or not - I know we're down for life. Tra, looking forward to running into you again at the Jill Scott concert in Feb. You know the location (wink).

Thanks to everyone who continues to encourage my mom on her Sisterlock journey. She gets such a kick when I read your messages to her.

To my new friends and readers. Thanks for the love and encouragment. It motivates and strengthens me.

DiVa La Reine - I know your locks will rock. My fam teased me too because I was and remain so passionate about my locked journey. But now they understand. You too will be a living, breathing Sisterlock testimony. Your locks will encourage others to step into natural freedom. Thanks for reaching out.

Amba - much love! Keep coming back, my sister. I appreciate you.

BlaqueGoddess - True, it is greater later and the time flies. Read my early post. Stay strong, stay true to self and stay natural. Everything will fall into place. I appreciate you.

This Sisterhood goes much deeper than the naturalness of our hair. Keep coming back, showing the love and I'll keep sharing and together we'll experience Natural Awakenings...

Peace & blessings,

What's Blaq Been Up To at 31M - Part III

I've started to work out seriously again - getting ready for a special occasion. I was taking some pics of the back of my hair after a wash and was surprised at the results I'm getting (o.k. and proud :-) 30 minutes of cardio on the Eliptical 4-5 days a week (I love that machine!) Abs every day (tough getting results), weights: rotating days concentrating on arms, shoulders, and back.

Of course, I've been spending time with my miniature Schnauzer, Malcolm, who's almost one now. He's a sweetheart. It was touch and go for a few months. I didn't know if I'd make it through the house training and hyperness. Just when I placed an ad for him - he started to act like a big boy and when it was time for him to go to a new home - I found I couldn't do it. So we've grown together and love each other now for who we are...afterall, isn't that what true love is all about?

What's Blaq Been Up to at 31M - Part II

As promised more of what I've been up to...

Spending time with my sons...

Spending time with my granddaughters...

Skiing & snowmobiling in Breckenridge, Colorado. Beautiful country. Despite the obvious cold, snowmobiling was a blast! The skiing was great also. I improved a lot considering I hadn't ski'd in over 5 years. I even ski'd some blues! (Click photos for greater detail.) And, of course, my locks did great in the snow.
