There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why. ~ William Barclay
My life is really full right now. I am blessed with an awesome family and great friends who love, encourage and support me. I have come to realize that everyone in my life is there for a purpose - rather that be a reason or a season. I am grateful for the lessons. This October has been full of family, friendships - new and old - challenges, learning, clarity, healing and personal growth. My present time is limited, but I wanted to reach out and share some Blaq Life with you. I'll be back with the visual and cerebral real soon.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As most of you know my baby sis has battled this invasive disease for the past five years. Last week I had the honor of traveling with her to Houston, Texas and the MD Anderson Cancer Center for her periodic exams and testing. After two full, tense days of uncertainty, we were able to drive home in celebration. For the first time in five years, there were no signs of cancer! My Shero.
My niece had her first baby and my first great-nephew.

DFW OG Sisterlocks - In October 2005, a group of ladies met through Yahoo!LockItUp, gathered together in Dallas with something in common - Sisterlocks. Over the past five years we have developed a bond of true friendship. Last weekend, those of us who could make it, gathered in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex to celebrate five years of Sisterlock'dom and sisterhood. More photos and details to follow.
Look forward to full feature posts and more photos soon.
My life is rich,
and I am happy...

Beautiful & encouraging as always. Life is a mysterious cycle. Very inspired by your sister, though I lost my Mom recently to breast cancer. She was very courageous. Just couldn't fight it on her own. Thank you for sharing!
HN,thank you for sharing. I am so grateful to have my sister. We appreciate the love.

Congatulations to your sister! I have been praying for her. I am a 2 time breast cancer survivor. I lost my twin sister to this awful disease so every survivor is a VICTORY!!! Thank God!
I love reading your blog and getting inspiration from you. I will make my 1 year anniversary being sisterlocked in a couple of weeks. The time has flown by and it's with the help of your blog and inspirational words that have kept me going.
Thank you! and give your sister a hug for me.
