Blessings...(Off Topic)

I promised to share some of the things that have recently occupied my time and prevented more frequent blog updates.

My Lil Sis, T - My Shero

My family and I were blessed to celebrate our second Race for the Cure with my lil sis, T. It was an unusually cold Saturday in April with snow believe it or not! (It rarely snows in Texas.) But the weather didn't stop over 20 thousand supporters from coming out to celebrate and help to fund research and a cure for breast cancer. To be able to celebrate another year with my beautiful sister was a blessing indeed...

My sisters: G, T & Blaq
(I'm the oldest, T is the baby. Now you see why I call myself BlaqKofi :-)

Of course, you've met Malcolm already, but thought I'd share another pic of him. Afterall, he's soooo cute. He also happens to be the smartest dog! He already knows the commands "come" and "sit." He hardly ever barks unless I'm out of his site or he can't find me. He's not one of those hyper dogs. He sleeps comfortably at the foot of my bed and is sleeping next to me on the couch now as I blog. He simply wants to be close to me at all times.

He sleeps a lot and crashes at 9 p.m. on the dot. It's just like having a new born. I'm up at 6 a.m. to take him out, feed him and play with him. No more hitting the snooze button for me! I come home every day at lunch to let him out and play with him some. It hurts my heart to leave him and hear those pitiful whimpers. But it's great to come home and receive all of his love. Another blessing indeed...

And yes, I will be one of those people who blogs about her dog...but I'll be sure to include pics of my dog AND my Sisterlocks.

(I've started to get zits, believe it or not! See the huge one on my chin.

I haven't had zits since I was a teenager.

I'm bewildered at this new development and I hate it!

Perhaps my hormonal change?????

I'm trying every acne product on the market.

Just some random thoughts...

Afterall, the title read "off topic."

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...
