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.
Natural Hair Care Forum - I was the guest speaker this past weekend at a Natural Hair Care Forum here in Oklahoma City. It was powerful to look around the room and see all the beautiful hues of skin tone, hair textures and natural styles. It was a wonderful Saturday of natural support, knowledge and bonding. I was honored to be invited to share with this group.
Look forward to full feature posts and more photos soon.
My life is rich,
and I am happy...
