Hello Beautiful! Last night I was up until about midnight reading websites and blogs and watching YouTube videos.  Specifically about natural hair care and especially transitioning products and protective styles.  This is crazy because I know that my 7 1/2 month old is teething and is not sleeping through the night.  My behind should have been in the bed getting some much needed sleep.  I just couldn't get enough information.  It was all good and fun!  However, at this very moment, while I am sitting at my 7 year olds soccer practice, I am hardly able to keep my eyes open.  Sidebar:  Why is this little girl hanging upside down from the gymnastic bars with her head resting in the sand?! I'm so glad I'm not her mother.  

Hello Beautiful! It amazes me how things work out for my good.  For many years now I have processed my hair with relaxers and other chemicals.  All of which were products (pun intended) to the destruction and stereotypical idea of who I am.  For so long  I allowed myself to be hidden within a tomb of silicone, petroleum, sulfates, peroxide, alcohol, and so many more stones of offense.  Today, I am proud and excited to say that, like Lazarus, I am no more bound by the ideals set by this world.  I am free to be me...beautiful me.  Song of Solomon says in chapter 4:1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as flocks of goats, that appear from mount Gilead (KJV).  In other words, your hair is lovely to behold.  It is as the natural beauty of wool of a goat.  Its texture is like that of the flowers from the mount Gilead.  The Message Bible says it this way; You're so beautiful, my darling, so beautiful, and your dove eyes are veiled by your hair as it flows and shimmers, like a flock of goats in the distance streaming down a hillside in the sunshine.
