I Made it, So PROUD of Me!!!

Looking like a deer in headlights, my daughter snapped this pic as we were walking out of the auditorium.


Hello everyone,

After many years of starting school and stopping, I have completed 4 yrs at Argosy University earning a BA of Psychology. I am the first in my family to obtain a BA, it was a thrill watching the upper class earn their MA/Doctorial Degress such a motivator to continue my education. As my daughter watched her mom graduated it was also a motivator for her as well. Yippeee for Me...;0)

My Lovely Daughter

Ok, My youngest got me with this one. Guess I left my computer on and she decided to make a post, she is a jewel and good girl (Pray that she stays that way) at least until she completes college. When I read my suprise post from her my eyes wailed up, her words are so kind and I know at times she wishes she could strangle her Mommie.

Now, I do not have a favorite daughter and she knows that. I am a victim of that horrible treatment and would never do that to my girls, I love them both equally they are both special as they both have their own characteristics this is what sets them apart making them special in their own way. My closeness to my daughters comes from lots of hugs, straight talk, playfulness,raising them in church and prayer. The one who posted is now 14 years old, my oldest is 19 and expecting my first grand child...we know it's a girl...her name will be Chevae (which is my oldest daughters middle name) she is due on Valentines Day but I think she going to be born on my father's birthday Feb. 18th he has since pasted on so this would be a blessing.

Here are photo's of my girls years ago, present and a U/S pic of my grand-daughter.


The sneaky poster is in the middle, doesn't she look sneaky..LOL



Here's my youngest the sneaky poster, dressed for homecoming sept.2008 As you can see she thinks she's the Princess (hence the Tiara)...looking like she just got caught doing something...LOL

From Her Daughter

Hello everybody in the blog world, I'm "Angel Locs" daughter. Her youngest, and favorite to be exact :) (Just Kidding) Well, I wanted to surprise my mom. She's gone right now, so I decided to make a blog about her.

I'm so happy my mom is my mom, I love her soo much. She's been there for me, and I know she's always going to be there for me. I love spending time with my mommie (yes I still call her mommie) even though she always say I get on her nerves, I know she loves my annoyance. I like making her smile when she's sad, I like cooking for her, and I love making jokes with her.

She's amazing I love her big cheesy smile :) And I think she's beautiful. Long story short, I love my mommie.

Stay Beautiful

Wow My First Week with SL's and Lovin It !!!!! (click on picture to enlarge)

 

Hello my SL sistah's, First of all I would like to thank all of you who have made comments and sending Warm Welcomes to SisterLock-Hood...Well it has been 1 week since the installation of my SL and the beginning of this peaceful journey, my hair color looks so much darker..I haven't changed the color it's the lighting.

My family and friends have been pretty receptive to my knew look, My sister was the funniest, though she is familiar with SL's she asked me what did my SL consultant put in my hair to lock it. I guess she was thinking they were similar to starting traditional locks.

Another funny thing...while my SL consultant installed my SL's she would get to certain sections of my hair and would say "This is the Slave Master's hair in this section" I would kindly say " No that's Running Hawk's hair"....Well I logged onto ancestary.com's free 14 day trial and learned that my Great-Grand Mothers race was entered as Mulatto...(white father/black mother)...actually my Great-Great Grand Mother was part Indian..My point...I guess my SL consultant did run across the Slave Master's hair...LOL..

This first week has been a "ITCHY" week, OMG has my head been itching. My SL consultant suggested dry shampoo and sea breeze..I tried the dry shampoo..but I needed more relief..Thanks to my wonderful SL sistah blogging about the itchies and their remedies, Nihuru stated she used Listerine....I thought..."Hmmmmm, I am trying Listerine" so off to Walmart/ Wally Word to many...for a small bottle of Listerine...Thank you Nihuru it worked wonders, my itching has almost stopped completely...however I do have a dry scalp in certain area's so I will most likely still have some itching.

Final note I am loving my SL's as you can see, I am free styling these lovely locks applying my makeup, being creative with eye shadows...I am purely in love...

Much love to all of my Natural/SL's Sistahs

FINALLY INSTALLED AFTER 6 YEARS OF DEBATING

I must give thanks to my SL Consultant Trainee Laura, she is truly a blessing as she did not want to install my locks at only 2 inches. The recommended length is 3-4 inches, however she trusted that I would take good care of these little wonders and she is absolutely correct. I am so thankful to you Laura for having faith in me.

During my two day 17 hour installation, I came in each morning with my bag of goodies for the day(poweraide,cheese sticks, fruit, veggies and veggie dip). We only took potty breaks a few times each day and maybe 15 minutes for a quick bite, Laura and I chatted about raising children, grandchildren, the Gospel, we laughed about life and good times,while we watched Gospel Video's Laura and I praised in the Spirit.... but she kept those fingers working.

As you can see my locks are very tiny, Laura had a bit of a struggle around the edges but she got those babies in there.

My hair is medium coily, as soon as Laura put in the locks they would spring into little coils with a exception of a few that want to do their own thing. The back of my hair is much thicker then the top and sides, but as time goes on I know this will all fill in I will just keep pumping those vitamins,drinking water and eating a better diet for healthier hair and skin.

This was a gracious experience, I am so happy to have begun my SL Journey...Nubian1 and I started our journey this past weekend this will make my journey even more exciting to blog with Nubian1 as we start our journey together.

I feel happy and free
