I still heart my blog and my fellow bloggers and the thought of blogging :)

I do ckeck in on my blog every now and again and I read other blogs too. Life at the moment has really kept me away. Not an excuse because I could still make time. Oh well when the time is right I will do a proper update or maybe I should say when I feel up to it. Here I am as I am from time to time thinking about the meaning and purpose of my life not over doing it the thoughts are just there. Staying in the 'moment' though because in the grand scheme of things it is the most important the moment that is.

does rude have a language?

Well tomorrow will be 3 years since I had my locks installed, but I am not doing any comparison shots of my hair till I have it retightened and it is now amm like almost 6 weeks overdue (I know my consultant is not going to be pleased). Right now I am homesick just really missing home my family and friends.

It is interesting the phase 'no where like home' rings true. I like my own company as many of friends will tell you but I really wish...oh well moving right along. I know my mother is going to be pissed when she hears this but about 3 days ago I was sitting in a gazebo doing some reading and having lunch with a friend. There was a group selling crepes across from where we were sitting. So this lady and her male companion walk up and went to sit on a bench near to where we were there was some trash form the papers being used to wrap the crepes being sold on the bench so she takes it up walks over to where we were sitting says something niether of us understands puts the trash on the table and goes back to sit down. Well I took it up and went and threw it in the garbage not far from where we were sitting and came back and man was I angry you know what though in that moment I wish I was a little more like my mum cause I never said a word...I wonder why did she do that?

odds & ends

I have said this so many times but I have been bad with posting and with checking in on my blog buddies. Not that I do not have anything to say there is lots but I... oh well. Some changes are on the horizon but I am not going to say more just yet. Well I will say that soon I may not have an option I may need to start doing my own retightenigs (: We ie my DH and I have been busy trying to do the day to day stuff, keeping in touch with family and doing the things we think are important to us. We had another anniversary of my Bros death so we again got together shared memories of him and just spent time shaing in love with each other (friends & family). Taking one day at a time and trying not to get caught up in the fray but to keep my feet on the path of peace. My locks are 2 years and 8 months this month and they have been doing there thing. I continue to the sisterlocks products and the results have been great. I was wondering why the shampoos do not come in larger bottles ? going to have to send Dr C a note. My brunslities have been out and about as the making of my ponytail is almost complete. I have also stopped using a shower cap and just bundle everything on the to of my head at shower time. Life continues to ebb and flow but in the grand scheme of things that is what it is all about. Loving life for all it offers is what I seek to do all day every day.

Just some thoughts

Every now and again I hear or see a thought or thoughts that cause me to think for a moment or for a while and may even become etched in my memory... one such thought is "we do not control the hand we are dealt" and this has had me thinking. I often wonder why the persons who die when they do are allowed to? and although I have some conclusions they continue to be reworked as I get older and wiser (I like to think). There is one thought that a friend (from prep school) posted today that puts it into perspective in this moment for me "even the fear of death is nothing compared to the thought of not having lived authentically" and that is what we are called to do all the while remembering to do to others as you would have them do to you. Simply put we are called to live everyday to the best of our ability and that will mean different things to different people, but I exhort you to do the just that. We are not meant to live each others lives (I don't think) but we can support and lend help in whatever way or whereever we can.

So once again I exhort you do the best you can with what you have been given for we do not control the hand we are dealt and just live, live, live your life!!!!!

The 1st Sisterlocks Training class for 08'

Master Trainer Michelle Bryant

Associate Trainer Marclin Barrett (my consultant)

So much has happened and is happening, well for starters I was in the first sisterlocks training class for 08 here is a post of a pic of the group we were a happy bunch. The class was so ah lemme see enlightening I learnt quite a bit about hair of African desent and so much about sisterlocks....... after the course was finished I felt like I did what I was supposed to do. So you might ask do I have any plans nope but I find sometimes no plans works better for me (: so I am working on my mannequin head, and as my consultant said she is my first client then to the real heads. But I have absolutely no regrets and I am happy I was able to do it. So when my name appears on the sisterlocks website you know why its not a fluke I did the class (:

Now my DH and I are planning another move so I am leaving my job and heading back home and at this moment thats all I know and I will keep you posted on any developments, lets just say I am taking it all in strides... thats all I can do at the moment.

For those of you wondering mum ja was visted by a stalker in cyber space so she has deleted her blog but she will be back she has given me her word love you mum looking forward to the return (:

On the hair front I prefer the green tea formulation at the moment but I realised after my last shampoo that I need the moisture treatment for conditioning, I actually had to apply some directly to my dry hair because it was needed to be soothed. Feels the better for it. So lemme see is that it oh I almost forgot the new gadget I got for Christmas, I am getting the hang of it and my laptop is not able to log onto the internet so the pics for the time being will be few but I will try to keep them coming. Like you said you wanted to see me but I like posts with pics (: So in a nut shell thats what I have been up to.

Alot on my mind

So I am just going to vent.....lemme start of by saying I was not in the 'system' at my job so I did not get paid on the designated day so you know I felt like I was going to blow a gasket I was so pissed!!!!! It took me three hours to settle down and I never got paid till the next day so do I have a right to be pissed?????? Lessons learnt make sure i ask if I have filled out all the necessary documantation when I start woking even though I do not believe it is my resposibility!!!!! The next thing is I am working in an environment where the energies are so negative!!! I am learning so much but the negative energy is sapping my strength!!!!! sure I toyed with the idea of leaving but I have decided it must not be because I am running away I have to learn how to toughen up nuh true? whats a gurl to do?

I also need to decide where I want to go with my career cause I dont want to lose the energy of love I have for it presently, I mean and I really would love to have more control over my time!!!! oh lawd I feel like I am complaining no not really I am venting!!!!

So on the positive note I got paid and I have some money my own for the first time in almost 5 years so thats great (:

Oh another thing I have a post paid phone so I go to buy a phone card and I did not check the card before I left the store it turns out it was not for the amount I wanted so I go back and the young lady behind the counter says I have to come back when the lady who sold me the card is there hmmmm I drove away thinking I would just forget it but I am not gonna lesson learnt check the values on cards when purchased (:

However I am fine loving my life and everything about it family, friends and even those who teach me to be strong!!!
one love, loving life and my sister locks still

Life on the streets of the republic

gotta drive in this most days(:

I am driving home today, I am down town the second city aka Montego Bay aka the republic, and there was so much traffic and people and traffic and more people, boy I am wondering if this is the way it is all the time or the city is just happy the JLP won (: they swept the 'west' Listen I am now convinced if you can drive in this city you can drive any where. Every one especially the taxi drivers drive with no respect or regard for any one else on the road and the pedestrians I swear they all have licences plates on their butts !!!!! or at least they should but that said there is never a dull moment on these roads..... but I am enjoying every minute of it, as crazy as this sounds.

The only reason I dont have pics, my camera was home not in my bag where it usually is, but you know I am gonna get some.

Life after Dean

Well life has continued but we my family (my DH and I) have much to do we lost pretty much everything (that was in the house we call home) as a result of DEAN's water + wind = roof damage. We now have a major clean up and rennovation on our hands but we are taking it one moment at a time. We have life, each other and our families and so we press on. Added to that is the fact that we are away from home (the house) but none the less we press on. On a hair note this is just one more time its good to have locks that I care for myself so no hair worries or stress. There are some questions I would like to put out here in the blog world

• what is the best way/s to salvage books and papers that have been totally soaked through?
• when you have to go to work at different hours (on a shift) what are some food items that can be utilized for breakfast and at lunch time (when you are preparing yourself) ? I could/should do some research but I think the responses I get here are likely to be more creative (:
• can anyone suggest a good brand of support stockings? one that can be worn all day (:
• and any tips for doing presentations to large groups of varying demographics would appreciated (:
• there are some other topics I thought of today but as of now I cannot remember what they are (: but when I do I will be sure to post them?

thanks so much for your support

ps I have a post I typed a while back its gonna come after this it should have been posted first (: but eh

Dean
