It's been a great four months and I haven't one complaint. To the contrary, my journey elicits many happy feelings. The best compliment to date was when I was standing with two other beautiful sisters, one with braids, one with a relaxer and myself in the middle. There was a gentlemen who was innocently flirting with all three of us and we all flirted back. However, in the middle of this sorted triangle, he stopped and he said "Sister, I Love your hair!" I tried not to gloat but my high cheek bones gave it away. Imagine that, we constantly think of all the ways society tells us we must conform in order to be considered beautiful and the one act of being natural elicited such a strong and striking response in the midst of it all. I couldn't have asked for a better affirmation. I remember thinking, as I politely said thank you, you ain't seen nothing yet - just wait a few months!

Lovely!
My sincerest appreciation for the shared enthusiasm and love to all of you ....it warms my heart.
Ha Ha Ha!!! That's right girly just take it all in. I know that you felt great. I like moments in the real like that. Sometimes when you don't even "feel" beautiful, the good Lord sends someone your way just to let you know how much you really ARE!!! Nice post/nice blog! Lock on my sister~
