Love to Love my daughters hairstyles

 we go-ogled hairstyles for Black Little Girls and found this style - it was late at night since I get off of work late and I co- washed her hair and the put some leave in conditioner and I parted down the middle and Created each ponytail  one by one and split the hair in the ponytail into two  braids and then I began to connect in the Kriss Cross manner from ponytail holder to ponytail holder 



she slept with a satin cap and then woke up , got dressed for school and SHE LOVED IT !

so do we as grown folks blame others for the burdens we suffer now - i understand people can be influential in your life - and people can help us make decision that may be good or not good for us later down the road - but do we continue to blame the situation on people or do we begin to stop blaming others for decisions made and admit that was immature of me, I am grown now and needs to begin make solutions and move forward like time #LifeLessons #LiveLearnandBehappy not restless ,grumpy and tired of being tired

Biracial Hair by Zora Howard

I have bi-racial hair
Pantene Pro-V waves on the top
Easy to style, comb, rock-
Until-I encounter my naps,
I’m not talking about those-cute detangle with the spray naps.
I’m talking about those, slave naps, like,
No comb, brush, or man can handle the kind of naps I got- like,
No way you are touching my hair-naps like
Back 10 feet up, or we can dance naps
Those naps like-
DAMN!
I have bi-racial hair,
Those smooth and silk rafts hanging all through my mane,
Until you get to the back, and encounter the jungle, in which you can find Tarzan and Jane.
In the front you forget and relax in the pleasure,
Until you get to the back and remember pain
Baby hair slicked back with that good 4 dollar pomade,
That goes with roots and tangles,
Soaked with that same olive oil; mixed with that spaghetti sauce momade.
I have bi-racial hair,
Combs run freely through my fine breezy, just to the part, the most you can make,
Until it gets to the back and
Breaks.
I have bi-racial hair
Like-
The only thing my mother could put it in was 2 big braids,
And sometimes that was to much,
So she left half undone.
I was in the mirror, I was in the mirror,
Convincing my self I looked just like a dark-skinned Alicia Keys
I have bi-racial hair,
because I have bi-racial blood.
I’m not talking about that-cute they met then fell in love, blood
I’m talking about that- slaved raped six times by the master,
Birthing 6 mixed babies, later hung blood
I’m talking about that cross burning in the mud, blood
And you call me a mud blood,
Slit my rist,
my blood does not excrete in black and white.
I drean in verse and in red
Like what drained from Emmit Tills’ lips when he was killed for breaking down color lines
Bi-racial who surcomes to the abuse from her peers in her middle school,
Those whose who constantly called me an Oreo
Well she’s not white, its more like Reese’s cookie, mixed breed or a mullato
That’s what it is a reverse mulatto
I AM NOT A FUCKING COOKIE OR A BITCH!
My roots are deep too
my bi-racial roots are not blind
or more than cotton soft
cause my blood were in the sun, picking cotton too
a thousand times discrated for my race
a thousand time discrated from my history y'all never get
let textbooks be your truth
and sprinkle the ashes of your history into streams
i dream for a time and place where
maybe y'all all accept me
maybe we need to wake up again and remember a morning of you
like something new
baby I'll be green cause my people drove there
you people drove me there
with my tender heart
tender head

Dare to Love

The heart is more deceitful than all else and it always pursue that which feels right at the moment



Scornful - Word of the week

The truly happy person 
doesn’t follow wicked advice, 
doesn’t stand on the road of sinners, 
and doesn’t sit with the disrespectful----<--- I have seen where not to be seated this week - its always been there - my eyes opened up to much understanding of the word (SCORNFUL) my personal word of the Week- it means "know it all" -God help me to not be scornful and when I See it in others around - strengthen me to encourage and love them anyway-but do not allow me to sit with them in being scornful - I love you Lord
