Newness in Life with Mrs. Jai G: May 2010

First and foremost, shout-outs to God and to my followers (those linked in and those that continue to stop by and read my blog): Thank you! :)

Well, my Natural hair journey is still going strong (almost 6 months)...yay!! It has, however, taken a turn that I didn't see coming. Everyone knows that I wanted a Diana Ross/Macy Gray size afro. My hair texture is the springy coils and it appeared to be going in the direction that I dreamed. However, my soon-to-be sister-in-law asked me (3 weeks ago) if I wanted my hair done. Hair done?? I had no clue as to what I would want other than flat twists on a blow-out. She recommended comb coils/twists and I loved it. Everyone loves them (minus a few ppl)! I mean, the transformation caused me to see things differently. Jai with locs... I made these funky crochet earrings to match the look and BAM!!! Even my fiance loves (well, likes) the new look more than the 'fro. He loves length and since I BC'ed in December 09, he has not been happy. He wants my hair on my shoulders like it used to be. Well, he can actually see the length (5 inches) with my new twists and he just smiles. Awwww... I love making him happy. He even touched my hair...a first without instruction! Wow! It's been 3 wks and I saw growth on my most first re-twist. I am excited as my hair sprouts into its destiny. With that being said, I decided to dread my hair. I don't believe that I will change my mind... Oh, before I forget, I didn't see my ringlets on my re-twist...? So I am wondering what would my hair look like if I decided not to dread? Inquiring minds want to know.

In other news, Dad preached an awesome sermon tonight (Praise Tabernacle) and praise/worship by myself and Lisa went well. To God be the Glory. If it touches only one person, you have walked in your purpose.

My mister and I took photos last week and they are very beautiful. Not because I'm in it...who am I kidding? LOL Let me quit, I am not vain! But I have oodles of confidence and self-esteem! If I can figure out how to post one, I will so you can see them.

Until next time or next photo :)....be blessed!
