I Said a Mother's Prayer for You!

In honor of my beautiful, loving, caring, kind-hearted Mother:

I Said a Mother's Prayer for You!

I said a Mother's Day prayer for you
to thank the Lord above
for blessing me with a lifetime
of your tenderhearted love.

I thanked God for the caring
you've shown me through the years,
for the closeness we've enjoyed
in time of laughter and of tears.

And so, I thank you from the heart
for all you've done for me
and I bless the Lord for giving me
the best mother there could be!

It's My One-year Nappiversay Ya'll.

Tuesday February 17, 2009 represents a pivotal moment in history for me.

I begin my transition to napptural hair beginning August 24, 2007 after receiving my last chemical fire cream fix.

I BC'ed (did the Big Chop) on February 17, 2008.

Please view my hair album by clicking "here".

I dedicate the first year of my napptural success to YOU!!! My internet sistahs, for helping me make it this far in my journey.

Without the community of my online napptural hair families, I wouldn't be here.
