Merry Christmas!

I know I've been away, but I've been working this season. It certainly hasn't been easy and I have been drained physically. I've been trying to keep up with exercising and eating right and this has not been an easy task.

Still God is faithful and I'm making it.

I recently discovered that I have an interest in someone. I would only grade it as a Crush right now because I only know him on the surface. But he has a smile that would light up any room and just seems to have a great personality. A smooth creamy chocolate and just all around handsome. I'll call him my Chocolate Mcdreamy.....

I've been chatting with him when I run into him and it doesn't hurt that he goes to my church. But I'll keep you updated on a possible connection. I'm working on it! LOL...

I hope everyone has a Fabulous Christmas! Be Blessed and Not Stressed!

Take Care of You!

Let's Talk about it!

Just a quick note

To say Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! Hope you had a Great One!

Vacation! Wooohooo

Hey Everyone....

A sista' is now on VACATION! officially starting today! I don't have to be back to work until December 1st and I am doing absolutely nothing. I mean... just little meander stuff... like today i went out to breakfast with a friend and then later someone took me out to lunch... and now I'm just chilling.

I do plan to make some youtube vids though.... maybe on some products... maybe on some hair.... maybe just about me. I'm finding out I like to talk to the camera a little more than I realize. If you want to check out my channel it can be found at.http://www.youtube.com/user/Mechee007
It seems like suddenly I've picked up a couple of things that keeps me active on the technical side like blogging and now... youtubing..LOL.... It should prove to be interesting.

I guess people can get a sense of what your about when your on camera. Humans are interesting...LOL...

Take care of You!

..He's So Faithful!

Hello Everyone!

I just feel good in my spirit. Even though my feet are hurting because I worked all day on my feet at my second gig, and the day was long... I feel good. God is just awesome..... And so many times we take it for granted that we are going to be here from one day to the next, but I just wanted to take time to say ... God I need you! That I can't make it without you! He is so worthy of all the praise.. Glory and Honor. I love him today! And most of all He is faithful when we are not. Thank God for Grace & Mercy!

We go and ask him for this and for that because we are always needing something, but the Lord likes to know that he is worthy, and that he is awesome, wonderful, loving and just great.

Right now I am really enjoying Tye Tribbett's new album Stand Out, if you don't have it... pick it up.. it's really awesome. Full of praise and worship songs that just makes you think of the Goodness of God.

This is one of my favorite songs on the cd.

Bon Qui Qui

Anytime I need a good laugh I look at this video... It's hilarious to me anytime I look at it. Enjoy...

Computer Love...

So amongst the changes that I've made with myself.. being natural and physical, I have decided to get back into the dating scene.

*sighs* Why is this so difficult?

The possibility of getting to know someone is exciting and at the same time nerve racking. With the age of the Internet there are all kinds of new possibilities to meet someone new. Someone you may not have ordinarily ran across.

So to expand my horizons I decided to join a couple of dating services online. I joined Match.com and Blackmendating.net.. (I think that's the name). I'm not entirely new to this arena and really it can be time consuming. I'm not in a rush so I am willing to take my time.

On these sites you do have to be careful. I never give my number to a man unless I feel absolutely comfortable. I need to get to know the person. I ask to chat with them online first before talking on the phone. Sometimes a chat can help you decide whether you want to take this to another level... trust me.. most times I can tell from just a chatty conversation.

If I like someone enough to after the chat and they make it to a phone call, I always offer to get their number and I tell them that I'm going to call them private.. until I get comfortable with them.

Then ... if they make it to meet me, I bring a friend, and she asks him for his I.D. and stays with me until I tell her it's okay to leave. It has been times in the past where I didn't feel comfortable (and I always meet at a public place) and I ended up leaving with her.... and out of their life.

So far since I've been back in the game... I can't even get past a chat conversation. I don't know if it's because I'm older and I'm just more aware of what I desire, or if its just some idiots out there..LOL.... But I've already cancelled my membership with Match.com... I've decided that It's just a Hookup site.

And that's another thing.. there are so many people on there who have girlfriends and wife's.. you really have to be careful.

With all that being said..... I know God will send the right one when it's time. But I am open to date again... and that's the first step.

Take care of you!

Happy 1 Year Nappiversary!

If you don't know that I'm a nappy Gal.... You've been at my place totally blind. But I'm so proud to say that Today... THIS DAY... November 3 IS MY NAPPIVERSARY! 1 year all natural and it has been an exciting journey . I am totally looking forward to great things my second year. I've broken stereotypes that you only can wear you hair in an afro, that your only limited to one style, when some of you know that being natural is totally about versatility and creativity. It is a Blessing to show off the Kinks and Curls that God has Blessed us with!





I was explaining to one of my good friends, He is married and he wants me to talk to his wife about going natural. He was going on explaining that she doesn't have "bad" hair. HOOOOLLLLD UP!...LOL.. So you know I had to break it down to him. There is no Bad hair. I tell anyone in order to love your own hair, you have to fall in love with natural hair.... However it comes. I dont look at it as texture I see it as a beautiful head of hair. Hair is Beautiful, no matter what the texture... it's all about how u rock it! Only after you fall in love with natural hair can you accept your hair. Because the truth is...... My hair is not going ot be like yours and vice versa. Being natural is your own personal journey. It's about self acceptance and loving yourself. I believe naturals have the highest of self esteem that I've seen. To overcome what is accepted of the world as far as hair is concerned is awesome!




but anyway... I wasn't trying to go on and on about that, but I guess that was dear to my heart. But what I wanted to share was this video I created channeling my 1 yr of being natural. Thanks for coming by and celebrating with me!


Take care of you!

RECONCILIATION

Today I was in church and was just reflecting on some things. Someone I knew there was going through some things with her marriage and they ended up separating. I remember listening to her problems and understanding what she was going through with her marriage.

I had been there. And when she told me of her hurts and woes... we bonded.

A couple of Sundays ago she walked in with him, and I was kind of caught off guard. ... and I think I was disappointed. I spoke but I felt so uneasy. All I could think was, hmmm they are working that out. Ok.

So today as I looked at the both of them sitting next to each other in service... my thoughts were, they really look happy. So why at that time was I so disappointed? I mean it was like I was disappointed in her for taking him back. Was it the bonding? The sharing of war stories of what he hath done to me? When truly I should be happy.

God honors marriage, and you should want to make it work. Should want to honor the design of family. I felt a sense of relief today, because I felt that there were things in me that I needed to let go.

Those things that happened to my marriage and I couldn't work it out is not anyone else's problem... My God... it was almost 15 years ago and it appears that maybe I'm still holding on to a little anger from that situation and I shouldn't revisit it when someone tells me about a situation that is similar. I should be able to share my experience in the hopes of helping someone else. Maybe shed light so that they can work through it to get back together.

When we talked I didn't encourage her to leave... she already had left. I just shared my experience to let her know that she can make it and let her know that everything was going to be alright. And I'm ok with that....

So today... I let it go.

Sometimes you have to reconcile with yourself in order to go forward.

Take care of u...

Living In the Spotlight....

By now everyone has heard about the tragedy with Jennifer Hudson. It's really shocker and so so sad. My heart and heartfelt sympathy goes out to her and family. This morning they found her 7 year old nephew dead in the suv.

All day on the radio, because Chicago is her hometown, they played songs of encouragement and the city continually called giving their condolences. Some crying, Some recanting their own horror stories of losing a loved one. The whole City seemed to be aching.

In my worst dreams I could not imagine what the family is going through. Jennifer had to go and I.D. all of the bodies. Imagine the sheer horror of that. But most of all losing those that are closest to you in a blink of a moment. To get a phone call while your working telling you that something terrible has happened. At that moment trying to recall the last conversation you had. Did you tell them you Love them? You appreciated them. When was the last time you gave a hug to someone.... and the last argument.... why did we even argue? It just doesn't matter anymore.

But most of all I know that everyone is saying... oh Jennifer... but what about the sister who has had a great loss. Her 7 year old son. She has to feel so bad. You lost your Mom, brother and your son. What a blow.

Love your family. Those around you and cherish life.. It is much too short.

Take care of u....

His Lame Excuses!

Today I was listening to Doug Banks on the radio and on Friday they take email letter questions, problems etc and read them on the radio. So today they read a letter from a man and to sum it up it went a little like this (not his exact words..)

Dear Doug,

I am a good hard working man who loves and takes care of my fiancee. She is the love of my life, my soul mate but she just doesn't do it for me in bed. She is a hard worker, has a degree, cooks, cleans and takes care of my needs.... all except the bedroom.
One time her cousin came over and we had sex and it was incredible. It was the best sex that I EVER HAD. I felt bad about this, but would see her every once in a while because she satisfied my needs sexually.
So the cousin invited me to a party, and it was some kind of freak party. Well my fiance's sister showed up and they said I had to have sex with the both of them or they were going to tell my fiancee. It was again the best sex I ever had! but they are now black mailing me to continue to have sex with them or they will tell my fiancee everything. I don't want to lose her so I have to keep doing this... what should I do?

So.. ... Doug banks was going on talking about... "awww this poor guy..... what is he supposed to do"
Oh my goodness... are u kidding me? Who would feel sorry for him? Me and my coworkers was discussing this and we were like, he kept saying that he was not a bad person and that he wasn't scum etc, but trying to make it seem like it was OK to do what he's doing because HE LIKES IT. He mentioned several times how much he enjoyed having sex with these women. Do you really think someone is blackmailing him? How come you just don't come clean?

because... DUH u like having sex with the other women who satisfy your sexual needs. Which makes me think that maybe he needs to re-evaluate his situation with his fiancee. If she's not giving u all that u need.... then she is not all that desire!

I think blackmail is a lame excuse to keep cheating...

Everyone have a Great weekend...
Take care of u!

MY NEW SHOW-THE REAL ALANTA HOUSWIVES

Will the REAL Desperate Housewives PLEASE STAND UP! You know..... I've watched this show a couple of times and I tell you it's something to see a bunch of rich, black women just showing they bootay's on TV. They are just like regular women except they have money. They are Ghetto sometimes, Loud, Catty, Nice and heartfelt and stinkin' rich! Concieted and have nothing to do with their lives then spend money, have custom made clothes, and reak negativity when needed.

I am not familiar with everyone's name on the show just yet... but I'm sure I will. I know there's a white girl there who I believe is dating a black celebrity who has asked that he remains anonoymous. They all affectionatly call him "Big Poppa". He has showered this young lady with Money beyond reason, an escalade, and she charges his account at a whim for shoes, clothes and etc. And somehow she has hooked up with Dallas Austin because she decided that when she grows up she wanted to be a famous country singer.

Needless to say... she can't sing a tune to save her life! and this is why I believe that the celebrity is black that she is dating. None of her friends even knew how she had a Dallas Austin Hookup?? but the funny thing is.... Superhead in her book had a guy she was messing with, who wanted to remain anonoymous also and she also called him..."Big Poppa". Coincidence?

You tell me?

Stay Tuned.....

Take care of u!

Uneventful Sunday

My Sunday was pleasant.... It moved at a steady pace. I went to church today and last night I decided to blow out my hair with a warm press. I'm really scared to really press it, I mean God forbid my curlies don't come back! Ugggh... I'd be devasted! but I had HUGE hair today, but I loved it. I rocked it like only a Nappy girl could... with fly jewerly and hot makeup... it looked nice... Not everyone understands it.. but hey .. it's cool.

Today I stopped by my Fotki spot. ( http://members.fotki.com/BEAUTI75) checked it and then went to my email. Recently Fotki has put a "contact me" button on everyone's page which I thought was kinda' cool. But never did I think that someone would contact me. You know.. the NappyNetwork just leave notes in the GB. Well I had an email from someone so excited about finding my album. She went on to thank me and said that Me and her mother are hair twins and she so excited because she thinks my album will help her.

I thought... this is Great! You just never know who you can reach out and touch in the smallest ways... and it really made my day. I want the whole world to be nappy..LOL.. but hey I'll take one head at a time!

Until my next post... Take care of you.....

My Arrival....

Chello Everyone. I've blogged in many places, but for some reason I avoided this place. I don't know if it's the pressure of advertising yourself so someone will actually read what your thinking? Or the fact that it's not the easiest place to browse and just pick up friends who may have the same interests as you...

But, I have been looking for a new spot since Yahoo360 kinda' went down hill and all my peeps left there. I don't blog on a daily basis, but I love to write and express myself. One of these days... If I ever get serious I would love to be published. (I have a lot of unfinished projects),

But anyway... I'm here, and this is a great start right?

.......Talk to you soon....
