Freedom....


So, I've officially decided to go natural! Yes, I'll still be doing the occasional flat irons but my hair is so much thicker once I took my braids out. I feel like by being natural you have so many more options for hair styles and the Lord knows I have some bad hair days... I'm going to wait until after Christmas and put my yarn braids back in... I loved them and now I know I can go at least a month without wanting to take them down..... I'm just worried b/c I know I have to find a good stylist because I sweat really bad in my head...


Just made an appointment with my LS to get my hair done at her school... she does a good job and I know she's even better now that she's being trained... I really just wanna go so I can show the white people that she knows how to do black hair....
I've been doing a lot, trying to get things together for the undergrads for the Great Lakes Regional Conference....yes it seems so far away but I want to be on top on everything. I'm frustrated b/c I've been trying to finish these roster for months and I'm still waiting on information from two states!!!! grrrrr..... I see why I've always been bad at team work...I don't like depending on others for my outcome and I need to work on my patience (although I'm usually a lot more patient than others)
So....I miss home....I'm getting our plane tickets home to MI for Christmas on Friday! Tomorrow is my brothers 28th b-day..he's getting old but sadly that means I am too.... I love him so much and I hope he has a great day...I gotta put his card in the mail..I know I always wait until the last minute!

Continued Success.....



I'm sitting here with a smile on my face. I'm so happy that I made this decision to move. Week #1 is complete and I have no reason to look back. Everything is going just right! I prayed on this move for a while and I'm happy that everything was clear before I drove 14 hours away from home!!! The drive was crazy long, but surprisingly I didn't really get tired until I got here. Zeus was so ready for it to be over though. The apartment is nice...I'm just in need of a couch!!!! And other little accessories...but Zeus loves it as well....pictures to come!

My other half and I are doing great. I guess when you've known someone since you were 15 years old and they seem to be "roots" like Madea says in your life, you know it's meant to be. We were discussing how girls change their last names on FB to their "boos/bf" or hyphenate them. I told him I'm not changing it until I say "I do". He's been on this "speak things as they will be/speak them into existance" jump lately. I can't complain about that...all I know is that I'm not running anymore. He told me two years ago that I was going to be his wife and I can admit I was scared but, when you leave things in Gods hands it's turns out AMAZING! I think about my fantasy wedding day and all the planning that goes with it.....definitely waiting on that special moment.

I'm going to miss my Sorors in MI/Great Lakes so much. I love Zeta but it's definitely different depending on your Region. I think my Sorors and I at home understand that a lot of young females coming to college aren't always informed about Zeta so we make sure we're out in our communities and on campus showing them that Zeta is the best Sorority. It's a little different here....the Sorors that I've meet have been really nice, but it's just different than home. My LS's Court and Aleesa told me that I can be of help, to maybe give them that inspiration or push to do more. And, I hope that I can be.

But Great Newz....I'm really getting everything in order to possibly run for Nat'l 3rd Anti. Excited b/c I was determined to get Soror Foster's (20th Grand Basileus of Zeta) contact info when we were at Regionals in MN this past April. She not only paid for half of my Z.O.L. Registration but she's now adopted me and my future in Zeta looks so bright!

This is when being far from home comes into play....my brothers g-pa passed away this past week. I really wish I could be there for him during his rough time. I remember when my g-ma past away he was there for me and comforted me. Just like a big brother should...growing up together Norman and I have always gone to each other when things were hectic...I just wish I could give him a hug and tell him I love him and everything will be okay!

I'm praying for my sister and her fam...I'm not sure if everyone knows but there was really bad flooding in Atlanta this past week. She's busy stripping the whole first floor of her house since it was basically underwater.

My new beginning...yes my mommy was right! But, I'm still so ready for it. I talked to Donna Jean today..she's been sick for almost two weeks. Instead of my mommy taking cough medicine she's been making her own "old school" remedy. I say she's just been getting tipsy...lol... my mom is the BEST I love her to death she's so silly....

AMAZING!!
