I have been out of the loop for a while. All I know is that a hiatus is needed for me right now....
Please be in prayer for me if you think of me... Satan is busy and I am laying on my face daily and seeking the Lord for my next steps !!!
Love and miss you guys,

Some Journaling I have done...
Here are a couple of journaling pieces that I have done since being loc'd... From beginning of my loc journey up until the end of Nov. '06. I read them often and wanted to share them on my blogspot... If it sounds like I have repeated myself,I probably have... :)
Its a hard time for me... especially during the holidays...
This year has been wonderful and quite exciting as well as hard and frustrating!!! I got married in April to my high school sweetheart who I have known over 14yrs. And we are beginning to gel as family.... its really, really neat. And then I begin to think how my mom would've felt about me gettin married and I think back to '95 (11/29) when she passed and all of the memories I have come flooding in. How I wish she was here to see her baby girl married and doing good and to see her granddaughter that looks like her and talks like her grow up....
And then I think about my father passing last year (Dec.14th) and wishing that he could have walked me down the aisle instead of my brother.... Its just crazy....
Too all of those who have lost someone dear and the holiday some what suck for you because they aren't here, its ok to cry and be mad.... but know that it was their time when they left and they aren't suffering anymore... The pain never really goes away, but the good memories make it easier to cope...
I pray that each and everyone of you remembers that good things about the people that have gone on before you and remembers also to tell the little ones that weren't born yet about the history left behind...
God Bless you all,
Jen

I am loving life...
I have hit the one month mark with two days added to it... Yay me !!!
I am sooo thankful and honored to have a head full of hair that I can take care of with integrity and know that my hair won't look like everyone else's... Even with SL's, everyone's locs lock in different patterns. Thats what makes them unique. I am also thankful for everyone who has graced my page and photo albums. I am soooo glad alot of you have created journals. They are more powerful and uplifting than you will ever realize...
That lets me know that people want to know and are curious about my hair and myself. I am sure as time progresses and my locs mature, I will have more pictures and journal writings...
My husband had a feeling that once we got a camera, I would have it more. :) For my journal that is and for our daughter. My first retightening is on the 28th (Nov). I will take pictures then. After that I will take pics on a every month basis unless I come up with some more styles to do with my SL's....

Take care to everyone who passes thru....
Blessings

Almost a month old... ya'll
I am 3 days away from having my SL's a month.. I am loving my hair.... Its truly amazing...I have fun with my hair everyday... :)
Having sisterlocks has changed my whole mind set about life.... When Dr. Cornwell says its not just a hairstyle, its a lifestyle, its true....
I have changed my eating habits, I workout more... I even started taking vitamins for real... Created on: 11/13/06
Three Weeks and having an affair with my hair
I am not going to do anymore pics until I hit the 1 month mark. But, I am noticing that my hair has become truly my personality. Its bouncy, my true color shines through (like my spirit) and its very versatile. As I have always wanted to be.
I am glad that there was another alternative to showcase my natural hair. Thank you Dr. Cornwell !!! (www.sisterlocks.com)I truly believe that I am gorgeous and don't need anyone else's approval except the Lord's... And that was the main reason why I did it. So that I couldn't hide anymore...
Hiding behind chemicals and destroying the true essence of who I was...
Not anymore...

My journey in lockdom has been amazing so far
I can now wash and style my SL's. I am excited because I have read some many other's journals about the different styles that I am ready to try a couple of them.. :)
To everyone who has taken the loc plunge, I appreciate all your blogs and journals. They are indeed inspiring and uplifting...

Hours shy of two week old SL's....
Tommorrow (10/30) it will officially two weeks since being in the sisterlock family. My locs have changed soooo much in two weeks. :)
I love the fact that my sisterlocks are soft and really curly at the ends...
Got a question. Does anyone else have the same tingling feeling when your locs are forming?? It feels as if someone is ticking my hair strands....
I go see my consultant and then I will be able to finally wash these bad girls...
More pics to come...

Its been one week and two days since I entered the gates of lockdom :)
I have finally been able to get some pics in. My official bday is 10/16... :) Since 2000, I have wanted to lock my hair but was afraid because of what my family may think or what people at work may think or do.
I didn't think I would be accepted or keep a job. But thats before I found out about sisterlocks.... I didn't find out about SL's until the beginning of this yr ('06) from my godmother who has SL's...
I knew it wasn't time when I wanted to lock my hair because other things got in the way. But finally, in 2006, I was able to do the very last goal on my "coming out " list.. :) I have never felt better...
And I have finally come out of my shell and gotten rid of everyone else's opinions and thoughts and decided to go what I have always wanted to do ( of course I wanted to talk to the Lord before I did it and make sure my husband was okay with it. )

Journey to Freedom and Greatness.... thru my natural tresses....
I have been natural since '99 and I am sooooo thankful for sisterlocks. They have provided an avenue for me to truly come into my own for real personality.. :)
I feel so vibrant and free !!!!!!!!!!

You know....
I never knew that I would feel soooo free with my hair loc'd.... I had heard from the people that I knew had locs feeling more confident and had a transformation of themselves because of their locs.... I wanted to check out what all of the "hooplah" was about. So my godmother (Ms. Cathy) kept telling me about Ms. Elaine (my consultant now) and sisterlocks... She even gave me my first magazine on Sisterlocks. And when I saw how beautiful these women were and how proud they looked with their locs, I wanted that same thing....
For a looooooong time (lol), I wanted to be who everyone wanted Jenn Jenn to be. And I made myself sick every single and didn't realize I was loosing the parts of Jenn Jenn I knew in the process.... I prayed and asked the Lord to show me what I needed to do as fas as knowing who I was... And over time, the Lord answered me... I am truly thankful and grateful that the Lord didn't give up me... That He allowed to go thru so that I could bless someone else in the process.... I love Him SO !!!!!! I love that the Lord will cradle you in His arms and whisper in your ear that you are in His care and that He has you..... I am going to stop there before tears flow....
God Bless Each of You Who Reads This.... And I also pray that you see the Lord in a new way everyday !!!
Oh before I forget... I LOVE MY LOCS !!!!!! :)

Isn't it amazing....
How good God is.... You never know when someone is truly looking out for you and praying for you or your family silently... Chosen Vessel is indeed a true woman of God who doesn't mind sharing the gospel.. You can tell she has a heart for the Lord... And she loves people!!!!!! Like me.. :) I am honored to have met a wonderful woman of God in Chosen Vessel and in Blaqkofi... I am excited about meeting some more of my family....
I love to be around people who don't mind talking about how good the Lord is to them and not afraid to live it either... I pray that more people would come out of the woodworks and profess their love for Jesus.... :)

My 3rd retightening...
I love when I go to get my locs retightened... Ms. Elaine is quick, she's as sweet as punch and will keep you rolling when you are in her care... :) I took pics as I was driving home and while at my sister's.... I have some fun with my camera.....
I can tell that I have new babies in the front from my session (2*27*07)... Ms. Elaine can find that hair that's not loc'd yet and get it there....
How many of you w/SL's have your bead da beads loc'd up? (LOL)I am just curious... Some of mine are.... check it out..

I am proud of the family the Lord has given me and let me be a part of... Introducing my daughter Deaven and my hubby James..

Going down memory lane....
These are pictures of my rollers set with ConAir foam rollers. I like soft spikes curlers best... The last alot longer and you don't have " fuzzies ".......
These were also taking in Nov. '06 right after Thanksgiving.... I went to a cotillion ball for my godsister.
This picture below was taking on Thanksgiving.. I was enjoyin cooking w/my mama (in law). Cooking with her has become a tradition I love.. I get to spend time with a woman who has loved me as her own daughter since I was 16 in the kitchen... :)That's what I'm talking about..
Pics, Pics and more Pics...
This is me trying the braid out again and using the soft spike curlers for the ends.. I like curling the ends... they give the style a cleaner finish to me...More pics to come..........
I love my locs !!!!!!!!!
Crimped Looked is indeed cute...
This is my first braid o ut... I thought it went well.. I think my locs are close to being 2 and 1/2 months old when my babygirl helped mommy takes these pics...
Soft Spiker Curlers Rock !!!(Dec '06)
This is me... with my soft spike curlers !!!! I was having too much fun sooo early in the morning...
Wow... I've come this far by faith... Leaning on the Lord.
I believe I took this picture at the beginning of Nov. of '06 (2 1/2 weeks after I rec'd my locs).. I was loving my new camera and testing it out every chance I could...
As I am looking back at these pics, my hair has come such a long way. And this journey has taught me patience with my hair... (view first post)....
I am sleepy, yet excited....
You have the back profile of my locs and a side view of my locs...
These pics were taken at about midnight one full week and some days (10*25*06) after my SL's were installed.. :) My locbday is 10*16*06... I believe I had about 8' for Ms. Elaine to work with.. She installed them in 12 hours...:)Lovin My Locs...
I never thought I would have loc'd my hair... I have been natural since '99 and tried everything known to man regarding different styles.... I was finally ready to loc in 2006... I love my locs... They are unique and people stop me and ask all of the time, are those SL's??? I love it !! I excitedly respond, why yes they are...This pic was taken at my 4th month mark... I am coming up on my 5 month.. :) I can't, I repeat... can't keep my hands out of my hair...
I am going to share the pictures I have been taking since the beginning of my journey....
Nappily Yours,
Jenn Jenn
