I know that the last time I posted I was surely to update you all on the hair and fashion on Bonaire, netherland Antilles. Unfortunately I was not able to. I did see that all the women absolutely love red/burgandy/maroon hair, but that was it. I was so wrapped up with my family that I felt ....work can wait. This is one issue come face to face with daily. It is the balance of family,work, marriage and me time.Well as you can see family won this battle. It is not hard ...I admit that sometimes I am a workaholic, or even a perfectionist but ...I do it all in moderation and balance thank God I work for myself! The island is beautiful and I could definately see myself spending two or so months out of the year to write, relax ,and get charged up for the hustle we call life in the states.This vacation has taught me more patience as well as being grateful for what I already have. I once said to my cousin that success is different for many people and as far as I am concerned ...if you live you dream daily then you are successful.Simple living with a strong sense of pride is what I have picked up from the locals here. It has been a different learning experience. The only thing that is done here in which like is "siesta" that is a time beteen 12pm-3pm when most businesses close for lunch. They are able to go home...my fav take a nap etc. Can you imagine in the states 12pm-3pm you could just leave your job and return at 3pm. I DO NEED TO ASK THE QUESTION IF THEY ARE PAID FOR THAT. But for sanity sometimes that pay does not matter a bit. Until later
More Hair, Nekesa J Smith
I have worn many hairstyles but I must admit that I am in love with my Diamond Cut Twist (TM) starter locs.I have always wanted to loc my hair but after being patient with everyone else's hair I just did not have the patience with my own. I have tried loc extentions and just letting my hair "be" twice before but I can say that I am in it for the long run. I am patiently enjoying every step towards locing my hair. Here are some pic of having them for the first tie in april until now July so lets see and feel free to go on this journey with me. Until Later
