Why blog?

Why blog?  That is a question I had to ask myself.  I already Facebook to share my life there but blogging is different.  I saw blogging as an intimate way to share my life and the things I have going and are dear to my heart.  Being that this is my first post I have not a clue what to say other than HELLO!  

I just wrapped up the first week of a new year and it was wonderful.  I have a whole new chance to do and be something different & that is what I plan to do.  I started my preparations for 2011 in the summer of 2010 actually.  I started to grow my hair out (no more chemicals/perms).  I wore micro braids for about 3 months, didn't realize I probably shouldn't keep them in that long.  To my surprise when I removed my braids my hair had begun to lock.  Well, that was my goal wasn't it?  Once I saw the state of my hair I being to twist and twirl the wonderful new hair I had.  I also visited YouTube and found some great videos on starting dreads.  In the end this is what I ended up with:

I totally love my hair!  I know I need to re-twist the front but I'll wait for 2 weeks, I don't want to over tighten my fresh new baby locks!
