I had a blast this weekend getting to act 16 again! Noelle (my step daughter) & Lauren (aka Lo-Lo-- my niece)asked me to do their hair for their homecoming. Oh my gosh, yes I have a little love affair with hair, ask my hair dresser it has been going on since I was about 13! Thank God my hair guy, John, loves me or he would have fired me by now. Yes, I am the client that knows more than I should & gets myself into all kinds of trauma. LOL! I just think that I can cut my hair better than anyone else can- I mean I know MY hair & all its quirks! I am always doing something to it... :) I have my regulars that love me, trust me & let me get out all my creative juices. But nothing is more fun then getting to do fancy hair! The girls looked SO beautiful so my job was going to be easy.

It is soo crazy to see my girls growing up. I know that it is bitter sweet & that a lot of parents find it sad to see their babies get big. I understand that, but there is something so wonderful to knowing that they are growing into beautiful individuals (inside beauty too!) I think I enjoy who each of you are more now than ever before. I love our long talks & secret pow-wows, trips to get coffee & laughing til we cry. To know that no matter what happens or what curves life throws at you, you always have someone in your corner cheering you on (ps- that is me!)
Noelle, you are my fireball! I never know what I am going to get with you. You really do have it all. You have risen above & reversed a generational curse. I am so proud of who you are. You are the girl everyone wants to be like & they have good reason to. Not everyone has always understood our relationship & granted we have had our bumps in the road but we both know that when it all is said & done that what we share is special, unique & most of all REAL! "She's sun & rain, she's fire & ice, a little crazy, but its nice..."
Lo, Laur Laur, Lauren, girl I have been watching you since birth & you are GIFTED! Brains & Beauty. My words cannot begin to tell you how proud I am of how far you have come. Once a little girl afraid of everything, now a rare beauty for the world to see. I know that the past few years have not been easy to say the least but you have shown maturity beyond your years. You have a solid head on your shoulders, you know what is right in every situation. "You can turn the world on with your smile" Don't let anything or anyone hold you back from being all that God designed you to be!
Hannah Banana, I missed you! It was not the same without you. You are such a creative beauty. You have more talent than you know or give yourself credit for. You can be who you choose to be, artist, designer, forensics- just in whatever you choose BE YOU & do not apologize for who YOU are. You are fearfully & wonderfully made! It took me a long time to learn this lesson, don't let life pass you by. Jump in head first! You cannot fail at being you & you will not fail if you try.
love you girls more than you'll ever know & know I am in your corner cheering you on!
