Women Re-shaping the World!

Yesterday when I logged into my Facebook account one of the first posts that I saw was from cousin Jozelle: "Your period of 'testing' only ends when God's purpose has been accomplished...so if you are still going through it...hold fast, be strong, trusting that the end the Lord has in store is Perfect. Be blessed everyone."

There are few women who want to be everything like their mother's as much as we may admire these women in our lives many of us try our hardest to avoid being too much like them.

Most times we see our mothers as strong women, but we also see them as frail human beings who have made a few mistakes of their own; mistakes in career choices, men, the way they raised us or didn't raise us.  The amount of mistakes we can list I think tells more of our personal development than anything else.

So after years of growing my locks and taking great care in them this idiot from down the road is to turn to me and say I am jealous of his bongo and that my locs "don't have meaning".  Now being who I am I did not call him an idiot to his face but I feel the need to do so now because I don't care to be nice to people with such silly mindsets. I did, however, say to him "You can't tell someone there locks are without meaning; people have locks for different reasons. What is important to you might not be important to someone else" 

I am always amused at how those of us who refer to ourselves as Christians chastise others for wrong doings while committing a wrong as well...lol yes I am judging.
