Me nevva ask fi de hair mi bawn wit,

I acquired it through genes and DNA,

True dat,

Dem tink sey me get more fayva all the way,

If it's not dat,

Dem want fi pat mi head,

Mawning , noon and night,

Sometimes mi haffi ask, if dem

alright,

What is good hair anyway?

Straight?

Wavy?

Curly?

What about neat and tidy?

If there is good hair, there must be bad?

That assumption is very sad,

Thinking that nappy or kinky hair is unacceptable,

Can only make odder people gwon bad and tun into rebel,

Hair is lovely,

No matter the texture or origin,

Whether its processed or virgin,

As long as its kempt and pretty as a picture.

A guy and a girl can be friends.
But sooner or later one will fall for the other.
Maybe too early, maybe too late,
but maybe, just maybe forever.

Friendship often ends in love;
but love in friendship--never.

I catch your eye and you smile
and I feel so much love for you it's insane,
but I feel you looking back at me
with nothing more than friendship.

If I had a dream that could come true,
it would be the one with me and you.
The one where you stood right by my side
and we talked and talked until mornings tide.
You told me you loved me and that you cared,
but when I awoke you weren't there.
So I tried to find a way to your heart,
because cupid's arrow hit my heart.
Though for now we are just friends,
sometimes time makes relationships bend.

Did you ever love someone
and know they didnt care?
Did you ever feel like crying
knowing it would get you no where?
Did you ever look into someones
eyes and say a lil prayer?
Did you ever look into someones heart
wishing you were there?
Did you ever watch someone walk away,
not wanting them to go?
Did you whisper,
"God I love you" but never letting them know?

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly, that he brought home.

One day a small opening appeared he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours. It struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, but, it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. He continued to watch the butterfly, he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and the body would contract. Neither happened!

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was never able to fly.

The man acted with well-intentioned kindness but he didn't understand the consequences. The restricting cocoon and the struggle required to get through the tiny opening, were nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been and we could never fly

So the next time you are faced with an obstacle,
a challenge, or a problem, remember the butterfly.
Struggle a little - then fly!

Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?

In memory of Rachel.......

Rachel, you were only young
with a new family
Your old life was behind you;
you had been set free.

With a husband who adored you
and children whom you loved
This new life you were blessed with
was all that you dreamed of.

The past had been left behind
for you to start anew
But the man you had once married
had been looking for you.

With the help of the Internet
so much he had found out
The new life you were living
he now knew all about.

And so he stalked and waited
for just the right time
To make you listen and talk to you
all that was on his mind.

And when an opportunity
arose when you weren't home
He broke into your basement
waiting till you were alone.

He followed your footsteps
when you walked in the door
Then he climbed up the stairs
to talk to you once more.

As soon as you saw him
you ran screaming up the stairs
Afraid of what would happen
wondering why he was there.

He only said he wanted to talk
to say that he loved you
But in temper he found then beat
the life almost out of you.

Screaming he then dragged you
onto your bed
There he "made love" to you
and punched you in the head.

Throwing you down the stairs
he came at you again
To show how sorry he really was
he then raped you again.

In his anger he then beat you
when your husband phoned
The message saying he loves you
and he'd be late coming home.

Scared and bloodied you fought back
as he continued to beat
Trying as best as you could
with tied hands and feet.

Bruised and battered and crying
a screwdriver in his hand
Stabbing you repeatedly saying
"you never understand!"

Finally in the kitchen
you collapsed from the fight
You were bleeding from everywhere ~
it was not a pretty sight.

Still professing his undying love
he then ran away
And left you there unconscious
to die where you lay.

Your husband came home to find you
on the kitchen floor
He couldn't believe what had happened,
couldn't believe what he saw.

You were taken to the hospital
but after thirteen days
The damage was just too far gone
and you then passed away.

Oh Rachel, you were an advocate
you did not die in vain
Your message is so loud and clear
to stop violence again.

Rachel, as we remember you
in your memory
And as you fly on eagle's wings
you are now truly free.
