When the Apostle Paul declared that women shall cover their heads during worship who knew a biblical commandment would have such a profound impact on fashion. Our for-Sistas dating back to African American roots and beyond to the mother land, Africa, today's modern Afro-American women wears centuries of heritage on their heads. "I think it's because it's rooted in the African tradition that says that when one presents oneself before God… that you should be at your best –- that you should present excellence before the Almighty," says Craig Marberry co-author of Crowns. Well even if you have no intention of dressing to the Nines for the "Almighty" you can't deny that Church Ladies bring majestic wisdom refined beauty to the fashion world.
As the early 20th century was finding it's footing Afro-Americans were beginning to enjoy some limited independence. "Sunday church services provided African American women who worked as domestic servants or in other subservient roles the only real chance to break away from their drab, dreary workday uniforms. says Michael Cunningham of Time Magazine and co-author of Crowns. The women typically went for textured fabrics, bright colors and of course the key ingredient flamboyancy, some of the hats I see today have it all over Liberacci in that department. A matching ensemble is also important to the outfit; shoes, pocket book and gloves but I don't need to tell you ladies that right ;)
Hats also served as status symbols.

My best friend tells me that as people age they are supposted to S L O W down. Why? I have done the opposite and I believe it keeps me young....well probably younger than most people assume I am,
Recently I was asked to take on some duties at my daughter's school and my husband put his foot down and said NO. I guess I have trouble saying no to some things. I like being involved and meeting people. If I had to stay in a cubicle all day you'd have to peel me from the ceiling. I know that my husband was right. I am too involved with so many things and adding another would be crazy.
Between being a mom and wife I manage to squeeze in college, volunteering at a women's shelter, work and an internship as well as writing content for three websites and legislation for the American Legion.... I am thinking......could I possibly add a yoga class? When right?

I've come across a new sandal which I love! The brand is called SWAMISZ, they come in a variety of colours and are so comfortable. I picked up a pair over the weekend and have fallen in love! They are eco-friendly and 100% natural rubber. They have a stylish toe plug and support strap to keep it on your foot, it is similar to a flip-flop but you don't get the sound while walking which normal flip-flops make.SWAMISZ is a design modelled on Ancient Indian wooden shoes named the "Paduka" - except the SWAMISZ are funky and fashionable.I thought I would inform everyone about this new sandal if you don't already know, they are so comfortable and you can literally wear them everywhere!

The wife of a rich man fell sick, and as she felt that her end was drawing near, she called her only daughter to her bedside and said, "Dear child, be good and pious, and then the good God will always protect you, and I will look down on you from heaven and be near you."
Thereupon she closed her eyes and departed. Every day the maiden went out to her mother's grave, and wept, and she remained pious and good.
