i just started new classes at school and today one of my teachers told me he loved my dreads!it made my day :D hes one of those cool young teachers so i like him.i also got a compliment on my bob marley shirt haha the other day i was wearing my TMNT shirt and i had a conversation with a friend about how im gonna name my kids after them lol. they all have such awesome names!

pretty awesome stories. such lil things can have such a positive impact and makes us in a better mind set to be kinder to others as well

Thats awesome, some of the people you least expect compliment dreads!I was in a supermarket a few months ago, wearing purple 3 quarter length shorts, some kind of floaty top and my CND converse and a guy was waiting by the pharmacy section with his 5 year old daughter, he looked very rough, knew most of the staff by name and was waiting to go into the little private room so I assumed he was probably going to take his methadone. (I know that seems judgemental but I'm pretty sure he was - respect to the guy for taking that route)Anyway, his daughter said something about my hair so he explained that they were dreadlocks and told her what they were (in a nice way), I smiled and he said 'excuse me love, no offence, but you look like an eco-warrior', I thanked him and told him that I wasn't offended. He said that he used to be like that too when he was younger. It made me pretty happy, seemed like such a lovely guy.

first of all, awsome post hippie mama! all great experiences described so far...it was last friday night i was on my way outta town to visit a friend in buffalo. I stopped at a random gas station in this rinky dink little town (I prefer back roads when I travel, far more memorable and you get a real feel of the areas history compared to a highway) to get some iced tea if i recall correctly... so i walk in this store and theres like 2 employees behind the counter and 5 customers in the store, literally every single person just looks at me and stared for my entire awkward walk to the beverage case then over to the counter. Strangely enough i'm rather used to situations as this because I love bright colors, customize clothing, knit and am 6 1/2 feet tall... so i get to the counter and the young male clerk sais "dude, i dig your style!" so i'm all stoked then the female clerk whom is around my age basically interupted him saying "i love your hair" i was very flattered. Especially cause i just sat in a truck for 2 hours by myself and was expecting some conversation just as awkward as the stares i received. Needless to say i resumed my journey with an enhanced sense of pride for the person i am, even if what they recognized was only physical it's still nice to be recognized none the less.

all these stories are so positive that it just makes me have a better day reading them

That's so cool, I didn't know she'd been made manager, last time we talked she was barely making gas money. I'm so happy for her, give her a Big Hug for me. 2010 is starting out good, wish this weather would hold off so we could maybe get the Love Shack fixed up a bit, then comes Big Blue!!! soaringeagle said:
