Dreads and the mature woman']
I'm going to give you guys my personal glimpse of dreads and mature women. Society places such great value on youth and beauty, but I'm here to tell you that mature women are just as lovely. We have learned life lessons that the young have yet to learn; we have seen it, done it, lived it. We have a depth of understanding that only comes with time, age and experience. We are mothers, sisters and wives and we love deeply. We care deeply and we are here for you when you need us'].
I began my journey smack dab in the middle of menopause (*gasp!*). The older I get the more comfortable I've become with my God given self. Dreads fascinated me for years and years, but I was always too self conscious to attempt growing them. I worried about what people in general would think, specifically my Hubby and kids, their teachers, my parents...the list goes on and on. Well, I found the Dreadlock site about 4 years ago and I stalked it for about a year before I joined and took the plunge. I learned the right way to let my hair dread and I met tons of really super people. It's like a big extended family, kind of like a good church']. I grew my dreads for 1.5 years and have never been happier with myself and my hair.
Then came mega hot flashes! UUUgh I had a really hard time with that, and in a nutshell, I ended up cutting my hair and shaved the sides thinking I'd be a lot cooler. Well I wasn't. And I was dreadless. I was so upset with myself and I was really not loving taking care of my hair. I began to re-grow my hair and I am at the point where I am dreading again. Joy Joy Joy!! This time it's for keeps.
We continue to live and learn until our time on Earth is over. Be you, be loving, caring, giving. Be, do, go. Don't hold on tightly to transient things; hold onto people. Hold onto Jesus. In the end that's all that really matters...xoxo
and yes, the true ones are probably 1/10th of the Christian population...sad to say
The only way to tell is by their heart & fruit (actions) It's easy to tell, you can just feel it.

LOL Sounds fun! Yes, we don't dress up and I dance in bare feet I've even served communion and did Praise & Worship barefooted'] Real Christians aren't what everyone thinks, we don't judge, we love...we serve...

mega mansion at xmass the tree was 3 stories tall in the main hall with a 6 foot angle on top
they had hand carved leather wallpaper every peice of furniture belonged in a museaum
along we come putting our bare feet up on end tables worth 1/2 a million
there was a fransiscan monk..barefoot with flowers in his beard..a bunch of freaks in what was nearly a castle
at night we snuck into the chappel climbed up into the rafters and found a lot of old pipe organ pipes were up there jamming on them just playing the pipes the fransiscan monks hanging by his knees from the rafters when our fave nun comes in scolding us cause the older nuns thought there were demons in the chapel..lol
(we didnt realize they slept right behind the chapel)
it was fun though..such a beautiful amazing place
That's why I said a "good" church, lol. Too many are not even worthy of the name...
i was gonna sau whats mature mean but i guess when u reach menapause youve earned it
i wouldnt concider myself mature yet
i wouldnt compare dreadlockssite to a church..well most chrurches anyway cause most churches u wouldnt expect to see ppl in the pews naked (a good friend runs a church ..the pastor of it and i could imagine ppl naked in that church however but then again they have a pyramid at the church too)
but dreadlockssite i have a feeling several ppl dont bother getting dressed up ..or dressed at all to come on here
