I figure since I went through all the trouble of organizing this thing (as best I can) and telling people about it, I may as well be courteous enough to post a lil something so the place doesn’t look completely empty. *lol*

For those who do not know, or have not read the intro, my name is Idadi, a name which means totality in Swahili. No, that’s not my “Christian” name… It was given to me a couple years ago and I have since adopted it as my moniker because it fits. My “real” name, for you nosy peeps *lol*, is in the aforementioned intro, in case you really must know. But for purposes of this Blog, Idadi works just fine, so we’ll keep it that way.

I’m no stranger to the world of Blogging, having graduated from Xanga to Vox, where I currently post entries about anything and everything that goes on in the life of me. I could have very well posted my natural entries there but… well… I kinda wanted a separate “house” for those entries, ya know? Somewhere exclusive to the process I am taking to return to my roots (literally), where the topics wouldn’t get lost among meme’s and whatnot. I also wanted to set up a spot where I can rub shoulders with other dedicated journeyer’s and share my experience with those contemplating taking a similar path. Well, since it seems there are a lot of “nappy heads” here at WordPress, what more perfect spot than to lay down stakes, eh?

My hopes for this Blog is for it to become a documentation of my journey to reclaim not just the beauty and strength of my tresses, but a solidified sense of who I AM as I return to an outer state that reflects my inner transitions. I will by no means use this as a pulpit from which to preach the evils of relaxed hair, or how unauthentic one is who choose to go that route. I simply wish to express how the entire experience is going and how I’m processing through it. In addition to sharing, I hope to receive encouraging feedback, advice, tips, and tricks from my fellow journeyer’s, whether you’ve been on the path for years or are just starting out. I understand the natural row isn’t an easy one to hoe, butt I’m sure if there’s enough of us who band together, we can pick our way through the kinks. *smile*

Okay well, I’ve still got a few more features and what not to add here, so I will take my leave of you, wishing you peace and positivity today and always.

Blessed Be…

Idadi
