This is too good to be true! I must be dreaming. Did it actually happen? Did I actually find a church that my suits me? Yes I did. Let me tell you how things come full circle. This whole looking for a church thing has been crazy and I feel I have been pretty open to churches. I just wanted to go to a church with good worship and a good word. Now I had been to some that possessed one or the other but not both. So a couple of people had told me about this church I should visit.
I will admit I was a little apprehensive because the church name had Baptist in it. When I think of Baptist all that rushed to my mind was: traditional, old school, stockings (I hate stockings! They make my legs itch and I break out in hives when I wear them), MLK Jr. fans and people catching the spirit and running into walls when the organ strikes up. That may offend some people, but that’s what I think about. I understand that it was an unfair generalization, but that was where I was at. But I was at my wits end so I decided to go and you know what? I really enjoyed it. The pastor is young, the crowd is young and they were lively. They adhered to the spirit and that’s most important. Here is the kicker. Do you know where the church is located? At the end of my block. Literally three minutes walking distance. Crazy right.
Let me tell you something. Before I moved here everyone kept talking about letting Dominicans do my hair. That they make your hair grow, etc. Now I have let Dominicans do my hair since I moved here and there has been ups and downs. Yes they are cheap. It costs like $20 to get your hair done. But in my opinion you get what you pay for. They encourage everyone to get perms because it makes their work easier. They don’t use anything to straighten your hair except a blow dryer. So a perm makes it easy. But for someone like me that has Celie from The Color Purple hair and doesn’t want a perm, they charge me more and don’t get my hair straight. Plus the blow dryer is set to temperature hell so that you feel like your scalp is on fire. So I will be doing my own hair unless I need it trimmed. Then I will just go to a black salon where I’ll have to sit for five hours and a trim means cut three inches. Is there Supercuts anywhere close?

HAHAHAH! This sounds like my life in London...except there was no Dominican option. At least YOU can make your hair look decent. That was another thing that failed me.
