tip jar (photo courtesy of Flickr- ( Eric in DUB ) license Happy Sunday everyone!  Happy Father's Day to all of the dads! I hope  you all are doing well. Today, I wanted to talk about putting your own tip in the tip jar. Yesterday, one of my close "friend girls" (as my sister would say) and I went to an ice cream parlor. The server seemed to be a  polite young man who looked like he was about 14 or 15 years old. After we finished eating our ice cream, we asked for the check. The amount owed was a little over $8.00. So, I gave the young man a $10.00 bill and waited for my change. He walked over to the tip jar and dropped my change into it. My friend said, "Well, he got his tip!" After we got outside, I told my friend that the young man reminded me of a couple of photos that had been circulating around the Internet.

Deborah L. Tillman is best known as THE parenting expert on Lifetime's   hit show, "America's Supernanny" . Along with being America's favorite "supernanny", Tillman is also the owner of 3 childcare centers in Alexandria, Virginia, and the author of the book, Stepping Out on Faith: How to Open a Quality Childcare Center. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration and Master's Degree in Early Childhood Special Education. Last week, I received the blessing of interviewing this inspirational woman. Although Tillman is not natural, she says she will get there one day. Because she has a soft hair texture, she only gets a perm every 4-6 months. But, she doesn't like them at all. They do help her get through the summer months. Tillman says when she goes natural, she will be visiting my blog to find out what to do. I'm going to hold her to it. 1BN: So, about "America's Supernanny"... There's s...

I have been writing poetry for a long time. I wanted to share the poem below...I pray that it blesses someone :-)  The Lord's Love If you listen, you will hear the joy in people's hearts. If the air is quiet and people are still, You will feel the warmth. Though burdens exist and bodies bruised, If you listen you will hear the joy in people's hearts A quiet tune escaping from the core of their souls, Rising up from their throats whispering, "Jesus loves me." If you listen, you will hear the joy in people's  hearts.     ©   2013 1BlessedNatural " Rejoice always"- 1 Thessalonians 5:16

Happy Wednesday everyone! I know this is a hair blog, but I wanted to take the time out to post the video above. It brought tears to my eyes when I first watched it. It was posted by Laura L. Victoria. I apologize for it being sideways. That is the way in which it was posted. Enjoy! Please let me know what you think :-)

I have to say that the Lord has been good to me! I could be having the worst day, but He always gives me a reason to smile at the end of the day.  It is like the song says, "He keeps on doing great things for me." I prayed for something today, and the Lord worked it out according to His plan :-) If God has blessed you in any way, please share! "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."-John 14:1
