Where is Ms. Pepperchild?

Well I've been out and about.  Just doing my thing - a little bit of this and a little bit of that. 

Now y'all know your girl is always down for the cause - but sometimes I have to represent and show folks what I'm really working with. 




I got it from my Momma!

Peace Out......

Memorial Day Weekend

Hey Folks,

It's Pepperchild!  I've been tardy with the posting and I have a lot of catching up to do.  Don't pay too much attention to the sequence of the postings.  They will seem out of order from a date perspective but just think of it as a trip in the "Professors - Time Machine".  Chef and I spent the weekend in L.A. and it was nice seeing everyone.  The Nephews Bobby and Darryn graduated from High School and Middle School so we had a 2-fer celebration.  Bobby will be attending Washington State University on "Full Scholarship" yep - the proud parents won't pay nothing.  I'm so proud of my little Bobby!

Congratulations Ebbie!

Ms Ebbie graduated last month from a 9 month vocational program.  She is now a Medical Biller and will be taking her certification exam in March.  The new graduate is looking for work so if any of you know of any opportunities let us know.  I flew in for the momentous occassion and we had a very nice time.

Congratulations Lamont!

I wrote a couple of months ago that cousin Lamont was looking for a job.  I am happy to say that he is  now gainfully employed and back on track.  He will be continuing his work in terms of community outreach and education which is greatest passion.  Also, I'm happy to let you know that he has been chosen as the florist for the NAACP Awards dinner this weekend in the Los Angeles area.


Go on with your bad self and congrat's on your new job and growing business.

Sisterlocks Retightening

I treated myself to a professional touch-up.  I normally do my own hair but every now and then I visit Dr. Monique Hunt.  Monique did not install my Sisterlocks but periodically reviews my work to make sure that I'm keeping my hair healthy.   She also has a mane of gorgeous Sisterlocks.  If you want to know more about Dr Monique visit her website:  http://www.moniquehunt.com











Here are a few pictures of my retightening session.  I have hundreds of tiny locks that have to be individually retightened every six to eight weeks.  It typically takes me 3 days to do the job if I take my time.  If I'm in a hurry I can do it in a day and a half.  Monique retightened my hair in about 2.5 hours.  It seemed a lot shorter since we were chatting it up the whole time.  Now folks, let me tell you that my hair will "never" look like Monique's.  We have totally a totally different hair texture, thickness, and density.  That's the beauty of Sisterlocks - no two heads of hair are alike.   My hair is fine, thin, and tightly coiled.  However, my sisterlocks are stunning if you want my opinion.  I look totally tired in these pictures - I was preparing for the family to visit for Xmas and Riley's surgery.

Pepperchild's Update

Hey Everybody,

On November 14, 2009 I posted that I would have something to share with you two weeks from that date. Well I'm a bit late but late is better than never.

I quit my job with a fortune 10 high tech employer after 12 years of employment. I have a better job with a new employer....a promotion...a corner office...and a 15 minute commute to work. I start my new job the day after Dr. King's birthday.  

I did not seek out this job....it came to me...literally!  I was simply open and willing to explore the possibility.  I give thanks for the blessings that I have received.  I'll leave you with my theme Song by Ledisi.  I love this song.

"What Can be Higher Than This"

Light that reflects in the mirror
Showing the essence of who I am
Made from pure perfection
I'm connected to the one therefore I am
One to rise above all the ugliness
Evolve into a world of selflessness
I can see Love and No Love can be Higher than this


Feeling like everything's going wrong
Take a step back and edit yourself
There's a hero in you waiting to happen
Make the choice today and free yourself
You've got to let go of your insecurities
Explore the passion in your possibilities
You will find Love and No Love can be Higher than this

Raise your hands if you know what I'm talking about!


Peace Out Pepperchild

Happy New Year!

I hope that everyone had a spectular holiday and that your celebrations were merry.  I had visitors from mid-October toThanksgiving through Christmas and it was so nice to be surrounded by family.  We treat our guests quite nicely so as you can imagine Chateau JaVe is a popular spot.   Family and friends love to come and we love to have them.  Nobody is homeless or nothing like that. Even if they were we'd give them food and shelter until they did something dumb like drink the last Pepsi or polish off the last glass of juice and lie about it.

October cousin Archie visited.  He's so cute and expecting his first baby next month.

Thanksgiving Ms J - Chef's mom came to visit.  His sister Joy, brother Leon, his wife and daughter also hung with us.

Christmas Mom, Mimi, and Ryan stayed for a few days.  Ryan's girlfriend and college buddies also stopped by.  Everybody had a good time except for Riley and me.  He had knee surgery and I had to carry him up and down the stair to use the bathroom all day and all night.  He spent most of the holiday sedated and on pain medications.  I sedated myself with wine.

I've been off work since December 21st.  I'll explain what's up on my next post but don't worry...it's all good.

Peace Out....Pepperchild
