The idea is that if you want to be successful then you will be forced to work long hours doing something you don't like to do. Working like a dog sounds like a tiresome, serious, and joyless affair, without a hint of laughter, fun, or play.<br /><br />However, before you ever use the phrase "work like a dog" again, take a moment to think about how your own dog actually spends his days. In actuality, your dog has a pretty good life, and it would be your lucky day if you could work like your dog! Everything is new, everything is exciting, everything is fun to your dog. Dogs are great role models for us to emulate on the job. They approach their lives not only with dedication, loyalty, discipline, sensitivity, and love, but also with joy, enthusiasm, and a willingness to see their work as play."</p><p><em>Matt <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Weinstein</span></span> - The <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Huffington</span></span> Post - Aug 2007</em><br /><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matt-weinstein/work-like-your-dog-to-hav_b_254069.html">Click to here see whole article and video</a><br /></p></blockquote><div><br />As much as, at times, what I'm trying to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">achieve</span> seems tiresome and serious, I need to remember that I love, love, love, what I'm doing and the direction my life is going.

As for Naturally Sexy, 2010 will bring about the unveiling of all my dedication and discipline over the past months with a <strong>dynamic new sexy website</strong> and <strong>fantastic new sexy products</strong>.

How weird does that sound? Michael Jackson is dead.</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Michael played a huge part in the lives of many generations including mine. His musical genius and sheer talent far out weighed the craziness that surrounded the latter part of his life and it is this that, in the wake of his death, that the world has been forced to truly appreciate and adore. What really got me on that day was what was happening in my household NO DOUBT while when he undergoing a cardiac arrest. This is a true story and as unbelievable as the fact that he's gone.</div><br /><div>My sister was round babysitting and on our return her, Henry and I began a conversation that we will never forget. An episode of South Park was on which <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">focused</span> on yet another celebrity p**s take. It was U2's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bono's</span> turn and we began a discussion about who else they had been ridiculed in a way only South Park could pull off and get away with. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kanye</span> West, Paris Hilton and Angelina Jolie were mentioned and we ended up on Micheal Jackson. Henry who's the biggest SP fan I know and an eternal comedian, began quoting the memorable lines in the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">MJ</span> voice and my sister and I creased up with laughter. I then recalled a recent article about <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">MJ</span> being upset about the 50 shows he'd been signed up to do here in London. My sister hadn't heard about it so, with my encouragement I told Henry to tell her what he had said...'In the voice' as he had done with me when the article was published, again my sister and I creased up with laughter. We then went into a long exchange about how the hell he was going to manage 50 SHOWS???!!! Half an hour later Henry turned the TV over to Sky News... 'Oh My God... look at this!' he said. The laughter had come to a dramatic end.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The breaking news of his cardiac arrest stood before us. Shocked and somewhat sickened we watched the story unfold. At that point I didn't think he would die. I even tried to lighten up the mood by saying at least he doesn't have to worry about the 50 shows now, they couldn't expect him to do it now he's gone through this - death to me was not on the cards. Then they showed a recent clip of him when he visited London to talk about the come back tour. We looked at him and the reality of what could happen kicked in. He looked so weak. He looked like his body couldn't withstand such an attack. He died about 5 minutes later.</div><br /><div>I know I am not responsible for Michael Jackson's death but the guilty feelings within me, knowing that while his heart was failing him, I was laughing at his expense are difficult to shake. The laughter has turned into a sadness I have never known. The tributes that have taken place since his death on the TV and radio just remind us all, that Michael Jackson was THE KING of pop and THE PRINCE of Motown soul. Tune, after tune, after tune, after tune and let's not forget the moves! The guy was simply amazing and his music will live forever and ever. Amen.</div><br /><div>Rest in Peace Michael. </div>Ebonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16667726289852426681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055029908523810902.post-45051329401022528922009-06-17T13:01:00.043+01:002009-07-14T01:42:01.875+01:00So wot's bin gwannin'!!So besides quitting my job... what's been <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">gwannin</span>'?!!

This is the second time I visited this black hair exhibition at Alexander Palace, Wood Green, London. Once again it was seriously lacking in actual Afro Hair. There was stall upon stall of hair to cover up, straighten up and hide Afro, but you could count the specifically Afro/lock stalls on one hand and still have fingers left over!!!!! After last year's disappointment, I had no intention of going in but thought I would check out a seminar on Natural Hair care. I watched as a woman long straight hair, not sure if it was weave but it was straight, talking to people about natural hair while she commended the demonstrating stylist on stage with her, as he pressed a young ladies hair. As the steam rose from her virgin locks and the speaker piped up "Look everyone, it's so straight you wouldn't even know it's natural" It was at that point I left the seminar. What a waste of my hard earned cash!</p><p>My sister <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kezia</span> and I stood outside promoting <strong>Real</strong> Afro Hair and Beauty.

Back to blogging. What a breath of fresh air!!<br /><br /></div><br /><div align="left">Me, well I've been busy as usual, where does all the time go? There just aren't enough hours in the day to do what I need to do. Fortunately I have been privileged enough to get myself 48 hours back. How? Well I have made a very brave decision to take voluntary redundancy from my part time job. It's time for my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">departure</span>. After a long time off sick my return has brought about the true realisation that I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">no longer</span> enjoy the job. What used to be fun and varied has become dull and monotonous. It takes me forever to get there...and back... and my heart just isn't in it, not even through that connection you develop with the people you work with - the ones who get you through the day (which, outside of the financial implications, is essentially what binds us to a job we hate). The people I connected with have either left, are on maternity leave or work a different shift pattern and so I see them infrequently. With all that said getting through work days have become harder, especially since I'm building a business and have 101 things to do.<br /></div><br /><div align="left">It'll be a few months before I officially go but at least there's now light at the end of the tunnel... or should I say the runway!! The airport is an interesting environment to work in. You come into contact with so many different people, from all walks of life and from all sides of the globe. As I said I've made some really lovely friends there but for someone like me, the job does have a sell by date. Once you've made sufficient use of the perks (cheap flight concessions), you either move up or move on... if you can. I'd love to say I've been to loads of desirable destinations off the back of my job but unfortunately I haven't. After nearly 4 years service, my holiday list consists of 10 days in Barbados and two nights in New York. Now that's not right is it??!! And why is the list so dry? Well your concessions are a 'Standby thing' - if there are seats you get to travel, the big perk is that you mostly travel in business class and after three years service a seat in upper class if it's available! This is great if you can fly anytime and you don't have many responsibilities but when you have to fit it around kids and school it's no good at all. Standing by for a flight during the school holidays is a huge risk! There's the risk of not getting on at all, thereby dashing your partners and kids holiday hopes. Or alternatively and more so harrowing, not being able to get back!!! All that stress you lost from your relaxing break, instantly returns and the money you saved from your cheap flights is used to find you and your family somewhere to stay, till you can get yourself on a flight home. Luckily I have never had this experience but have heard the story on many occasions, so much so that I wouldn't take the risk.<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="left">But here I am, ready to risk it all. Give up my job to pursue my business dreams. A huge risk one would say, especially in these credit crunchy times, where jobs are being lost, left, right and centre. My heart goes out to all those in the struggle. For me, having struggled through the past year with all my teeth stuff , I'm going to take this opportunity to stop dreaming about the life I want to live and start living my dreams. Right now Naturally Sexy needs me! It needs me full-time to expand this celebration of our natural beauty, to really develop and maintain the website, to provide products, to blog (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">yay</span></span></span>!!) and interact with all you Naturally Sexy folk out there and those of you who would like to join our party! I have the belief, the determination and the passion to succeed. You've got to start somewhere and just as the Daily Telegraph's recent ad campaign states ...

I thanked her, said "Yeah, I definitely will" and then popped the money in my wallet. What usually happens after that is that the money goes on bread, eggs, petrol, a bottle of wine for Costcutter... you name it, it goes on it... everything but that treat for yourself.<br /><br /><br /><div>Well, today at work I decided to keep to my word and took at trip to the perfume shop to buy myself a treat. I had a few ideas but thought I would smell around to see if anything took my fancy. Fifteen minutes and £48 later I was the proud owner of a bottle of Prada Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger. It's a light, fragrant mix of jasmine and orange blossoms and it's sooooo yummy! Apparently it's on limited sale for 4 months only, so I count myself very lucky. Plus I think the packaging is to die for... <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 319px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 218px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337082344219705858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaJXMFBVHQM1AFcOWAX3yc7PhuLbqaE9wubtFhfOtx9ZU0xojmKnJpeBKgrchZzjA_kdVtyBz6ArG6U3D9KMxLaSeOI2y-OI1BK4HLvkHcxrnnrw8XX3hkoo8dmxcQ_7MZUpkrHQiQAiNB/s320/prada.png" />It's very befitting of the person who gave me the money - elegant and classic.<br /></div><br /><div>Thank you friend x</div></div>Ebonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16667726289852426681noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055029908523810902.post-28234311769433826392009-05-10T12:11:00.015+01:002009-05-13T12:49:29.650+01:00Locks Loved Pt. 2(<a href="http://naturallysexy.blogspot.com/2009/05/lock-love-pt-1.html">Click here to see Pt 1/Before pictures)</a><br /><br />So today, at 5.30am some twelve hours later and after the following...<br /><br /><blockquote>1.

There was a lot of regrowth and the front section needed some work as there was about 5 inches of new hair that was not blending well with the other locks. Unfortunately, with the expense involved in getting this done at a salon and the time and effort involved in doing it herself, she had resorted to wrapping them up in a scarf - hiding them away from the world.<br /><br />Now, you know me, I couldn't have her hiding her NS self away, so I offered to come to the rescue and save her lovely locks. Here is how she looked before the love...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtrkC63u6DojVUQNEwmGig0P9ef1CoZX1jDqkf_kuqpL5295rzDQO0PYNweGW7InDgp7UQk5Vl9ywbhk8PaP02FslCakD9vvoDAmbxQOGkrMk662ptJSutCmB3xqxj2Rlx5hHSwPYxGOjk/s1600-h/090509_4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334521068331199874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtrkC63u6DojVUQNEwmGig0P9ef1CoZX1jDqkf_kuqpL5295rzDQO0PYNweGW7InDgp7UQk5Vl9ywbhk8PaP02FslCakD9vvoDAmbxQOGkrMk662ptJSutCmB3xqxj2Rlx5hHSwPYxGOjk/s320/090509_4.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP90PQoXn1Cm6ptYRQwBIMMcyosZa_qEqjQdFCEsLY_fplHCnX5c2v0PdKOct4pSx-Hpt2v6FAMvsTDKTcJE7s6i2xfJc4AFdjO0wPwL1KKBgeqlOp05_GJcnGxAVNWlY3Qx8cEw2CSTRN/s1600-h/090509_3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334521072229545218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP90PQoXn1Cm6ptYRQwBIMMcyosZa_qEqjQdFCEsLY_fplHCnX5c2v0PdKOct4pSx-Hpt2v6FAMvsTDKTcJE7s6i2xfJc4AFdjO0wPwL1KKBgeqlOp05_GJcnGxAVNWlY3Qx8cEw2CSTRN/s320/090509_3.jpg" /></a><br />Her sides had hair that needed to be locks.

It's 1.39am...by this time tomorrow can I put up the photo's and stories of the past six weeks??? It'll certainly help towards my longness!

I think I need to loosen my grip! This is the busiest I have ever been in my 33 years. They should call me 'The Juggler', keeping all those balls up in the air isn't easy - wife, mum, entrepreneur (there's at least 20 balls with those 3 roles alone!!), family duties, airport worker, etc, etc. It's exciting and I know there are plenty more to come.

It's only because I've taken annual leave and have put the 'airport worker' ball down, that I have the time to get this thing up-to-date.<br /><br />So let's go through all these pictures I have sitting in my camera, waiting to be brought alive on my blog!Ebonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16667726289852426681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055029908523810902.post-6213085410375891092009-04-26T14:06:00.002+01:002009-05-14T12:59:30.623+01:00Happy Birthday x 3... sorry x 4(POSTED ON THE 6TH MAY 2009 AFTER <a href="http://http//naturallysexy.blogspot.com/2009/05/six-weeks-in-24-hours-challengeto.html">SIX WEEKS IN 24 HOURS CHALLENGE)</a><br /><br />What is up with this date?
