Say
What????? I say it is truly is a Small world.
One
day I was checking the “stats” on my web page to see where
people who visited my web site link came from.
To my surprise I noticed a reference to my site that
appeared top be
in another language
Upon
following that referenced link I found myself in an
incredible place. It was a web site totally in another
language I COULD NOT read.
Interesting
…..Hmmm. While I have received guest book entries and
direct e-mail from people as far away as Japan … the is the
first place that I know of where
Diva D'zigns is referenced on a
site that is totally written in another language.
About
a month later I noticed a guestbook entry from Monique. WOW
this was the site I remembered from before. At this point I
decided to e-mail Monique.
Well now I can say I have a friend Naptural in Holland!!!!
Monique agreed to write a short comment about herself.
Thanks Monique!!
This
is the Guest book entry on
www.divadzigns.com/journey web site

Hi Pat,
I love your updates !
Your designs are impressive. Keep up the good work.
There are lots of black people here in my country, if
you want some more online exposure for your designs
for free, just holla. You can use my website. I like
supporting my black sisters in the US cause i have
learned a lot from you and it encouraged me to start
locing ! I feel great now that i am relaxer and
permfree.
peace and blessings

Monique’s Link page ..... I found my link there
http://www.kroeshaar.info/Linksverzameling.htm
Even though I can’t
read the pages, I often go there just to see where her links
take me. I did ask Monique about translating the site.
This task is in the works.
She like many of us
has a REAL busy schedule and has not found enough time to
translate. The site is in Dutch.
Here is a web site
where you can translate sites into most languages.
http://www.worldlingo.com/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html
You are to get
somewhat of an idea what is written on Monique’s site. The
translation is more word to word rather than meaning
to meaning.
I
will use this translation until Monique is done.
Fill in the needed
information as indicated in the graphic below.
Click the "Machine
Translate" button and the site will be translated into Dutch.
See example
below.

Greetings from Holland
I´m
Monique a nappy sister living in Holland. Years ago i
started to read nappyhairwebsites. The first site was
blackhaircare.com and than nappyhair.com. The wealth
of info was amazing.
The information about for example starting locs with
tools and just being your natural self regarding our
hair was very interesting. I´m still hooked on reading
all those sites. Especially since i´m three years
natural my self now, after years of switching from
relaxers to perms and vice versa.
We don´t have natural hair salons, seminars,
workshops, and natural hair gatherings here. I hope
this will change in the near future.
My
freeformlocs are 8 months old, wild and fuzzy and here
to stay.
These locs make me feel free and my afrocentric self.
I have accepted my hairand i adore it. Especially
after a fresh wash and rubbing some peppermintoil in
it my hair feels and smells so good. My locs are short
and i´m waiting for the day i can do a crinkly
locstyle.
Because of
all the info i learned and because i could talk about
this subject ALL day i started a Dutch nappyhair
website. I hope to encourage people who would like to
go natural to take the plunge and to
think about why they perm or why they relax. I do see
some women here with natural hair and there are men
and women with locs here but the majority of the women
alter their hairtexture.
I don´t think that is mostly because they are ashamed
of their hair but it´s easier and people don't know
how to or don't want to care for their hair anymore
because they think it´s too difficult, too time
consuming or that they can not look good with their
natural hair.
Pat, i think i found your site through Google when i
was searching for locinfo. Very inspiring, it´s great
to see you put all your time and effort in your site
and beautiful designs.
I would really love to visit the US someday and attend
a nappyhair conference i think it would feel like a
natural hair paradise.
Be certain to visit Monique's site. You are
totally in for a treat.
