[given] to love
April 2012
I said, “For you, I would peel open the clouds like new fruit
And give you lightning and thunder as a dowry
I would make the sky shed all of it’s stars like rain
And I would clasp the constellations across your waist
And I would make the heavens your cape
And they would be pleased to cover you
They would be pleased to cover you
May I please cover you, please
— Mos Def

a week in review…
+ efrem landed that new job.
+ i landed a new job too. a second.
+ i started working for myself truly, teaching my first pair of clients as a self-employed instructor for the first time. it feels good to finally strike that one of the list.
+ it looks like we may have to cross bonnaroo off the list, even though we’ve already bought our tickets and i’ve already made arrangements at the gym. it just doesn’t look good to begin a new job, then promptyl ask for vacation time, does it? *sigh* i believe things will work themselves our and i have faith in the divine processes of the universe.

Just wanted to tell you what a wonderful page you have. I don't even know how I found it..but it caught my attention and I totally enjoyed it. You have displayed wonderful character, beauty, and taste. Thanks for the smile on my face.

chaiandablanket replied to your photo: Putting a super deep conditioning henna in my hair…
you MUST let me know how this turns out! Is it color or just the conditioner?
Hey mama! Both actually. It keeps my hair dark, so when summer comes the sun doesn’t turn my hair brown. and the conditioning is the best part. i rarely have the time to putter around for 6 hours to do this, but it turns out just how I like it every time… dark and lovely heheh :)
