Two spirits
One of the events in my life that sticks with me from my childhood was the day I was locked out.
I was 6 years old.
My father was probably at his office.
My mother worked long days at the hospital and teaching nursing.
My brother was in high school.
We had an older lady, “Miss Rose” who was for want of better terms, our housekeeper and my caretaker.
The infant school I attended...

A Challenge
This week I’m challenging myself to disconnect.
I really need to get some work done.
I’m going to have to start limiting internet time to one hour a day.
Wish me luck, I really like the internet!
Walk like a boss, talk like a boss
I don’t know where to start.
As usual with me, things are pretty bitter sweet at the moment.. though I’m thankful to report more sweet than bitter.
I’m struggling, truly struggling with work on my MA thesis. It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s simply that the balance in my life is not right… just yet. I’m thinking what I really need is to get away,...

Thank you BEAUTIFUL ladies.
BLOG.. and Erykah (FatBellyBella) Badu
I haven’t shared very much lately. I don’t suppose there are any easy answers why not. It’s just one of those things. Life happens, blogging does not. I thought I should come and share something since I’ve been ‘absent’ for a while. It’s sort of hard to get going though. Bear with me.

I will write an update about what has been going on in my world soon.
Here’s a snap I caught while on the university shuttle after a long day down-town paying bills and other such duties. A moment of calm in the chaos.
(Did I mention how much I love having a camera now???)
I’m swamped with work. It’s not insurmountable though.

More Food..
I know, I know, dearest tumblog, I have treated you so badly. After the work has passed I shall return. For now, here are some photos from lunch. On the menu: Vegetaian Roti with pumpkin, chick peas, and Chinese cabbage. .

Walking Home
So this week was pretty terrible. Not going to talk about it because that pretty much gives the ‘terrible’ air time that it doesn’t deserve. Today though, RB surprised me with an amazing gift… It definitely turned my week around. A brand new camera (to replace the one I broke)!
First Pic.
My love.
Rain, Please Rain
RB pointed out something fascinating to me today. I’ve been in a less than wonderful mood about most things, but especially grad school. Then he pointed out to me that I’m very much in touch with nature and that the two may be linked. There has been an ongoing drought here. It’s hot, the earth is dry, the green is dying and changing to brown. I think he’s right. I am...
WatchI don’t like posting a bunch of videos instead of real blogs.. but I’m not in much of a talking mood.. and this video is fire!

Important Nutrition Guide
As I journey on the path to full fledged vegetarianism this sort of info is great to make real, permanent mental note of the keys to health.
The Littlest Things
I love the little things. I’m not the kind of girl who likes flashy, bigger than the rest, latest and greatest kind of things. The things that make my day vary from stopping on the roadside to drink coconut water straight from the coconut, to seeing a field of wildflowers, or seeing children holding hands walking home from school, to finding quirky earrings, to a lazy few hours cuddled up...
