Inshallah. Amen!

...Omonoba...
Our people say:
Yoruba: Ọ̀kùn-ún mọ̀nà tẹ́lẹ̀ kójú ẹ̀ tó fọ́.
English: The millipede knew the way before it went blind.- Yoruba proverb.
..............................................................................................................................

-> To that reader who has tons of her brothers'/ boyfriend's/husband's/friends' shirts in her closet or those who straight up buy men's clothing in stores. My brothers are tired of me! :)


"I close the doors and open the south window. Maybe, just maybe another soul will hear the crisp joy in my song of praise and thanksgiving and the flawless fluidity in my chords." Sing with me:

Hallelujah, Inshallah, Amen!
{Hallelujah, if God wills, let it be!}
 Interesting facts:
1. My guitar is fourteen years old. My father bought it when we lived in the Netherlands and he gave me what has become one of my most cherished material possessions.
2. The shirt in the picture (and half of my shirts) belongs to my older brother. 
3. I still wear a wrist-watch. If you do, holla!
4. I have no more than twenty five pieces of clothing at any given time in my closet. I find myself always trying to get rid of unnecessary things. It's impossible to tell; thank you, creativity.


Have a blessed rest-of-the-week and don't forget to count your blessings and give thanks!

  3. 25 pieces of clothing?
    At times, I do wish I could be so sparse with clothing. Certainly helps to have a good clear out every now and again. You guessed it...I'm a hoarder. And even when I give old stuff away, I just buy more. It's all subconscious though. At least I think it is.
