Body and Soul


'Ah, true! I know she is an angel, and I am a presumptuous dog to dream of possessing such a treasure; but, nevertheless, I would sooner die than relinquish her in favour of the best man that ever went to heaven - and as for her happiness, I would sacrifice my body and soul - '
Mr. Huntington in the book 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' by Anne Bronte

I am smack in the middle of my ovulation and though I have to deal with heat that keeps emanating from the centre of me, I am happy to have clear facial skin and the constant feeling of sexiness. God is interesting. He ensured that during the female's most fertile time she would look her best and be her most confident; that way ensuring that the male is attracted to her, leading to that other action that results in offspring/ propagation of the human species :-).

I digress.

Since Saturday I have been listening to Soul music; Anita Baker, Lionel Richie, Luther Vandross, Puff Johnson, Lisa Stansfield, Brenda Russell, James Ingram, Johnny Gill, Gerald Levert, Glenn Johns, Marvin Gaye...phew!...lovely music I tell y'all. I am pretty sure it's those touchy-feely lyrics that are getting the better of me. Getting me all hot and bothered :-).

Recently, on the heels of a ruined romance and loss of a job which I loved, I thought I would not feel this happy again- at least not soon. Well, among a couple of other blessings in my life that bring a smile to my face, music (the 'normal' kind that existed before rap) has a calming effect on me. Thus, body and soul, as I type this Wednesday morning, I am content.

I am more than just body (which am, lately, pro-actively working to shape into a model's :-))...

I am soul. I am the congruence of deep thoughts, fervent prayer, intellectually stimulating conversation, profound books, good music...

I am looking forward to a very productive day. I hope you, my blogstalker, are too :-)

Dad

Dear Dad, Today, nine years ago, you changed your major  area code leaving many people pretty upset including uncle Kizza Besigye who I know would have appreciated your level of loyalty  considering memories of my S.4 vacation driving around Kampala with you as you manually tallied the Reform Agenda's votes at different polling stations:) Just so you know, Uncle K.B. is hassling; what with pepper spray, kicks, blows, gun butt beatings, being shoved under the car seats of police men (who we are all quite convinced are paramilitary- but that's a story for another day), insults, threats to his life...etc...you would have frothed at the mouth seeing how bad things have become for political opponents of the 'Great 1986 Revolutionary'.  Am sorry for putting such a lousy pic of you on the www but you hated pics so it's kinda your fault :) I cut my hair and decided I would like to keep it that way for the rest of my life...in fact, I am contemplating ...

Mother to Son...beautiful piece

A LETTER TO MY TWO YEAR OLD September 2, 2011 at 9:12 am by Pumla Nabachwa Every year, during the week of my children’s birthdays, i shall write them a letter and keep them in separate boxes and present them with these boxes the day they graduate. (& graduate they will) Today, I write a 2nd letter to my first born son…..now Trey Gateja……My pride…….My joy! My sunshine, It’s been 730 days & we’re both still alive………let alone sane. I’m not sure how I haven’t strangled you to death yet or left you out at night hoping that a hawk will grab you & take you far away from me. I’m quite perplexed that am not in a mental hospital, let alone 6 feet under. The doctors promised me that the pain stops immediately after the baby is delivered but nooooooooo…….we’re here today & I’m still pulling my hair out. Somebody once said; “it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you’ve had a baby”…… that somebody doesn’t know that once you’re a mother, ‘normal’ is his...

What do women really want (from their male partner)??

Guys, you're in luck- I am taking it upon myself to unleash female trade secrets at no fee, lawyer, though I may be. Consider this pro bono . Gals, hopefully, you'll now have a piece of writing to refer your men to (coz I intend to be candid and thorough). A friend, who only recently, discovered this blog said he thinks I am 'too open for life' on here. Well, that's vintage Lynn- open and honest- all out. After giving my introvertedness centre stage for many years with unfavourable results, I find that it is better to say too much than never to what you need to- or in this case, write. Okay, so, about the what do women want question. I will write what I want and what I have heard girlfriends say they want. None of that, look deeply into her eyes whenever you talk - jibber jabber, I promise. This is practical, realistic stuff which a man committed to making some woman out there truly happy will find useful. Love her. Remember that love is a verb (a doing...
