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 :-)

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

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 going complete

The Third Day- September...The Big 3-0!!!

So, today, I begin a new decade of my life. I am thirty (30) years old! W.O.W! These past couple of days, I have been meditating on Womanhood. Walking with God and Worthiness. I want to be part of something great this next decade. I desire a fresh start in many areas of my life. I regrettably spent the greater part of my twenties trying to be a man; to be tough, rough and seemingly brave. I numbed feelings, suppressed emotions and smiled little in bid to avoid fighting like a girl because girls are weak, they are shallow and they gossip. My best friends were boys until my femininity came to the fore as a  natural course of life and giving boys 'uncensored' hugs started 'causing problems'. All my ambition, my pushing and shoving to get ahead could not erase my innermost (very feminine) desires to be loved, to be treated kindly, to be listened to, sought after, and protected. I was with the boys but not of the boys. Revelation No. 1: I am a Woman and that's ok
