it’s friday and today, i am loving alot!
s1: the sun. i am so loving the sun. got a chance to take a very short walk and as i did, i could totally feel the sun and i loved it. i got to thinking things like, ” God knew i needed the sun, so S/He made me african”. “So this is why I am a Kenyan – so i can enjoy the sun”. crazy, silly thoughts like that. simply, i am loving the sun.

s2: orangebeautiful shop. first off, how can i not love a shop that calls itself “orange beautiful”? how beautiful is that? don’t you just get the feeling that you’ll go in, be showered with wonderful orange rays and shop for pretty things? okay. i’ve never been there. it’s a shop based in chicago that opened quite recently. i found out about it through the scoop a blog i like. and when i saw pictures on the same blog, gosh! i just loved it. and it is full of creativity and colour and arts and honours artists. love it! i want to go there! (check it out here on the net and then go to “the scoop” section for the blog which i also love.)

s3: sitting at a coffee shop, reading a glossy magazine and drinking good coffee. i got an open 30 minutes sometime yesterday and so i went to a coffee shop that seemed to be calling me. (eh… really!) it was so nicely empty because of the time. i love the space; its a big, big space that has not been cluttered by partitions or heavy furniture or anything. it has been allowed to breath. i like. it has a wooden floor which is rare but adds a nice touch to it. it has outside sitting with huge windows separating the inside and out, so it doesn’t really feel like separation.
anyway, i was drawn there, like a moth to light, to sit and have a good cup of coffee. then to make it even tastier, they have a magazine rack where you can pick up a magazine if you’d like and they actually had current, up to date magazines! i got to read “men’s health” or “GQ” or something that i otherwise wouldn’t read and i enjoyed it thoroughly. then i wrapped up the time i had savoured there and ran home, seriously at the speeding of light, to my Sweetness. and i realised, i love it. completely. this sitting around in a nice cafe, good coffee and good magazine. and i got to wondering, can i make a job out of this? ideas beloveds?
s4: what God gave me and styling. today and yesterday and the day before, i have simply been loving what God gave me! my face; my body; my nails; my feet (especially inside a stunning pair of grey slingbacks that i saw!); my legs (which i am convinced are runner’s legs); my hands… you see? :- )
well, beloveds, on that self-inflated note, (ahem!) allow me to end! what are you loving right now? this week? today?
love, love, m
