For the Lover in You: Soundtrack

I don’t celebrate little fat nakey babies, but I believe in love.

I try to celebrate love everyday, showing it in very subtle ways to those most unsuspecting people who make my day a little smoother, week by week.

What does love mean to me this year?

Sacrifice. Patience. Growing Pains. Small details.

Stepping out of my comfort zone.

I see love everywhere. And at the same time I see very thirsty souls.

What does love mean to you this year? What’s your favorite love song?

Soundtrack for the Lover in You:

Stevie Wonder- Rocket Love

Lalah Hathaway- Forever, For Always, For Love

Anthony Hamilton- The Point of It All

Usher- Here I Stand

And here’s to a newly discovered love song: Be Good (Lion’s Song) the animated version

Happy Lovers Day!

Legend

February 6th rolls around and I have this man’s birthday engraved in my mind.

Robert Nesta Marley, born in 1945. Died in 1981.

If I was around during his time, I most likely would’ve been a baby momma. If he would have had me, of course.

I recently saw his documentary, Marley. I mostly enjoyed it because it showed the man, in his own words. I can’t stand stories that are told from solely from second-hand informers.

Have you seen the documentary? What is your favorite Bob Marley song?

One love,

She

If I could, but that woman treats me the same.

If I watch this over and over, eventually I will form all the pieces of the puzzle.

For now, I’m just mesmerized by the surface beauty.

What do you make of it?
