Brushes stroked blank canvases
to a soundtrack of creativity
open hearts and open minds
conversations over wine
and quality time
with the man that was mad
cold bodies, heated each otha
like two sticks creating fyah
the hugs and spoons
drifted into slumber
awakened by the light
of the sun
Only to
end the night's bliss.

40/40/20

Had a conversation the other night with a friend that said he had to be 50% physically attracted to a woman and 50% mentally attracted to her.  Some may view physical attraction as a bit shallow, but if we are honest with ourselves, we will acknowledge that huemans are visual creatures first.  So I can understand that both physical and mental attraction is necessary to play a part in sustainability of a relationship, if there is to be one.  So I started thinking about what my percentage "requirements" are, and I think I've decided at 40% physical attraction,  40% mental attraction, and 20% room for growth attraction.  40% physical attraction is a good starting point for me.  Meaning a guy is handsome enough for me to want him to be close to me for an extended period of time, you know the basics.  Eyes, smile, cleanliness, nice forearms(don't ask).  Things I find physically attractive.  This may sound surface, but it is a reality.  I want to be attracted to the person I'm with.  And attraction is  relative and a matter of personal opinion.  40% mental attraction is enough for me to stay intrigued,  be able to carry on conversations, and learn something from a guy. There is nothing like being able to look a handsome brotha in the face and what is coming out of his mouth is making sense, funny, and intriguing.  WIN.  That 20%, ironically, is what I find most appealing though.  The room or potential for us to grow and build.  In other words, the person needs to have an openness about them. Open mind. That 20%, although small numerically can exponentially make a great relationship for me.  I think this 20% would compliment the mental and physical attraction and harness an innergetic/spiritual gravitation towards each other because of that openness and potential. What's your percentages? Just some randomness.....

Brinner success

And fabulous it was!  My planned candlelit brinner (breakfast for dinner) and more was a total and complete success.  I think the individual on the receiving end was more than pleasantly surprised and every appetite was satisfied. ***pats self on the back***.   It goes to show, when I really apply myself, epicness occurs.  This event was motivation to apply that same innerg to more situations in my life. Go hard or go home.  Go all in.  Ya get the idea.  Look out world..

here goes nada



I've come to realize and accept that I have a compulsive disorder with making list when I'm in the process of planning something.  I'm typically fairly organized, but when it comes to something that I consider to be a big deal to me and the persons involved, I tend to reach a whole notha' level of organization--- and lists, and checking and re-checking.  So much so, that I'm starting to get on my own damn nerves.   But, I love the whole process of coming up with an idea, building on the idea, creatively nipping and tucking the idea, and executing it. Here's to trusting the end result will be fabulous.   Stay tuned......

Had a great workout/yoga session with my cousins on this past Sunday.  I'm hoping  we can keep that inner g going each Sunday, so I can get better at teaching and we can continue to connect and create great ciphers.  I love my female cousins, they truly are the best positive female inner g a girl could have around.
