When A Man Loves A Woman!
 
This evening, I needed to go to the petrol station to fill up my tank (WHOOP WHOOP) and purchase some merchandise from the shop on site. I was so comfortable, at home in my pyjamas and was tempted to hop straight into my car and venture out, pyjamas and all. I then remembered that I had been taught to never leave the house in my pyjamas. My mother and a lot of women have always told me that 'you never know who you might meet at the shops... What if the man of your dreams is inside and he sees you wearing your house-gear?'
 
I obediently threw on my chef pants and a coat over my pyjamas and took a drive up the road, feeling good about the fact that I was 'not wearing' my pyjamas. Upon my arrival, I noticed that there was an entire queue of people wearing night gowns and slippers and I felt like the only idiot, who was fully dressed in my 'appropriate' attire. The woman standing in front of me began to tell me a long story of how her dogs needed gravy for their food, otherwise they would throw a tantrum. I politely smiled and told her that she is a good mother and without any hesitation, I pulled my coat up and said 'Hey, look, I'm actually wearing my pyjamas too'. We walked out and continued to discuss her pets and I conveyed to her how I was warned not to wear my pyjamas out in public; as my dream-man could be waiting for me by the chip aisle (... like sure).
 
The woman (aged 50+) said to me: 'You know what my girly, if he loves you, he will love you in any state that he finds you in. My friends always ask me why I chill in my pyjamas all day and I simply tell them: BECAUSE I CAN. I love being in the comfort of my own home and why should I waste my time doing obscene amounts of laundry, when I can simply slip back into a fresh pair of pyjamas after I shower in the morning?. You know, when my late husband was still around, we used to sit in our back yard, naked and it was the best... We would sit and look at the trees all afternoon, with no clothes on. That is what true love is about: being completely comfortable in whatever attire you find yourself in. When you are naked and a man or a woman can sit by your side, for hours on end, without so much as a thought in mind; in his or her birthday suit... That is when you know that you have made it in the world. So never apologise for wearing your pyjamas to the shops and never be afraid of being your most natural self, for the man who loves you, will love all of you.'
 
I did not manage to catch the woman's name, because she soon after walked away from me. It does not matter though, because even though I will probably never see her again, that woman made my night and she had someone to share her loving story with, leaving her with the biggest smile on her face.
 
May her husband's soul rest in peace and may she remain as happy and confident in herself as she seemed tonight.
 
Jah bless their souls.
 
Best,

I prepared this salad by shallow frying some floured kingklip strips, in some: garlic, ginger and lightly salted butter. I then made the base for my salad by using some torn spinach and lettuce, chopped tomatoes and crumbed feta. To spice up the texture of my salad, I grated a potato and lightly fried it in an egg white; then I topped off the salad with some freshly grated carrots and a dijon mustard dressing.
 
Life is a great journey, lived to the fullest, only by a few great men.

RUB-A-DUB-DUB! 
 
 
My sister Rori Motuba made me this delicious, well-balanced meal circa. 2012 :)
 
 
A lot of people often think that I am crazy for being a non-meat eater. It was not until recently that I decided to stop eating chicken and pork. I have never really enjoyed eating red meat, because it makes my body feel weird, but my dad forbade me from becoming a vegetarian when I was a child; as he said that I needed to take in all the required nutrients necessary for stimulated growth. So since I was twelve or so, my body has primarily taken in the delicious tastes of chicken, pork chops, pork ribs (If you eat beef ribs, then I suggest you switch to pork, because they are so much better) and what used to be my favourite, BACON!
 
I found myself eating roast chicken and/or some form of pork almost every day and towards the end of 2012, I started to feel my body rejecting both chicken and pork. This made me a little sad, because when you have been in love for over a decade, it is difficult to let go.
 
One thing that I can tell you is that there are few better smells than that of a chicken being roasted to its perfection. If there is any form of meat that I seldom crave, it is definitely lamb chops and/or A WHOLE BABY CHICKEN!
 
I do not choose to eat fish only (even this is becoming slightly redundant), because of religious purposes or any other emotional reasons. I choose to do so, because it is what I enjoy, and life is about enjoyment. My body is my temple and I shall serve it wholly. What my body wants, my body gets; whether it be food, love or pure blessings. Look after yourself, the force of the Universe is there to guide you, use it!
 
You are the master of your inner-happiness, so create it wholly.
 
Best Love and Happy Sunday Funday.

DAY 7
 
'If it's love flowing freely, I'm ready! If the waters can redeem me, I'm ready!'
 

 
Today I would like to give thanks to Allah for giving the strength to complete week 1 of this Ramadan cycle. I have tried to fast during the Ramadan period before, but this time I am feeling much stronger in my will. I am more alive in my existence than ever before and it is thanks to the many Gods that protect my soul, that I am able to steer forth in my journey.
 
I would also love to give thanks to my many Muslim friends for being my pillars of strength and learning during this time. Faith is my religion and faith is what I have. In myself, in humanity, from this life to the next.
 
Today is dedicated to the ideals of love, life and ever-lasting happiness!
 
 
In the name of The Prophet Muhammed, The Word of Allah and the Heavens Above.
 
Best Love,
Khaleesi of the *Universe*

WORD OF THE DAY!
 
 
'I say Oh My GOD.
I don't care to say Oh My Gosh, because I am not scared'

I hope that your day has been one of splendour!

 I TOUCH MYSELF!
 
 

 
 
When I was much younger than I am now ;) I used to sing this song all the time. It is funny to know how pure ones mind is at the start of ones life. Singing sexual songs without any thought attached was my thing. Only now, after life has experienced me, do I realise that some of these songs were slightly inappropriate. I would have never chosen to live, any other way!
 
I hope that you all had the best Sunday-Funday ever!
May the week ahead bring about the new light of each day.
 
Best,

The Look Of Love
R18

How do you really feel someone, without having them inside of you for at least 15 minutes (or less, if you please, each to his own). Sex has become one of the most integral parts of our existence and it is in my belief that we need to redirect our focus at times in light of transferring the energy herewith; using it to power ourselves into having a finer comprehension of our interactions with others.

When it comes to making love, there are plentiful, easily avoidable, rookie errors that are still made, to this day. The most essential error being: A misunderstanding of the present moment. What is it about sex that allows us to transform into these fiends of love? If someone loves you, it should be evident in their behaviour and the way in which they connect with you. Sex is just sex at the end of the day and the emphasis that has been placed on it as a concept is becoming scarier each day.

A lot of women often make the 'mistake' of allowing themselves to believe that when they sleep with someone, it calls for a relationship or the development of their connection with that person. Here is an idea... Why not develop the relationship first AND THEN have sex? Other women often believe in waiting for the right person (which is okay). What happens though, if the other party is not interested in developing a relationship? Or the man that you waited for, that perfect being, happens to be improper down South? These are questions that are frequently asked and frequently ignored, because we are all taught that love prevails. Yes, love and love-making are somewhat interlinked, but if you separate the two, you will see that they are two very different concepts and I believe that they should be treated as such, in more instances than not. Most women fail to recognise the sexual liberation of other women; thus judging the sexual choices of the liberal; as if it were a reflection of their own moral fibre.

Sometimes sex is simply that: one, two or more people engaged physically in their sensuality, to have A GOOD TIME!

Many men, are sl*ts, but that makes them cool, in the eyes of others. To other men, they are THE MAN. To women, they are a challenge to take on; in the aims of being THE ONE to change their behaviour (Do not try this at home). A lot of men want women to be free. They are looking for the 'right girl'. The one that they want to marry. In the interim, they are flooded by a pool of dehydrated predators, waiting to touch their toes on any given Sunday; whilst the ones that they 'should have' married are forever lost; due to conditioned factors such as big egos and emotional revenge.

My question on sex, today is: If one is sexually active from the time that one loses ones virginity, for a period of five years; then one deactivates ones sexual engagement for a period of ten years, then what does that make one? Technically, one would have been active for less years than one was active; thus regenerating ones virginity, right? Biology says NO! The Church says YES.
I SAY THAT SOCIETY IS CONFUSED BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT!
 Society is completely obsessed with labelling people. Amongst us, there are sl*ts, playas, losers, virgins, loose girls, dodge boys etc. I think that we need to rid ourselves of any associations with such and be free in our existence. If a woman wants to sleep with thirty men in ten years, that is her choice as it is the choice of a man. This amounts to an average of three partners per year which, is apparently an ordinary number of sexual partners.

Many a time I have seen powerful women use and discard men as fast as they do, one-ply toilet paper. This automatically deems the woman as 'not serious' or 'A bad girl'. When men do the same, they have game. Why is there such a vast difference between they way in which women engage sexually and the way that men do? This is something that I have yet to understand. We have been brainwashed into believing that we are not the same. Physically, yes. Spiritually, no, Sexually? Woman need to have and think about sex as often, some more, than men do.
SOCIETY HAS JUST PLACED RESTRICTIONS ON THE EXPRESSION OF THESE NEEDS AND THE CONSEQUENCES ATTACHED TO THEM.
We are all one, we are all born under the house of mother nature and we all need to understand that when we act sexually, it is not always in the aims of affecting the next person. It is a mere act of self-will.

I am certainly not advocating being 'loose' and I will always vouch for the ideas of contraception and abstinence, I am just wondering if there is a deeper meaning to the ideals of love and love-making. We need to separate the two concepts and then we will have a better understanding of physical engagement as a whole. Sometimes, sex is just that: SEX!

A friend of mine once told us at a dinner party, that he would love it if him and his girlfriend could find a third partner. Obviously, this was not a good move; as most of the party-goers felt offended that one would ever consider such a disgusting form of loving. They called it greed, to be more specific. He was not interested in polygamy though. Him and his lady are simply trying to redefine their relationship. 'What about your kids' - WHAT KIDS?, 'What will people say?' - F*CK PEOPLE, 'It is going to be hard' - FOR WHO?. I do not know how such a relationship would work out, but monogamy appears to be the most difficult definition of a relationship for the most part, for most couples, is it not?

Think of it this way: You are an employee at a corporate firm. You are extremely bored with your mundane routine of driving to the office and staring at a computer screen, the dry walls and the even drier faces, everyday. You decide that it is time that you introduce a new form of working to your life, in order to balance out the boredom that comes with it; so you take on a job that allows you to work from home. It is the same work, but the nature of the environment allows for you to be more free and own more of your time; thus re-igniting and reminding you of your love for the work that you do. The home environment is the third element, in this case; which allows for you and your computer to be free in your movement and you are given enough space to really consider your role in fulfilling your duties. You know that you are at home, with nobody there to monitor you, but yourself. You feel more connected with yourself and your environment and you are not 'stuck' with the same old routines that you have allowed yourself to become absorbed by over the past few years.

We need to have a better understanding of each other and the ways in which we choose to grow as individuals and apart. To make love is to be in love, with another and yourself. To be confident in the connection that you share and to understand the moment that you are in. When we are bound by our sexual organs, we are torn between the ideas of love and physical connection and when we are lucky enough to find both, at the same time, we always feel the need to protect ourselves against any harm instead of living through the bliss that is shared. Every move seems calculated. The 'risks' involved form the foundation for our decision-making processes. We need to be fearless in love and even more-so in love-making. Our biggest fear is not that we are powerful beyond measure. Our biggest fear is allowing ourselves to fall in love. Our biggest fear is being unable to perform better, sexually, than the previous man or woman. Our biggest fear is knowing that previous partner and the connection that was once shared and our ability to surpass those standards.
Our biggest fear is that we will be chowed and chucked.

The answer to feeling someone is maintained in contacting them through their eyes, which will guide you to their soul. We will better understand our interactions with each other when we truly understand that the naked eye holds no lies and the naked body holds no fears.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

Best,
Khaleesi x

LET THE WATERS WASH OVER ME!

And love can create or destroy - depending on the direction of the wind when it is set free.'
