Her Day: Me'shell Ndegeocello
My friend Be formally introduced me to this here lady, Me'shell Ndegeocello:
This was during our frequent exchange of music. When I discovered her, my first listen, 'Crying in your beer' blew me away! More than it was in the production, it was in her voice. The sincerity, the emotions it evokes, makes you listen to every word...and then the instruments.
Like most on earth, I LOVE MUSIC and people like Me'shell make me understand why. She is an absolute gem. And then, later I found out that I knew her music before I knew her name. 'Fool of me' was the first song I heard from this highly talented lady and to make things even more amazing, it was on the soundtrack of my favourite African American movie of all time 'Love and Basketball'.
I am definately looking to buy any of her albums that I can get my hands on. She has released 9 albums since she made her first appearance in the 90's, and her latest offering is 'Weather', released in 2011. Go look for her and listen...

a chance to start over new...in 2012
2011 was a good year. In all aspects of it, and I am greatful for the blessing that was year 23 of my life. I met new friends, I lost old ones, I kept existing ones, I got a promotion, I decided to go back to school (2012), I got my heart broken, I got my heart healed, I continually learnt how to love, live, be happy. I learnt new things, I rejected to learn some, I read lots of new books, and I bought most of them. I did not buy any CD's, I bought lots of clothes and gifts. I learnt how to accept things I cannot change, I learnt I was strong. I took lots of photographs, I had sleepless nights crying, I had long phone conversations talking about nonsense. I fell a couple of times inside my house, I rolled on the grass once. I splashed the man behind most of my smiles with water, I slapped him numerous times playfully, I held his hand, I looked into his eyes. I shared kisses, hugs. I screamed a couple of times, I lied on the floor in a bundle weeping once or twice. I smiled till my jaws became painful, I danced to slow and fast music. I went out at night every now and again, I spent the majority of my weekends watching movies, eating, and sleeping. I grew. I evolved into the woman I am today.
In 2011 I lived, and now I am being afforded the chance to start over new...in 2012.
Happy New Year, Blessing for the Year ahead.
Be Greater than you were before!!!
