Riding on Mother’s Back

Posted by 'Funlayo on Sunday, September 4, 2011, In : Reflection 


E kaaro
(good morning) from Massachusetts! I’m back in ilu Amerika and feeling very blessed to begin my 32nd ride around the sun today. I’m spending this birthday weekend with two of my favorite people –my parents – and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with sista-friends to break bread and laugh lots later on this evening. So much fun to have and love to share!

As I knelt in prayer this morning, I began to reflect on all the beautiful babies I saw riding their mother’s backs ...

Whatever it may be – large, small, or in between – it feels good to achieve goals and check things off the “to do” list. I’m finishing out my first year of grad school (wait… it’s been a year already? Wow!) and preparing to move into a new place so there’s lots on my list, but, thankfully, it’s all coming along.

Happy 2011! I pray that you were able to ring it in doing something fun! I took a wonderful white bath, said my prayers and then spent the rest of the night drinking hot cocoa, eating homemade biscuits with tupelo honey butter and laughing like crazy with my oldest brother. It was a relaxed yet fun-filled evening just like I wanted. Laughter is a great way to start – or finish! – just about anything.

Join me for a Film on Friday!

Alaafia! Namaste! Hope you're all doing great today! I'm feeling wonderful and really enjoying all the great energy I've been receiving from my family, friends and readers. As I mentioned in this post, I've recently been invited to begin my Ph.D. at Harvard University and the response to this accomplishment has been incredibly moving and humbling.
