Solitude

“Words are my weapons

♥ Solitude

"Solitude is my solace”

The most precious time I have come to love and truly cherish over the years is the moments I spend in solitude! “Everyone can enjoy the company of others, but can you enjoy your own company just as immensely?” – MzMagan

I say one ought to always enjoy their own company above all else. Try it sometime. Find something that inspires you, something you enjoy doing, and do it alone!

Although my Saturday was spent amongst many friends, with abundance of laughter and plenty of food on the beach enjoying a beautiful BBQ, it was my Sunday that made my weekend splendid.

What did I do you wonder? I picked up my baby (my camera) and went to seek adventure on the streets of Toronto.

I took full advantage of ‘Open Doors Toronto’ where 150 buildings were free for admission for the weekend. I went to museums, garden houses, government’s buildings, live theatre, street corners and best of all; I ended my day enjoying the beautiful scenery and calming essence of the water at the Harbourfront center!

I spend the day from 12pm – 10pm alone bounding with my thoughts and my camera. Mash’Allah contentment was mine to have during those hours. The troubles of the world, my insecurities, him, my worries and all my troubles were suspended from my thoughts for those beautiful hours!

I laughed with perfect strangers from all walks of life! Everyone was drawn to the colourful girl with the BIG smile walking like she carried the world secrets in her bag – now that I think of it I did have a copy of the Qur’an in translation. Maybe that’s where my serenity stemmed from!

God is love, and self acceptance is all you ever need!

Well, let me share some of the pictures I took! Just a sample really! I hope you enjoy them half as much as I did taking them!

CHEERS!!

Falls

"Let your worries fall like un-controllable water and let your spirit be cleaned in the process"

Laughter was in abundance, beauty was captured, good times were had – all the while wearing my MC Hammer pants that I adore!

What a GREAT long weekend Alhamdulillah!





Mash'allah to the breathtaking view







The wax museum! Too many pictures to load up! Here are some of the ones I liked




Life is indeed like a box of chocolate, you never know what your gonna get – I always loved that line from Forrest Gump


Its always creepy to see pictures or images of dead people!



This does not look like Nicole Kidman from Moulin Rouge, but I liked the set up!



I feel in love with the adorable little girl, so while her parents were taking pictures of her I got behind them and snapped a picture. A little creepy I know lol! What a beautiful little angel thou!

♥ Quote

of the week

All you need is self love, self acceptance, and self worth!

Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.” Stacey Charter

Beautifully said! Just the type of quote I needed to read today!

Sunday

"Dare I hope summer has finally arrived?"

Beautiful day out with my sister, shopping, eating and enjoying the beautiful weather while strolling in the St. Lawrence market!

Sometimes all you need in your life is the people God blessed you with from birth.

I love free flowing long dresses such as this one. It about time I pulled out my collection of dresses now that the weather is finally co-operating. I really hope we continue seeing sunny days such as today mash'allah!

Thanks for a lovely time Miski! I love you ♥

Escaping Monday's madness

“Words are my weapons

♥ Mama Africa

"She closed her eyes and escaped Monday's madness to meet ethnocentricity on the shores of Mombasa beach"

Today was definitely more brutal than the average Monday!

Dermal anchor piercing on my right ring finger (my favourite piercing to date)

I remember the last time I wore this outfit last year; I was in Kenya, caught in a surreal moment of pure tranquility, beauty and peace! How I wish I was back there right now.

Tonight, I pray I drift into a deep slumber, only to awaken to find myself frolicking in warm waters and white sands somewhere on the coast of Africa.

Mama Africa, your daughter is eagerly anticipating your invitation back home again.

'Miski's muse'

♥ Miski's muse

"Amateur with an eye"

I wanted to share an armature photo session I had with my sister Miski today. For a beginner I think she did an amazing job.

Finding a reason to smile – Priceless

The highlight of my day was a compliment a Caucasian guy on the street gave me. He literally chased me, stopped me and said “You walk with such air of confidence it almost feels like your flying. Man you would make such a pretty super hero."

Instantly I thought of my childhood She-hero Storm from the X-man and smiled to myself. Best compliment ever received. Hence why I want to share it.

Other than that, another mundane Monday.

"I had a date with Monday I wish I stood up"

“Words are my weapons

♥ Monday's Muse

I had a date with Monday I wish I stood up

I anticipate Mondays the way people anticipate breakups – with dread! I wish I can find a way to divorce Monday’s or at least prolong my fleeting affair with Fridays. Better yet, why not just stand up Monday's and not even bother showing up for our usual date.

How wonderful would it be, if someone could bottle up the feeling of a Friday and make it into a fragrance to be purchased on a Monday? I know I would purchase that scent in large quantities and overdose myself with it every Monday.

Although I hate Mondays, and I admit my hatred dates back to my childhood – could be a repressed childhood memory now that I think about it. Maybe I got teased extra by the never ending bullies on Monday's? Maybe I flanked a major test that had a profound impact on my life today? Maybe I got dumped on a Monday? Or maybe I just hate the darn day because it would be admitting that the weekend has gone by in a blink and back to reality: School, work. Whatever the case or reason, I've always hated Monday's

Hence why I make an effort to make uneventful Monday's a little more bearable by playing dress up. Let me be honest, I never really need an excuse to dress up. I love all that is feminine, and dressing up in pretty things always makes me good.
