Threat her royal Kesse feat Sarkodie
An amazing song, talks about treating her royal, doing all the things she'd love you to do. It really feels 

good to be love, and to love, you know, you loose nothing, and spiritually it's enlightening. I love being 

love, so I aways love. It feels good to make her day always.



Odo (Love)





Girl on Fire - Alicia Keys


Enjoy these amazing tracks, and make sure to dance to the Ghana groove (1st 2 songs)  if you don't 

understand the lyrics. Good music is universal

If we talked only of the good time's, it wouldn't make us human.

Challenges and obstacle are overcome by God's grace

To create a facade of "a perfect relationship" is ultimately not our goal.  Like everyone else in life, we 

do face challenges; we disagree like any other couple at times, but we face our challenges, and

overcome our pitfalls. 

Defying the odds in any relationship is a major, and a constant ordeal, but prayer smoothens and heals

 all wounds.  No one know's what tomorrow brings, therefore, we live not in perfection, but we flourish

through our falls to achieve merit in our Love.


Today, we are saddened by a loss in our family. Through this, we pray for God's constant protection, 

and guidance in all we do. Day's like this, we are more armored and ironcladed than ever, we lean on 

each other for strength, and for God's ultimate protection.

We defy the odd's pessimism, we will overcome, God be our helper. 


Amen,
To Our
Love

Each second of time, every speed of sound and light, we love without boundaries or grudges. We love

because its our commitment to each other.

When we eat, we eat together from the same plate, We pray together, We stay in love and live together,

We cherish each other in all we do.

My Queen is my peace of mind and peace at heart- she is the reason for my peaceful drools and

heavenly snores at night:)


It's Love Only
It's Only Love



Amen,
To our
Love

Setting up a to do list is fun, exciting, curious, and adventurous. We get to see what each other has  planned for the week, and how we can salad both goals and still spend quality time together.

Being together pretty much, partitions us to focus on  helping each other...


See Must Do's in Realtionships- Coming Soon


Amen,

With a heavy schedule, and the demands of work, school and family; sparking more flames in our relationship, more or less has become a favorable and an exciting aspect of our love. It bring's out the childhood fantasies- more to reality.We both take time to look for lovable ideas' or pleasantries that we anticipate to enjoy.

FOODIE'S
We do cook a lot, most of the time together, but My Love is so smooth with her cooking , I'm trying to catch up to her- it's no walk in park keeping up with her, it's tough because she's so good at it- one day, one day " I go catch up". 
So each time we cook, we anticipate the "hmmm...hmmm, babe, this is good" moment. When my Love cooks, I express my sincerest, honest taste buds acceptance- it's glamours to see how she grins and glows, and I love seeing her like that.

On the same token, when I cook, and she loves it, I love that feeling, especially when she will not stop talking about it, my shoulder broaden's and I grow dimples with a pristine initial smile proceeding a belly grabbing loud silly to hysterical laugh. 

We try out different restaurants also, we dont stick to Italian, American, or Thai, we explore all sorts of food- we definitely are foodies; cautions on how we spend however. 

There are certain restaurants that when you check in on your smart phone give's you discounts on what you eat; a typical example is Yelp , so we do that quite often.  Don't forget, saving money spices up relationships too..





With this post we'll mainly focus on food, on the next Spicing Up Our Relationship (SUOR), we'll emphasize on our experiences with treating ourselves to massage's and other "Nirvana"- taking health modalities 

We surprise each other a lot, we know what we both like, so surprises are key. It feels good to get an unexpected cologne ( men's fragrance) you've wanted; and the best part, it doesn't have to be an occasion- feels so good. 

See you in the next post, when we explore other surprise ideas, working out together- biking; and,  how we "treat ourselves"....

Amen 
To Our Love

The flamboyant colors she explores exemplifies the beauty in her nature, and a beauty in nature, she

tell's me the colors she wears, are less vibrant than how she feels inside- hearing her say that make's me

feel good to know that I'm  to be doing the right thing (s) - Loving her with all that God has given me. 

She's ultimately a testimony of an answered prayer, and a fulfillment of all that this man desires; her

character towards other's, her love for all of humanity, and her constant keen willingness to extend a

helping hand shed's a glorious flamboyance of heavenly kindness.

I dont go a minute without saying Thank you for this, or for that, and thank you for us- we are without

a doubt God's blessing

I never wrote this much, and I'm beginning to ask myself where is this side of me is coming from.....

Well, give me a minute to look around....I realize its Bob Marley's Three Little Bird's in the

background, a mint candle shadowing the quiet walls, and blessing the room with sweet aroma, her

voice as she mumbles the lyrics across the room- I guess the feeling is from within and auras around

me.
 How I really feel? Free to be in love with a "Colored" Woman - it's beautiful

As long as we live, 

As long as God permits

Our Love Will Remain Pure

With your prayer, and our constant devotion

We remain Victorious

Amen,
To Our
Love

A good shoe is definitely not only a solid stance in stature, but speaks a thousand words, and represent's what you "stand" for. I just got these Great Jone's Chukka's from Cole Haan Great Jones Chukka


Courtesy of Cole Haan 
                                                                 Great Jone Chukka

If you are purchasing this Chukka or any comfortable shoe, its alomost a sin not to solidify your stance comfortable in socks that breath easy on your sole (soul) I have always Town Stripe Socks, and they are currently on sale at the above link by Cole Haan also



You definately will not go wrong wearing this with a hot blazer, Macy's have Navy Blue Blazer for $92.99, it is slim fit,  buttons  to the front and vent in the back; but you can get it for cheaper when you sign up for a Macy's card, and other mailed in coupons.

Indeed, this is a blessed profession.

Wake up by 5:30am, leave home by 615am, no time to eat breakfast, get to work by 645am, and start working by 658am. Still no breakfast, get report on one, or two, or three patients, and make rounds, attend to orders, verify medications, infusions and patient's critical level's, the clock ticks, and it's 930am.

A sneak in and out to the pantry for some crackers with apple juice or some cereal with milk, goggle it down fast with some water, and back to work. The best 5 minutes of the day much appreciated by a calling appetite. Thank you Lord!!

Get medications, start administering medications, that is if nothing goes wrong with any of the acutely ill patients, by 1050, medications are given, soon, bladder call seems demanding , but new orders demands prevents this organ relief. Ho---ld on.....some Kegel exercise and its all forgotten about.

It's 11am and its time for noon medication administration along with dressing changes, blood administration, sedation holidays, suctioning, oral care, repositioning, decubiti care, pumps and ventilators alarming, phones hacking, monitors screaming v-runs and a-fibs, and soon-------a deep breath, and reality sets in for documentation. All this while and no penned documentation?

Its 1230pm and the bladder roars to empty or be disgraced. Bathroom break amazingly becomes relieving. A deep Sigh of Relieeeeeeeef!!! Eyes closed, and silent patient prioritization is mentally being implemented. Hand hygiene...oops! a text from Love" have a blessed day, I love you" Reply text, and phone rings for patient oxygen desaturation, a page to respiratory therapist to adjust settings, and detailed explanation to panicking family members who anticipates water- into- wine recovery of loved one. Amen!

Indeed this is a blessed profession.

By now, an expert at standing whiles eating, eagerly eats jollof rice from home and ensures to grind chicken musculature to enhance fiber and calcium consumption. A look through the window at sunny and cold afternoon confirms vitamin D deficiency- boy oh boy!!!! Malnutrition, Vitamin D deficiency , Cardiac issues.....ok back to reality. Tops up lunch with no water but some apple juice all in 8 minutes, and its time for documentations and medication administration at 1400.

                                         


5 more hours. 5 more hours. Almost there, almost there.Discharge one patient, clean the two left, its 1630, and a trauma alert goes off, "trauma alert adult in the Emergency Room"- announced 2x- to make sure its heard.

Indeed, this is a blessed profession.

Its 1700, and it's confirmed and admission on the way. A family member arrives and demands to speak to the doctor, at the same time  call bell goes of in another patient room while the sedation, pain and paralytic infusing run's out- and pharmacy is yet to replenish inventory.

Indeed, this is a blessed profession.

It's 1800, dehydration, occasional mild calf spasms calls for hydration, mild headache is ignored. Siting becomes is heavenly earned, 5 missed calls from family and students for CPR class, and 4 text messages are replied; 100 emails ignored, and the heart and mind are in perfect harmony.

1830, IV is magically infiltrated, and bowel movement miraculously becomes demand from an assigned patient- another late night- looking like home at 2100, and a repeat of today tomorrow.


Indeed, this is a blessed profession.

Life without failure(s) is a life not worth lived

All the struggles has been worth it

It was difficult getting through some of them

But God's protection sculptured our failures into blessings



Looking back, there's nothing we would have changed

Nothing really



Maybe......no maybe: I've been reminded that we wouldn't have changed a thing 

All the hardships have been worthwhile

Giving up is not an option

Our perceived failures have become fruitful

For the most part, we were both highly independent before we eloped.  
Privacy, Freedom, No commitments,Lots of free-time, and on and on
Then came Love
Love says, "Henceforth, you live with each other for the rest of your lives-learn to live together.
What amazes us is how dependent we have become of each other.  We continue to learn a lot about each other day-in-and-out. The things that we thought we knew about each other, evolves to another form. 

The most important factor we have come to realize is paying attention to the "vital signs". We listen more, empathize and then explore solutions to our concerns. The vital signs include, " Becoming involved in our day-to-day obligations to decrease each other's work load. 
Vital sign is anything that bother's the other- and that has to be attended to, in order to keep Love in equilibrium.

We pleasantly and jokingly share tasks.
We cook for each other
We always eat together
We plan our week(s) together
We set common goals



Love is a beautiful concept when embraced with spirituality. The peace and harmony we share is not by our own making. The challenges we overcome are not by our own strength; therefore, when we fall,  we do not give up, because we believe in God to move us pass/past where we were before.

Amen to our 
Love

We've been together for almost 3 solid years, there has been good times, tough times, beautiful times, happy times, and lots of time for love.....We keep it kinky and lively to keep us going; wanna know how do we spice things up and keep the "fire burning"?

We keep our love candle burning inside out, by God's grace.....We blog this post with Anita Baker- you're my everything on the background, it's raining out, and we sit close to each other with eagerness to cuddle.

It's Sunday, so the mood is already blessed. It's quiet, peaceful, and we hear each other heartbeats through our closeness. We smile and wink at each other. She tickles me, and I think I might oddly hit some senseless keys on this keyboard dsjkcxlkl;k

You really wanna know how we keep our loved fueled up? There're so many things we do to spice up our love, and none of them are difficult to accomplish.

Being in a relationship is only fun when new things come up all the time- we don't keep on saying "Babe, I'm tired of doing this all the time".

No day is the same, therefore, every routine can definitely be tweaked up, and juiced up more, and more, and more, and more.

It's like a favorite project with an adventurous ambition/passion, blended in compassion, with intense and solemn eagerness to excel, mixed with the curiosity to give new explorations a thought.

Here are some approaches/ attempts that have been successful in spicing up our Love:

We

1. have not settled to please each other's needs....

Oh boy!!!!

Why we pay so much attention in class. He writes me a "lovingly-silly" love note in the middle of a

Long and dragging Neurological disorder's lecture. Already, I had been so stressed out about the fact

that we didn't have a clinical site for this semester; yeah I know, I  know, sometimes the nagging

demand's of tertiary education is a stone in my shoes............but after reading his note, it definitely put a

Smile on my face - I blushed and smiled through my self-induced stress....

Love note definitely came in handy

The week is not over, however, these are the top 3 things we've loved far:

Loving: We (Dennis  & Lilian) have worked almost 48 hours this week, and, have been able to blend in school, family and our love strong- all by God's grace. We are humbled everyday and pray for God's guidance and blessings in all we do.




Music
Oliver-Mtukudzi-tuku is such an amazing musician, he lives and loves music. The lost of his son rocked his world, but he's been able to gain strength through music, and continues to recover. We have learned from his passion for his art and his love + dedication to family; on the whole his everlasting love for music.
   Tuku



Nelson Mandela recovers. His life means a lot to all of humanity, his struggle has healed a lot of wounds, and he's God sent. Compassionate, charismatic, forgiving, warm, and kind- a great deal of positive accolades for man to strive for
Mandela

Leaning on each other is one of our strongest building blocks. We have been able to accomplish a lot together by gearing towards working together, sharing ideas, facing our fears, tackling and overcoming challenges.

I always thought I could be independent in all i did, i felt i didn't need anyone. I used to say "I would be able to accomplish all of my goals alone- I'm young, I can party, travel and have no concrete commitments. I would brag about " I don't need to be in a relationship" my friends, especially my lady friends would sigh in so much disappointment and uncertainty.

Fast forward to now, being in a relationship has boosted my achievements- actually I have been able to accomplish more together with my Boo than I would alone.

The teamwork is concrete, and what amazes me the most is the manner in which brainstorming together yields diverse and great viewpoints. Lets say I want to fly to Florida for a vacation when I was single,I would plan to stay in South Beach closer to the clubs and the night life- there's nothing wrong with that now; but now that is boosted with " how about we take  a Ferry to Bahamas the next day....

Interdependence in our love is heavenly. Don't think for a second that we agree on everything, but we acknowledge and respect each other about everything.

Amen to our
Love.

What a day this was........A day to remember.........We spent a great evening at the "The View Restaurant, Marque, Time's  Square, NY. The food was amazing and there's something special about that building, you have to visit to find out, because we cannot  let the secret out. Don't forget it's Time Square, NYC, make sure you have enough to spend, and most importantly be yourself and take that special "someone there; we can guarantee that you will not be disappointed. 

Anyway, It was a resplendent night; forever cherished

Everyday we become more humbled by His grace

Everyday we see someone in need of better health

Everyday we see someone become better

Everyday we're thankful for all that God has us with- Love, Family, and Friends

Everyday we see a smile through a frown

Everyday we see an unforced tear of joy and sadness

But in-spite of all of this God sees us through - Everyday

Everyday we're humbled

Amen to our Love

If I could live the rest of my life and love only - I would; I would not have to worry about work, work, and work.

I'd sleep my heart out, kiss my love when awake, enjoy morning runs and great sun-kissed weather, enjoy a long morning glory of a breakfast, and set off to volunteer at a local shelter

Imagine living without worrying about bills- I think that's love. We work so hard and we get old, get slow, get grey, get stuck in wisdom, and a cane becomes our best friend we share out life stories with- maybe that's love

If I had it my way, I'd travel and help the poor and the needy, learn different cultures, eat some cultural delicacies expressed in enticing aromatic food, heartfelt dance and soul gripping music- most importantly Love every second, and live always.
