Hi BoLove! I forgot to show my final Maasai Twist. Thanks for your interest, the advice to protect my hairline, products to use, how long to keep them, and how to remedy the eina.
I had a good laugh at some of your experiences. Hey lobuhle buyasebenzelwa. Thanks for the love. 😘
#Love
is patient, kind, doesn’t envy or boast. It does not dishonor others, delight in evil, or keeps record of wrongs. It is not proud, self-seeking, or easily angered. It rejoices with the truth, always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. Love never fails.
1 Cor. 13:4 - 8
“The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock-the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flock. The Lord your God will bless you in the land He is giving you.” Deuteronomy 28:4

Sunday: I heard busyness in the kitchen, and then sneaked up on these cupcakes doing the dishes, of their own volition.
I got teary-eyed, remembering myself, and how my mum would upturn a bucket so I could be of sink height when we made and sold sandwiches at soccer stadiums. ❤️
My deepest gratitude to you Sis’ Thuli for writing my Foreword. What an honour! To me you represent a moral compass for our nation. As a mentor, I am inspired by your truth, your courage, your wisdom, your grace & your brilliance. Thank you for YOU Prof. God bless you. Love u. ♥️
My heart deeply aches for the parents of Enoch Mpianzi. So gut wrenchingly painful to lose a child who had a promising future. I really don’t have the words. Condolences to his family. Sending prayers your way. 💔💔💔

Where do I honestly begin...you came into the world and you changed my world. I cannot seem to remember life without you my boy. When I fist held you in my arms, something shifted in me and I was never the same. I knew by the grace of God, I had birthed a beautiful being.
