Swanky!

Summertime sits at the tip of our lips, we can almost taste it. It's so close and I for one am definitely here for it. I'm feeling rather succulent and refreshed; plus, so ready for the wind to blow through my locs and for my delicious, annual affair with the sun. Something about the summertime that brings forth and gives life to my internal, wild mare. Hibernation time is ova!

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze drifting on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
​And I'm feeling good! - Nina Simone (Feeling Good)

"Freedom is MINE and I know how I feel..." belts from the speakers in my favorite husky voice. Nina (Simone) had something to say. The song surmises my exact sentiments right now as I'm feeling youthful, playful and beautiful; but just when I thought it couldn't get any sweeter, Sara Vaughn slid a slick, silk-like and sultry, 'Summertime' into the airwaves for my listening pleasure. 

Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Oh your Daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin
So little baby, don't you cry.

One of these mornings 
You'e goin to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And take to the sky - Sara Vaughn (Summertime)

Sara wooed me right into the Eagles, "Hotel California" and I knew then let the debauchery, oops, I mean festivities begin!

With gratitude, I shall enjoy this summer in a way unlike any other. I feel something incredibly special brewing and I shall sip it slowly while allowing it to nourish me from the inside out. 

​Namaste
