"On My way to Bamako" ~ by EB & HK

"On My way to Bamako" 

~ by Eric Bibb & Habib Koité ~

======================

Well, I'm on my way to Bamako
A place I always wanna go
I'm on my way to Bamako
To see what I can see.

Got a good friend there, Habib Koité
A great musician, by the way
Got a good friend there, Habib Koité
Gonna meet his family.

It's my first trip to West Africa
But I'm pretty sure
In some kind of way
It's gonna feel like coming home.

Well, I'm on my way to Bamako
Gonna leave behind the ice and snow
I'm on my way to Bamako
To see what I can see.

Gonna turn my face up to the sun
Close my eyes and thank the one
Turn my eyes up to the sun
That shines in Bamako.

It's my first trip to West Africa
And I'm pretty sure
In some kind of way
It's gonna feel like coming home.

It's my first trip to West Africa
And I'm pretty sure
In some kind of way
It's gonna feel like coming home.

Feel like coming home.

The Lovely Jennifer Garner ~ by Hénock Gugsa

 

Jennifer Garner as Cinderella!

 The Lovely Jennifer Garner 

~ by Hénock Gugsa ~

     I love Jennifer Garner on Instagram! She's such a fun person! She can cover the whole gamut of human emotion ... the whole spectrum! She can be funny (hilarious), she can be serious (thoughtful) ... she can be goofy and self-deprecating; or she can be elegant and a devastating beauty! Her hobbies and talents are just awe-inspiring ... she's into gardening and cooking, she connects with friends for spiritual support, and I don't know what else ... probably a ton of other social activities, that we don't even know, occupies her time. Of-course, she's a mom and she keeps that private, which is what it should be. 

     In general, I just love that she is not a show-off ... instead she shares those things she runs across that crack her up, that inspire her, that elevate her knowledge or life experience. I follow Jen's Instagram not only to catch that gorgeous dimply face and her genuine, unaffected smiles but also because her posts offer great source material! Thank you, Jennifer Garner! ❤️
