26. Say, "O Allah! Lord of Power, You give power to whom You please, and You strip off power from whom You please. You endue with honor whom You please, and You bring low whom You please. In Your hand is all Good. Verily, over all things You have Power."
(The Family of Imran 3:26)
Natty you're so beautiful, it's arousing. I always thought you can be so sexy with just a head shot. Seeing your lovely shoulders is a bonus. When I woke up this morning, I couldn't stop watching that little video clip. Natty, I love you. By the way, shade is better than sunblock. Please protect your precious skin.
Oh, you love the Internet? So do I. I spend most of my Internet time on Second Life and YouTube. But will we watch the same channel when we share the same bed inshaAllah? In this video tour of the Venice Beach Boardwalk dated 6/22, the homeless encampments seem to be creeping further south beginning at the Ben and Jerry's, with the bulk of it after the LA Fame building as usual. I would say there are more tents than the last video I posted.
Natty I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart, and I appreciate your love. I give my life to you for us to be married inshaAllah.
Do you remember the busy day on the Venice Beach Boardwalk yesterday? I found another video by some other person made on Monday June 21. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and it's summer by the beach. But there are less people.
Maybe it's because it's a Monday. Maybe it's not a Hollywood production. It doesn't matter, really. The American homeless need to be taken care of.

20. So if they dispute with you, say, "I have submitted my whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me." And say to the people of the Book and to those who are unlearned, "Do you submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance. But if they turn back, your duty is to convey the message. And in Allah's sight are God's servants.
(The Family of Imran 3:20)
Hi Natty! How are you, Honey? I sure hope everything is going well for you. I think you are going to do just fine inshaAllah. What's for dinner? You know I always think of what you eat. I've been reflecting on what I usually eat, and I find that I've been eating street food most of the time. Even when I cook for myself, I eat street food. It's the damned budget, plus the time constraint. I haven't had sushi for a long time. Whether it be local or Western street food, that's what I've been making and eating lately. Boy, that BBQ lamb sure looks good. I had to give up BBQ because it was making me bloated, but I think it's almost time to break that fast. Chicken is the cheapest way to go, but now I'm thinking about lamb... That Japanese lady in the video does all of the tasting on camera. She must enjoy her job, as would I if I were in her situation, but she used to be a lot thinner. Now that there's a pandemic going on, she's had time to take a break from street food.
You can see more encampments and trash from this angle of the video tour of the Venice Beach Boardwalk. That doesn't stop the summer crowd, though. I've seen long lines at restaurants in front of the north parking lot where there is a large concentration of tents. It's as if the homeless are part of the view, with a strange kind of celebrity status. We can thank YouTube for that.

12. Say to those who reject faith, "Soon will you be vanquished and gathered together to hell, an evil bed indeed!"
15. Say, "Shall I give you glad tidings of things far better than those? For the righteous are gardens in nearness to their Lord with rivers flowing beneath, therein is their eternal home with companions pure, and the good pleasure of Allah. For in Allah's sight are God's servants."
(The Family of Imran 3:12,15)
Hi Natty! How are you feeling today, Honey? I hope you are feeling marvelous, and at peace with the world and your place in it. Did I ever tell you that I used to be in sales? People say you have to have a good attitude in order to do well in sales. I found that I did best when my emotions were neutral, as opposed to being in a good or bad mood. But I never wanted to be in sales, so inevitably my attitude became rotten. Neither did I want to be in the food business. However I am grateful for the knowledge in cooking that Allah granted me, so alhamdulillah for that. Eventually every salesperson will have to talk to a stranger over the phone, and try to sell him/her something. This guy above has some solid tips for phone sales plus he seems to enjoy what he does, which makes him a hundred times better salesman than me. I got other shit to do. It's not that I look down upon salespeople. Did you know that prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) was a salesman before he became a prophet?
