Today was World AIDS Day - December 1st. The first day of the last month of the year. The last hoorah! Also the peak of the holiday season and the coldest of winter's days.
Thanksgiving came and went and exorbitant amounts of food consumed therein have since been digested and excre..

I wore my Zulu Love Letter that my mom gave me many years ago and I've done a great job of not losing it as little as it is and for the many times I've moved.
All Zulu love letters have a certain language or coding and identifying properties that communicate marital status, family background, clan etc to those in the know and between women in a community who produce them for men whether strangers or familiar suitors.
The AIDS awareness symbol being on this one, may have been specifically speaking to raising awareness, but the colors still carry some meaning. The table below from HERE says something about the colors which tend to have both positive and negative connotations, except white, depending on the communicator. You can decide for yourselves what my letter says/means:
Happy World AIDS Day! Beyond today, know your status and get tested.
p.s. Enjoy this Kwaito December anthem, by the best that ever did it - TKZee. Timeless hit for the festive season and a summertime Christmas!
