True Love

I saw this beautiful picture on Instagram so I had to share it! I still believe in true love, marriage and happily ever after! The reason I do is because for a part of my life shortly after my mother’s death, I was raised by a strong black couple, a Pastor and his wife who displayed true love in every single aspect of their lives. So I believe there ARE good black men and since I have witnessed true love first hand, I know how a man who loves his wife treats her and so I have high expectations and standards and I will settle for nothing less. AND I know a REAL MAN knows how to treat his wife like a QUEEN so if I am in a relationship and that type of LOVE and RESPECT is not there, it’s time for me to GO!

Steven Covey died at 79

My condolences to the family of Stephen Covey. I read  the 


"The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People"  and it 


changed my whole perspective on how I view life. He was

truly a remarkable individual and  we are grateful for his 

contribution to shaping the minds of people all over the


 world.

Meeting Family on Facebook

If someone else had told me I would meet most of my family on facebook I would have laughed them to scorn. But it is just amazing how I keep meeting new family on facebook! The amazing thing is my family features are so strong it is just hard to deny the resemblance. And I keep having friend requests from long lost cousins who look just like me! Amazing! My father spent most of my childhood hiding me from my mom's family and from his own family. Why? I dont know. Facebook really brings the world together. Facebook also brings all the stuff your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, grandaunts, granduncles were doing in the dark...to light! No longer do you have to wait for the next funeral to meet long lost cousins. Hopefully you wont find out that the partner you were planning to marry (because both of you had soooo much in common...) is really your long lost cousin! And hopefully you dont find this out at your wedding ! ( wedding turns into your nightmare when family from groom's side and bride's side start saying Hello cousin so and so! Hello Uncle! Hello Aunty!) Anyway, whatever the critics may say, facebook is amazing. (This coming for someone who used to be afraid of facebook). More on this to come! Stay tuned!

Some of the things i take for granted

I was listening to this radio program where they were talking about these Sudanese mothers fleeing their homes and having to cross the desert, some walking across the desert for 18 days or more, mothers forced to leave their kids behind in the desert because the kids are too weak to continue the journey, can you imagine being a mother and having to choose which kid to leave behind in the desert because you are weak also and cant carry all of them, and in order to save the others you have to leave one behind...it makes me think about the things i take for granted...like freedom, and food to eat, and a place to live...and freedom

I woke up this morning

I woke up this morning
I had health
I had strength
I was in my right mind
I had food to eat
I had clothes to wear
I had shelter
I had people who cared for me
Thank you God for all your blessings!

Being a Leader

Leadership is not easy. There are people who will like you for what you are doing, and some people decide that they dont like you. But you cant please everyone, you just have to remember why you became a leader, and remain committed to your cause.
