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.

Thank You

Thank you to ALL my friends for everything you've done for me during this year.
I am grateful to all for all the little things that you do that may seem insignificant but they mean a lot to me.
For:
the time you called, texted, messaged, facebooked or emailed me just to say "hello nichole how are you doing?"
the time you shared a smile with me
the time you spent hours on the phone sharing your thoughts, your emotions, your experiences with me,
the time you shared a hug with me,
the time you shared a joke with me
the time you took out of your busy schedule to have lunch, dinner or coffee with me
the time you invited me to a movie (even if i couldnt make it, it shows you were thinking of me)
the time you encouraged me
the time you motivated me
the time you inspired me
and all the other things you did for me that i dont have space to write.

THANK YOU!!!
