A true story so compelling and incomprehensible that it will leave you in awe, like it did me.
Call me Mary Poppins but I am all for the spoonful of sugar and making the task a ‘spree’. Casting myself in a wonderful movie called “ The Way it’s Gonna Be!”. I may not succeed in everything but I certainly make forward shifts this way.
Thanks for this post!
Your big ideas will fail. I’ve already covered that :)
When I worked at an orphanage (or “motherless babies home” as its called here) in Lagos, every week we would have people from all walks of life coming to visit, make donations, play with the kids and/or volunteer. It happened once or twice a month that one of the…

Quer saber? Nunca me senti tão vivo. Com problemas de gente grande, um emprego estável, em teoria, e muita vontade de parafrasear a minha sorte em qualquer boteco de esquina. Não costumo desdenhar daquilo que faz meu coração pulsar, mas é exatamente por manter meus pés no chão que não tenho medo de abrir…
I have this verse hanging on a plaque in my house, from Proverbs 31:25:
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
This past week, in a Sunday morning sermon from W. Gucker (www.mission19.com), I heard something new. Proverbs 31:10 begins a mother’s…

Life is divine perfection exactly the way it is.
This reminds me very much of my last job. The marketing department had added new people and the new marketing campaign was extremely successful. As orders increased, the volume of my work went up exponentially. The new database was an enormous step backwards in terms of functionality and everything took longer to enter and process. More and more…

I have a friend who told me that he always had difficult bosses to manage. Irrespective of the number of jobs he moved, the experience always remained the same!
Wouldn’t you know it, thought Jo-Anna, trusting him to take care of the bills was such a mistake! What will I do to cover all these notices to pay? Apart from being unfair, it’s just impossible! As…

Zaira, this piece accentuates your quiet humility, a reflection of sound mind, layered with soaring talents and wholesome mother wisdom.
A piece of yours, large/long or small/short, fails not to stir my core and leaves precious imprints there.
Thanks, Zaira, I wish to only see you more often!
Everyone has moments in their lives that are painful, and difficult to bear at times. It’s the inevitable part of the cycle of life that what we must deal with.

This is beautiful… I love snakes, but they are so often demonized by the media and society, when in reality they aren’t out to hunt and kill humans. Each soul should respect other souls; the link to the video is a wonderful example of what this world could be.
