thoughts of my head upon my bed
The guest speaker at the UofM commencement service on Sunday, Dr. Raynard S. Kington, shared a story about his six-year-old son who couldn’t go to sleep one night because three things were bugging him. As any conscientious father would, he hoped to resolve these issues, assuage his son’s fears and put him to sleep, but the …
When I first told my younger sister that I was knitting a scarf, she laughed me to scorn. “You must be REALLY bored,” she said, “knitting’s for old people.” (And then she begged me to knit her a scarf! haha) My Mom laughed too when my sister shared the news with her. But she’s the …
Last week, my family welcomed to the world my second niece – baby No-Name Nhari 🙂 After a very difficult pregnancy in which she was mostly bed-ridden, my sister was too weak to push the 5.7lbs bundle of joy into the world. But thanks to vacuum suction, baby No-Name entered the world with no other …

It’s as impossible to define the parameters of Never-Married/NM singles as it is to find two identical cultures. That’s because marriage …
Music is a wonderful thing! And by that I mean it is a thing of wonder… When no words could express an emotion Chopin’s nocturne captures it effortlessly. The cascading notes whisper your true meaning And though no-one else understands, you feel understood. That’s because music is like capturing a feeling in a sound So …
I just watched a TED talk on slavery. There’s a part of me that wishes I hadn’t because now, I know, and now, I feel so helpless. More than 27million people enslaved in the world today…some sold into slavery for as little as $18. Sex and textile slavery are probably the most commonly known, but …
One evening, on a drive back home from prayer meeting at church, my Dad asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up. It was one of those precious moments one-on-one with your Dad which you never forget. And being a Daddy’s girl, it meant so much to me that he even cared …
