Today marks the one year anniversary of my first day at this job. It has been quite a ride! The move from Michigan was rough. Financially. Emotionally. Socially. Rough. But here we are, one year later, and God has seen us through! When we filed our taxes, our tax preparer asked how we managed to …

thoughts on being a woman…
Unfairly Blessed!
2017 has been jam-packed with miracles for my family so far! I can’t be exhaustive in this post but God deserves praise for all He has been doing for us so I must, at least, list some of the great things He has been doing. Baby Incoming: We begun this year with the good news …
on becoming a Mom
tomorrow will be my first Mothers’ Day as a Mom… I’m excited to celebrate it because becoming a mother is the single most challenging and rewarding experience I have ever had! I was never that girl or woman who just wanted to have babies it was actually through a logical reasoning process that I came …
2 months in
Our son turns 2 months old tomorrow! We praise the Lord for keeping him happy and healthy. We are so blessed! Becoming a parent has been an experience quite unlike anything else I’ve experienced thus far. I really can’t even think of what I could liken it to. Our son’s only been in the world …
He’s Here!
The very next day, he arrived! That is, our son, Leonardo Ittai Hlatywayo Daco, was born on February 1st. He’s 4 weeks old today at 7.02pm. Maybe it’s because I carried him in my womb for roughly 40 weeks before he entered the world, but I feel like he’s always been a part of my …
no charge
Perhaps it’s because I live in the northern part of the US, but, it’s a little embarrassing to admit that I listened to country music growing up. No-one around here grew up on country, especially not the old school stuff like Don Williams…and would you believe I was disappointed with Whitney Houston’s rendition of “I will …
when miracles grow common
I grew up with the stories of the exodus and God’s miraculous provision for His people on their travels from Egypt to Canaan. And it always baffled me how anyone could ever complain about receiving bread from heaven everyday! Surely if my Mom were serving bread from heaven everyday I wouldn’t complain – I thought. Instead, …
girls’ school…women’s college…who cares?
Yes, I was indoctrinated while at Wellesley that ours was not a girls’ school. It was a women’s college! But who cares, right? Ya, It’s pretty much communicating the same message of an academic institution for females; but it does so in a diminutive manner! Uha, I understand that you don’t mean to communicate disrespect, but …
wait, who’s older?
Over the past few years I’ve met women who have challenged my long-held conviction that when it comes to marriage, the man must always be older than the woman. No, he couldn’t even be a day younger! This belief did not evolve in a vacuum. Rather, it was seeded by lectures during Sabbath afternoon youth …
rejecting the cows
There was a time when I was willing to relinquish my cultural heritage to adopt my husband’s so that our children would be raised solely as a part of his culture. There was a time when doing that made complete sense to me and I would have done it in a heartbeat – not for …
