Reminisce!

I just watched a video clip on FB that took me down memory lane. Aurie Styla ponders whether old school dancehall is much better than new dancehall. He breaks into a musical-mime-break and for a minute and a second, as he goes through the playlist below, I am transported back to Nairobi when we were so young. When we danced our hearts out! I agree with him, old school dancehall. Anytime. Always.

Book Dreaming

2018/09/16 by mkhana

Books. I miss them. Mine are all piled up in a bin from our cross country move and I can’t wait to unpack them all. I am looking forward to either building my own bookshelf (Pinterest and YouTube University really instill a ton of false confidence when it comes to woodworking or DIY) or finding a good used one somewhere.

My dream is to have a full wall lined with bookshelves and filled with books. I can sit back in my favorite wingback chair, drink in hand (or milk chocolate bar, whatever works) and take some time to decide and pick my book of the day.

And then sometimes that dream turns into a picture of my cozy bathtub where I can soak in a claw tub with my book of choice, candles all around and soft reggae piping through from somewhere, rigged by someone. Notice I didn’t say that would be a DIY project? I know my limits.

Dreams are important to have. Here’s to mine. And having them all come true soon enough!

who remind you that God’s plan beats whatever turmoil you

are going through at any given moment, manmade or otherwise;

friends who bring a perspective that throws all into focus,

and you suddenly find your North again, Continue reading →

God. On Time. Always.

1 Corinthians 1:27 – 29

A friend of mine mentioned the bible today. And I loved this little church that Austin and I were introduced to in Greenville, South Carolina. I found their online portal, hopped on and this is right on point. Right on time.
