Power of Love

Best Dog Ever

Anastasia “Annie”

She connected to us. Her intuition was beyond our understanding. As a pup she knew. Her beautiful and nurturing soul blessed our lives.

Her legacy and soul is threaded in our souls. Funny how a “dog” can be so purposeful and powerful in a family’s life. She was and still is.

Why Not Talk About Our Age

Everyone wonders and are often in fear of obtaining the answer because some tradition or cultures “says” you should never ask – THE question – of AGE.

It is no accident, our birth, or the date upon which we were born. Why not celebrate all that life’s journey has brought forth so far?! Why not reflect in gratitude of the lessons, experiences, love and blessings?!!!

Each day brings us 86,400 seconds! We should not fear them, rather savor those moments. So, on behalf of those of us who do not mind the passing years and changes that come with these passing days…CELEBRATE YOU! Happy Birthday to YOU! and me too!

Kasserian Ingera?

“Kasserian ingera, my friends…

“Among the tribes of Africa, few have warriors traditionally more fearsome or more cunning than the Masai of Kenya. It is perhaps surprising, then, to learn the traditional greeting among Masai warriors. One warrior would always say to another, “Kasserian Ingera,” which, in Swahili, means, “Are the children well?”

It is still the traditional greeting among the Masai, acknowledging the high value of the Masai for the well-being of children. Even modern Masai with no children of their own always give the traditional answer, “Sapati Ingera” or “All the children are well,” meaning, of course, that peace and safety prevail – that the priorities of protecting the young and powerless are in place, that Masai society has not forgotten its reason for being and its responsibilities.

Imagine a community that places the well being of its children first and in the forefront of every idea, innovation, policy, strategy and implementation of economic development! Imagine the difference in the levels of societal ills, and everyday approaches to our jobs and life!

“All the children are well” means that life is good. It means that the daily struggles of existence do not preclude proper care for the young. It means dignity for all!
