Happy New Year and A Prosperous 2015
Happy New Year to everyone. I have been missing in action and I sincerely miss blogging and being part of the social network.

Child Nutrition; finger food for children (Masa)

Today I join millions of advocates to say to domestic violence. It is absurd and appalling that millions of women suffer violence every day. Women are beaten, raped, slaughtered like animals, called all sorts of names, suffer injustice and the world keeps moving…..how?She has the same chance to succeed as you and you let her…

ANCIENT AND MODERN SUNDAY SPECIAL
This morning, I found myself humming to the tune of this hymn and only then did I realize that it is not just a song but a very inspiring and ‘healing’ hymn. The words tell me who we are and not who we want to be….celebrity, whitenicious, president, Forbes richest, Billionaire heir/heiress…….God promised us that…
