Before You Utter Another Complain Today, Read This!

Imagine a time in your life when you've been so desperate for change that you could have done anything--things you weren't proud of--just to make it through

Imagine going many days and weeks without food, without shelter, without clean water

Imagine being raped by someone you know and then shunned when you dare to speak up

Imagine being born with a target on your back just because you fall under a particular gender--female

Have you ever been called a failure, a loser, a good-for-nothing, useless?

Have you ever lost all hope and found yourself almost on the verge of suicide?

Every second, somewhere around the world, there is a girl or a woman being paralyzed by violence, hunger, poverty, illiteracy and judgement.

According to Amnesty International, 1 in 3 women will experience violence in her life time.

Women Thrive Worldwide emphasizes that ANY abuse or violence against women is too many.


Life as a woman doesn't have to be so hard, yet it is for most of the girls in several under privileged communities.

One of the many examples where you can find such communities is in Cameroon, West Africa.

We Can Change This Picture:

With the last population percentage of women in Cameroon measured at 50.02 in 2012 and a healthy life expectancy of 45, Cameroon now holds an unemployment rate of 30% and an estimated 48% living below the poverty line.

A whooping 7 out of 10 young people are under employed with the majority of them being women.

It is disappointing to know that 55% of the poor in Cameroon live in rural areas with half of these being women under the age of 15.

You Can Help Make a Difference:

A woman is the cornerstone of her community. She is mother of all. A pillar and the backbone of society.

A woman can incite change like no other. Investing in the life of a girl is where it all begins.

But all these changes begin with a seed, a seed of empowerment: Giving girls back their dignity, raising them with skills and confidence to plow their own way through life.



It Starts With Just ONE GIRL:

For girls like Matilda Neuni, Ahani Petra and Getrude Naluwe, life was bleak until hope arrived in the form of a caring STRANGER who knew their story so very well. Irene Mangem of Emerge With Irene, is a Cameroonian philanthropist whose sole mission and purpose is to give abused and rejected girls a second chance in life.




WOMEN MATTER:

The fight in one woman is unparalleled to the fight in an army of men.

The storm in the right girl is bigger than the greatest tsunami in the Ring of fire.


BUT IT TAKES SOMEONE LIKE YOU:

In each of these stories, which you may or may not have experienced, you will see a reflection of yourself.

It is not as distant a reality as you may think if you just imagined "What if that were me?"

One woman's fight is every woman's fight.

And the victory of a single girl is a victory not only for every woman but an entire human race.

❤ CHRIS's HART DESIRE.e "BACHELORETTE" ❤

CHRIS's HART DESIRE.e

He came a long way
from a place called Oregon
She, she was just a sweet girl
whose heart could use a little tarragon
to spice up the chase, whisk some embraces
they never knew, they never saw what we saw watching them
she, with her open HART
he, with his chocolate lines
Though masked by tears and shadowed with disappointments
she decided to FALL  FORWARD
for behind the scenes as she read the passages in her Bible
God himself chose to remind her in such a beautiful way
that your heart can plan all it wants but it's always God's will and purpose than wins
I'm certain  her HART, now full, sings songs without words
for this man she loves has a gift he'll forever now call
his HART's DESIRE.e

Love this dress, is it for real?



Desiree Hartsock aka Chris's hart desire.e

If I had been betting for the winners of every 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' season, I sincerely will be a multimillionaire today. My friends and colleagues hate that I am always right, and I just don't guess right when there are only two contestants left, I usually can tell on the second time the show airs in its season. I am not a match maker, even though I did introduce two people over two decades ago and they are still together and have children now (it was just a stroke of luck, I guess). anyway, this is a first, I never blog about things like this but  this couple, I really, really like!




Anyway, if you are not familiar with the Bachelor or Bachelorette, it is a franchise that started many years ago with a goal of matching a Bachelor or a Bachelorette with  potential mates. Usually the Bachelorette has 25 men introduced to from the start. She starts to get to know each one of them and eliminates contestants until she is down to the final four. The Final four get to take her to see their family. Then she gets to take the final two to meet her family. If all goes well and feelings are mutual with the last man she picks she may or may not get a proposal. This all takes place within a time frame of three months during which they venture to the most beautiful parts of the world, a whirlwind of sorts, unrealistic? maybe, but it is good to know that  three marriages have come out of this and all still going strong with a few of them having babies. Trista (the very first Bachelorette) has been married to her firefighter hunk, Ryan, for over nine years now, they have two beautiful children.

This season's Desiree captured our hearts from her season with Sean (the Bachelor), I think maybe because she carried the hunger that most women want and need; a great companion who can love them like they've never been loved before. Desiree is a  gorgeous bridal stylist with an infectious smile, very humble, extremely sweet and a big dreamer, hmm, that sounds like yours truly, lol, she is also very creative and very smart. The very first day her season began I tweeted about my three favorites for her, they were Drew, Chris and Robert. Drew tugged at my heart with his story during his introduction and it didn't help that he was drop dead gorgeous.

Chris was the one who got down on one knee to tie his shoes, now Chris is extremely handsome as well, tall, dark with piercing eyes.

Chris is a pro baseball player turned mortgage broker

Phew! hmm Chris, I meant to write


Well, two of my first picks Drew and Chris were part of the final three, not bad huh?


Desiree, too cute

Happy to say she ended up with Chris with whom she'd been writing poetry with all season. Their dates were richer and more at ease, seemed like everything just flowed. Their proposal was one of the best proposals in both Bachelor and Bachelorette history.






Gorgeous looking couple

Three months after the show was over :) 
oh, btw, I woke up yesterday to find out that Matt White is following me on twitter, yes, The Matt White who wrote the awesome song above, I was tickled pink <3 br="" nbsp="">
follow me on twitter


I wish Chris and Desiree all the best, never has a Bachelorette been so loved and I think and hope and pray that all the positive energy from those who support them overrides the negative, after all, all good things come from above, right Desiree?

I dedicate this song I wrote to both of you on your wedding day:

Let us Remember


As I look into your eyes
I remember how we first came to be
oh the memories, memories, memories
Sing of melodies, marvelous melodies
you met me and I saw you


Everywhere you go
Let me go with you
everything you see dear
let me see with your eyes
Everything you do my love
let me do it with the heart of you

When this cold world comes between us two
let’s remember to feel what we feel today
I’m your woman, your lady, your only girl
You’re my darling, my one true love, this I swear 
We are two yet we are one

Everywhere you go love
Let me not stand in your way
Everything you see in me
Let me see what you see
And everything you do my dear
I will do it too
we will do this one together
We will do all things together.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!





























...and then there was a Mother's love like no other, an example that has never been copied: Mary's love for her son Jesus.


To think that she  knew how it would all end, that she will conceive by the Holy Spirit and not her husband and risk suffering shame and ridicule, to know that her precious child whom she would come to love was going to be a living sacrifice for a group of people (humans) who will one day forget what He did, to know the pain and suffering that was to come and still say yes, yes to God, yes to be the vessel through which all will come to be, to say yes to losing her son on a cross, to say yes to the fact that He will truly not be hers in this world but will one day leave her side to complete His divine mission...May her love be an example to us all who have been blessed to be called mothers, may we teach and guide, may we love and protect and may we also remember that these gifts (children) should be offered/dedicated back to the ONE who gave us them.
