FINDING 'NARNIA'

Our Tour guide, Ms. Nina

 Hello lovely people, how is your weekend going? Mine is going great. Had a very productive morning starting with a 40 minute run and then a big glass of raspberry smoothie.

RASPBERRY SMOOTHIE:

1 cup soy milk (vanilla flavored)
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 Tbsp flax seed oil
1/2 banana (optional)

Went out on a lunch date with Nina and then window shopping. It was on our way back home that we came across a little piece of heaven. We've now added it to one of our favorite places. We walked through the doors of this small store, or so we thought, and it was like going through the wardrobe and discovering Narnia! It was a splendid surprise indeed.

Good luck if you can read this from your computer...it is a great prayer though

Nina, very excited

 The owner told me that as Christmas nears the whole store will be filled with Christmas decor. I can't wait to go back and buy some plants.

BYE-BYE SWIMSUITS & SUMMER

My children: Nina & Ricky

I love my body much more now that I'm 33 and have 2 children than when I was 16 and 'perfect'
The light stretchmark on my right hip reminds me of my selfless body which carried two
My hips that expanded to their limits to help me give birth naturally
My slightly smaller breasts which gave through breastfeeding to protect and nourish
The light in my eyes which remind me I am fearless and unstoppable

The strength in my core which allows me to provide and uplift
My built thighs that allow me to carry what ever weight the world has to place upon my shoulder
The love in my heart that has multiplied, divided but never subtracted
My daughter thinks I am the most beautiful girl in the world
I could be every woman but even I know that I am not just any woman!

BE YOURSELF & SHINE--Nina Lakota

 I never imagined it would take me 33 years and two children to wear a bikini for the very first time in my life, never worn an actual swim suit either, was too shy, self-conscious, never felt good enough, felt flawed and less than perfect. I promised at the beginning of this year that I would wear a swim suit, so there. Funny how with age you get to be more comfortable in your own skin and learn not only to love yourself but to be in love with yourself flaws and all. I have not yet reached my ultimate fitness goals  so I'm excited about where I'll be 3 or 6 months from now. I probably will have more than one swimsuit but either way, I will keep you all posted. I will be more than happy to receive your photos with you in swim wear, just send it to berniceangoh@gmail.com with your age and how many children you have, don't forget to add why you love your body or yourself. Thanks in advance.

Uh, the dog can! What's stopping you from exercising?

This was one of my favorite fruit back home in Cameroon, loved it because it was sweet and love it even more now after knowing its nutritional benefits. I guess you can never go wrong with eating your fruits huh? I'm not sure what iT is called in other parts of the world but in Cameroon it is known as 'Sour-sop'. Will check some farmers markets to see if they have some.
