Hello, hello, hello! Anybody there? I haven't blogged for a while, and won't be posting as often as I used to but I thought I could do snap shots of the activities and recipes every now and then when I get a chance during my busy schedule. I've been on contract to finish my new manuscript in the next several months, I am excited beyond words to be working with an amazing publisher for this book. Where do I start? I hope you have been "FLYING LIKE AN HELICOPTER" lol. Okay so I have amazing musical children who come up with songs and melodies to die for. Nina, 10, has been composing a lot lately and so my son, 2, who has been watching her, decides he wants to be a songwriter too; we are all in bed one night when he stares at the ceiling fan and goes "I'm flying like an helicopter, helicopter, helicopter, flying high, high, high". Nina and I took those lines and ran with it, the melody and lyrics are so beautiful we decided to write a song, someday, maybe, you will hear it on Nina's album.
The summer has been busy and event-FULL. Hope and pray you all have been healthy and productive. Here are a few random pictures from the JOY-filled whirlwind.

You are everything of me That was stolen when I was a little girl your age; Opinionated, assertive, extroverted, bold, confident, bubbly, happy... I remember looking at you for the first time and thinking "My God! What a beautiful child, is she really mine?" And then when at 3yrs old, you started to tell me stories of you and #God, that was when I knew, ANGEL of mine, That you left #heaven especially to be by my side. © 2013 by Bernice Angoh Happy 10th Birthday my #babygirl❤ |

❤ My Love ❤
Out of the ashes of my life You've created glitters for my crown
From the litter of my broken heart(s) You've painted me a masterful mosaic
with You to lose is to gain
to surrender is to win
A love that I, the poet, the word-weaver, cannot explain
consumed and on FIRE
so overwhelmed that the weight of it all throws me to my knees
and only on my knees do I ever find these words to be true
only on my knees do these words ever find an escape
"I Love You"-- my Lord, my God, my All
