Saved by the Village
Saved by the Village Am sitting at the bar having a drink with my uncle when a black sports car comes into the parking lot, the driver looks aggravated and asks for the manager to the fine establishment who’s a friend to my uncle. They get into some sort of argument and the driver gets back into the sports car and speeds off. My uncle calls the manager and asks what’s up with the guy, and the manager explains that the young man wanted a special designated spot with a security guard to keep off people from touching his car and messing up the polish. So the manager told him that he couldn’t have bought such a pretty car coz people will want to touch, take pictures and hell, even steal it and that’s why he got mad and took off. We laugh it off and my uncle asks us if we want to hear a crazy story, and this is how it goes.

Angel Numbers Are Real. Content Warning.
Growing up in the small town of Jackson, Tennessee, shaped my upbringing in profound ways. The cornerstone of my childhood was my mother, a devout born-again Christian, who instilled in us the importance of faith. Church became an integral part of our lives, even though my siblings and I didn't always feel ready for the lessons that awaited us.

Finding Time for Fitness
It's hard to find the time to do anything for yourself as a parent, you always want to be there and support your kids in all the activities and events. Because of that, it is hard to find the 1 to 2 hours to go to the gym or a class. Now, several of the points I will list will depend on what kind of work you have and what training you are after, but even if you can only get a couple of push-ups in during the soccer practice, that is better than sitting on the camping chair and not doing anything.

The Trenches
In the depths of my memory, I recall the day when ruthless Kuramojang raiders attacked our simple home,a Maasai manyatta(a type of settlement or homestead)throwing the peaceful village of Lenges into turmoil. At that time, I, a young girl with a curious mind, was about to start formal education, a journey not yet fully explored. My excitement of joining nursery school was fueled by the ability to count and converse with my mother and siblings. Little did I know, in those days gone by, the strange requirement for admission was a gesture – one’s right hand must touch the left ear over the head, a peculiar test to determine readiness for the nursery school world.

Christmas with the Family
I am 49 years old, I live alone. My pets keep me company in a house my parents bought for us to live in God Bless them. They bought me this house after I got my divorce. I remember how Christmas was at home and through out the years living there. I had no worries, my parents took care of everything for me and my brother and sister.
