5 Things To Do Before Summer Ends

As summer winds to an end, remember that it isn't over yet. There are still things that you can get out and do before the weather turns cool. Live by the motto, to make the most of every minute and make every minute count. I am trying to remind myself of the things, that I will be wishing I would have done this summer. Here are my top five on my list.

  1. Wake up early, go sit outside, drink coffee and watch the sunrise.
  2. Go to a lake, jump in and take a swim. 
  3. Grab a blanket and a bottle of wine and watch the sunset.
  4. Go hiking, ride a bike or do any outdoor activity that you won't do in the winter.
  5. Visit a State Park
Some of the most simple things in life you can do alone, though it is more romantic, when you watch a sunset or rise with another person. I think the most important thing is, that we take those few moments to take it all in, for all we are surrounded with.

I enjoy watching the sunrise alone, the quiet time gives me a few moments to meditate or re-group. It helps me to stay balanced and keep my thoughts in order and helps me to stay focused on my goals. I try not to dwell on being alone and do as much as I can of the little things, summer has to offer.

Make a list of the things you love about summer and decide what you will get done before summer is over. each time that you accomplish one of them things, then cross it off your list. If your list is complete and you still have some summer left, then start a new list. Remember you can simply repeat the first list, as long as you make the most of it and make each moment count. 

Everyone- Enjoy The Rest of your Summer!

The Women and Girls of Kenya: Part 5

As I conclude sharing with you, what I have learned about the women and girls of Kenya, I am going to share more detail, about the Malkia Foundation. I already introduced you to Phionah Musumba, the Founder and Executive Director. Though the Malkia Foundation has excepted many donations of different kinds, Phionah is looking for a partner or a financial investor, to help the foundation succeed. The ideal candidate, is someone that wants their presence to be felt in Africa, someone with heart and financial resources, to make a difference. The core value of the Malkia Foundation, is to help empower the young girls and women of Kenya, through education and job skills, for economic and enterprise development. Here are just five ways, that a difference is already being made. The Malkia Foundation is working with the YWCA and the Girls Scouts of America, in Austin Texas. The YWCA has donated Computers and supplies for the Vocational College and the Girl Scouts, are starting a center ...

The Little Things

Life takes us down many roads as we chase after our dreams, we often take for granted the beauty of what we are surrounded with. When we consume ourselves chasing after our dreams, we often forget to stop and smell the flowers. The one thing that I have learned is to appreciate the priceless little things in life What I am talking about are the things that are priceless, that money can't buy. Such as a beautiful sunset over the ocean. The feel of the sand between our toes. The way the sun feels on your skin, when it is shining on you, on a perfect day. The smell of flowers in the air, when they blossom in the Spring. As a parent, you learn that when you don't have money to provide for your children the way you had hoped, you learn to appreciate the little things of being a parent. The feeling you get the first time you look into your babies eyes. The sound of the first time they laugh. The smile on a child's face, when they see a toy and they get a gleam in their eyes....

The Women and Girls of Kenya: Part 3

As a woman, I believe that every woman should be able to embrace, being a woman. We should be able to be comfortable in our own skin and we should not have to compromise our femininity. We should be able to 'own' being a woman. For many woman and young girls of Kenya, embracing being a woman, isn't always the option. In some villages, woman have to feel that having a menstrual cycle each month, is a shame. Many young girls in Kenya, are missing out on going to school, because of having a period each month. We live in a society that is built off of modern technology and never have to think of feminine products and sanitary napkins as a luxury in life. We are fortunate enough, that our government had no desire, to control how woman survive their period each month. Life for the young girls and women in Kenya, is not as simplified. Sanitary napkins are available, at a high price and not all have the money to buy them. In the village's where poverty has no ending, you...
