5 Things- To Do In Autumn

I always look forward to Autumn, it's one of my favorite seasons. The temperatures are always perfect and refreshing after the hot Summer weather. I always try to think of all the things I love to do, for every season, it reminds me of what I have to look forward to. One of the benefits of living in Montana; is having four seasons, though some joke that Hunting season and Fishing season are the only seasons that Montana has.

I always find it interesting, when people complain about the weather, each season has it's weather and purpose. I don't think of the negative things that I don't like, I remind myself of the positive things that I love. I put together a list of the 5 Things- I love to do in Autumn.  I challenge everyone, to make a list of 5 things they love, about something, anything and feel free to share on the comment section if you like, here's mine.

  1. Fall Harvest- The Farmers Markets are filling up, it's the best time to buy fresh produce and fruit, to freeze and use through winter.
  2. Jamming- I learned to make homemade Jam and this is the season to do it. 
  3. Leaves- Watching the leaves change colors, the sound of them crackling as you step on them later in the season, when they are dry and crisp.
  4. Cooler Temperatures- Perfect for watching sunsets or star gazing, get outside and enjoy the evening air. It is usually easier to sleep at night when it's not as hot, I love to snuggle down in my blankets.
  5. Octoberfest- Most breweries come out with an exclusive Octoberfest beer and a day to draw in a crowd. It's always fun to get out, try a pint and socialize. Remember, most of the beer is stronger than a regular domestic beer, you will feel it faster, so don't drink and drive.
I have learned, when you dwell over something you don't like to do, instead of focusing on what you do like, it makes life more frustrating. I always try to look forward to the positive side of things, so I'm not dwelling that Summer is over, I'm looking forward to what I love about Autumn. How is your list going now, do you have your 5 Things,  figured out yet?

Everyone Have a Great Week!

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...
