Broken


Most if the time, therapy for me, is putting the pen to paper. Have you ever tried taking a blank piece of paper and pen and just writing all of your thoughts and feeling down on paper? 

I find it to be the best therapy at times. If someone makes you happy, write down what it is that made you happy. If you feel angry about something, write down on a piece of paper who makes you angry and why. 

You can always burn it after reading or shred it, if you never want anyone to know what you wrote. It's all in releasing it, getting it out of your system and let it go. Keeping a daily journal is great therapy as well.

This week I was in a Poetry mood. As I was thinking of a phone conversation I had with a relative, going through marital problems, I was inspired to write this.  Here is a little poem that I wrote and I think many can relate to. 

Please be respectful and remember Copyright laws and Plagiarism laws. I own the copyrights to all of my work. I like to share my writing, I just hate getting screwed over. You all can relate to that, right?
This one I may need to work on a bit, but here it is. This one is for you, Joan. 

Broken

I can not be your version of me
For I am not the one who's broken
you want me to be broken just to fix me 
instead of fixing you
If I'm the one who's falling apart
you have someone to put back together
Look inside of you and you will find 
the pieces of you that are broken
Time will tell if we were meant to be
or simply two hearts that were broken
Someday you will see the person inside of me 
full of words that are outspoken
Maybe one day we will have a love that is strong 
and we will look back and say 
we are finally two people not broken

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...
