The Magic of Christmas

I have always been in love with Christmas, it's my favorite time of the year. Everything always seems so magical, from the Winter snow, to feeling the love in the air.

It's  the time of the year, when people are more happy. Maybe because they are giving more and giving, makes us feel good. A time to help others, that may be faced with hard times, so they can have a Christmas also.

It all begins the day after Thanksgiving, when the shoppers go crazy, hunting for the best prices.
Conquering the retail madness, to full-fill the letters to Santa and make Christmas wishes come true.

Presents are wrapped, the Christmas Tree's go up and the spirit of the season emerges all around us. Taking the time, to sing a classic Christmas Carol, like Deck The Halls and Silent Night.

It's the simple little things that connect each thing to Christmas day. The little things, such as driving through town and seeing everything decorated and lit up.

It's sledding and hot Chocolate and the shrill of little voices, that warm our hearts, leading up to the night, when Santa arrives.

Watching our Children on Christmas morning, as they rip through presents and toss them aside, until they decide on a favorite one. The look in their eyes and the expressions on their faces, are priceless memories that we create.

It's a time for families and loved ones, to come together. Taking the time out of the craziness of life, to spend quality time together and reconnect.

It's a romantic season, because people are rekindling the flames, that may have been ignored. Love is celebrated and our hearts are filled with joy and happiness.

It's the time of the year, when traditions are honored or new ones are created. The time of the year, to remember and honor Jesus, after all, he is the reason for the season.

All it takes is for one person, to start spreading the magic of Christmas, I challenge you all, to walk outside and take it all in.  To simply say "Merry Christmas", to anyone that you come in contact with.  You will make someone else smile and see the how the magic of Christmas begins.

Everyone, have a Merry Christmas and a happy, holiday season!

Love,
Bobbie

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...
