Unplugged

Hello everyone, I know that it has been a few months since my last blog post, my apologies for that. Have you ever looked around your living space and realize you need to make changes?

I have spent so much time over the past few years, trying to launch my writing career, that has by the way- still failed to launch. I was spending all of my free time, taking writing classes and writing and I was ignoring my surroundings.

I decided the only way to achieve my goals, is to unplug from the internet, through the summer. Over the past month, I have painted my living room, dining room and my hallway. I needed to brighten and freshen up my living space, to help inspire me and to keep me going.

I went with a light lavender for my main paint color and I'm changing out my curtains and making them all white. I decided to go for a Zen feel and so far, I'm loving it. I still have some trim work to do and my project will be complete.

I want to surround myself in colors that make me feel happy and inspired, so I turned to Feng Shui for help. There are so many books and web sights that offer great tips for decorating your space. It's all in what colors make you feel happy and enhance your mood and creativity.

I'm as guilty as the next person, when it comes to being to focused and trying to hard, to achieve success, that I ignore things that drive me crazy around the house. It's unbelievable, how fast things accumulate and pile up.

As I continue tackling my goals and my work out goals. I'm trying to teach myself how to find balance, instead of trying to do everything at once. I have been battling the procrastination of doing a final rewrite on my Screenplay for too long. I have my goal set to have it completed and ready to pitch by Labor day.

There for I will only be posting a post to this Blog once a month, so I can achieve my goals and not lose sight of what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm sure that you can all relate to this, you get home from work and say "I will only check my email".

Before you know it, you have talked to five friends on facebook, surfed the web, caught up on what's trending, checked your email and four hours have passed by. I was doing this to often, so I decided to unplug myself from the internet and plug myself back into my life.

I hope that you are all having a great Summer and are making it a goal to get out and have some fun. How would your life change, if you were to take the rest of the Summer off, unplugged from the internet? What could you accomplish for yourself?

I do have so much to share with you. I took a trip along the Oregon coast and I can't wait to show you pictures and share my experience. Everyone have a great Summer! See you next month.

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...
