I am a Zambian woman chronicling her life so far and dreams going forward. I have been involved in Prison Ministry since 1990 and hope to find something else in the community that I can be passionate about.
Stay-at-Home-Moms are people to be saluted – not because they do anything other mothers don’t do full time, but because they chose to relinquish an income in favour of taking of their children full time. Working moms do no less, but I just want to talk about SAHM and money issues today. The same issues [...]
There are times when we look at our lives and we ask ourselves “What happened to me? Where did I miss it?” You look at your friends and it feels as if they are way ahead of you. It seems as if the choices you thought were good at one time have ended up just holding you [...]
There are so many differences in the way different peoples view food, beauty, culture and countless other things. The two things I want to mention today are weight and skin color. In my culture, and by this I mean the undiluted culture, a fat woman is usually considered more beautiful than a skinny one. A woman with big legs, a sizeable [...]
I have been a very active Church member since my youth, like I have mentioned before. As a result, most of my friends were people I had met within church circles. One of them was Jane and we were quite close. Jane used to be a maid but lost her job one time. She said it [...]
This is a picture I took yesterday of the Votivkirche here in Vienna, Austria. It looks strikingly like the more famous Stephensdom, also in Vienna. I saw Votivkirche from afar about a month ago when I was taking a walk. I mistakenly thought it was Stephensdom and was surprised because the latter is quite far [...]
I went on a day cruise to Spitz with friends yesterday and saw this breathtaking view of a hillside vineyard. It was just beautiful. I look forward to visiting again when there are grapes on the vines.
Having friends is one of the greatest things in life. There are people who are never strangers – even in a new place where they know noone. They just fit right in and make friends immediately. Then there are those like me, who get to a new place and really feel like strangers and can [...]
I had a great time yesterday with a group of friends. We took the 12:00 pm train to Krems where we got off. The main aim for our trip was to see the apricot blossoms which I hear are beautiful. Unfortunately, we were too early and there were only a few. The team plans to go [...]
I have seen quite a bit of graffiti here in Vienna by the Danube Canal. I find it quite interesting but have only seen it from the U-Bahn (train that mostly runs underground) so it was nice to finally see it up close and personal when I went for a walk by the Canal yesterday. Below are some of the photos [...]
Don’t we all sometimes feel like our friend has a nicer house, more stable love life and that everything about her is better than the good things we have? We may not try to keep up with our more blessed or luckier friend, but we still have the feeling that we are not doing as well. I have [...]
