How to make the world a better place for ourselves and our children
Making the world a better place doesn’t even have to involve partitions, protests or punches
The New School.
“Sometimes people feel so bad about themselves that the only way they can feel good is by putting others down and hurting them.”
The New School
Aisha knew better than to disrespect elders even when they were as annoying as their old neighbor. But she would not know how to stand up for herself even if she was a child without good manners.
She always wished that she was brave like they were; they spoke their minds and were not afraid to disagree with others.
Just A Random Day In My Part of The World.
These days I deliberately seek out and choose to see shop signs, car bumper stickers or even Tshirts with positive messages. I choose to see gestures of kindness from strangers, even brave plants struggling to grow on cracks in the concrete.
Special People Have Human Needs
It left this Mombasa Mommy’s family to ponder if one of us had trouble for the long term with mobility or vision or hearing how we would live day to day. Because we wouldn’t just want to survive- we would want to thrive.

Wellbeing: Stupid Things We Do That Threaten Ours
In the likelihood of you being right about something like telling your loved one that if he keeps smoking he will eventually kill himself, chances are high that he still won’t listen.
It is his decision and his choice.
Make Peace With The Life You Have
It isn’t easy accepting that some of your goals, dreams, your fondest desires may never come true -never mind all the ‘don’t quit’ crap.
Today I Choose To Be Unproductive
Because this guilt that eats at us if we are not constantly on ‘go-go” mode can’t be healthy.
This self reproach because all we did today was tidy up and read a book cannot be conducive to a healthy mind.
