Love yourself enough to not fear falling. The child wishes to walk for babies crawl and she isn't a baby anymore. As she tries to hold on to anything for support, she falls. She tries again this time ensuring she doesn't feel her legs wobble. She stands at attention and in that moment of victory... Continue Reading →
As I write this I currently have a running tummy, I hope this finds you better than me. Onwards nonetheless to this beautiful festive holiday created because Zambia turned 55. Independence at times, especially for us youths, is a party and we know the story as to why it's a party but most of us... Continue Reading →
