Gratitude...

I have a lot of time today...guys and gals...

But I have taken time off to say my gratifications for every good thing that has come my way.
See,sometimes we forget to say thank you for even the least that we receive.

My daughter reminded me of this today...she said.."Mom you forgot to say thank you" for something so little that I had just ignored. Now I know that we all ought to take time and be grateful for the little things that we receive...That is how the source of all things will trust us enough to grant us those big things that we so much desire.

Come to think of it. Its just like with the friends or work mates whom we chose to associate with. Being closer to them means that we trust and understand them enough to be around them. In the same way,the source will have to trust us in order to give himself/herself to us unconditionally.
This applies in terms of our roles in society,our ability to look after the underprivileged and the poor and so he will increase in our finances,increase in our social stands,increase in our every thing.

So today,just take a few minutes to say "Thank you" for all that you have...

In all things,give thanks...

Wishing you peace and love,

Chilling

My art and about moment is uneventful today...

Yesterday was my Birthday and I had a fab time with the people that I love.

Today,am taking time off to reflect and just be and think of the years that are past.

I know things might not have turned out exactly as I pictured my life to be...but here's to another year of trying and making them be.

Follow your dreams to the end!

With peace and love,
Esi

Beauty...

I had a chance to watch this beautiful wedding from my balcony at home.

It was so beautiful and amazing...This must have a been an army official getting married.

The ceremony of sword honor...the mess-like suits...gloves......the whole works.

I loved!

This was really amazing.

Wishing you peace and love.

Zawadi

Zawadi is Swahili for the gift.
I am so excited about the ventures that Zawadi Arts has this year.

This is my sister wearing one of our Zawadi creations. I like the way she blends the dress to fit her teen style.

I am so loving it.

Here are a few more images of Zawadi that you would love.

I love this dress. It can be worn formally at a high end event with high heels or at a casual gathering with sandals. You can hold a clutch bag or a casual one. Love it!

And this necklace? I so love making them.

Wishing you peace and love,
Esi
