Sorry guys,I intended to share a link. It was a couple and friends and I being interviewed on that Kony 2012 issue. Anyways,I'm no techy but its time to upgrade. So,you'll be seeing it soon. X

On another note. I want you to enjoy this pic. Love it! Can't wait to wear my boots this weekend- A couple of pals plan on showing me the finer things in my own town and am up for the challenge-inhale! exhale!-leggo





Kony 2012

 Look what I came across on Worldviews Project




As many of you know a film has been widely circulating on Youtube and through social media called Kony 2012 while I have been here in Uganda.  I wanted to respond to the film and to provide some tools and resources to others who would like to understand the multiple perspectives involved in such a complex issue.  These two films will hopefully help to shed some light on what my experience has been here in Uganda and what Ugandans think about the film.  Please don’t just take my word for it, I have included below some other links you should check out, including the link to the original movie that spurred all of this discussion.  Looking forward to hearing back from all of you!

Know who you really Are

Know who you really are through the eyes of Understanding...and when only you can understand it...stand up

If no one else is standing up..you stand up ...if you know that you are right...stand up


I bet you will understand it better when all you have to do is stand up for yourself. Hehe...

Wishing you Peace and Love

Know Who you are!

It takes Courage to become who you really are!

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us is valuable,worth listening to,worthy of our touch,sacred to our touch.

When you begin to believe...you can risk curiosity,wonder,spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit!

After a series of heartaches and mistakes, I gave my heart to the Ocean...the beauty of its roar,the flow and amazing site as she quickly kisses my feet and I smile back as if to say...Marahaba!
Then she teases me and goes back and forth... After a series of heartaches and mistakes, I discovered that they should all go...go go far far away,with the wind...that same wind that brings the water current toward me.
Isn't that amazing to find love through the heartache? Amazing...
Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to be a better lover,mother,sister or friend.
And tonight,when I go to sit at the rocks,I'll double smile at the wind...for taking away the heartache and bringing me peace through water....your life is a sacred journey...

Revamped!

Hey lovers ,beautiful people...

Hope you all had a fab weekend and squeezing the little time that is left of it.
I did find time to revamp this weekend. Had a hair cut! Loved Max my stylists touch. Feels goooood!
Now I have shorter hair and a brighter smile...yaaaay. Oh! I even went out for a few minutes(which is a lot for an agoraphobic)

As we are concentrating on Redesigning our bodies and minds, I am helping friends out to redo their wardrobes and also old clothes. You don't have to spend a fortune to look good you know.

So,here is my look...my revamped sarong. There are 101 ways in which you can do this. Now is the time to take out your old clothes and make them new!

Well, this revamp idea comes in time for our eco look. Join us in Addis in April as we close the theme at the Hub Of Africa fashion week. Bring your revamp to the show.

Wishing you peace and love,
Esi

Insooooo....what!


Insomniac

There are some nights when

Sleep Plays Coy,

aloof and disdainful.

And all the wiles

that I employ to win

its service to my side

are useless as wounded pride,

and much more Painful.
