I woke up greeting the one who greeted me on a special day when he was pleased when my existence came to be.
A new life full of immense beauty, since he created me in his image at no price.
This bestowed me value among his creation because he created me in his beautiful image.

His presence is so exhilarating! When I get up in the morning and open my eyes, joy fills my heart when praising his name.
Greeting you, the highest and most praise-worthy one.
The one who is worthy of our praise, admiration, worship, and adoration!
Your mighty, it pleases me to...

Ndamutse ndamutsa uwandamukije
Kumunsi utagira uko usa ubwo uwandemye

Nutongore kuko arimwebwe mwabishatse ...

I am talking about that longing for a loved one who has passed on from this life.

How much I long to hear your voice calling my name,
seeing...

Hunger, famine, and malnutrition are affecting vulnerable children, knowing that it is happening around the world boils my inside because I know how it feels like. Now that I am a grown-up, an adult they say, what should I do about it?

Knowing that there is a lack of basic education to the curious millions of minds of children, who are thirsty for knowledge drives my soul into the abyss of helplessness because I was once one of them. Now that I had the privilege to pursue and attain a terminal academic degree, and been taught and mentored by the best teachers, what can I do to help...

Before my morning caffeine fix, I am a walking zombie.

On days that I have free time in the morning,
that magical time for you to do that thing that set your soul on fire.
I brew a fresh coffee at home using a French Press.

Brewing a fresh coffee at home using a French Press has become so therapeutic to me.
A strong and dark 100% Arabica roasted ground coffee has found its way to my palates, and my taste buds keep wanting more of it ever since.

Oh, that aroma …
That aromatic smell fills my lungs and
brings me back to life from...
