President Sirleaf’s Ambition for Liberia: Aid-Free in a Decade

Liberia’s President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf—the first elected female head of state in Africa— spoke at an event hosted by CGD. President Sirleaf set a hugely ambitious goal of being aid-free within ten years. Gives me so much hope for Liberia and other countries in the fatherland.

What do I of Holy?

Love your God with all your heart, mind and soul.

Really. What do of Him who brought me into existence? How do I love Him who has loved with a perfect love? Not as man loves..but a holy pure love. What do I even know about the slightest hint of Him? The God who gave life it's name.. What do know of Him who is Holy?

Musicka - Natalie Grant

This is why you should exercise

Everything is amazing, nobody is happy!

This is so true! (And funny as well!) 

Musicka - Aradhna

From time to time I'll post new music that I have discovered...or am currently listening to..

I don't know what it is about music that overcomes me but I often find myself enamored by one or two songs and listen to them over and over again. Music is often for me more of a spiritual and emotional thing than anything else. (Unless it's any genre of dance music - which is more of a shaking-my-booty thing!) Years later, if I hear a song or listen to an older CD, the emotions of the time-period within which I listened to that song often washes over me afresh. It's amazing how the human mind associates memories with sensory experiences tied to sound, smell, sight etc. 

Currently listening to Aradhna's Amrit Vani. This group blends music from the east and west to create beautiful Indian bhajans (devotional songs). I grew up listening to bhajans played by my grandmother and mother in the morning as they prepared for the day ahead. This along with the fact that Aradhna so eloquently sing those bhajans to my Lord and captures exactly what I want to say, has me enamored. Captivated by so many songs on their albums. Particularly Man Mera perfectly describes the state of my mind right now.
