Inconveniences

On Friday morning, I went to a nearby salon to do a treatment and because I needed to braid my hair, I wanted to schedule an appointment for today Monday. A lady friend of mine called her colleague who does the braiding and we agreed on the pricing and booked an early appointment for this morning.I had made arrangements at the shop for someone to stand in for me this morning. I called before going to the salon and was told the lady was there and when I went she first looked at me like she has never seen me. I was 15minutes early and she had another client whom she was doing a manicure and pedicure. I know that would take another 40/50 minutes As I sat there, she came and started to explain that I should come back at 1p.m. because she had that particular client  and there was another on the way before she could get to me.

I was clearly not amused. I asked what was the purpose of  booking an advance appointment  if one was to come and be given stories and asked to reschedule. Thanks to my sister Emma, she gave me a contact at Kenyatta Market. I didn't even flinch, I just hopped into a matatu and went and thanked God that we have options.

So am back to the office,happy and content. May we learn to keep our word and when we can't lets be courteous enough to inform the other person in good time.

Have a warm week won't you?

I feel yah girl, some people have this tendency of just taking thins for granted and they think they can get away with it. Sorry about that, i hope your hair looks great now. she doesn't know, she has lost a customer and much more than that...

I totally agree but guess who I feel for..the owner of the salon. Having run one before, that kind of behaviour is very costly to the salon owner because with that kind of attitude do you think I will go back there again..I don't think so.

As for my hair looking great, I feel good about it and am awaiting my beloved's comment. Will keep you posted.Hugs

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm...

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Atrial Septal Defect

Atrial septal defect (ASD), is a heart condition that can affect kids. Normal Heart Function To understand an ASD, it helps to know how the heart works. The heart has four chambers. The lower chambers of the heart are called the ventricles: a left ventricle and a right ventricle. The upper chambers are the atria and there are two— a left atrium and a right atrium. You may already know that your heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout your body. In a person without a heart defect, blue blood that's low in oxygen flows first to the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, and is then pumped to the lungs to receive oxygen. The red oxygen-rich blood then returns to the left atrium, flows from there into the left ventricle, and heads out to the body through the aorta, a large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the smaller blood vessels in the body. Between the right and left atria is a wall called the septum that...
