Rato's birthday - Forever "21"

Rato celebrated her " Forever 21" birthday last night with some friends and family. It was a joyous occasion eventhough she was still recovering from her operation. It was great to see Barnabas and Bertha bringing their two sons with them eventhough it was a school day. The love and laughter was clearly in abundance and the Lord multiplied the food as there was plenty to go around.

Party hats, party horns was the order of the day and everyone joined in song and dance to celebrate an amazing soul with a beautiful serving attitude. It must be said that we had to sing Happy Birthday twice as Mpho (the 7 years old niece) had to go to bed early for school. 

And then there was special performances... Wow is all I can say (The next posts will have links to the videos of the performances). Barnabas and Bertha took centre stage and they led us in song. They had such harmony between each other that it felt like we were in concert. 

Eventhough Rato was in a bed clothes, that didn't stop anyone from showing her how much she's loved and appreciated. She means alot to so many people from London, USA, Southern Africa to Canada. 

May God bless you with many more!

From a privileged husband,

Such inner peace is the foundation of authentic behaviour that is not corrupted by compliance with fears, doubts and the corrupted opinion of others. The inner self is a world of self-discovery where the age old question is asked: Who am I? It is the world of seeking after the divine heritage that beats in our souls. The inner self is where we find the c...

My trip back to Europe in ONE word (Part 1/2) - Coronavirus

It was a normal working day on a hot and usually dusty afternoon in Yaounde when I got the call to come and collect my Visa for my upcoming trip to Italy. I was elated. It had been 17 years since I had last seen my foster aunts and cousins. I was beside myself.  I distinctly remember my trip back to wish my father goodbye and how emotional I was because I knew that somehow I will not see him for a long while. I remember the bus trip back to Yaounde and how surreal it all felt (especially since there was a job interview lined up in Munich).   Me on the bus (in the middle of nowhere) on my way back to Yaounde. Clearly I was too excited to sleep (like someone next to me). I was already missing my lovely Cameroon. On the news, the coronavirus (covid-19) was beginning to show its ugly head in Italy and various other neighbouring countries. My aunt even told me to postpone my trip, but it was too late. I was already packed. Don't mess with a black man and his luggage! Me, mysel...
