A VIRTOUS LOVE STORY

Once upon a time, there was an island where all
the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness,
Knowledge, and all the others, including Love. One
day it was announced to the feelings that the
island would sink, so all repaired their boats and
left.
Love wanted to persevere until the last possible
moment. When the island was almost sinking,
Love decided to ask for help. Richness was
passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said
“Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness
answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of silver in
my boat. There is no place here for you.”
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing
by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!”
“I can’t help you Love. You are all wet and might
damage my boat,” Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help,
“Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh….Love, I am
so sad that I need to be by myself.”
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so
happy that she did not even hear when Love
called her!
Suddenly there was a voice, “Come Love, I will
take you.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed
and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder
his name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder
went his own way.
Love realizing how much he owed the elder,
asked Knowledge, another elder. “Who helped
me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered.
“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help
me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and
answered, “Because, only Time is capable of
understanding how great Love is.”

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mr. Riley was already there when they arrived, sitting on the sand, eyes closed in a deep meditation. He was shirtless, wearing camouflage-patterned shorts similar to the ones The Spellbinder styled the day he appeared on the beach and a pair of rubber diving booties with smiley face emojis scattered over them. You would have been more than amused if you saw him in them. An assistant rushed out of the billionaire’s home the instant he raised a hand toward the heavens, displaying the universal victory sign. Three crisp pages of paper were effic...

THE CROWN YOU CARRY: A Letter to My LOVELY Daughter FROM THE HEART OF A MOTHER

My Dearest Daughter, As the sun rises over the hills of Limuru, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed tea leaves, my heart swells with pride, hope, and the wisdom only a mother can carry. You, my beautiful girl, are in school, and while the world sees a student in uniform, I see a queen in the making. I see the grace of your grandmother, the fire of your ancestors, and the promise of a bright African dawn glowing in your eyes. This Easter, God granted me the sweet joy of bonding with you—not just as a mother—but as a woman who has walked a little further on this winding road of life. You may not know it yet, but in those laughter-filled mornings and quiet evening chats, a legacy was passed on: not of gold or silver, but of values, vision, and virtue. Let me speak to your soul now, daughter of mine. Listen with your spirit. In this life, my sweet child, “a child who does not listen to the mother’s advice will sleep with the flies” — a Ghanaian proverb as old as wisdom itself. The worl...
