WHERE WERE YOU, WHEN BROTHERS USED TO WRITE LETTERS WITH DICTIONARIES ??
If you never received letters like these, you know nothing




Dear Sugar


Time and ability plus double capacity has forced my pen to dance automatically on this benedicted sheet of paper. Why! this miraculous thing happened is because papie I love you spontaneously and as I stand horizontal to the wall and perpendicular to the ground I only think of you, since you are a fantastic and fabulous guy. papie please Stop haranguing with the feelings in my heart because I love you more than a snake loves rat. To me each day starts by thinking of you and ends by dreaming of you. Each time I see you my metabolism suddenly stops and my peristalsis goes in reverse gear My medular-oblangata also stops functioning.

Crazy crazy crazy you may say but this is true. If only you knew what is going on in my encephalon you would understand. That's why I need to see you face to face with you, soon. I think I have to pen-off hear because I still haven't finished studying electrolysis and polymerization. Catch you pa- later. Sleep tight and don't let those bed bugs ever bite you coz you are too sweet a thing for them.
Yourz Ever,





Sugar tapi tapi

Dear Honie


My Love, My Sugar, I was exasperated with pride to have received one from you, the lungs in my body flapped with joy when I have been reading your letter. Anyway by now you have reached the realisations to why I am jotting this small letter to you, yes it is to see if you are keeping with the sands of time.


How is everything on that other side of yours? Well here everything is just half lemon half sugar to make it Schweppes. How is your schooling? How are you pulling the wagons of life? I am just pulling the schooling thing like a donkey pulling a cart.






My honie, I am missing you very much right now, my heart is perambulating with every word that I write, if it was not for these oceans that decided to flow between us then I would get on the next bus to come and see you, but until then I know that I will not hesitate to put this blue blood on this paper and write to you.. I remember that day lovie, that one sweet day as Maria Curry sanged it, you know that it is my favourites song honie, the one day that we were boarding the combies and you escorted me to my home, walking with you just brought sweet dreams to me for the rest of my life honie.






If words of love could ride a bicycle I would be competing against marry carrie. Anyways, I will not stop you from reading the books that give you life and education so I will stop here for today.


Please always writing to me because I am missing you like sugar misses tea. You can see my foto above






My dedications to you are:










Maria Curry - One Sweet Day.






Boys to Main - And of the Rod






Keep well my mop of my heart, Yours in flesh and in blood, Ruise Sugar Baby






P.S. Sorry about my English, I did not learn anymore !!

IT and Management ...

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below.

He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am."


The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."


"You must be in Information Technology," said the balloonist.

"I am," replied the woman, "how did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."

The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

AFFORDABLE WEDDING IDEAS

Have you just gotten engaged and you are looking for affordable wedding ideas? A wedding is big business. Couples spend a lot of money (which they don’t even have) and start their marriage life in debt. What they probably don’t know is that they can do a great wedding on a low budget.
For starters make your own invitation cards instead of buying them from the stores. Find great designs for invitation cards from the internet, buy embossed papers and use them to make the invitation cards from your computer. You can even send some invitations electronically

For the flowers, purchase the ones in season, buy them in wholesale and arrange them with friends. Again, use the internet for great flower arrangements

Wedding cakes are very expensive. Instead of buying one, buy unique sheet cakes from the grocery store (different sizes for variety) and make the great designs with them.

If your wedding location is in a hall, use fabric to cover it from the ceiling, use light effects to add dramatic effects and the hall will look spectacular.

Every bride knows that she will pay a good fortune to get a superb wedding dress. I have seen some very beautiful, classy white evening dresses from boutiques. How about getting one of those and then getting a separate tail and veil to finish the bridal look. For the maids, who said they must wear identical dresses. All they have to do is get colours that match your wedding theme and each can get a different dress that flatters her body.
Use your imagination (which is free) instead of a wedding planner. Avoid wedding swindlers and get the lowest prices on every part of your wedding. It will be simple; it works, is stress free, and it will make planning your wedding fun.

How to Start a Business with little or no money

Many people think that capital is the biggest roadblock to starting a business. That is not true. Capital may be one of the roadblocks to starting a business but it is not the biggest roadblock. You can start a business with even no money only using your mind. You may, for example, envision owning a publishing house. Start by writing stories and features to the editor then become a free lance journalist, a newsletter producer and you will be on your way to your coveted publishing house. What about a dream to be an hotelier? You may start with food deliveries to offices, then to outside catering and eventually become an hotelier.

The following entrepreneurship steps will get you on the path to business prosperity no matter how much money you have right now.

Preparation

Remind yourself of the many reward of being self-employed then go ahead and prepare yourself for it. Motivate yourself with “nobody gets to be a millionaire working for another”. Observe role models, read success stories and find a mentor.

Ponder

Think about possible business ideas. What businesses fascinate you? What are your hobbies, interests? Can you turn them into business? Do a research on all the ideas at your disposal in terms of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Screen the business ideas and settle on one. The internet will be of help. Talk to your spouse, friends, and children. They will assist you settle on an idea.

Plan

First you must have a business idea. Armed with the idea you can then start planning about how to turn it into a business and earn profit. It also helps to have a business plan for the selected idea. Be proactive when doing a business plan, make sure you look at what the competitors are doing to see what you can do differently. When developing a business plan, you may realize that the idea is not possible to implement for various reasons including the needed funds to start it. You may therefore scale it down, postpone it or even abandon it all together and think of another one within your reach.

Plunge

Armed with a business plan you can now invest and start your business. And by the way it is not true that every business start-up needs money. It is the Chinese who say that a journey of a million miles starts with a first step. Even in business start from where you are – with what you have. A business is like a person. It can be born (started small) and grow into a big venture. Just like a person it can get old and die. You may have no money but you have your physical and mental strength. Start using them, do not leave them idle; do not channel them to illegal activities.

Persevere

Even when you are doing something you love, sometimes you can lose motivation and want to give up. Business management for prosperity is a game of perseverance and financial discipline. Profit has to be earned. When economists talk of break-even they mean that it takes time for an investor to recoup the initial invested amount and start earning a profit. Talent may get you so far, but only perseverance will get you there.

Profiteer

Eventually you will begin reaping what you sowed. Pay yourself, you have worked hard for that money and you deserve to enjoy it. So, depending on how much you have, you can buy the dress you always wanted, take a vacation, remodel your house, and upgrade your car. But make sure you garner the profit. Do not squander all your profit. If you feel that you cannot resist the urge, open a different account for the percentage of profit you wish to pay yourself with.

Plan again

Armed with profit, do a plan for growth, expansion, and diversification, whichever suits you. Plan to go international – and why not! Indeed planning is a continuous exercise. Some businesses have a plan of buying new stock, new equipment or diversification. Whatever it is your business needs, think of a growth strategy and plan for it.

Plough back

Reinvest the profits you have garnered. When economists talk of retained profits they mean that some profit has to be retained in the business for re-investment. Remember reinvesting is your road to business growth and financial freedom. If you want the gap between where you are now and your vision to be reduced, reinvest.

Persevere again

After re-investment you will need again to break even. This requires another game of perseverance and financial discipline. Do not get tired even when things don’t seem too promising. Just think of your vision.

Prosper

Enjoy your effort but do not become complacent. The only time you can decide to rest is if you have achieved financial freedom (your passive income exceeds your expenses.)You will know you have gained financial freedom if your business no longer needs your presence to operate.

The ten steps have a strong business message: business prosperity is not for the faint hearted and you do not need to have a million to make a million.

Thank you for the woman that I am

Lord, there have been times when I felt so different,

So weird, so unlike the people that I know.

It has taken me a while to figure out that,

I am different by Divine design.



I am different because you have made me

with gifts and traits and a genetic combination that no one else has.

No one in all the ages of the world has ever been me

and no one ever will..

So I can celebrate the fact that You have made each tiny part of me unique.



Deliver me, Father, from feeling weird.

Deliver me from ever wishing that I were someone else.

Deliver me from envy and jealousy of other people’s lives.



Help me to discover the wonder of the woman that You created me to be.

Help me to understand what a rare and precious treasure I am to you.

Help me to realise that I can give the world some things that no one else can give in the same way.



Thank You, Lord, for the awesome, creative work

You have done as You brought me into being.

Thank you, Lord that I am who I am and that I have this life,

to live for your purpose and your glory.

Thank you for giving me the chance in life

to live my life well and

to be proud of the woman that I am!

The three white enemies of weight loss and good health

In addition to eating a peak performance diet to achieve rapid weight loss and improved functioning, you should develop the habit of eliminating the “three white poisons” from your diet. This change in your diet is so simple and yet so powerful that every one who tries it achieves success in weight loss and good health
The three white poisons are salt, sugar and flour.

When you take in more salt than you require, your body has to compensate by retaining water to hold the salt in solution. This causes you to swell up and feel bloated. Not only that, too much salt can contribute to high blood pressure, fatigue, poor digestion, sleeplessness and nervous twitches, and a general feeling of tiredness throughout the day.

When you stop consuming foods that are heavy in salt, and stop putting salt on your meals, you will feel better immediately. The fact is that there is so much salt in the foods that you consume that you need no extra salt in your diet. If anything, you get too much salt without even trying.

• Eliminate All Sugars

The second white poison is anything that contains sugar of any kind. The excess consumption of sugar is so harmful for you that you can transform how you feel almost overnight by refusing to consume anything that has sugar in it. The average adult requires no extra sugar for adequate functioning and ideal health

Just by eliminating all products containing sugar and salt, your weight will drop almost immediately.

Develop the habit of eating foods composed of complex carbohydrates. A complex carbohydrate is contained in fruits, vegetables and whole grain products. These foods contain large amounts of energy, but they must be broken down in the digestive process for that energy to be available. These foods also contain large quantities of vitamins and minerals. In the process of digestion, these vitamins and minerals are released and freed up for your body.

On the other hand, simple carbohydrates, those made of sugar products, require no time to digest at all. They go straight into the blood stream. This is why you often get a “sugar rush” after consuming a sugar-based product, such as a donut or candy bar. What is worse is that your glucose or sugar level spikes just after you consume a sugar-based food or drink. When your blood sugar level spikes, your body immediately goes onto “emergency” status. It quickly secretes insulin into your system to remove the excess sugar. As a result, in one to two hours, you actually experience an “energy slump.” The excess insulin secreted by your body removes

so much sugar that you find yourself feeling fatigued and even light headed a couple of hours after consuming a sugar based food or drink.

• Avoid White Flour Products

The third white poison you must develop the habit of avoiding is anything that contains white flour. This includes breads, rolls, and pastries of all kinds, bagels and donuts. Carbohydrates such as potatoes, rice and pasta will also make you fat. Whole grain products are different. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals and first class proteins. They are exclusively complex carbohydrates. Not only do they satisfy your appetite in small quantities, but they also contain loads of nutrients that give you a feeling of satisfaction and lightness rather than feeling heavy and full.

The body is not very good at breaking down white flour products. When you eat them, they form a thick gluten that moves slowly through your digestive system, making you feel sleepy and causing constipation.

Another reason to avoid these foods is that the whiteness in a white flour product is achieved by first of all milling the wheat to a fine consistency and then removing most of the nutrients. What is left over is then bleached, which kills any nutrients remaining. What you end up with in a white flour product is essentially an “inert” food. It is actually dead.

The very act of eliminating white flour products from your diet will immediately cause you to lose weight, have more energy, feel lighter and give you greater stamina throughout the day.

As an exercise, you should look at the “contents list” on the labels of canned or packaged foods sold in your local supermarket. You will be amazed to find that most canned and fast foods are loaded with sugar and salt.

A letter from God

A letter From God!


By Mary Mumbi Maina



One day God was looking down

Down at Earth

And alas! he saw the evil

Evil on earth

That day he sent an angel

An angel down to Earth

The female angel went for sometime

For sometime down to earth

And when she came back

Back from earth



She told God,

"Yes it is bad on Earth,

95% is bad and 5% is good.

It is that bad on earth

Well, God thought

For a moment about the earth

And He said

"I will send another one to earth

And this time a male angel;

Will be sent back to earth

So I can get both points of view.

Of how bad it is on earth

So God called a male angel

And sent him for some time to Earth



When the male angel returned

Really disappointed about the earth

He went to God and told him

"Yes it’s a decline down there on earth

95% was bad and 5% was good."

Disappointed at the people on earth

God felt He had to do some Good

So He sent a letter to the 5% on earth

That were good and encourage them a little

To be strong when here on earth

Something to help them keep going.

Do you know what on earth

The letter that was written by God said?

To encourage the 5% on earth



Oh! You didn't get one either?
