 Hello

Thank you for stopping by-I hope you will enjoy the short read.

It’s the first February blog post, 2016 is truly well under way, it got me thinking of what my dream is or I should say our dream as my 9 year old daughter, Lola is very much part of the creative process. She recently said to me, why don’t you write a book on what KIMI stands for? I thought that it was a genius idea because it has great potential to tell the KIMI story.

I thought the quote below fits my state of mind very well, it’s so inspiring & encouraging. The think big & dream big mentality is the current trend, if your dreams don’t scare you then they are not big enough- unknown. On that note it does, so much so it doesn’t seem real and very out of reach for someone like me. So I would more than welcome your thoughts on the concept for my book.




What’s different about this book?

I note that there are plenty of memoires & biography based books already talks about dysfunctional upbringings, childhood traumas, abusiveness & so on. I was keen not to rewrite more or less of the same so my concept are as follows:

Working Title: A relentless fight to break dysfunctional cycles & achieving eternal peace & joy shaping a destiny that is beyond recognition.

Sub-Title: A journey of healing, forgiveness, love & learning new ways of being tells the story of what can happen when you get radical. 

 This quote became the heart beat of KIMI:  It's hard to bring up a child, but it's even harder to fix a broken child-unknown. 

Keola-means the life:
Brought up in drama, dysfunction, negativity & strife it became our norm. Emotional & psychological abuse was an almost daily occurrence, over a sustained period it become a way of life & slowly but surely the words spoken over us started to take effect. ‘Never amount to anything’. At one of my lowest ebb & a mother myself reading and writing became my solitude. It formed the foundation of my inspiration to makes sense of what seems to be a senseless childhood of endless pain.

Inspiration:
A trigger could send me into a tail spin. I also felt that therapy was part of my identity & during the course of 10 years it would merely touch the symptoms & not the actual cause. To be truly at peace seemed, a luxury out of my reach. In 2013, my professional circumstances was so dysfunctional it became unbearable. So much so, I was losing the fight for living & not just existence. Finding the Lord in 2014, has enabled me to realise that my mess can turn into my message & my pain can turn into my purpose. This information became the motivation to turn this into an Idea-an idea that can change the lives of many from dysfunctional, challenging & difficult circumstances.

Motivation:
The inspiration was feeding my motivation to make a difference & create change. Your past does not define you, through healing you can be redefined by it for the better. On a personal level I realised that if I don’t forgive the cause, my daughter will probably tell a not so dissimilar story in the not so distance future, after all nothing positive comes out of bitterness & resentment. My idea was taking shape & KIMI blog & bag was born.

Ideas:
The idea(s) was fuelling indefinitely -KIMI manifesto is to engage, encourage & elevate all to think & be beyond their circumstances, especially the youth.

I would welcome some comments or suggestions of you thoughts on the plot and a massive #thankyou for your support over 3,800 hits so far. 

With love and hugs

Highly Effective People Strives For Excellence

Hello I hope you enjoyed the last 2 special blog posts about Parentalk and Abuse. I felt it was important for me to use this platform to raise awareness on topics that could make a positive impact on future generations. This week is back to talking about life, inspiration, motivation and ideas-this post was actually inspired by a rather dysfunctional event. Every day we have many distractions, which can keep us from our destiny if we chose to be consumed by it.  Our dreams has to be bigger than our current reality to cause us not to sweat the smaller stuff and that involves letting some things or people go. The difference between effective and not-effective people is how we chose to channel it. Below is how (after the initial annoyance) I done it. Just to put this into context- the individual(s) concerns were unable to take accountability for their actions / errors, instead what I observed was a misuse of power and the slow demise of an outdated organisation. Enjoy...

A book review – Part One - Dealing with Disappointment by John Hindley

This book was a relatively easy read with the simple idea that leaves you to question: is life just one big disappointment?  In many ways it does seem so; the author delves into different areas of disappointment in our lives. I suspect most if not all are relatable to everyone. Firstly, the author says we actually should be disappointed by life, as things are not as good as they should be. We live in a frustrated and frustrating world; the frustration is because of the fallen world when sin entered humanity. We all carry this divinely inbuilt sense that the world should and could be better. The book goes on to say that on the other hand, we are sometimes too disappointed with life.  We expect satisfaction from other areas of lives to overcompensate for this.  When this satisfaction is denied, it starts an over-disappointed cycle. For example, I came across a thread where the mum wrote in and expressed disappointment in her children’s grades, which led her to ques...

A seemingly insignificant act has the potential to change the world...

I loved learning about the story of Reformation Day. The significance centres on how the Bible became accessible for everyone to read - historically the general public wasn’t allowed to read it, only priests or those considered anointed within the church were allowed to read it. The priests read the Bible in Latin, so for most people, it wasn’t even possible to read it. God’s word was entrusted into the hands of those in power, who were deemed qualified to understand it.  What the priests were teaching, was not actually in line with what the Bible said, as one monk, called Martin Luther found out. He started to read the Bible for himself out of pure frustration.  According to the teachings of the priests, believing in God seem to be just to be an endless set of rules and it left him feeling as if he could never be good enough for God. Little did he know at the time, he was about to birth a revolution that quite literally changed the world. This set him on a path of ...
