HOW TO EMBRACE YOUR CURVES.

Image
At one point in life or the other, we have all been self-conscious about how we look and how others perceive us. Hollywood has created this ridiculous stereotype that for you to be viewed as sexy, you have to fit a particular body type. I have started several workout programs after watching Beyoncé’ singing or watching a movie where the actress looked for ridiculously hot. Those programs did not last long because I was trying to look like someone else. Everybody is unique, just because you have curves does not mean you are unhealthy. I have been with people who I admire because they workout, they eat a healthy balanced diet but they also do not deny themselves that treat one’s in a while. They have curves, and they are proud of them because they are living a full, well-balanced life. Getting to the point where you accept yourself for who you are and live your best life is hard, but we are here to help with that. We came up with several tips to help you embrace your curves.

MY BIRTHDAY POST: TRUST IN GOD [SIMPLEHAPPYSELF]

-

Proverbs Chapter 3 verse 5 & 6 says:

 Trust the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight.

 In all your ways acknowledge Him and do not rely on your own insights.

The Most Important Lesson I have learned in my 20's:

It's such a great day for me, it’s my birthday!!!!

I AM TURNING A YEAR OLDER and I live in my aunt’s house in a small bedroom that used to be a store.
I work every day at a job that pays less than my profession asks for, at a job that will end in three months then I am back out in the world with no job.
All I own in this world are a laptop, a blanket and a pair of sheets and that's it.
Those are all the reasons why I should be sad because I am growing older and I always thought I would be further in life. I always thought I would own more by now, be more.
I am listing all this to show you that I am nowhere close to where I ever thought I would be by now but I am grateful.
I am so grateful for all that has been handed to me in life.
I know I will be okay.
It took a lot of work, self-searching and self-love to conclude that there is only one thing left in the world, Trust in God.
I feel like this is the most important lesson I have learned.
A couple of months ago I used to be stressed about everything.
I was stressed about where my life was going.
I was stressed about how my life was shaping up.
I would cry when I wake up and cry myself to sleep at night, thinking I was a failure, that I could not achieve anything.
It got so bad that I could spend all day in bed depressed.
I thought my future was bleak because I could not see past tomorrow, what I did not understand was that it was not for me to see. God had already shaped my future. It was bright because He did not make me suffer; He did not create me to wallow in self-pity as the days go by.
Then I had this realization: I cannot control anything.
No matter how much I try, no matter how hard I push, if God had not said yes, and then there was nothing I was doing.
All I was doing was exhausting me and making my depression worse.
I turned to people for answers and help, some of them ignored me while others tried to help but whatever they said was not what I wanted to hear at all.
I made a mistake.
I did not turn to God.
I never turned to God.
I thought I knew everything and I was bitter, frustrated and angry at the world.
I was angry at everything.
There is nothing more freeing in the world than the certainty that you have no control, that God has all the control.
At times that scares me because I want to be powerful.
I want to be in control.
I want to influence and change things.
I want to be powerful.
I want to control what happens to me and at what time it happens.
Have you ever had a plan so good and thought that this is a sure deal. If only this happens then I will be set for life.
Then just one thing goes wrong and everything else falls apart, you are left wondering what happened.
That was never God's plan for you.
It was not meant to happen that way.
Just accepting the fact and embracing it has thought me so much.
Just three words that have so much power: Trust in God. He knows what is best for you.
I do not know what you have gone through.
Maybe you got into an accident and lost your leg or your spouse too early.
Maybe you lost all your possessions that you worked so hard for, to robbers.
Maybe you lost all your dreams to life.
Maybe you just fell and you still cannot stand up again.
I have to learn to let go and let God.
You have to learn to let go and let God.
Charles. R. Swindoll said: You can never outgrow lust or worry, it is part of the flesh; you have to trust God and work through it.

DEAR PRECIOUS YOU - WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT DURING COVID-19 [SIMPLEHAPPYSELF]

I do not know about you but deep down I am scared. I am scared about what will happen to me, I am scared for my family, I am scared for my job security, I am scared for my country and most important of all I am scared for the whole human population. The Covid-19 came to us like a thief in the night, no warning, no time to prepare. One day we were fine and going about our businesses, a few weeks or months later everything changed. The bridges that we formed as a society were crossed. Nobody was safe anymore. Rich or poor. White or black. Babies or the young or the elderly Man or woman. Africa or the USA. We are all affected. Jobs closed. Countries locked down. Gatherings whether happy or sad shutdown. Churches, schools and places of worship are closed. At this moment, nobody knows what is going to happen to the world. We are all at the edge of our seats, waiting with baited breathe for it to blow over. I would love to wake up tomorrow and find

COME TO WORK WITH ME: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS I TOOK AGAINST COVID-19

Excitement fills each pore in my body as I get out of bed, another great day that the Lord has granted me. As usual, I wake at six o’clock and prepare to head to work. It is not a normal day like I am used to; even as I leave my house today I have to be careful. I have to stay on alert and take care of myself. With the corona virus spread around the world, finally, it has made its way into Kenya. I appreciate the government for taking very swift measures and encouraging those who can work from home to do so. Unfortunately, I fall into the category of people who cannot work from home. Even though I do not live hand to mouth where I depend on everyday wages, my job involves a lot of physical work where I have to be present and the inventory is too large and equipment too expensive to carry home. I appreciate my employer for considering my safety and dividing the number of people who have to report to work into three groups of seven people to reduce congestion and
