Any learner of the Japanese language would have come across this saying soon enough. It’s frequently used in conversation, books, social media posts, etc. Bitcoiners will gravitate towards this saying since it is about the currency we value most of a...

Happy Birthday, Oluwadarasimi. I am absolutely excited to celebrate her on this amazing platform. How fast she has grown and I am absolutely thrilled to watch her grow through the years. Words are not enough to express the joy of watching her grow...

22 May 2024 4 minute read 0 comments Brittany_Aus Explorers

Well it’s been a while—as a family living life on the road there are plenty of challenges, and excuses, and so, putting thoughts down, 2 fingers at a time on a keyboard, is the first thing to take a back seat. I’ve begun to steer myself back on cours...

My approach to parenting young kids in mid-life, when compared to my early 30’s, like my taste in music, has barely changed a bit. I’ve certainly changed and developed within myself, but there are traits that I have carried with along me, much like a...

I’m currently 50 years of age, with 3 daughters—one in her early 20’s, a 2-year-old, and a 5-month-old. The little ones aren’t the result of “accidents”, nor a means of staving off a midlife crisis by introducing babies into middle age—that would be...

Celebrating Love: Family.

19 Feb 2024 2 minute read 0 comments Olawalium

There is an adage that says we all start and end with family and that's the truth. God sets the solitaries in families because belongingness is part of family. Diversity is a fact. Inclusion is an act. Belonging is the outcome. The importance of ke...
