Read her message;

One of the best feelings one can have is the feeling that some people who have never met you in person have your back. I have experienced love from unimaginable people; Ghana, Liberia, Paris, UK, USA, Seychelles and all over the world.

Some met me crying, gave me gifts, took pictures, asked questions, and some, not so pleasant. But in all of these, I have no complaint because being where I am is a gift and privilege by God. A privilege and a place I never thought I would be, a few years ago.

Welcome To 2015 And Happy New Year!

At midnight I shared new year messages to my various social media, but I won't forget to also post this here. Hope everyone crossed over successfully. Wishing you all a marvellous and fulfilling 2015. I'll certainly be looking forward to another year of adventure and wonder.

Nothing beats the excitement of the anticipation of good things and a new beginning. And don't beat yourself up if like me your 2014 wasn't all you imagined. Sometimes it is not just the destination that matters but also the journey and the joy we take from the everyday. So close your eyes and make a wish. I pray that all our dreams will come true in their due time.

Rounding off 2012 in Portland Oregon - Weekend Pictures

When deliberating on what to do or where to go for Christmas or New Year, we didn't want to go too far so it was either a staycation at home, another city in our state or something similar. We settled for Portland in neighboring Oregon, it is actually closer to us here than some other cities in Washington, and we'd never been there before.

To add some pizazz, we decided not to drive, and instead bought Amtrak train tickets to and from Portland. It was roughly three and half hours, and that was time we could spend doing whatever we wanted instead of one person being stuck behind the wheel. Something funny happened, we almost bought tickets to Portland, Maine. The price first tipped us off, and the fact that it took three days to get there. We shined our eyes properly and were able to select our correct destination in the end.

The train ride to Portland was quite comfortable, I could say luxurious even. It was the Coast Starlight enroute to Los Angeles, and had and upper level in coach where we sat. The leg room was so much I was jealous. Why? Because I couldn't reach the leg rest attached to the seat in front of me. Turns out, the train thought of everything. Both the food tray and leg rest had extensions so I was able to use them easily. Our return was on the Cascades, which though not as shiny, was comfy still.
