In this post, I’m talking about prayer! Not the simple prayer that you say before you eat your food, but the kind of prayer that will make the sun not shine, the prayer that will bring down rain and fire from the heavens, the kind of prayer that will part the red sea, the kind of prayer that will raise the dead, the kind of prayer that will keep the babies in the womb when their water breaks at 19 weeks. Our prayers matter and they move God, so it’s imperative that we take serious inventory of how we pray and what we are praying for.
It was a quite evening at the hospital. I stared out the giant windows and I could see the empty streets glazed with snow. I looked up at the sky and saw that it was painted with different shades of pink and orange. The contrast between the sky and the white glazed streets was so beautiful. The silence outside echoed the one in my room. I asked God what was the meaning of all this? Deep down I already knew that everything that I was going through was not vain. God does not let you go through any hardships in vain
There are so many families at the moment that are grieving the loss of a loved one. There are also a lot of people that do not like the holidays because it reminds them of loved ones that are no longer here, at this time of the year when families get together to celebrate. Dealing with grief is not something that you get over one day; it’s a void that you live with for the rest of your life, but it gets easier with time. My prayer is that one of these may help you deal with your grief one way or the other during this holiday season.
We are all sick and tired of being home! As most countries are slowly starting to ease up on travel restrictions, you may be tempted to make a trip to one of the islands. Here’s quick post on what you should expect if you are looking to travel to the following islands - Bahamas, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica.
In today’s post, we are on a quest for the best swimming pool to indulge in while on vacation. We are looking at 7 pools from across the world - pools overlooking the Caribbean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Andaman Sea to pools overlooking the city skylines and those nestled in the middle of the jungle.
They are so many beautiful tourist places to see in Mexico; however, most of them require at least half a day or a full day commitment as they are all quite far from each other. We couldn’t quite decide what places we wanted to go see but Mexico is known for the ruins, so that was our must-see place. We literally only had 2 days for tourist attractions, so the ruins took up one of those days. The ruins we went to see are located in Tulum, which is about a 2-hour drive from Cancun.
Cancun is the perfect quick getaway from New York. You can’t go wrong with beautiful beaches, delicious food and amazing views. Hyatt Zilara exemplifies all three. In part one of this travel diary, I’m taking a deep dive into the resort and what you can expect if you choose to stay there during your vacation.
There are a lot of tourist attractions in Thailand that mostly involve water sports. A lot of tour guides offer half day trips to different islands inclusive of lunch or dinner. On this trip, we visited different islands with beautiful views, unique features, and clear turquiose water perfect for snorkelling.
When you hear the word Thailand, it conjures up an image of perfectly pristine white sand beaches, sea mountains perfectly posing in the water, bright colored longtail boats, and let’s not forget about the Thai food! Krabi is in Southern Thailand along the coast of the Andaman Sea. It is an ideal location for anyone looking for a more relaxed vacation away from hustle and bustle of the city – it is also less crowded in comparison to the more popular Phuket Island and boasts of many white sand beaches, hot springs, coral reefs, caves and waterfalls.
The Hanging Gardens of Bali is located right in the middle of the jungle and boasts 44 secluded villas, each with its own private pool. The resort is famously known for having the world’s best infinity pool - a two tiered pool that is lit with hundreds of candles in the night time for a truly romantic dinner for the resort guests.
One thing I loved about Bali is its rich culture and the different types of attractions it has to offer. In this travel series, I cover all the places that you must see in Bali from waterfalls, volcanoes, coffee plantations to temples.
Maybe it's the inviting sound of Balinese music constantly playing in my ears, or the warm smiles of the Balinese people dressed in vibrant attires. Maybe it's the moon that hangs low over the palm trees or the sound of the river gently flowing in the rainforest. Bali is heaven on earth.
This post is a continuation of my Singapore Travel Diary. If you missed the first post where I share tips on finding the best hotel for you, you can check it out here. We were only in Singapore for a few days, so if you plan on visiting and are pressed for time, make sure to check out these tourist places - Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay, Orchard Road, Little India, and Singapore Botanic Gardens.
Do you recall the scene in Black Panther where T’Challa dies (at least we think so) and the heartbreak that everyone feels at losing him? But he comes back to life to defeat his enemy and reclaim his throne. This past Friday, the world stood still at the devastating news of the passing of Chadwick Boseman. I honestly wish it was all a part of the movie where he comes back to life but unfortunately, it’s not.
