...... Click here if you missed #1 The infamous Vuto tribe ? I kept asking myself as we walked on. I had picked up my pace without knowing and the knot I felt in my belly was not helping. Now I understood why and how Atema was able to move. I would too even if I had no legs. The Vuto tribe were an essential part of our story, the shadow thief, their legendary name, had been a thorn in the flesh of my people long before I was born. They were the scary stories parents told their children, a last resort when other forms of discipline failed. It had been almost a century since the last attack and for the first time in many years, we, the Hadza people, were beginning to release our fears and let go of the past. We were wrong. I felt a surge of anger rise up within me even as my steps quickened. How could we have allowed this happen to us? My mind drifted back to one of the nights by the bonfire while growing up. ...
For a long time coming, I had tried and failed repeatedly to achieve certain goals I set for myself. New year's day were my most inspired day to start again.

I asked myself many troubling questions 🙋🏾 were other people better than I was? 🙋🏾 was I destined to fail? 🙋🏾 am I simply just too la...
I watched for the umpteenth time that which I had watched before, 'Kung-fu panda' 🐼 But last night it felt different. Before now it was just one of those really nice stories that my kids and I enjoyed watching . But last night, yesterday, I could relate with 'Po' the dragon Warrior in ways I never did as some powerful lessons hit me in the face. ➡ 'Po' did not become the dragon Warrior by chance.
