Hakuna Matata, “It’s Okay”

Trying to describe my experience at Maisha is like trying to describe the soul, faith, spirituality, grace or love…these concepts are so personal, intimate and evocative, almost indescribable, as was my journey of Life (Maisha).   I traveled to Maisha with a group (Run for Life) of strong, faithful, inspiring women and their amazing 8th grade […]Read more
