╭✿╯We may get knocked down on the OUTSIDE, but the key to living in victory is to learn how to get up on the INSIDE. To live our best life now, we need to trust God’s timing. It may seem like all is quiet on the home front, with no progress being made, but you can be sure that right now, behind the scenes, God is arranging all the pieces together to work out His plan for our lives.

Lee's red moments

╭✿╯The most loving and well-rounded people are those who have been shattered by challenges. Yes, life creates the greatest humans by breaking them first. Their destruction into pieces allows them to be fine-tuned and reconstructed into a masterpiece. Truly, it’s the painstaking journey of falling apart and coming back together that fills their hearts and minds with a level of compassion, understanding, and deep loving wisdom that can’t possibly be acquired any other way.

These gorgeous shoes were a gift from one of my treasures colleagues, Sarah. I love that kind-hearted, caring and beautiful woman. Such a beautiful individual and colleague to work with. Also received a beautiful parcel of goodies today from another gorgeous colleague and dear friend. Thank You, Mighty God for always sending your absolute best to bless and enhance my life. And yep, me in red again today.

Lee's Voyages of Discovery

╭✿╯Lee's voyages of discovery.

“I travel because it makes me realize how much I haven't seen, how much I'm not going to see, and how much I still need to see.” – Carew Papritz.

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”

The shaded parts are the countries I've visited so far (and stayed for a while in) - 11 in total (of the 195-251 in the world). I still have many more to visit, God willing, before I leave this earth.

I've hopped on and off at airports in different countries like Singapore, India, Germany & Switzerland, but didn't actually visit the place itself, so I have n't included them in countries visited. Countries visited include;
1.South Africa (Ntl, Pretoria, Jhb, CT, Eshowe, PE, EL, Transkei, Henley-on Klip)
2. Zimbabwe (Bulawayo)
3. China
4. Thailand (Phuket)
5. Indonesia (Bali)
6. England
7. Scotland
8. Wales
9. USA (Hawaii),
10. Fiji.
11. New Zealand 

An introduction to me

╭✿╯A brief 1-minute introduction to me ~ A video which I made today for my book publisher and decided to share with my fb family and friends. I don't ever do live videos...and this will be the only time you see me live. It's definitely one of those rare moments. 🙂 ♥️

Rise Above

(¯`✻´¯)
`*.¸.*✻ღϠ₡ღ¸.✻´´¯`✻.¸ღ ♥*✻ღ♥
╭✿╯Strong?
No, dear friends, I am far from it.
What you're seeing is simply...
a weak person with a VERY STRONG GOD..  ╭✿╯♥

My poem below, which a Tennessee Music Company is using as lyrics, to put into a song. They believe that these lyrics have the makings of a slow ballad...a song that tells a story. They'll rearrange it into a song structure. :)

I love Tennessee & would luuuuv to visit it one day (after COVID!) - It reminds me of childhood memories, listening to Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Elvis Presley, Jim Reeves, Don Williams and other Country & Western singers... my absolute faves. Our family loves them all! One day I hope to meet Dolly...I doubt I ever will, though. We can hope and dream. :) 

This is also one of the poems submitted to London/Cambridge Publishers, which they are currently reviewing (a 6-week process). 

Rise above ~ By Liesel Kippen

Life has many obstacles
That challenge us each day.
They seek to ultimately destroy us
In every possible way.
We often try to fathom
The nature of their aim
Or why they are determined
To decimate us in life’s game.

We can never fully comprehend
Why these obstacles are around.
All they seem devised for
Is to cripple without a sound.
Everything we hold dear
They subtly intimidate
And deceivingly manipulate
By consuming us with their hate.

We never fully grasp it all.
Why this has become our fate
That experiences we live through
Strive to dominate.
They course through our bodies
And infiltrate our minds
Surging with a vengeance
And toxicity of every kind.

Life knows how to knock us down
A skill it most enjoys
Often finding pleasure
While, with our thoughts, it toys.
It never seems satisfied
Until we are completely undone
Then it defiantly accumulates
Victories from us that it has won.

Now we can sit and ponder
Why life stubbornly takes its toll
Or pacify our thinking
While deliberating on a knoll.
We could quietly sit by
And let life have the edge
Or we could rise boldly
And strategically erect a hedge.

We could put a stop to events of life
That are soaked with evil intent
And sometimes, if need be
Find a quiet spot to vent.
Then rise above the obstacles
And tower over their might
While determining within ourselves
Not to give in without a fight.

As we take charge of our life
And brave its many wars.
We’ll finally reach our destination
On quieter, calmer shores.
We’ll develop a disposition
Of powerful character and strength
As we rise above everything
In height, depth, width and length.
