South Africa - Balcony View!


Every morning, I would wake up to this beautiful view! Appreciating God's creations was at moments breathtaking. I LOVED South Africa! The beauty, the weather, the people, the feeling of "paradise on earth".

Me and My Sister's 1st Swim





The pool in the backyard of the house was beautiful. Watching my sister get excited to put her feet in, made it easy for us to decide it was a perfect time for her 1st swim. She's a little fish!

Just Us Girls Soiree!





My friend Michele Jackson from church started "Just Us Girls Soirees" earlier this year. At her last soiree, she asked me to be the featured speaker. It was a BLAST!

There were about 17 girls, from different schools. Some came solo, some came with friends. And by the end of the night, we were ALL blessed. There was food, music, dancing and a seminar portion.

Since it was such a hit, Michele is doing another soiree, and this time it's a SLEEPOVER!!! She's booked rooms at a hotel and 60 girls have already signed up! The date is: Saturday, November 17th from 5:00pm - 8:00am Sunday morning. I'll be one of 4 speakers, and we'll provide food, fun, games and a safe environment for personal growth.

If you live in the LA area and you'd like your daughter, friend or relative to attend, please call me (888) 339-8450. Also, we need a few more chaperones plus SPONSORS! It's just $20/girl to sponsor. And we'd *LOVE* your support.

P.S. As a sponsor, Michele and I will send you pictures and a play-by-play email about the experience!

Khama poses for hot LA artist!

I was blessed to pose for one of the hottest artists in LA...who happens to be a good friend from high school. Heather and I met in 7th grade in Shaker Heights, OH at Hathaway Brown School for girls.

After graduation we went our separate ways and then met up again a few years ago, here in California. She is now married with two beautiful children and owns "H. Palleiko Designs". She has shows all over LA and has become quite popular in the industry of lifecasting and contemporary wearable art!

This beautiful lifecasting is my back! I recently went to her home studio and she did her magic! Heather says, "The unique, one-of-a-kind piece is titled Oshun Ala, selected carefully to reflect the beauty and strength of the model. Oshun is an African goddess of love, beauty and diplomacy. She teaches people to overcome their difficulties through kindness and negotiation. Ala is the African goddess of the earth, the mother of all things. She is the deity of fertility and death. This means that she sparks creativity and life deep within us and shows us the way to leave old things behind to start anew; she gives us rebirth."

Oshun Ala is available for $1200.
