Quotes I love
"Don't Die with Your Music Still in You" Dr Wayne Dyer
“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!" Audrey Hepburn
My favorite Bible verse :- "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." 1 Corinthians 13: 6- 8

I was born and raised in Ethiopia by beautiful, God-loving, and fearing parents, and I am one of a fabulous 9th out of 12 siblings. I am a mother of 13 years old handsome, humorous boy and 11 years old beautiful, caring girl. I respect and value all human life, and I also love family.
