OUR BEST WEDDING GIFT WAS FROM A STRANGER

-

 Kindness is the mark we leave on the world.

 In a gentle way, you can shake the world. Here is the story of our best wedding gift. We got really nice and amazing gifts from on our wedding day and we still want to appreciate everyone, family, and friends for our gits but the best and most beautiful gift we got on our civil wedding day came from a complete stranger. sometimes they say "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it" 

    That morning we got dressed up and ready to leave for city hall in downtown Boston (click here for an insight on our civil wedding). Boston being Boston of course we couldn't drive there because of parking issues. so we booked an Uber, got into the car, greeted the driver who was so excited about our outfits, and drove off. After about 5miles of driving and chatting about the daily life of a Bostonian, we realized we had forgotten our registration form lol!. Of course as usual I was so worked up but Chickito(my then fiance) was so calm. " We will just pay him, get off get another uber and go get it," he said, but the driver said no he would take us back home to get the form and he will still drive us to court. that was exactly what he did. we couldn't be grateful enough. As if that wasn't enough, just before we got to the city council it started raining. Before we could even worry about the rain he told us he had an umbrella in the trunk of his car and that we could use it. we refused because we didn't know where nor how we would return it. but he said, " please keep it as a wedding gift from me. you two look like a really cute pair and I wish you a happy marriage". our hearts filled with love and gratitude and our mouths praises. That umbrella saved us that day because it rained all day lol! . He was our sent angel with the best gift ever. We still have our precious umbrella and we intend to cherish and keep it and someday bless someone through it too💓 like true Bostonians. 

I think the most appreciated things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. The love of his kind act was the beauty of this gift. I don't think we've ever bought another umbrella. Not because we can't afford it but because we have the best one that reminds us of how much it means to be kind, to give, to love irrespective of whether you know someone or not. His kind act is encrypted in our hearts forever. Every time it rains, every time we use it, we bless him and we feel so blessed. THANK YOU AGAIN, KIND STRANGER!😘 

Every rainy day with our umbrella is and will always be special!

    What a touching story behind such an invaluable gift. It reminds me of a similar gift of an umbrella I got last Christmas when mine broke in the middle of a storm. I don't know where this cute Italian guy popped up from, gave me ride and if that was not enough, when he dropped me off, he gave me a brand new umbrella as a Christmas gift (Not typical of a 'milanese' lol), he was a complete stranger and indeed an angel, never seen him since that day. Each time I use it, I think about him, I remember he spoke several languages and knew so much about my home country. The most beautiful and useful things really do come from strangers. I love your blogs lots, the cute couple, not more than I love you though. A million kisses and hugs :)

TIPS TO GROW HEALTHY NATURAL HAIR

 Lately, we have gotten a lot of questions on how we grew our natural hair and I thought what better way to answer these questions but to provide a place for reference. The funny thing is I wasn't really intentionally growing our hair, was just living each day with normal braids and having fun trying cornrows and twists on Chikito's hair and on my hair. check out my hair page  https://www.patycon.com/p/natural-hair-journeybraids.html   for more.  Okay now, let's dive into it. The first tip I will like to share is:- 1. Decide if you want to go natural  Keeping natural hair is not easy as it looks so it's important to make sure it's your decision and you are not pressured into it or doing it for someone else. I remember when I decided to cut my then-permed hair I was so impressed by my little sister's hair, Yeah she had beautiful natural hair and I envied how she grew her hair in less time than my permed hair was growing lol! so I decided to cut mine and grow it a...

 When I call you my best friend, some might think I mean 'let your husband be your bestfriend Kinna thing' but no not at all . When I say Besty, I mean my best friend, that person that from the start I saw and thought of as a high school boy that wanted to just chat with me 😀😀, the small boy that was always in shorts and T-shirts. when I call you best friend I mean that guy that slowly charmed me with his humility and personality, when I call you best friend, I mean that friend that was there when I had friends and when I lost friends. I men that one friend that even in good times, bad times, worst times, and ugly times was there for me . that person that saw me at my good and bad moments and yet chose to stay and still does,  Before my dad passed away we were dating. To him, it was a marriage at first sight and he always said so lol! My dad's death affected me so badly, I was on the verge of giving up on school, on life. I even gave up on friendship. I pushed everyone aw...

ONCE UPON A TIME ON A TRIP TO FRANCONNIA ......

Our next trip took us to  Franconia, a beautiful town in Mid to Northern New Hampshire. It is a little town with a rich and fascinating history, lots of things to do and lots of places to go. Our first stop was the Cannon Mountain Ski Area. The Cannon Mountain Ski Area is  a state-owned ski resort located on Cannon Mountain  in the White Mountains of New Hampshire  United States. Cannon is located within Franconia North Scotch Park  and offers 10 lifts servicing 265 acres (1.07 km 2 ) of skiing (168 with snowmaking). Cannon has 23 miles (37 km) of trails and a north-northeast exposure and has the only aerial tram  in New Hampshire. We enjoyed our time there learning to ski down the slopes, the people there were extremely kind and cordial, and always ready to help us when we fell skiing.  The next stop was The Basin:  At the base of the White Mountains of New Hampshire is a beautiful waterfall at this site is a granite pothole 20 feet in ...
