“I use my music to heal, I use my music to inform, and I use it to bring out that warm feeling inside, so I think I’m doing quite well with my freedom.” – Simphiwe Dana

It’s 12 : 03 PM on day 1980 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 1 Timothy 5,  learn one new thing – Cold weather will cause some trees to explode by freezing the sap, because it contains water, which expands as it freezes, creating a sound like a gunshot. The sound is produced as the tree bark splits, with the wood contracting as the sap expands. –have breakfast,  and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – yesterday Tinuchechi and Jerynchachen donated $250 (thanks SO MUCH chechi and chachen your support means a lot 🙂 ) which brings the total raised to  $2 637  only $3 613 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far   ).

Last night I watched season 3 episode 21 of 21 Icons (the last episode of this season) featuring Singer and Song Writer Simphiwe Dana I love that Simphiwe endeavours to use her music to heal.  Watch “21 Icons: Simphiwe Dana: Short Film” below:
