Sudan death row woman 're-arrested'

This is really getting ridiculous. After Sudanese government confirmed that Meriam has been freed, news coming in now states otherwise. 

Meriam has been detained with her family at Khartoum airport, sources have told the BBC.

Meriam Ibrahim was sentenced to hang in May for renouncing Islam, sparking widespread outrage at home and abroad.

About 40 security agents detained Mrs Ibrahim - along with her husband, Daniel Wani and two children - at the airport, the sources said.

On Monday, Mr Wani said the family intended to leave for the US.

Mrs Ibrahim was released from prison after an appeal court annulled the death sentence imposed on her.

BREAKING NEWS: Sudanese mother sentenced to death for 'converting to Christianity' freed after international outcry

Great news!!!

Ms Ibrahim and husband Daniel Wani

A court in Sudan today ordered the release of the 27-year-old woman sentenced to death last month for converting from Islam to Christianity, the state news agency said. A government official had told Reuters on May 31 that Sudanese officials were working to release Ibrahim.

Ms Ibrahim, born in eastern Sudan's Gedaref state on November 3, 1987, is the daughter of a Sudanese Muslim father and an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian mother, according to a statement from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Khartoum obtained last week by AFP.

Her father abandoned the family when she was five, and she was raised according to her mother's faith, it says.

'She has never been a Muslim in her life,' said the statement signed by Father Mussa Timothy Kacho, episcopal vicar for Khartoum. Miss Ibrahim joined the Catholic church shortly before she married the Mr Wani in December 2011, the vicar said.

Mr Wani was born in Khartoum but is now a U.S. citizen, the U.S. embassy confirmed to AFP last Tuesday.

South African Man Eats Heart of Ex Girlfriend’s New Lover

I am yet to understand the rationale of some human beings. I just read that a man in South Africa has been arrested by authorities when he was found using a knife and fork to eat the heart of his ex-girlfriend’s new lover.

According to what police told BBC Africa, the 62-year old victim was stabbed in the chest and neck, and had a bite mark on his face.

The suspect who is a Zimbabwean national, was found in the Gugulethu township near Cape Town. He will be formally charged in court on Thursday or Friday.

One witness stated that “It was very gruesome. It’s definitely a love triangle”

My new hobby!!!

Making cakes!!! I have taken to baking cakes of recent. I enjoy the process of baking and the outcome. I used Lorraine Pascale's recipe to make the Victorious Victoria sandwich cake and 'I don't give a dame chocolate cake'. They all tasted amazing. Here are some pictures:

First-time novelist who was rejected by publishers for 10 years wins one of world's top literary awards

Despite being rejected by every publisher, Irish author Eimear McBride, never gave up. Her novel 'A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing' was written 10 years ago.   Her work was rejected by publishers for a decade. However, delay was not denial in her case. A small company in McBride's hometown of Norwich finally agreed to release it last year. She won the £30,000 Women's Prize for Fiction.

Morale of this real life story is never give up no matter how many knock backs, rejections or 'NO' you get. Keep focused and you will surely achieve your dreams. This story shows it happens. Well done Eimear McBride.

Inspiring word

A friend shared this with me and I loved it. I hope you find some inspiration from it too.


One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried pitifully for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old,and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realised what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later,the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL:
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but -more from God.
Beloved, being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
