I was seeing someone off at the airport like eight years ago. Then I met one guy who got married like a month ago. So, I asked him about his honeymoon and how marriage had been treating him so far.
While he was telling me about his wife and all, one gorgeous woman came down the escalator we were standing next to. I looked at her and she was pretty. Of course, he stopped talking and gave her a long look. Then I waited until he was done staring; but I was standing there wishing he wouldn’t turn to follow her after she passed us.

You have no idea how happy I’m to hear from people who are reading or read my book! It rejuvenates my soul and spirit!
I literally labored to give birth to this baby of mine, “Beyond the Fairy Tale” and it means a lot to me to hear back from people who have received my baby.
And someone I don’t know sent me a picture of her and my baby from Portland, Oregon and she gave me permission to post her picture. Thank you Hana!
I know, you may ask, “How did your baby get to Oregon?” Online order or someone sent it to them. I just love to see my baby on others’ hands; especially on young and beautiful girls’ hands.

Sunday is the first day of the week. I know, for a long time, I thought Monday was the first day of the week. Some people say that Saturday is actually the first day of the week since Saturday is actually the original Sabbath according to Jews.
Well, I think this is one of the issues we shouldn’t divide over. And when people try to argue saying Saturday or Sunday is the Sabbath, I usually say, “Whatever works for you is fine with me.” I mean after all Sabbath “was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” (Mark 2:27) Continue reading The First Day of the Week→
First thank you to all of you who ordered online my book, “Beyond the Fairy Tale” and it is great to hear from some of you that you are enjoying reading my book. I love that!
But we have four orders here from the following states and countries that we are unable to send:
My awesome kids, Abel Banko (our older son) and Lydia Banko (our middle child and only daughter), selling their mama’s first book, “Beyond the Fairy Tale” at the IEEC, DC last Sunday.
Our youngest son, Biruk Banko, was helping around with his favorite cousins but he missed this good shot!

When I received the shipment from my publisher, I opened the first box and fell on the floor. It was like a childbirth kind of experience. I took out one book, kissed it many times and I wanted to cry but at the same time I wanted to shout and laugh! I held my book tightly close to my heart and fell before my God and my Lord who saw me through the tough road of writing a book. It was a long and at times very trying journey but through it all, God stood with me saying, “Fixed your eyes on Me and keep going!”Continue reading “Beyond the Fairy Tale” – Book Trailer!→
Growing up, I used to love to read and hear romantic stories. And from all the stories I heard, one particular true story stayed with me for a long period of time. So, the story of this man and his woman used to be the topic of everybody’s coffee time discussion. And I love to hear about them. This man, as they said, “loves his girlfriend so much that if any man decides to look at her, he will fight with that man. If she decides to say hi to any man, it doesn’t matter whether the man is her uncle or brother, he will put her in trouble.” So, wherever this couple goes, there is always a drama to tell. As a little girl, I used to sit and dream about having a “macho and loving man” like that guy standing next to me, because I thought that was the definition of love.
I mean think about it! As a little girl who didn’t have anyone to teach her how a girl should be loved and treasured by a man, I thought that was the most romantic relationship any girl can ever have with a man. So, I made a decision with myself to find that kind of man for myself. Continue reading True Love Knows . . .→
