I recently got chatting with my friend about life and the things that bring people together. In my opinion there are three things that bring people together regardless of creed/race, ethnicity, social and or economic status and gender.
The three things in my opinion are weddings, sports and music. Well you could shoot down the aspect of weddings because of the whole issue of family representation and if families disagree they do so in unison. But in retrospect even if the family does unite against the wedding or for that one day nothing else matters its all fun and games.
Sports need i say more... its the origin of this post.it was so amazing to seek Kenyans urging on David Rudisha to win the gold in the London Olympics. People all high-fived', exchanged smiles and they had only met each other that night. For that one moment it was all ecstatic and nothing mattered. We were proud to be Kenyan.
Music though has the power to bring people of all generations and mind sets together. Bob Marley did it with his song One love.music is a glue that enables to link with the generations past and present. To appreciate soul music and incorporate it into the new generation music makes it a universal language. Not only does unite people it unites nations and cultures. Even with bands it is the same thing there are different people and different cultures all represented that come together as one.
Today's post is different because there is only going to be one picture. actually not a picture but my new logo revealed, and some of the highlights of the pictures taken since I launched my blog. I hope this joins us together as well.

I totally agree with you that sports unites us all. I remember watching the Rudisha race and everyone around me just collectively holding their breathe when he powered past the finish line and broke his own record...that was a glorious moment!
