Meaning of Kelly (Rowland)


Today I held a small picture quiz. Now comes the answer: It was Kelly Rowland!
Now I thought it would be good to know the meaning of the name Kelly.
Kelly is a Gaelic / Irish name. The meaning is: War, strife, bright-headed

So it means everyone who bears this name,  is a fighter!

I think Kelly Rowland is also a fighter. Ever since the split of the world's known group Destiny's Child, she has been able to compete in the big world of music! Her latest album is called Here I Am.

'Motivation' is one of the songs on this album. Here she performs it on the BET Awards. So let yourself be seduced by the fighter with the vocal power!



Guess who this is!


Hello people, today even a quiz of mine! Guess which famous U.S. singer is on the photo!

A little tip from me, they used to be a threesome :)

You will get the answer in the evening!

Meanwhile, you can find me on

My Childhood

My childhood was fun,
tough and exciting.
My childhood was one
where there wasn't much fighting.
This was my childhood.

My childhood was filled
with family and friends.
My childhood was filled
with love that tied up loose ends.
This was my childhood.

My childhood came
with a grandmother that cared.
When she left me
I remembered all the times we shared.
This was my childhood.

My childhood was filled
with classwork and homework.
My childhood was filled
with parents who hated work.
This was my childhood.

My childhood was filled
with fun in the hood,
and food that tasted like Campbell's,
'Umm Umm Good! '
This was my childhood.

My childhood was filled
with tricycles and bicycles.
My childhood was filled
with popsicles and Dill pickles.
This was my childhood.

My childhood was filled
with lots of happy holidays.
Holidays that aren't
just the same nowadays.
This was my childhood.

Now my childhood
has become nothing but memories,
But all the good times
will live on within me.
This was my childhood.

Beauty of the Day

Gabbra woman, Kenya

True Beauty
True beauty is in the way she laughs
True beauty is in her eyes
True beauty is how she acts
True beauty is inside
True beauty is unseen
True beauty is only felt
True beauty is not mean
True beauty is herself
True beauty can't be cruel
True beauty is bare
True beauty within you
True beauty is always there
True Beauty can't be covered with makeup
True beauty means true love
True beauty can't be baked up
True beauty is the flight of a dove
True beauty has no flaws
For True beauty is all that matters after all

Beauty of the Day



“BEAUTIFUL TO BE BLACK”
“It’s beautiful to be black.”
It is the color of strength and pride.
I will say it out loud. I don’t have to hide.

I love me, and the color that I represent.
Look at me, there is nothing like it.
What you see is not an illusion.
It’s a gift from GOD, don’t ever confuse it.

“It’s beautiful to be black.”
It is the color of fame and envy.
If I wasn’t black, I wouldn’t be me.

Black is the color of power and authority.
It is so outstanding, thank you LORD for blessing me.
I’ll shout it to the world, I’m proud of what I am.
Those who are in vain will never understand.

“It’s beautiful to be black”
It is the color of confidence and style.
I have been blessed, by my ancestor from the Nile.

I am scenic from the inside out.
These verses are true, I don’t have any doubt.
There is no one who can change my mind.
Black has been beautiful since the begging of time.

“It’s beautiful to be black.”
It is the color of honor and grace.
This is one thing that cannot be taken away.

Beauty of the Day -- Keshia Buchanan


Keshia Buchanan

Hello Leuts,
today's "Beauty of the Day" is the very talented singer Keshia Buchanan of the successful British band "Sugababes".

Interesting Facts about Keshia Buchanan

Keisha Buchanan reads the Bible every night.
The Sugababes beauty is so determined not to follow in the footsteps of troubled singer Amy Winehouse that she has turned to religion in a bid to stay on the straight and narrow.
She told Britain's Closer magazine: "Seeing Amy Winehouse fall apart so badly really upsets me. Religion has kept me on track - I read my Bible every evening."


Sugababes (today)
As was announced recently, the group celebrates a comeback in the original cast. Also on board will be Mutya Buena, Siobhan Donaghy and, of course, Keshia Buchanan. One must be credited high to the band, although the cast changed constantly, the music was getting better and more successful. I'm curious what new songs they will bring this time out.
In joyful expectation

your

Without many words, I will light a candle for all the innocent people who died in the unnecessary and cruel shootings in Colorado. Time will heal the wounds of the survivors. The 12 dead have already arrived in the paradise, by the grace of God!

Akon loves Big Butts

Akon just tweeted the following: "I love big Butts!!! And I can not lie" And adds the first picture.
Currently the R & B singer is in Ibiza. As you can see in the second picture, he has a lot of fun with famous friends like hip-hip legend Rick Ross and known DJ David Guetta.


Akon and "the Butt"

Until now I knew very little about the rapper Rick Ross. On Wikipedia I have found out this interesting fact about him :
William Leonard Roberts II was born in Coahoma County, Mississippi. and raised in Carol City, Florida, near Miami.After graduating from Carol City Senior High School, he later attended the historically black college, Albany State University on a football scholarship. He derived his stage name from the drug trafficker "Freeway" Ricky Ross, to whom he has no connection. What impressed me the most is the fact that he had even planned studies. Finally a hip-hopper who had no Gansta past.



David Guetta, Akon, incognito, Rick Ross




Back to the Akon, he and his friends are looking very relaxed and are enjoying the wonderful weather on the Spanish island.
I wish them all the best!

Happy Birthday Nelson Mandela!!!

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela is celebrating his 94th birthday today! He was from 1994 to 1999, the first black president of South Africa. He is next to Martin Luther King as the main representative in the fight against global oppression of blacks as a forerunner of the conciliatory transition from apartheid to an equality-oriented, democratic South Africa. In 1993 he received the Nobel Peace Prize.
He studied law at the Witwatersrand University, was a lawyer and spent 27 years as a political prisoner in jail.
I am glad that such legends are still alive, they should be a role model for all of us. We should fight for what we stand for no matter what!

I wish him a peaceful and a very nice celebration with his loved ones!

Stay blessed Nelson!
