Give a kiva loan in 43 countries (read all 7 entries…)
Country #42: Palestine 1 week ago

Just made another Kiva loan, this time to Imad in Palestine... which is then the 42nd country that I make a Kiva loan to. I’m getting close to finishing this goal – only one country to go now :)

Imad, 35 years old, is married with three children. All his children are currently in school. Imad’s main activity is selling fruit and vegetables. As of now, this is his only source of income.

This is the first time that Imad has requested a loan from Ryada. This loan will let him purchase more fruits and vegetables to sell and therefore improve his business by being able to provide a larger variety of goods.



Replace 3 bad habits with 3 good ones
Trio of Changes 1 week ago
  1. Stop always getting myself too busy planning ahead – instead relax, meditate and live in the NOW.
  2. Stop eating unhealthy stuff late at nights – instead brush my teeth and floss soon after dinner.
  3. Stop waiting for other people to take initiative – instead be the one to initiate.


meditate and do yoga daily
Establishing a habit 1 week ago

Sometimes I have trouble focusing on the here & now, however, I find it easier to meditate when I mix it with some yoga practices. Therefore I found it fit to keep these two daily practices as a single goal.

I’m going to try to do this everyday, even though sometimes it will only be for few minutes at a time.

I have already bought a wonderful yoga mat and I have also put together a playlist with relaxing music so I’m ready to start this goal right now :)
