This morning, I found myself reflecting on the story of Anna, the prophetess in Luke 2:36–38.

The Bible tells us she was married for only seven years before she became a widow… seven years. Such a short season, followed by a lifetime of loss.
And yet, her story does not end in sorrow.

Instead of sinking into bitterness or giving up on life, Anna chose a different path. She leaned into God. She gave herself to prayer, to worship, to service.
Day after day, night after night… she stayed in His presence.

And then, one day, she became one of the few chosen to witness Jesus the Messiah as a baby.
Imagine that. In her waiting, in her pain, in her quiet faithfulness… God wrote her into one of the most powerful moments in history.

Her life reminds me that even in loss, there is still purpose. Even in waiting, there is still dignity.
Even in the silence, God is still writing.

Lately, my heart has been heavy seeing the rise in the number of young widows. It’s scary… it’s painful… and it raises so many unanswered questions. But today, I just want to gently whisper to every widow reading this:
Hold on to your faith.

I know it’s not easy… it has never been easy.
But you are not forgotten. Not for a moment.
God is still in your story.
He is not done with you.
The same God who saw Anna… sees you.

There is a new song coming.
There is beauty still ahead.
There is a story He is rewriting… and you are right in the middle of it.

Please don’t give up.
Shalom 🤍

With ❤️

Happy New Year, ladies 🤍
As January gently comes to a close, I’ve been sitting with a few reflections.
In my work and daily life, I often journey with women—
women carrying visible and invisible scars,
women navigating separation and divorce,
women who have endured abuse,
widows learning how to breathe again,
and women quietly living in the season of waiting.
What strikes me most—again and again—is this hard truth:
some of the deepest wounds women carry were inflicted by other women.
Not always through big acts,
but through our words.
Our tone.
Our assumptions.
Our “corrections.”
Our comments made casually, yet received painfully.
Recently, I spoke with a woman who shared that other women no longer associate with her because she is divorced. She has been labelled a home breaker.
Some divorced women have quietly withdrawn from fellowship spaces—not because they lost faith, but because they lost a sense of belonging.
I speak to widows who tell me they are sidelined, overlooked, or deemed unfit to serve—simply because of their status.
And then there are the comments we make so casually about appearance—
how someone looks today compared to yesterday.
Often spoken without malice, yet received with deep pain,
because we rarely know what someone is truly battling beneath the surface—
grief, illness, stress, depression, survival.
Sisters, we must pause and reflect.
This year, I invite us—gently but intentionally—to be more mindful and more sensitive to one another.
To think before we speak.
To choose curiosity over judgment.
Compassion over criticism.
May this be the year we allow the Holy Spirit to tame our tongues—
that our words may uplift, inspire, and encourage,
and when correction is necessary, may it always be wrapped in love.
Let us be intentional about making a sister smile.
For “Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.” — Proverbs 12:25
May we spread love.
May we choose kindness.
May we create spaces where women heal, not hide.
Shalom 🤍

With love,

Coach Liz Kanini Kitheka

P.S. A belated happy birthday to my daughter, Keneisha, who turned 14 this January.

May you always know that you are loved, valued, and enough—just as you are 💖

👑 Healing, Honor and Hope — A Call to the Real You ✨

Last week, I had the humbling privilege of ministering at two widows’ workshops during the International Ladies of Excellence Conference hosted by the Redeemed Gospel Church of Kenya.

These were not ordinary sessions — they were sacred spaces where deep wounds met divine truth.
We explored powerful topics such as Overcoming Shame & Embracing Redemption and Leading from a Place of Healing and Restoration.

So many widows walk through life carrying silent pain — weighed down by outdated cultural norms that breed shame, guilt, rejection and stigma. They often suppress their gifts, silence their voices and retreat into the shadows of their own stories.

Yet sitting in those rooms, I witnessed something remarkable — resilience wrapped in vulnerability.
Women with hidden scars and broken hearts… still showing up. Still hoping.
Some of them had once carried bright, joyful personalities — but life’s tragedies dimmed their light, leaving them isolated behind a wall of unspoken grief.

Together, we journeyed through Scripture and rediscovered God’s heart for the broken.
Our anchor verse, Isaiah 61:7, speaks directly to every woman who has ever felt unworthy:

“Instead of your shame, you will receive a double portion…”

We reflected on women like Ruth and Naomi, the Widow of Zarephath, Anna the Prophetess, the Samaritan Woman, and the Woman with the Issue of Blood — all of whom faced shame and loss, yet experienced God’s redemptive power in extraordinary ways.

Here is the truth I shared with them — and with you today:

The version of you that existed before the pain is not lost.
She may be buried, but she is still alive.

💡 You can reclaim your joy.
💡 You can step out of guilt and walk in honor.
💡 You can rise again — not as a shadow, but as the woman God created in the beginning.

Too many of us hide behind life’s wounds. We bury our gifts, lose our passions, and settle for mere survival. Then one day we wake up and wonder, “Where did my true self go?”

But people or circumstances do not define your value.
Jesus came to restore what was lost and to exchange ashes for a crown of beauty.

So do not shrink. Do not remain hidden.

You were created to BLOOM — right where you are.

🌸 At Ongea Dada, our message is clear:
Bloom where you are planted. 🌸

And so today I ask you:

Where is the real you?
Where is the woman you were before life happened?

It’s time to let her rise.
It’s time to step into your double portion.

🙏🏽✨

Financial starts in the mind — and flows into how we live, plan, and grow.

On Saturday, 28th June, we gathered to celebrate 3 years of Ongea Dada — a beautiful milestone in our journey of healing, empowerment, and shared sisterhood.

✨ Our theme for the day:
Mastering Financial Resilience – Part 2: Protect, Preserve, Prosper

Anchored in the timeless words of Proverbs 31:25 —
"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come." —
this theme reminded us that resilience is not just about wealth or income. It's about cultivating inner strength, protecting what we have, preserving our values, and preparing wisely so we can face the future with peace, not panic.

💬 We were deeply inspired by our guest speakers:

Mercy Kilili Munene, CEO of Shamba Connect, who shared practical ways women can create value through sustainable farming

Praxedes Kageha ,advocate of the high court and legal expert, who unpacked the power of legal literacy and protection in securing your financial future — including navigating succession and understanding the legal landscape widows face upon bereavement

With the Shamba Connect team, we got hands-on and practical:
🌱 Backyard farming using rabbit manure, red soil, and organic seedlings
🏡 Turning small spaces into food and income-generating gardens
💡 Building resilience through small, consistent, intentional actions

The message was clear: You don’t need big capital to make big impact. Financial strength is nurtured one step at a time — in your backyard, in your mindset, in your daily choices.

🙌 Come connect. Come be encouraged. Come grow.
As we continue to heal, rebuild, and thrive — together.

INTERNATIONAL WIDOWS DAY 2025 🌿
Theme: Uplifting Widows’ Voices

Today, we pause to honour and uplift every widow — women who have endured profound loss, yet rise each day with unwavering strength, quiet courage, and undeniable grace.

As a widow myself, and founder of Ongea Dada — a community born from pain but built on purpose — I know intimately the silent battles, the aching loneliness, the search for meaning and belonging, and the deep yearning for a fresh, hope-filled tomorrow.

But here is what I also know: Our voices matter.
Our stories carry power. Not just as chronicles of grief, but as bold anthems of resilience, hope, and transformation.

In that spirit, I extend a heartfelt invitation to all widows — and to women navigating seasons of waiting — to join us for the Ongea Dada 3rd Anniversary Celebration, a sacred space where stories are shared, spirits are strengthened, and sisterhood comes alive.

📅 Date: 28th June 2025
📍 Venue: PBC Eastgate
🕤 Time: 9:30 AM – 2:00 PM
🎯 Theme: Mastering Financial Resilience – Part 2: Protect, Preserve, Prosper

💬 “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” — Proverbs 31:25

Come and connect. Come and be encouraged. Come and grow — as we continue to heal, rebuild, and thrive… together.

📘 Joseph’s wisdom (Genesis 41:46-56) reminded us to save in times of plenty, prepare for the storms, and steward what God gives us wisely 🌧️🌾

Hello, Sisters!

The new year is here, and with it comes a fresh chapter filled with lessons, gratitude, and new possibilities! 🎉✨

For me, the year began on a poignant yet celebratory note—one of deep reflection, appreciation, and remembrance. You all know how much I emphasize attitude and perspective, right? Because life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it. The stories we tell ourselves shape our journey.

Around the third week of January, my family and I had the honor of laying to rest a remarkable woman—Shosh Monica, my paternal grandmother’s elder sister. She wasn’t just a relative; she was a force of nature, a living testament to resilience, perseverance, humility, and courage.

Shosh Monica lived to the ripe old age of 104! Yes, you read that right—104 years of wisdom, laughter, and grace. Even in her twilight years, though partially blind and facing the challenges of aging, she never lost her wit, her humor, or her incredible storytelling. She would captivate us with tales of her adventures—recounting her travels to Nyeri (Nyili in her own words), Thika, Kikuyu, and Maasailand. And oh, what a businesswoman she was in her prime!

But what makes her story truly remarkable is her spirit of resilience. About 35 years ago, she fell gravely ill, leaving her bedridden for months and unable to do much physical labor. Many would have given up. But not her. When she could no longer farm or continue her business ventures, she turned to her hobby and made it her hustle—weaving exquisite sisal kiondos, dyeing them in dazzling colors made from tree bark, and selling them in the local markets. She refused to let circumstances define her.

She also found joy in the kitchen, bringing her expertise from the hotel and restaurant she once owned. But what truly stood out was the unwavering friendship she shared with her younger sister—my grandmother. Their bond was a masterclass in patience, humility, and unconditional love.

Sisters, in a world that often measures worth by ownership and accomplishments, Shosh Monica’s life was a powerful reminder that the greatest rewards don’t always come from material wealth. She had no children of her own, yet she was never alone. She was loved, cherished, and celebrated by our entire family. Her kindness, gratitude, and grace attracted deep affection and loyalty—proving that a rich life is measured not just by what we accumulate, but by the hearts we touch.

So, even in the sorrow of her passing, I choose to celebrate her. 104 years is no small feat! Her journey teaches us that resilience is a choice, gratitude is a magnet for love, and joy can be found even in life’s unexpected turns.

And oh, did I mention? Her send-off was massive! 🎉 Despite not having a family of her own, the love she gave came back to her in ways she never imagined.

So, dear sisters, as we embrace this new year, whatever you do, remember the lessons. Live with purpose. Love fiercely. Embrace resilience. And always, always choose gratitude.

Wishing you all a year filled with joy, strength, and abundant blessings! 💖
