I am sitting on the couch thinking whats with Mondays! Even when i had a free Monday from work, i couldn't shake that feeling, yea…that monday feeling that drags one around to laziness. If it was some years back, i would have spent all day on the couch either online or watching movies! But no, that kind of laziness i did leave behind some time back. Can you imagine i would just carry my blanket from Bed and to the couch and convince myself am having some ME time while i know i was just lazy! and not the lazy that some of you know, those who know me actually think am a hyper one and active, except my partner, she actually does know that side of me that lazies up! No, i have come to the conclusion that am not lazy, (consoles me haha)its just that she's much more active than i am. So..there you got it! all of you who think   am active, its only because you are lazier that me! so lets get off the couches!! I checked out the window to see clear beautiful skies and my Thermo read +...

They say 30 is an age you go through a mini-crises. Single people, especially women panic over getting married, getting children, having their careers on track, starting to invest among other things.But just because they say, doesn't mean you said! I think at 30, the most important thing is to have a happy, collected and sound mind. To be honest 20's is merely a rollercoaster, up and down, forward, backwards and sideways. 20's being the age in a woman where we are allowed to do many things in life without lots of things tying us down. In our twenties, we are students and most of us working as well, it feels like more of hustling and rushing life. We party, try to be trendy, multitask and end up dramatic. I have to say my early twenties were all that and thank heavens for late twenties where we seriously start to plan our lives and get a little more serious. Our hearts stop for a moment when we think we are soon turning 30. The big 3-0 as they put it. I attended wedding...

It's been a while since i wrote, and it feels good to write. It calms me and drains the ashes and wax after a candle burns out inside me. I am one of these beings driven by sparks, i love to explore and exploit thoughts and possibilities, sometimes i feel this small percentage of fear but no, not many moments do i want to let fear overcome me. I have learnt in courageous and passionate ways how to overcome fear. I hate the 'safe' zone, that zone where you settle because you feel 'safe'. That 'safe' zone to me is a dangerous one, it makes me feel like i am not living, like am hanging around and i can't stand that. Every time i find myself in that zone, i itch like one with scabies, i burn inside till it feels like am going to blow out!. I have to get out of that zone, then i feel like myself. Some people call it courage, others think i have lost my head, well, i just say i am living the best way i know how, i give every opportunity a chance, i push myself...

Some weeks ago i attented this work seminar about happy and healthy working. I had such a wonderful day that i felt the need to share it out and who knows, we might end up loving our jobs more or i might end up brightening someone's day and hopefully help in the situation with job disatisfaction. Let's be honest, not everyone loves their jobs(some are there because bills have to be paid or there was no other job available), and even if you love your job, not everyday you jump out of bed excited to go to work. I love my job but sometimes it takes real pushing to go to work.The other day, i was running to change after my shift, i ran past this woman and said bye, and she asked, are you always running like this to work in the mornings too?, i just smiled. Ha! you bet!!  I applaud everyone who has worked same job, same office, same people for over 10 years, wow! It takes patience for such. well, here are some tips i learnt that day and been putting them into practice. Le...

Five years ago, my country was up in flames! Reason being that a president had been voted in (or whatever happened that they found their way there). Sad thing is, the people who were in power, rich and protected remained rich and protected!. My fellow kenyans, lost their property, their friends, and their homes. They suffered emotional and pysical abuse that has affected their lives directly or indirectly since then to date. It is sad when we have been friends and neighbours long enough in life that it was ok just pop in unannounced and have dinner, to being the same people who slaughtered each other to death because suddenly we had realised that we were from differrent tribes or had originated from differrent parts of the country. We only realised the differrence after the elections!. We owe it to ourselves to think and analyse the gains we get from these so called politicians. Politics is the dirtiest game we have watched revolve in kenya, from politicians hating on each o...

Having recently visited home. I was quite excited, u know the feeling you got as a kid knowing you are going somewhere u anticipate! that's how i feel a day before i catch that flight to kenya. So excited that my one best moment was when we got to kenya soo drunk early one morning and sang the national anthem upon landing. Mind you, we sang the 1st verse perfectly then started mumbling after(shame on us) considering we stood alert for 8 + 4 years every monday and friday and sang that anthem! back to the list, honestly i have to learn to stop interacting my own stories. As i was saying, there are behaviours us as east africans need to get over or rather improve if we so need to be compatible with the rest of the world. my friends were laughing as i told them and thought i have lived abroad so long! truth be told, whether its being home they still distract us, yet we pretend not to care and live moss moss while we fu#%&N! oops, i curse sometimes! while we get soo pissed if w...

During the last couple of months, so much has happened in my life that am surprised! i mean i am very surprised with life and with myself! i have had some time to think and reflect and i realize i am b happy! I am happy with the changes and i can't have it any other way! no way! smh. How simple life can be if we let ourselves be what we want and do what we want without the what ifs and maybes! i know that we complicate our lives  and we are the only ones who can take charge of situations in us and change them for the better or for worse! Lets keep in mind as i have said before that we have one life and there is no sad life than to live unhappy and with regrets. Yes, we make many mistakes in our lives but those should be a stepping stone for the better, we break and we learn our own strength! Life throws alot on us. Things change in seconds just like it gets dark at night and then light comes in the morning. Say for instance, someone close to us dies, those who are left feel like ...
