SWEET FEW YEARS AGO..

So once upon a few years, I was a dance šŸ’ƒšŸ½ teacher to 106 children between ages of 4-14 for a period of 5 years. I miss that. Today, having a photo session with a friend, I look back at my reflection, teleporting me to my exact expression when they would run towards me in…

TOO OLD FOR FUN?

Every 27th of December, my mom would take me and my siblings to mini amusement parks in Kenya, depending on which city we spent Christmas. We grew older, my parents and us living in different cities. However, we chose to maintain the tradition, 25 Christmas Day- 26 Boxing Day- 27 Family Fun Day. Anyway, nowadays…

THE TASK OF FORGIVENESS

It is often said forgive and forget, which I consider nonsense because we can’t swiftly program our minds to immediately forget the hurt or pain caused by another or circumstance. Swahili proverb, ‘Mwenye kovu sidhani kapona.’ It takes time. Let us be realistic, a memory is like a mark and we often tend to remember…

IF ITS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS, BRING A GIFT ALONG WITH IT

I’ll have you know I’m the best at my game, choosing surprise Christmas gifts for my family. Sometimes I would buy stuff they didn’t even know they needed haha! My sisters are the worst though, they would even forget their own birthdays… It’s still a shocker to me. However, one of the perks of coming…

SUPERPOWER

On this day, she bite my feet to wake me up from a deep sleep, then sang a song. This was an everyday routine. I didn’t sleep well throughout my vacation. I came back to work physically exhausted but mentally at peace. She climbed on my back and refused to let go when she saw…

THAT HALF FULL GLASS

Going through life being optimistic can be quite a challenge. It doesn’t always mean people like us are oblivious to logic and facts, we just choose to always see the glass half full than the reverse; and this kind of thinking helps us face life’s challengers and our fears. There has not been anything that…

PRE CHRISTMAS SPRING CLEANING

‘Things are fun but things don’t keep you happy for long’ This is something I was recently told by a friend. As I grow older I have realized I become more like my father, very materialistic, and don’t get me wrong. I collect so much stuff and don’t wanna throw away. Well in truth it’s…

SOCIAL LIFE PARADIGM

With the rise of so many self proclaimed influencers, I believe talking about this to be important. Let’s face it, social media is not the next big thing, it’s already big and sadly many live behind their phones or whichever gadget that can access the internet and loose themselves, or troll on others. If you…

TRILLIONAIRE NATION

Hello there. Spoiler alert, short blog post. Yes I read newspapers; a particular article caught my attention. Apparently despite numerous debts my country has, it’s taking another loan worth Trillions. Let me bring your attention to how it feels to be working in a foreign country. No matter what you do, your mannerisms and character…

STRESS CHECK LIST, AVOID BURNOUT THIS CHRISTMAS

Adulting has finally reached its peak, leading us to a constant work schedule, which is a continuous state of vigilance such that our bodies become immobile and only learn to relax once the situation is solved. Many a times I have heard, ‘ I have to finish this or that or else I won’t be…
