VISIT MYANMAR 🇲🇲

Kutembea kwingi kuona mengi. I was born on Wednesday, so I’ve learned by visiting Shwedagon Pagoda, the most sacred Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar. The stupa’s plinth is made of bricks covered with genuine gold plates of which above the base are terraces that only monks and other males can access. People all over the country,…

AMBITION WITH A CAUSE

Ambition is defined as an ardent desire for rank, fame or power and its what gets you and others with great a vision, to want to wake up early every morning. It’s a very powerful overwhelming force. But like any other formidable force it can be used well and to great benefit or it can…

CURIOUS MUCH

Curiosity killed the cat, luckily I’m still alive after opening this door. Turns our it was an old church. This building stood so tall I was unable to see the cross at the top, and despite that the locals still were welcoming. I do not speak Italian but we ended up laughing about the encounter….

WHAT WOMEN REALLY WANT

It’s a challenge being a hardworking woman, a challenge I personally accept because no one likes being broke. However, people will always assume you have everything hence ‘you don’t appreciate small gifts’ Let me put it out there; our sexuality still remains the same. We are still girls and girls love gifts. There isn’t a…

MOUNTAINS NEVER MEET…

Good morning, So I have been an avid traveler for the past…almost five years now and if there is one thing I have noticed, you tend to make friends everywhere you go. Whether you are an extrovert or introvert, ones upon a time you must have lost your way and asked for directions; thereby your…

HOW HIGH CAN YOU GET?

Fun fact: did you know that most people get high on learning? Shocking right? Yes of course. Learning something new increases levels of a a hormone called dopamine , an exact hormone released when taking certain drugs, such as cocaine. Interesting. Looking into my resolution, and a script for my YouTube vlog haha! So as…

SWEET FEW YEARS AGO..

So once upon a few years, I was a dance 💃🏽 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…

PRACTICE OPTIMISM

In arithmetic, 1 + 1 = 2. In life however, it can equal to zero…or a thousand or something else. We have five fingers on both hands, all important but unequal. Not everyone can be the same, not everyone can have the same experiences. Some are naturally lucky and some make it through sheer hard…

BE YOUR OWN AND OTHERS WIN KEEPER

It’s often said, No one will provide you happiness, power, success, you have to give it to yourself, take it yourself, provide it yourself. Maybe that’s true, if we lived alone in this world. I have come to realize one can’t achieve anything without the help of others. There has to be a few people…
