They said laughter is the best medicine

I’m the most playful in my family; always pulling pranks. A constant question I get from my brothers and sisters is , “What are you up to Waridi?” They laugh or smile even before I speak or do anything. However, sometimes I pull off a strict code of conduct and they think I have split…

I recently heard an African tale of a father, a king, a husband who had everything yet lacked nothing but happiness.

The first child bought…

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,…

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…

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…
