 There are those things nobody is going to tell us but we sure need them to stay put..Here is a list of some:- We can try so hard, pray so hard and wish even harder but God always has the final word. So do it all but take it easy, it will go the way God wants it to go.  Time moves so fast, we don't realize it until we look back several years ago. Be patient, try to be. If you've come from 20 years ago, 2 years to come should be a walk over. People will wish you the best, and do everything they can to help you but the ultimate task is upon you. You sit for exams by yourself, you wake up everyday as yourself, you breath on your own, you go into the labour room by yourself and even when we finally die we are off on our own. Its okay to depend on others for hope, strength and more but do not forget that you got to be strong on your own. Give a helping hand, give it your all, strive to make others happy but never ever do it expecting the same treatment in return. The truth is ...

  Obama's visit to Kenya over the weekend has left most of us inspired and rejuvenated to forge forward me included. Looking at a man who has a complicated history than what most of us have and yet has made it big to the point of becoming the most influencial being at the moment is'nt something small. In his own words he says, we can all make it far and wide irregardless of where we come from, who we are or what people think we are. The most inspiring bit about President Obama according to me is how humble and simple he is and how he relates to everyone around him. His look and response to questions asked tells so much about him, someone who has it all but that doesn't matter when it comes to being what he was made to be and relating to people around him. Enough said.     That brings me to today's topic, 'why you should not settle for anything less than what you want.' Where there is a will there is a way. The willingness and desire to achieve something makes y...

I read this somewhere, '' Unless it's mad, passionate, or extraordinary love, it's a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life: love shouldn't be one of them.'' I totally agree with the author. The things love makes you do, say, imagine or risk are amazing. That is my true defination of love, where you literally breath because the other person exists. Love is sweet, it hurts sometimes but today we are not talking about hurting, no..we going to be all about the sweetness that comes along with love.    When you are in love you wake up and the first person on your mind is him/her. You automatically smile and picture them right there beside you. You never forget to say thank you Lord for a new day because love makes you alive. Before you wake up, thoughts of time spent together cross your mind and you go over your shared photo albums over and over...just smilling. The connection is right there in the memories, they make you glow and look f...

  This is not funny. A new brand of men cropping up slowly or maybe they existed I just had no idea it's real. Ladies have you ever met men who believe in themselves so much that they know with no doubt, if they make a move you ought to respond positively by all means? Yes, men who for some reason believe they are the best in existence and no lady should dare refuse them! Hehehe its funny but its not really funny.    I think we all ought to understand that there is a clear cut difference between playing 'hard to get' and playing 'its never gonna happen'. And its not being mean no, this goes to both guys and girls me included. You see I can really really like you but its upto you to like me back. Somethings cant be forced, things like love, like, etc. One of the saddest feelings ever is liking someone who doesn't feel the same way towards you and am saying that from experience. Have you ever liked someone so much that you would take a bullet for them? ;-). Well ...

If you are looking for motivation to keep you going, to wake you up every morning and to make you strive better each day then look no further. You have your mama for all that. It doesn't matter whether its your real mum, an aunt who has been your mum, a big sister who brought you up etc. I mean a mother, a female figure that has seen you through your ups and downs, has given you strict rules to abide by, she quarrels you at the slightest mistake but still hugs you tight when all goes wrong.     Mums are extra ordinary, for a start they bare you for a whole nine months and do all that it takes to ensure you transit to the world alive and kicking. They love you unconditionally each day and watch every bit of you grow up from the tiny first tooth to the first words you say, they are there cheering you on. To them you are the most beautiful baby existing. When dad is not in the moods for diapers and napkins mum never complains. Out of that unique love and connection she has ...

I logged into my fb account today and first post I see is of a hillarious alert warning people of a lethal pickpocket at Kenyatta National hospital bus station. I  find it hillarious because the photograph of the suspected pickpocket marches the allegations. No offence but he looked like one. It got me thinking, why would someone settle for such kind of a job? There is need, we got to make money to survive but stealing is just way overboard. I have seen these thieves do their work so perfectly and act like they dont even know what happened. I have gone through the ordeal of being pickpocketed and have been told stories of how people lost their belongings in this way and IT'S NOT FUNNY.     The confusion that is felt just before you realize you've been stolen from and the shock and disbelief afterwards is not an intresting feeling to go through. You wish you din't go there, you din't use that matatu, you din't carry your fone, you din't take that seat next to th...

You have a rough week at work, deadlines to meet, projects hanging, workmates you just cant stand, crazy working hours and probably very little pay to show for it. Atleast you have something to do and somewhere to go to each new day you wake up, smile. It rained heavily the previous day but its shining today. You decide to put on this lovely white dress that is perfect for a sunny friday and compliment it with adorable heels. Your morning seems promising until you meet this crazy 'devil' ten minutes to your work place. He/she drives past you splashing dirty water all over your dress and face and ofcourse doesnt stop to apologize or atleast slow down to acknowledge it. Smile sister, the car did not hit you. You'll still make it to work alive. Your car breaks down in the middle of a hectic traffic jam. You dont even know exactly where the betry is and ofcourse the crazy touts dont even notice the Learner sign..they just wunt spare you. All the hooting and insults make you...

One of life's greatest virtues is positivity. Almost every event however negative has a positive side to it. Yes thats true we just need to think about it and decide to concentrate on the positive aspect. Some of the sad things that happen including death, loss of a job, a break up, being sick, getting an accident to name but a few teach us a lesson that could make us better.. Trying to look at the positive side of death is almost impossible especially premature death i.e. death before 90/80 years. Sometimes when you cant see the positive side of something its wise to accept the situation as it is and try find a way forward or a way of living with the truth. So many people live a devastating life by trying to cling to the past and to the things that are no more or have never existed. Wisdom in my opinion is looking at a situation, accepting its current state however hard and finding a strategy to make it better as desired. Thats not to mean we shouldnt cry or feel bad when things g...

Who will save us from the madness in the Kenyan Matatu industry? As citizens are we capable of making any changes? I personally have gotten into the point of joining abit of the madness, as the saying goes if you cant beat them join them. I made a resolution to complain less and act more but am not sure how I  can go about it here. All in all somebody has to hear our cry, there is little we can do individually but maybe that little can pile up and become something someday.     I know many would tell me to buy my own car but am nowhere near there financially and besides that more than half of Kenyans cant afford to drive so the public transport remains our main means of getting by. I've had nasty experiences with the matatu touts upto the point of wishing i owned a gun. Maybe I would teach some of them a lesson that money doesnt grow on trees. Today so many Kenyans will testify of having been robbed off by touts in many ways. Here are some of them;   Having to...

My uncle's birthday today reminds me so much of my childhood years.I grew up in the village, it inspired me into who Iam today and am proud of it infact back then when i was still a little girl i was the village darling.. I mean everybody knew me as 'mtoto wa madam'. I used to sell bananas to my neighbours and even those who had planted their's still bought mine because of the charming smile I offered. Given a chance now i would do the same thing all over, too bad we cant reverse years.       Back to my uncle, he is one of the nicest relatives anyone would have. Having an uncle as a facebook friend who sees everything you post ranging from 'hot' photos to tennagehood insults and he still finds you adorable and doesnt report any of them is quite something keeping in mind he is nowhere near your age bracket. Those uncles you would tell anything comfortably without fearing that they would judge you or scold you, thats uncle Nelson for me.       ...
