SERENE

Life has become a run. A run that doesn’t seem to have an end, unless of course you breathe your last. I am very intentional when it comes to things that make me stop, breathe and be present. Things that involve adrenaline, or mysterious happenstance like sunrise or sunset at the beach; or in the city, The moon and the stars, the breeze, the clear blue sky. It’s in moments like these, that those memories need to come alive; and encourage me that this cold morning shall come to pass :D
A warm hug from a friend this morning would do too, or a genuine smile from a stranger,A random blossomed flower, An mpesa message from someone who owes me money :D , An unexpected public holiday LOL! Ok, i should stop now; there are so many things to be grateful about out here though.
So, I thank God for friends who travel, that's how i have managed to feel like I was at the coast, just the other day!

I Love you!

"I love you" A simple three letter sentence that I have noticed I struggle with. I have come to this realization because as my daughter is growing up, I am often overwhelmed by the feeling of love and I want to tell her  that I love her, but immediately I am about to whisper it to her, I break into song. "I love you, you love me we are a happy family with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you won't you say you love me too?" How African and conservative is that? When my husband sees me talking to someone several times he assumes I have become friends with that person. So, when we are talking and he happens to mention, I saw you have been friends with so and so? I am usually appalled and I get defensive, "Who, me? No, we are not friends, we say hi to each other and do small talk but we are not friends?" Let me bring home the connection, this shows I have some major trust issues. It takes forever for me to actually call someone my frie...

The last time we checked my career status, it is totally different from what it is now. I sat down, went through an overhaul; ok i'm exaggerating, it is not that different but it has some personality now, I must add. Whoever said,  "it is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects." I know in my previous post i mentioned the life and the growth; Now as i write this, i just feel like we just  go round and round. The tip of one thing is the starting point of another, there is always something around the corner. (I have totally digressed). Back now to what I really wanted to write about.  As the days go by, a lot changes, some good, some bad, some hurt, some not so much; I have met ne...

ONENESS

a few days back i was woken up by a phone call from my mum, as always started with, "are you still sleeping?" and its only natural for me to tell my mum the truth so i go like, "mmmh" and she burst out with, "aren't you coming to the funeral? how many times do i have to remind you to show up for events like this and show other people that you care? after that there was a click! so i dragged myself out of bed and woke up the rest of the house so that we could prepare to go for a funeral of some neighbor/relative by marriage. We reached there when the service was in session, and the multitude that had gathered was moving. There was an unwritten agreement, there were some people that were very sad and others who were even drunk, there was a loud quietness and there was a rowdy gathering of the young idlers of the area; some of the estate dwellers got time off work to just show up for a short while for the funeral. When it was time for the saddest moving bit;...
