This far i am, i still am.

This far I am…I still am. This nobody knows, myself i had zero clue, but slow by slow  there ...lied the revelation. The beauty of my life - my nature - my potential - my strengths - my beauty - my life.

This far I am…I still am. The beautiful picture, of life so far lived has entailed cracks, outrageous mountains climbed, but never came down tumbling. Thick bushes, scarily thorny  have been the constituents of my pathway but i overcame that. I’ve been down deep valleys, but never drowned in the oceans. Cried tears, but persevered the pain. Stumbled now and again, but rose up much stronger.

This far I am…I still am. I had to go searching; for strength, for motivation, for love, for a drive, for oil…to restart the engine that frequently died out. I didn’t find all this, because we don’t get all we want in life. I had to fight hard, try hard, pray hard, motivate myself and press on. In the event for the search of the good, stumbling blocks arose and not once was i not  knocked over....and so i  desperately needed someone to help me go through this.

I got someone.

I got two kinds of people in this walk, all wrapped up in one, of course to share my life with. To guide, crash, kill ....huh!?!, sting, love, hate, defend, advise, envy, protect, et al  in my journey that is now halfway complete??..Noooo...Just starting! LIFE happened and these guys by default saw the invention (invention??creation??) of two groups...no sections...no...i don't know the category!

FOES: You broke me, hated me, crashed my spirit, gave up on me, rejoiced at my fall, talked bad  behind my back, loved it when I shed tears and you're still gonna be there as much as my intentions are to do harm to none, give back to society, trust me-SELF and live life! You've just developed this attitude against me.
Do i object your choice to be in this 'group'? NO
Why? Because i have no control of what your perspective is about me. I cannot change that.
But you being there taught me that what doesn't kill me makes me strong. And that in life, you have to be who you're meant to be, and not what others expect you to be...period!

FRIENDS: You've been my backbone when my posture was shaky, you've been my crutch when my legs stopped moving and I'd live to spend my life loving the moments spent with you. So know this.....you're my drum..Please don't stop beating!

So now....these groups surround me and without them...life would be boring...so boring. That's why indebted to them, I am.
I Am Because We Are!!!
This Far I Am…I Still Am.

QUORA 3: STAKI MKATE!

Q: Has a homeless/street person ever refused food you've offered them? If so, did they provide an explanation? Well, well, well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, my fellow repeat readers or repeat clients, if you may! Today I have a short story to bless your eyes and ears. Will it blow your mind? Maybe. Will it give you reason to come back here and check out more stories? Definitely!  I assume that most of you my readers are Nairobi residents and if not, you've been here at one point in your life. This is a notably great city with beautiful people, a people with a culture so rich everyone outside it wants to come have a taste. It is a hub of 'unity', or so they say. It's here that the assorted bunch of the various tribes come to link up, all forty two of them. Our relatives from the rurals are fascinated by this city, no wonder they gather around to hear tales of its craziness every time  Nairobians visit home for Christmas. The streets, as usual, are ever buz...

What's success to you?

When I enrolled into University, my main goal was to succeed, that’s everyone’s goal at this point really. Time has passed by so quickly and the goal still remains the same. Many are times I tend to lose focus on this goal and I end up messing up big time. Life’s like a mountain, you’ve got to gather the strength to move up to the peak despite the strong wind that will try to block you from getting there. You might reach some point and get tired, or you lose the strength to move on but with your eyes fixed at the peak, all is gonna go smoother than you can imagine. But you've got to have the hunger to reach there, you’ve got to have the desire to acquire what’s at the peak, have fire in your belly, be proactive, strong-willed, optimistic and most of all prayerful. All that I think lies with what YOU think success is. There are gazillion definitions of success but I think every single person should have their own definition of this success we all very much want. What'...

3 Lessons at 3: What Marriage Has Taught Me So Far

Today marks 3 years since I said “I do.” Three years of learning, stretching, laughing, fighting, forgiving, and above all, growing (literally and figuratively). Marriage has been both beautiful and humbling. It has mirrored parts of me I never knew existed, both good and not-so-good. It has amplified behaviours I thought I'd perfected. It welcomed we and stopped me at the door with one question: "So you think you've got it all figured out, huh?" As I reflect on this journey so far, I felt led to share 3 core lessons that have stood out for me in this season of becoming one. I call them “3 Lessons at 3.”  - 3 years. Family of 3. 3 lessons.   1. Forgiveness isn’t easy, but it’s necessary Forgiveness for me has been so hard, I can't lie. I struggle to move on from an offense. It is one of the areas that still needs improvement. I hold onto offense for long and have a tendency of wanting to block and forget anyone who offends me. Marriage, however, doesn't give ...
