Who I'm I?

-
I am a woman with a hearty laughter, a mother to a stellar girl and wife to an incredible man. I am social bird that still values her peace & quiet, a goofball who's easily the life of a party, girl with a creative mind, happy-go-lucky & one that, I admit, loves to live life to its full because life is for the living - and I desire to be counted among this lot! I enjoy being around people but recently found out that  I fancy my alone time more. For a long time I thought I was extroverted but keenly looking back at my mannerisms, I concluded that I am more introverted than extroverted. The famous 16 Personalities test also confirmed this.

I love telling stories as I relive moments and capturing them when I can. I find writing and journaling quite therapeutic and so I do it as often as I can. I get lost in prepping a great meal for my family so its safe to say that I enjoy cooking. I might not be a world renown chef but sure can whip up a decent family meal. Music adds rhythm to my life, I live for it albeit my genre interest being fickle.

Youth mentorship and community outreach is at the core of who I am and as a result, together with my husband founded Stellar Generation Kenya; a mentorship & empowerment initiative for teenagers and youth. We strongly believe that a generation that precedes another have a great responsibility to pass down acquired knowledge/wisdom to the generation behind it in pursuit of making the world a better place. SGK provides a platform where individuals who buy into this narrative step up and bring this to life.

I haven't the slightest idea why you are here today but either way...

Welcome to my nest!

ROOFTOP

-
After exactly 3 months and 11 days, today I went back up the stairs to the rooftop of the apartment we stay at. Trembling and shaking, I kept taking a step after the next hoping to get to the top. Several times I kept thinking, …why go? …but kept at it regardless. On this rooftop, I had set a very calm meeting place with my Father. For about 3 months leading to the delivery of my darling baby girl, I'd come up here, do some simple workouts but most importantly have a daily tete-a-tete with Him. I couldn't and still can't wrap my head around the fatigue that comes with the 3rd trimester and rightly so, many times I contemplated not going up there. What made me keep up with the routine was the fact that I knew He was waiting for me and was eager to talk about how far and smooth my pregnancy journey was.   We'd talk about my hopes, dreams and plans for baby in my tummy. We'd discuss my maternity leave plans and among other things mostly just sit in the silence of dawn

The world didn't quite prepare me for the experience that came with this phase of my life. I boast occasionally of how easy it has been for me to grasp and adapt to changes in my life but this one, naah ...I had to readjust, relearn and extensively educate myself. What I'm I talking about, you ask? Motherhood. I am writing this while on my 3rd trimester; 35 weeks & 6 days to be precise. The once subtle baby kicks are now more defined you'd think the baby's made my womb a mixed martial art ring. It feels heavenly every time it happens and I am not joking when I say that I live for them kicks...I could be having a really crappy day but anytime I sit and the kicks intensify, my mood instantly changes!  The reason I started by saying that the world didn't quite prepare me for the journey is because with my many years of schooling and seeking knowledge, I realized that I didn't know much about pregnancy. I was never taught about what to expect in any of the trime

MY VALENTINE

My darling husband 💖, You were worth the wait! Remember when we were just friends, the first time I told you that I have a personal blog; a haven I occasionally dump my stories & thoughts?...to which you carefully listened then asked: “Will you one day write about me on your blog?”  I laughed!! I laughed so hard then told you how for you to feature in my writing you’d have to be out-of-this-world special to me ... to which you thoughtfully responded: “Mercy, never say never!” ….. and then went on a mission to overturn my entire life!! You clever, genius hunk of a man! 😉😉 I’m here today to categorically say that a blogpost is the least of what you, my elusive leading man, deserve! The universe kept saying “The right person will show up, find a path into your heart and know how to hold your love with all the delicateness it deserves, choose you just as deeply as they choose themselves and as you choose them, reciprocate your vibe, match your energy and never make you feel like yo
