Happy 22nd birthday to me!

I turned twenty two. Panic-mode bado haijafika; I'm still in that age bracket where saying my age out loud ain't a big deal. Tukifika hio time, ata FB hakutakuwa na notification ya birthday... :)

As much as i would've loved to put on my dancing shoes on and dance off the day 'happily', yesterday provided no such opportunity. I had an extremely busy day but of course there are friends who made it special for me; as should be the case!

It's a new year for me; a new dawn I'd call it. Why? Cuz i hope the days after today become just that; a new dawn: the first appearance of light in the sky before sunrise; the light that God's going to direct my way, I pray.

I know not, what lies ahead of me.  I know not, what plans he has for me, but with faith, I'm assured that he has the best plans for me. I'm certain that my story is not just a regular story, but a masterpiece; one that will inspire others coz this author who sat down to compose it , is one mysterious writer whose omniscient and has my best interest at heart.

Life has happened;  friends coming and going, passing and failing life tests, smiling and frowning, laughing and crying; yes, all these among many others, and in all circumstances a lesson was learnt. I leave all these behind and start off a whole new series of the same things, but now in a better way....that's what new beginnings are all about right?

In that regard, I want to thank every single person; be it my closest friends, my 'social sites' friends, colleagues, neighbors, siblings, classmates, partners-in-crime, etc,who took their time to wish me a happy birthday! It was indeed a happy day for me - It had to be great by all means!!

Sasa, to finish this post, lazima i give credits to my mom and dad...thank you two for bringing me into this world. Ya'll are in a better place. This woman you raised is kicking ass and is gonna make ya'll proud in absentia. You raised a queen!

At least today i had a reason to put up a post!

xx

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 ...
