#10YearChallenge


1. The year is 1993. Kid so small, soft & sassy everybody probably wanted to carry me at this point but I was always like... "Naah, Nebuchadnezzar Oludhe, talk to my mama first! I don't roll like that...Chill...🧐🙄😈..." Kid is less than a year old but kitambi already showing like WOTAHELL?? 🤣👨‍🎤 I wonder what those people were feeding me. Kid looking like Tinky-Winky the telly-tubby. Who even does that to their own child? God's child in fact! 🤔🥵🤟 Photo-man said 'abujubuju...gimme smile Toto' and kid was like "YUP, I just pooped a gudu one but let's keep thing moving...mama needs family portraits!🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️"

2. The year is a number I've forgotten but it's somewhere on the calendar, teenage years. Christmas Day! Schools closed kids taken to reserf for the holz az-in holidayzz. Holiday with a Z, sound cool with that, yes? 🤩🤣 Baby girl has on her best dress - she'd almost slept with it on but mama's eyes said "DON'T provoke me, nyako!" so she didn't. Only things running through my beautifully structured mind is left-over food, and nothing else I swear.

3. The year is 2007. One of the most trying years of a gaochaod's rife. Hii shure watu marikua manakura mushere kira siku. Gumutu gulikuwa gunapanganga line ya kuenda PE - private school shenanigans🥴🥴, lakini ikafikeko siku moja gutoto gwa Lenana Slums makafukuzwa makaabiwo manaona machetani, B.O.G/P.T.A makasema wao manafaa kueda home - for Good. Hennywayz, despite trials & tribulations, this child still made it through it manze...maisha ilikuwa inakam na mastrikes kama za Harry Kane kwa game ya jana 🔥🔥💥⚽️, lakini mimi naniiiii???? De Gea pale...Block! Block! Block! 90 minutes zikaisha mrembo aka make it to the next level. Hapo ndio nilijua Jimmy Gait hakutudanganya aliposema "Make or make it."

4. The year is 2010. Mtoto anadimbua mkate kudimbua! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 mkate full ka mbili per day! Msupa anakula githeri round kadhaa utadhani amepewa tender ya ku-chew githeri High School 🤪🤣😂🗣. Msupa ako holiday hakuna kucheza na watu...ni kusoma na kukula tu. Hapa hata sikuwa najua gym ni nini. Haribu jina jenga mwili...Alaaar!!!! Zagadat! 🤙🖖

5. The year is 2011 - ish. High school ashamaliza. Attitude iko hukooooo Timbuktu. Siste hashikiki, tuhaga tumemea sasa watu hawapumui 🤣🤣🤣🤣...attention ndio hiyo, girlfriends ndio hao kuchochana kwa hostel HHFL, kanywele ndio hako kamekwom na ubaya - ndio hao machali wanajaza simu na "Xema Xwirrrrrry Ule Mhot wa akina Baros?"...Mresh saizo ni "I miss yew tew" ndio zake. 😄🤣🤪 I'm glad I outgrew this stage of my life why lie!

6. The year(s) is 2012 to 2016/7/8. Picha ya hii haiko hapo, mdaku wewe 🤣🤣🤣. This was when a gal was going through transition. A gal developed. A gal approached the god of many faces at the Free City of Braavos and came back taught! A gal was Mercy, of House Stark. 🤺🤺🤺 

7. The year is 2019. A girl is Khaleesi. The Bantu Dragon. A girl now files tax returns yo! A gal complains when a makanga pretends that they are looking for change while in real sense they want her to forget the cash-money! - HAIWEZIII..🤣. A girl is hustling through life with a smile & step at a time. A girl is the life of the party. A gal toto is ouchea 🤣🤣..Oucheea looking to try out sky-diving in the near future. Who'd have thought? 🥶🤪 Food's her bestie still. Forever have, forever will. For shizzle, my nizzle! 💋💋 

Peace out! xx

HAPPY 2019!

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 ...

Motivation 2

With this topic, you know the norm right? I share some quotes I've come across that make some sense to me, well, because not all do. Picture quotes are more interesting to look at and so they'll take most space in this particular post. I will be overjoyed is you left a comment, maybe share one quote that keeps you going? Enjoy!  “It's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me." ~Warsan Shire. “Don't assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don't say anything you can't stand behind fully. Have integrity. Tell people how you feel.” ~ Warsan Shire. “Perhaps, the problem is not the intensity of your love, but the quality of the people you are loving.”~ Warsan Shire. "A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy; a wise womanrefuses to be anyone's victim."~ Maya Angelou.  "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time....

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 lik...
