Women's Lib' and all that comes along with it

Yesterday my mum and i were catching in the evening as she prepared dinner as we often do as it's just the two of us now and we got to talking about some recent renovations done in our kitchen. I mentioned the badly done finishing or more like the lack of it to my mum. Point to note here, i have some OCD tendencies and for those who may be reading and have no idea what that is, OCD is obsessive compulsive tendencies think of the TV series,' The Monk ' or 'Sheldon' from the TV series ' The Big bang Theory now mine is not at such extreme levels but i like things ordered, neat and in their place. Growing up my father used to say when you do something do it well or don't bother at all. This ensured that to this day i will not start something that i don't intend to see through to the end. So it was very irritating for me to see the fundi do some shoddy finishing and the few times i happened to be around i would always comment on it and ask for it to b

Life 101 or Como Todo Sobre......

Sometimes the hardest thing in life is knowing which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn.And sometimes a man can meet his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.if it simply comes all in the beginning it wouldn't be better. Deep huh.... I found this as a draft of a post that i started writing a few years ago and as much as i have a great memory (my friends call it elephant), i don't recall what i was thinking about or even why i abandoned it halfway. But since i started it and it was such a good beginning, it would be a shame not to complete it. Yesterday i left class in the evening, one of those classes where the lecturer is pretty cool and has a way of bringing to life whatever she is teaching and it was on family communication, which was pretty interesting considering that in church we have just finished a sermon series on generations, which is on family. So i got into a matatu immediately which is not often the case simply cz i never see the need to allow myself t

New Seasons- A reason to be grateful

It's been a long time since i wrote anything and a lot has happened in my life. I would like to think that i am wiser, as i am definitely older. Life has a funny way of creeping up on you and before you realize it, another month, another year year is ending.This is how 2018 has felt, it was January and i was busy celebrating a new year and coming up with well meaning new year resolutions and i blinked and it's the end of October. The main thing that i have learnt through it all is to savor the moments. To be grateful for the small things and the big things too, after all the joy in life is not to have many days but to have life in your days. Think about that for a minute..... We are often in a hurry and forget to enjoy the view on the journey. Being grateful is something we need to practice more of, it should become a daily habit. Don't wait until one is dead to sing their praises but tell them now while they are still around and able to hear and appreciate it. Take time t

Once When i was Little

i believed in a pot of gold waiting at the end of the rainbow. life was one big game or treasure hunt,and under every rock was a gem waiting to be discovered. Friends were easily made and friendships were forever. Got such a good feeling from playing in the dirt. There was nothing we couldn't do. I believed more then; i could pretend more then, that this life could only show me good times. I dreamt more then,i could be free more then, There was a time i trusted everyone, i wish i could recapture the innocence, the beauty and the wonder of it all. Once when i was little.

Headstones Pt 10

The green light was given and all the paperwork was finally complete. Kimende smiled as he perused the documents that Samy had delivered earlier. They were for his casinos which were now registered and according to Samy the slot machines and gaming tables would arrive next week. With a satisfied smirk Kimende reluctantly set the documents safely in the safe. He picked up the other documents on his desk which were the completed feasibility studies for his new enterprise.As well as all the necessary paperwork for the funeral home. Things were well on track with all the pieces falling into place. Ngoma had not failed him and he was now on the way to legitimizing his businesses. The transport business was off to a good start and the people of Matuu were so happy with the wells that his company dug for them that they sung his praises to all and sundry. Their first clients included a mistress to a local politician who had overdosed according to the medical report even though in reality she h

Our Love is Loud

The curtain falls on yet another year and marks the beginning of a new season the year 2010 no more 00.Heard someone asking what do we call this decade the tens?? coz before we had the 80s then came the 90s but after the millenium the confusion begun was it the 00s and now what is it. It was a tough year, challenging,happy and yet also a strange year coz not many things stand out sure a few big events took place but generally it feels and am sure many will agree it was a year that passed by in a blur. One day it was January and before you knew what hit you it was June and you were left wondering where did the rest of the year go to. We have learnt some hard lessons repeated others that we didn't learn our first time around grown both in girth for some of us and in grit hopefully everyone. Lost some special people both near and close. Bennie mac,the king of pop himself MJ and those much closer to home Nick you fought the good fight Priscila you were a bright star gracing us with you

I Carry your Heart With Me

This is the title of a beautiful poem written by EE Cummings many years ago yet his words are as real and relevant today as they ever were. Am not much of a poetry fan but occasionally one captures my mind and causes me to pause and ponder a common truth told in a fresh way or a new previously unheard of truth which broadens my mind. This is one of the latter an old truth presented in such a fresh way it causes one to be mometarily blindsided like a beautiful sunset or a genuine laugh hope you enjoy and savor it just as i did. remember the line from tyler perry's diary of a mad black woman what shemar moore told kimberly Elise. yeah it was there when he proposed and no am not nuts for remembering the lines. I Carry Your Heart With Me i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my wor
