Random chic in a not so random town

Helllllooooooo how does this thing work? Is anybody here? Is it broken  ? Is it alive? Does it remember how it used to feel after a great post published? The last time I attempted to write anything was 2014.. That was some odd 7 years ago...    I have since come to learn that 7 is the year of completion. Completion from what? We shall know in due time, but for now, I feel like writing something, anything....nothing! Times have really changes since then... Blogger since died (apparently mine is still alive) people don't read anymore (unless you write like Biko Zulu) and Vlogging has since become a thing... and let me tell you Maina, people are eating that up! Anything to get a like, a view or a share and Oh yeah, YouTube is now giving brownie points (those congratulation "buttons") for hitting a certain number of views and subscriptions. Video has become king and words... well words are just that WORDS... Begging to share the spotlight once again, begging for just a little...

I am currently listening to Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" and I am getting lost in the words...am getting lost in the space, into the unknown,into my little world full of so much love and light...   "Thinking Out Loud" When your legs don't work like they used to before And I can't sweep you off of your feet Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love? Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks? And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70 And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23 And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways Maybe just the touch of a hand Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day And I just wanna tell you I am So honey now Take me into your loving arms Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars Place your head on my beating heart I'm thinking out loud That maybe we found love right where we are When my hair's all but gone and my memor...

"HEAVEN I NEED A LONG SERIOUS HUG" This is what I have been feeling this past few weeks. I have tried carrying the weight of the world but I only have two hands. One head and one heart. I need to have wisdom beyond my years,I need to have strength beyond my tiny frame, I need to have resilience beyond my might. Sometimes I feel like sleeping and waking up when everything is over and my heart and mind are in the right place..does anyone else ever feel like this? Well if there is anything growing up has taught me is that it will not be easy...and words will only make you feel better for a while and that the waiting will test you beyond anything you will ever experience and that faith is personal and that nothing is ever handed to you on a silver plate...and that in as much as we may never understand what is happening to us now, its all worth the wait (I hope) "Who am I? What is my purpose here?Is there anything I should have done differently? Am I making enough impac...

So my fiance has been begging me to write something,anything! and I kept putting him off...the writing bug has not been around for a really long time and too much has happend in my life that I really did not have time to write. Its been two months since I have officially been back to work and its killing me! Mad respect to all mother's y'all! Now I know. Most of my peers have been sending me inboxes of late asking for advise here and there about motherhood and I feel really honored :) So in honor of that, I will document sneak peaks of my motherhood experiences the best way I know how (Darn! my writing mojo just went and dissapeared with the dogs....sigh!) a) Pregnancy I have to say this was the most beautiful part of motherhood for me and the most challenging. I vividly remember when I first got the results of my pregnancy test..FEAR,PANIC,HORROR were the words that were running through my head. I was barely out of Uni, with a boyfriend I had dated for about seven months,...

I have not written on this blog for a whiiiiiiile...OK even that is an understatement. I have not had the juices flow in a long time and things have been kinda hectic on my end. As is my tradition, Its almost end of year and I have several things to document...It is that time of the year where I reflect, think about all the things that have happened in my life and sigh*2012 has been a pretty good year! So first things first... a) My Job Have you ever had a love/ hate relationship with your job? Well, lets just say am one of those people. My kinda job is fascinating, mind boggling even...the kind of processes that go through getting work out are intricate and it fascinates me and some people are pleasent to hang out with BUT others tho! Enough said. That said and done, I am now permanent and I thank God for the far he has brought me. Building my confidence in my ability to be the best at what I do. God has been great. b) My folks/ Family There is a phrase commonly used that I tot...

I have been on a journey and it has been bumpy on some instances but mostly full of wonderful amazing moments:) Today however I have been touched by the many friends of mine who have decided to take the motherhood path at young ages while still pursuing their dreams at their careers and some in furthering their education. It’s no secret that I am attached to babies, and on this note, I will write a letter to my baby (however time you decide to come) and hope that someday, while they are trying to snoop and uncover my past, they will stumble upon this letter to them and realize that much( or not much) was going on in my head and settling in my heart...Here goes by disdain attempt at capturing those souring emotions, Dear Baby of mine, I am afraid of so many things in this life. I am afraid that I might not be good enough for you, I am afraid that in my attempt to rebel against how my parents brought me up, I might spoil you too much and veer from the path I should have t...
