I am grateful

It has been a while since I wrote something...I guess its because I have been having one of those doubts every attempting writer with a young blog has..is anyone out there reading? Are the statistics real?Do I have an audience am speaking to? do they connect to every story am saying or am I telling the world stories only captured through my blind eye? but every time I put my heart to it, and I pour down the inner most feelings that  have and someone quotes me through a comment or drops me a twitter message telling me they want more, am encouraged....In fact am thrilled! I feel its worth my time and my effort... Today I am a grateful person. I did not wake up feeling grateful at all ! In fact, I woke up dragging my feet wondering what I had done to the universe that made it so angry at me and condemned me to hell. See, am a young person struggling to establish themselves in the career front. Someone once told me...

A step in the right direction??? The End and the beginning :)

I find myself posting mostly on Fridays...because nowadays Friday is the new day that gives birth to a lot of my dreams and aspirations..This week has seen me getting out of my comfort zones and trying different things I did not think capable of doing...thanks to the new changes of constant factors in my life...Its been one hell of a ride. Today marks the end of the Mr. Bad Ass series (its been one of those stories very close to my heart..I hope Mr. Bad Ass is reading this! It only means I will score some major point seeing as, I have almost presented him as a god among mortals hehehe) So where was I??? Oh yes the staring into my eyes...It seemed like everything had stopped around me, and that moment was crucial. I was going to either defy everything I believe in to go out with this man, or I was going to hold my ground and remain the girl I had been raised up to be...All I saw in his eyes was eagerness, anxiety,passion, frustrations ,HOPE....  that was what s...

A Step in the right direction??? THE PUNCHLINE

Its Friday finally!!! It has been a long week of de-motivation and back and forth  nonsensical stories with my employer. But am taking one step at a time with containing myself as the lady that I am and not loosing my head in the process. Lets just say I have decided to be on a permanent go slow until something is done to address my grievances :) apparently this kind of technique seems to work wonders in so many ways! ION I have been running a story in the last two articles in the year and the response has been overwhelming! I am getting a lot of people telling me I need to finish this story because they are dying of curiosity so am going to yield to their pleas and continue with where I had stopped from..So here goes nothing I boarded  the bus home after he walked me to my bus station. This time the hug lingered more,it felt  more engulfed with feeling and there was electricity...At least I felt it :). He told me "see you later" and let his gaze linger. I was shy...

A step in the right direction??? The sequel

I have lived through the first week of 2012...so far so good. I need to start making things happen and I have a feeling I will not have to wait much longer! Good things are coming my way.....So anyways lets get to the facts of things, this weekend saw me saying see you later to my BFF for at least six months, It broke my heart to watch her go off like that, since we became bosom buddies I have never spend so much as three weeks away from her, so am wondering how am going to stick this one out but somehow I know things will be fine, and she will come back to me a woman full of purpose and ready to take on opportunities presented to her.So I am happy for this phenomenal woman...a  woman I call my BFF So anyway due to public demand I will continue with the Mr.Bad Ass story...where was I? Oh yes he called..AND at that particular moment, time froze for me. I was hanging on every word he was saying, picking out details that were spoken with such ease...you know what they say,the devil ...

A step in the right direction???

Its a new year people!!! I am excited, am bursting with hope and life and expectation and I cant seem to really think straight because there is a lot on my mind. I have not blogged since last year and am feeling like I have let some of my faithful readers  down but this girl had a lot going on during the holidays :) I spend it with the wildest, most awesome, most grounded family I know-my familia and I was happy. For a moment there I escaped my life and just kind of free fell, and boy did it feel great ! Anyway that having being said, today I will let you on a little secret,(those little secrets that are often big news you know?)something major happened to me... something I had wanted to, even prayed to happen earlier but had given up on it and redirected my energies somewhere else. Sometime last year, almost at the very end of the year, a friend of mine invited me and my big sister to a party at Bomas. He had said he was going to meet his friend whom he ...
