SEVEN

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 attention and love...but don't worry, you still have my love 😊

Just like the blogging scene has changed over the years, so has my life! I have left advertising, did my stint at corporate, came back in to advertising and since left...I know! My head just spun thinking about it. I am currently on a sabbatical allowing myself to soak in the present as I figure out where I need to be next. I have since added another baby into the fold- a special little girl- who is worlds apart from her sister  but who taught me how to fight no matter how many things are stacked up against me- I had the toughest pregnancy with her- but she is here , 4 Years of laugher, joy and vivacious energy...A girl who knows what mindfulness is THE embodiment of it.

So...I got married to Mr X (😂😂😂) It has almost been a decade with him- this November- he tells the world just how lucky he is to have me as his wife and mother of his kids...because that man is lucky! We have had our fair share of ups and downs...both have been many....The lows have been really low and the highs have been magical highs. It has been an adventure doing life with him. Believe it or not, he has not lived up to his promise of buying me the that Jaguar (not the exotic animal), the other one... But I choose to look on the bright side ..at least he has lived up to buying me flowers every week for the past year, given me such beautiful babies, taken me on many magical trips and introduced me to myself- the bad, the good, the great and the damn right ugly- and even on days when I have found it so difficult to love the bad and the ugly, he has thrown his big strong arms around them and loved me through it...

Let us not forget the panorama...I mean pandemic! HEH! This one knocked us all of our game. The year was 2020, the month, March...Sema lockdown, sema not leaving the house without masks, sema sanitizer this, sanitizer that...we have suffered! But here's to trusting a faithful God that it will soon end. In as much as the pandemic was unexpected, it has really put my full reliance on God and introduced me to miracles. If it wasn't for Him...let me that say, I would have bottomed out for real ( but this is for another day, another article) I am just grateful that I have gotten a chance to write again...to breathe, to rest, to reset, to be...

There will be a lovely surprise guest writer on here, whose perspective on life is kick-ass...stay tuned... but for now...I am out!

Love you mucho!!

For old times sake :)

Juices flowing, fave playlist, Thursday that feels like a Friday and all awesome thoughts. I am making mighty milestones and I thank one God Almighty bana warrr I have come far :) Ok now back to the usual sarcastic me...A friend gave me a brilliant idea and I think I just know how to execute it ( Jose I wish you were here, one serious bitching session needed- like real soon, since you went to the UK you have become ooooo so very boring!!!! KIDDING) So I have had the privilege to have been in a girls' school for four long but very interesting years and truth be told I had some of my most incredible memories there. It was a roller coaster of hysteria mixed with just the right dose of  hormonal rages and plenty of Cabin fever scenarios :) :) As am writing the memories all come to light and  cheka like a stupid mama wondering why we ever made such a big deal of some things! (Jana we was just telling pops all the crazy "don't tell this shit" things we used to as kids and...

MOTHERHOOD 101- I am no expert!

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,...

2012 hasbeen one EFFING Good Year!

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...
