What's your motivation to wake up in the morning?

Many of the mornings when I leave home after 7am there is this group of young men who are always lazing around the neighborhood’s “jobless corner”, commonly known as "Kijiweni". When you look at them, it seems like they really have nothing better to do with their lives. Every time I see them "wako…

First step towards healing and restoration ....

Honesty is a fundamental ingredient in life.  It comes into play majorly especially when we make mistakes in life. My quote for the week boarders around honesty in relation to these mistakes we make in life. "Although we all make mistakes in life,  the situation could be changed if we…

Is it true that the Grass is always greener on the other side?

The other day a former colleague contacted me telling me he was looking for a job. Considering it has been a long time since we communicated, I was instantly concerned thinking he had lost his good paying job for some reason. Having made that assumption, I opted to ask him what had happened to his…

Don't judge anyone; unless you are looking for an opportunity to regret

I have to admit that God is very patient. I'm not saying this because today is Sunday and my pastor maybe reading this paper, but I say this because I think human beings are very complex beings; hard to please, impossible to understand and sometimes ridiculously inhuman! But despite all these…

Sometimes, it's all a blessing in disguise

Do you ever go through some days that make you wonder who had conspired with who to drive you insane? Well, that's the kind of day I had on Friday 5th July, 2013. To start with, I woke up to realize that none of my phones were working; sim cards weren't registering to their respective networks. Why…

What position have gadgets relegated you to?

There is this Technology handle I follow on Twitter called @TechwalkTz, and its subsequent Facebook Fanpage also called Tech Walk.

The Power Of Goal Setting

It was supposed to happen on the 12th of July 2013 but due to some unforeseen reasons it did not happen. It is back again and this time it will be on the 24th July, 2013. Make a date with us on that day and get an opportunity to listen to inspiring real life stories from people who, figuratively…

Sometimes, all it takes is one gesture of appreciation

For the past two weeks I’ve been suffering some serious migraine attacks, and even though I have been taking anti-migraines, they seemed not to want to work. It is for this reason I found myself at home for the better part of the week, nursing my head. I’d like to think we live in a very quiet…

Stinking Thinking

There are some days when I just don’t feel like leaving my bed, not because I’m so sleepy, but simply because the prospect of dealing with the same people, the same situations, the same attitudes over and over again kills my mojo. I don’t know when or how but majority of the people I come across on…

Hey "Lady". Come back and flush the toilet.

It’s the first Monday of June 2013, and I’ve just arrived at the office after spending a great deal of my morning in traffic caused by drivers who seem to have taken e-driving lessons (probably via Google). As if the traffic is not enough to drive me insane, I have to go to the Airport to deliver a…

Beware: You are now entering enemy territory...

It is official: Thursdays have become my “lesson-learning-days”. It seems that every Thursday something happens to me that touches me so deeply that I find myself compelled to share the experience with my readers. This last Thursday I was alone in the office over lunchtime, when a stranger walked…

The Quiet Power of Rising
  The last few weeks have been… a lot.  I’ve been on the road and in the sky—between cities, between countries—juggling assignments, battling changing weather conditions that swung between 11°C and 25°C, and trying to keep up with it all.… more
