Turning pages...

                                                        It's all there...
 In  my  365-page book..
Stories that will leave you smiling,crying,laughing and maybe..just maybe,they  might  leave you thinking.
Words depicting stories written before the beginning of time,
Stories  defined by time yet bound by time.

 Each book i write, somehow gets edited...fullstops go missing and other times they magically appear bringing  one chapter of my book to an unexpected end.Sometimes those pages are dotted with exclamation marks of joy !!!!!!!!.While other times my sentences end in question marks??????????leaving parts of my story to the unknown.



 I guess the Editor knows how best to tell my story.
Some pages turn fast and others  turn slow, in the end i always have a story at the end of each chapter.
The words to my story keep flowing, as the beats of my heart keep beating...words written down in 365 pages.
I keep this book close to me, because it defines me...
With every pen-stroke i make, i realize the indelible ink i leave behind.
A page that's been written can never be erased..that's the beauty of my 365-page book.
The uncertainty that engulfs my stories is the magic behind this amazing 365-page book.
Each year am thankful  to my Editor for letting me  write another 365-page book.

 HAPPY 2014!!

The Man That Made Me Believe In Impossibilities

How do I write about a man whose loud presence can’t be ignored? How do I begin to describe a man whose life should be written down in volumes of books, a man whose battles and achievements could literally make you wonder why you have never tried out that daredevil in you? A man whose blind faith and roaring spirit will leave you believing that anything is possible, as long as you just do it! I have never written down anything much about my father, mostly because words won’t do him justice and because you need to experience him to actually know who he is. He is tough, he is loud, he is sharp and witty, he never gives up and he is simply my papa. I know I will never get it right when it comes to the adjectives that could describe papa, mostly because he is more than words. He’s the man who’s taught me to live in the moment, because we can’t really trust the future. A man who’s taught me to be witty, because sometimes you have to outdo the book smarts to survive. A man who’s ta...

Big Girls Don't Cry

Nothing kills me more softly than saying goodbye. There's  nothing good in goodbye, and there never will be. It's my humble request to revise this English word. It's easy to say goodbye but the feeling that comes with it is a like a slow blow to the heart. I may  be exaggerating the description, but truth be told, saying goodbye is hard for me. Case in point, 8 years ago, I began a tradition that I thought would make this heart of mine  tough enough to withstand the pains of goodbye. I could never stand the thought of saying goodbye to my sister at the airport. I was always the one person left behind at home while everyone else escorted her. The sight  of seeing her climb up the boarding stairs made the goodbye more real!! She was leaving me!!! In retrospect, my actions didn't  make sense because I still said my  goodbye at home. Lucky for me, no one bothered with my decision to stay. BooHoo!! I'm all grown up now and I wish I  had been there ti...

It don't matter if you're black or white...

" I AM NOT MY HAIR" ...."It DON'T MATTER IF YOU'RE BLACK OR WHITE" these are the words to two songs that have been replaying in my head since last week's The Trend Show with Larry Madowo.Social media was a buzz with Vera's interview and her confident proclamation of her body being her business ( makes you think what she really meant by 'business') In all honesty, am no fan of hers, but the interview and all the comments made online about it, gave me a lot to reflect on which led to an interesting conversation with Rodney Onyango.His take on the matter gave me new perspective and i admit, it kept me from being too judgemental.For more of his ideas, check out his link The Spectator Someone must really hate being black.50million! I could think of 50 million ways to spend that cash other than changing the colour of my skin.Anyway, who am i to judge when it's clear that we have different priorities, needs, wants and skin preference...
