Pictorial Representation of Natalie's Week It is yet another week and all prospects health wise look really great. I have had one of the best weeks and I do thank God for this. I however had an experience this week that I thought I would share; it made me have a terrible headache on one of the days this week. It also taught me a lesson on never to judge people by the cover.

Deep Think  ~ Pete . A "... We spend more time judging ourselves, feeling the guilty, thinking of what everyone else will say about us,wasting time, precious time in the process  ..." I said to her and remember (Quoting Swami Vivekananda)  "Anything that makes you weak physically, intellectually and spiritually, reject it as Poison." That includes a past life that keeps on haunting you . June looks at me perplexed; guilt written allover her face, before me is a helpless lady, suffering from guilt of her past life, a life that saw her live like a queen, moving around with the high and the mighty, spotting expensive attires, high end electronic gadgets, driven in state of the art expensive cars, spending weekends in high end resorts and beaches. The life that saw her, look down upon everyone, the life that saw other ladies want to be her, the life that is now haunting her, inflicting her with internal suffering. Guilt! But, Pete how can I supposedly walk thro...

In my journey I’m seeking to bring out the fire within and be the very best that I can ever be. Awakening Fire Within  I now had six months of medication intake nonstop until when I could get better. I was given some very strong painkillers and some blood thinners. Blood thin...

Through it all, through it all, I have learned to trust in Jesus, I have learned to trust in God, through it all, through it all, I have learned to depend upon his word....." Andrae Crouch's music hits my ears as I write this article . Deep Think With Pete. A "... I am through with college, been tarmacking for the last 5 years, I am the firstborn of a family of six siblings, some in high school some waiting to join college, I am their only hope, I am their only breadwinner. God, where are you?" "...I recently got a job, after years of hustles, after years of suffering, after years of hardship and hard work, but just the other day I lost the job, just when I finally saw light at the end of the tunnel, just when I had great plans for my life. Is there hope in this world? "...I have a sick patient who needs medication out of the country, millions of shillings are needed, my family can't raise that money, the patient is in great pain, each...

(Raising the back of my left hand up and pointing at the ring finger). Have you found her for me...? Remember we had a deal, or we still need to kaza maombi (Pray hard)?

Don't forget the Okoa Jahazi bills and the blacklisting from M-shwari.  This is life in the city, this is the real struggle we undergo in the city, you got to work to survive, you got to work harder for the city to accept and accommodate you. But now we are going back home, home where we belong, home where its, wake up, eat, hang out with you cousins, uncles, aunts, etc. Home where there's food in plenty, no hustling, no spending home s...

My Diaries 1. Author: Bree.K From my diaries, about Mind Games, and how the modern gal and the modern dude wanna control each other... Let me get this right, so what’s bae? Is it an acronym that stands for ‘ before anyone else ’ or the shortened version for baby or babe? (according to google). This word lost meaning to me after my last encounter in a  situation-ship , lol, let me just say the last encounter with a guy I shared most of my teenage memories with. (You know those stupid happy lovey lovey moments, when you are this hot high school gal, that every Tom, Dick & Harry is yearning for?) Story for another day... to be continued ... Back to mind games and I stand to be corrected; I don’t think anyone in my generation still believes in marriage...(Can't believe I just said that) Dating has to be the sweet-bitter experience, yes we hang out, take selfies with the magic selfie-stick, post them on instagram, create love stories with them on  snap chat ,...

"You ought to read the stories of how people have endured worst situations, You will find strength to survive life, you will find strength and power to overcome." I said to her. "Now, tell me, who have never been knocked down by life's circumstances?" Tell me any, "It takes grace and enough strength, to get up and begin again, to get up, stand strong, and be counted among the conquerors, among heroes of this World" I concluded.  This is a real life story of my friend Natalie (Not her real name), Apparently, she wants the world to learn from her experience, but she is not ready to reveal her identity because her "Battle has  just began" but in due course her identity will be out. Natalie's Painful Journey as told by her:- Photographic Expression of Pain We all live in the hope that one day we will be able to accomplish our dreams and live a better life. When we wake up every day we always anticipate that the day would be b...

"Love is the 7th sense that destroys all the six senses and makes the person believe nonsense" ~ retorted one of my friends who had just come from a bitter argument with her fiancee. "Our love is like the wind, I can't see it, but I can feel it" She had once told me this and true to it, Ashley  and Brian, were the best couple I have ever met. Cheerful, always smiling together, in fact we all used to envy their love life. That's why on this day, I was surprised to meet Ashley alone on my way to Church. Normally, you could find the perfect couple dressed to kill in matching clothing, walking briskly to church. What more could a man ask for? Ashley, where is Brian? "Its a long story Pete, we need to talk after church.At this juncture, I knew all was not well. So I offer to buy her lunch cause I wanted to hear the long story. We get into this restaurant she seated across me, I look into her eyes, and the only thing I could read was a broke...

Posed by Models "...Its over between us Pete..its over." She shouted over the Phone and hang up! You see Tinna had been my gal for sometimes now, and yes I loved her so much and could not imagine that one day, these words "It's Over between Us" would come to pass. But on this fateful day, I am seated in my living room watching a movie as I tweet and make updates on my social platforms, then my phone rings and yes "Bae Calling" .. So I pick up the phone, pause the movie and with a cheerful voice I say "Mambo Mrembo..."( more or else like saying, ''hey cutie ..") Little did I know that "Mambo" indeed was going to be mambo. We had been having some issues in our relationship, for sometime now and had not found time to iron them out, so I knew she was definitely calling over that topic. So I wait eagerly and alas, I get a reply that clearly tells me "seat upright, cause this is going to be one very long call...

A Happy Family! "...I will do all I can to keep my family intact.." a colleague once told me . So on this day we are out for lunch, me paying for a promise of lunch. As we discuss other issues, this topic of recent rise in cases of domestic violence and marriage break- ups, comes up. Several marriages are breaking up at a supersonic speed and the main course being one. Mpango Wa Kando (Side Chic/dude), .. A story is told of a friend who swore never to get married again after she found out that her man, her husband a believer had been keeping a side chic for the 2 years of their marriage. That must be painful eh?! On confrontation, the man blames the chic for tempting and seducing him.. (this must be the joke of the year). Listening to my colleague narrate the story as she curses and swears to do all she can in her powers to keep her marriage intact, I suddenly get lost in my wonder world wondering what is becoming of the institution of marriage. Just why can...

In Her Own World Life has always been a journey, a journey with lots and lots of challenges. A journey with both success stories and failure. A journey for the strong and the weak where time and chance happens to both but only the smart ones sail through. Look, on this journey of life, in my daily hustles and bustles, I meet lots of people, people who have had positive and negative impact in my life, in equal measures. And NO, my story is not on that line. My story is on "HER." Look, on this day I am walking out of my place of work and I spot  HER. You see, men can point out pointees amidst the crowd. True story; a pointee is a pointee if only she behaves like a pointee... so here I am stranded looking at this pointee, and yes, magic happens I get a smile. True to my male genes, by a split of a second I had her phone number, I had her name. Bingooooo!! I just scored. Couple of days later, thanks to WhatsApp, we were best friends, just like that, that's how it...

Love Behind The Curtains ~ Was it LOVE? Over the window, I saw Love, behind Mom's Curtains was the hidden heart full of love. Love for her, love for the queen. Love that remained lost and hidden in my heart. Beyond the curtains, there lay my love. She was hardworking, waking up each morning to wash the dishes across our house, Tinna was the queen, and I was the prince, the prince who sacrificed to clean the house each morning, just to have a chance to rush to the window, to watch Tinna. Each time I saw her, my day was complete. My glance at her, re-energized me, the glance gave me hope, hope that Tinna was mine, hope that Tinna and I could make one hell of a family, hopes that remained just that. HOPE!. How unfair can the world be, each of my morning only gave me a glance at Tinna, each morning I hoped she would look at me and smile, she would look at me and blow a kiss, just like they do it in the movies but each morning the devil won, coz each morning she only washed...
