BlogThe Journey

The images are always haunting. A mother trying to feed her young one the little she can. His body fragile, ribs bursting out of his young skin, crying to be fed. Dried plains, hopeless faces. Many others struggle in the dusty wind, trying to move, fend for themselves. They are mothers, they are children…they are...

The JourneyJanuary 12, 2017

Let me begin this post by thanking all of you immensely! In overwhelmed by the love and birthday wishes, from friends, family, fans. As I turn a year older I’m beginning to reflect more (if you’ve been following my posts you know what I mean!) and become for accepting of myself. It’s liberating and daunting...

I’m lying in bed, bloated, restless. I shouldn’t have nibbled on that plate of fries, then again I shouldn’t have indulged in a lot of things I’ve been eating lately. Emotional eating, they call it. An increase in food intake in response to negative emotions. So where exactly is this stemming from? I feel like...

By Eddie Ndichu It has been over 14 months but I remember the day vividly. I was escorted to the doctors changing rooms to wear pair of scrubs. I was shaking with nerves. I couldn’t feel my entire body as I changed. The thoughts going through my head were that this is really happening and...

We all want success. We all want to be better versions of ourselves. But how many of us are hungry and foolish enough to get there? To build our legacy? To prove the naysayers wrong? For the title of this post I’ve quoted Steve Jobs, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Apple Inc. So it is...

‘Have a teachable spirit; have the will to want to learn and to grow’. I wrote down this quote in one of my blog posts in 2015 and it still rings very true as I repeat it here. Teachability is what we should all strive for in 2017. It may sound simple enough, but it...

There are days when I struggle to be a mother because I don’t know if I’m being a good one. I doubt myself, I feel guilty, I get distressed especially when my son cries, helpless even. Even though I have a great partner in this journey, my husband, and my mother has been a great...

HOPEFUL

The JourneyJanuary 1, 2017

Happy New Year! How is it already 2017? But we’re here and we ought to be really, REALLY grateful. For me there’s a true sense of hope for what 2017 holds. There’s certainly nerves around it because 2016 left quite a bad taste in many people’s mouths but…out with the old, in with the new...

WRITE IT DOWN!

The JourneyDecember 31, 2016

Ah, News Year’s Eve, a time to look towards the  year ahead with a fresh mindset and noting down how best we want to improve. You know, those New Years Resolutions! One of the things I’ve found helpful during my motherhood journey is documenting my experiences. I started doing this when I was pregnant with Baby...

REMEMBRANCE

The JourneyDecember 30, 2016

2016 seems like the year that took; not a week went by when there wasn’t a report about someone dying,  at a rate that sent shockwaves around the world. Closer home, we lost my last surviving grandparent. Cucu was strong willed, funny and brave…I still tear up when I think about her because I grew up seeing...
