 Happy Monday!

I am a huge fan of Humans Of Newyork and so is the whole world.
Every time i log on to the page and read all the amazing stories, tears steam down my face, Honestly it's like an onion effect,
I am particularly loving the series on the Syrian refugees, It's such an eye opener.
I am reminded of just how blessed i am and how much God has spared me.

This morning i am grateful:

1. For the peace i enjoy in my country
2. My family is intact. healthy and alive
3. I can hear and recognise the voice of God
4. I can pray in holyspirit tongues
5. For my Man of God
6. For my job and my business
7. For  laughter and happy times as well as challenges and tough times
8. He who has promised is faithful to accomplish.

There is so much to be thankful for.. this is my particular right now.

Peps.

2 WHOLE YEARS...

The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself. ― C. JoyBell C.

My Blog turned two four days ago.
This came as a surprise to me, i was SURE i had began this journey one year ago.
I sure hope i do not turnout to be the mother who forgets how old her children are? *laughs*

How time goes by so fast when you are having fun?!

Two years back, i did it. I threw myself... lol.

I never imagined i would have so much to say or talk about.
Change has been the only constant.
Finding yourself in your writing is much similar to finding yourself in real life.
So, much so that you go through phases of insecurity.
Do the words flow? Am i making much sense? Will the reader like me? Like my work? Am penning my heart out for crying out loud! They better like it!!

It's funny how sometimes you are tapping wildly on the keyboard trying so hard to impress people you hardly even know. People who count without even knowing it?!

As i look back on this two year journey,

I have traveled much through words,
I have changed much through words,
I have shared myself through words,
I have learned to walk a mile in my own words,
I am so glad i threw myself .....
I am above and beyond greatful to everyone who has taken time to visit my blog.
Thank you.

Peps.

SENTRIMENTAL

“Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the center of the world.”
― John Burroughs, Studies in Nature and Literature

I wanna pinch myself.. then pinch myself again.
I am at the gorgeous Sentrim Elelmentaita Lodge in Naivasha for our annual team building.
After a twelve hour drive from Mombasa,we finally checked into this amazing hidden gem.

I LOOOOOOOOOOVE my room!
It has a balcony facing the breathtaking Lake Elementaita!
Its earthy.. and roomy ... and simple with wooden finishings. So ME!
Its feels like a sunny day tonight :) hehe.

I want a home that feels like a cosy hotel,
That i never get to checkout of,
I want an earthy, roomy, simple home,
With a breathtaking view someday :)

This morning i went by the Lake, all i could think of was how truly AWESOME God must be.
To curve the lake in the midst of all the hills in the background. How majestic is HE!
The thorn trees fit perfectly in the distant shores and the ridges add that touch of perfection. Truly GENIUS if you ask me.
I felt so small beside the Lake.
All my worries and doubts shrank, the majesty of my surroundings was big enough to drown all the negatives . Le sigh!
And the truth is God is bigger than that surrounding! So, how much more can everything disappear in his presence?! yep! FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

It's my last night. Am all packed up. Loved my stay.

 Christmas time is here again. My FAAAAAAVORITE time of year. *excited is me*
I am thankful for family, especially my niece who lights up our world, literally.
She is the BEST thing that happened to our family.
We are counting down to her 2^nd Birthday. Too cute :)
My Christmas playlist is synced ready to play on repeat till January 30^th . Officially that’s when Christmas season ends for me. No Kidding!
Am excited about Thanksgiving Service at church this Sunday & My Christmas Wrappers. Happy Weekend :)

HEALTH IS WEALTH...

“When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied.”  ― Herophilus

 

Health is Wealth INDEED!

There is nothing more precious than Health in this world!
Being down with illness is NOT the best experience anyone could have. You are basically tied down, you feel like  slave in your own body.
You cannot do the things you would 'normally' do. You begin to appreciate the little things that just make life meaningful e.g. getting out of bed!

Today, i am counting the blessing of HEALTH! here...here..!

The fact that i am out of bed, in the office working.. doing the things that i would deem 'normal' without a tinge or twinge of body ache = an AMEN to that!! :)

You never know the importance of staying healthy until you are NOT! 

I raise my cup of TEA  ... yes i said it my fellow Kenyans.. TEA with MILK .. lol!
We all know the woes of the mwanainchi have been raised a notch higher with the slapping of VAT on all essential commodities including milk, bread, ugali flour etc etc..

But, we are a nation of FEARLESS... we will not be shaken :))

A toast to HEALTHY

Stay healthy, wealthy & wise  :)
