I began my 31st year on my period — cramps, bloating, and all. And honestly? It felt kind of poetic. Because lately, I’ve been thinking about all the things I want to shed in my life. Ideas that no longer serve me. Bad habits that pull me further away from God. Eating patterns that harm…

A few months after we were ordered into lock-down in March, I left my apartment rental in L. Kabete and moved home again, aged 29. It wasn’t easy deciding to isolate w/my parents, but with a serious drop in income , I could no longer part w/the rent expected per month and preferred to save…

It’s been a complicated year for sure. It started well. I was feeling good and life felt full of promise. I started 2020 feeling that this would be my year. Then Covid-19 pulled the rug out from under me and the entire world and we’re still dealing with it. Instead of being mad about it…

I’ve told myself I’ll move every year but never do. This past June, I finally made the big jump and got my own place. It’s a pretty spacious one bedroom with a good closet and a nice balcony. It was quite the journey and there were lots of steps involved but I made it! Moving…

I will be 28 years old in a few days and I have no idea what this age means. How has it been ten years since I graduated high school? How am I so close to 30? Craziness! When I graduated college, I didn’t know what my three year plan looked like, I knew I was…

I often think back to my earliest…

There comes a moment when we must leave the nest. The question “Should I move?” has always been in the back of my mind, but, for a while, living at home and saving my money just made sense. Plus, if I was honest with myself, the thought of moving out of my parents’ place usually…

I have been an avid reader all my life . I read a new book every month or so, which adds up to about 12 books per year. As a rule, I always read at least few pages every day. Often it is a lot more than that. I squeeze reading in whenever I can — primarily weeknights…

While I have been a voracious reader for most of my life, I have also been a movie addict. So, both books and film go back as far as I can remember, one an activity that I engaged in on my own, while the other has been a non-social, social activity (perfect for me, allowing…

I went for driving lessons after graduating high school, I was 18, waiting for my KCSE results. My parents wanted to keep me busy, so they suggested it, and I agreed thinking it wouldn’t be so bad to have a license. Plus the thought of all the money and time I’d save driving to school…
