Boot Camp- I almost didn’t make it

Earlier this year, I moved to Nairobi. One of the things I was most excited about while here was to join the Fearless Institute leadership bootcamp. Our orientation class was on January 12th 2020, exactly four years to the date, since I walked into that same space for my orientation as a Discovery intern. ThisContinueContinue reading “Boot Camp- I almost didn’t make it”

Tell your story

End of the year is usually a time of reflection. All of us have different views and approaches to this time of the year. While some are excited that it has finally come to an end, especially a year like this one, others still mourn its passing. One thing I like to do is goContinueContinue reading “Tell your story”

Shame Stories

“If we share our shame story with the wrong person, they can easily become one more piece of flying debris in an already dangerous storm.” Brene Brown (Daring greatly). I read this book a few years ago but it came to mind today as I sat in a matatu in the famous Nairobi traffic. ItContinueContinue reading “Shame Stories”

Random Questions…Part 1

I have had some serious writers’ block this year, and I really don’t like it. Isn’t it funny how when we are supposed to do something it suddenly doesn’t come as easy as it used to? I still have a few blog posts to deliver, and I reached out to a few friends to helpContinueContinue reading “Random Questions…Part 1”

Taking Stock- Part 2

Started writing this and suddenly it was too long. So here goes the continuation. The taking stock series are an idea of what it might look like when we pause to see what we are up to on a random day. For me, it leads me to ask questions like “what does this tell meContinueContinue reading “Taking Stock- Part 2”

Taking Stock- Part 1

HEY! Are you still there? I didn’t realise just how much of a toll this year has taken on so many of us, and specifically on me, until I decided to read a few of my journal entries from the past months. Weh!! And yet, even as I did, I also realised that there wereContinueContinue reading “Taking Stock- Part 1”

Your words matter- November Challenge

What if your life took the direction of your words? What if someone’s life took the direction of the words you speak to, about, over them (they don’t have to hear them for them to take effect)? I know, I know. You are probably thinking “Naaah, I am not that powerful”. And yet the BibleContinueContinue reading “Your words matter- November Challenge”

Love Notes… One of many

I am not perfect.I may strive for it, yearn for it, even dream of it, but I know I am not, in fact I never will be… Otherwise there would be no need for God to mold me. I am independent…or at least I like to think I am and do my best to beContinueContinue reading “Love Notes… One of many”

A work in progress…A story

So I am one of those weird people who tend to stare at people in public places (one of the reasons I don’t like going because this can make people quite uncomfortable). Why do I stare? I honestly do not know. What I do know is that there seems to be a process to it.ContinueContinue reading “A work in progress…A story”
