WISDOM NUGGET 💡

Hello Hello.. (insert coasterian accent, hehe! Mpaka the hand movement that goes with it. I know a mental pic just registered! Objective Achieved😋) Hope I had you at hello too😉😉😉 So, how you been? Tell me life is good with a little bumps on the road but you've got this? And if not, are you seeking help? Had you achieved your goals for the 3rd quarter of the year?

I'd be happy to read your responses) I'll start us off, just to get you a little comfy. Q: How you been? A: I've been quite fine to be honest. Distracted but good. Q: Tell me life is good with a little bumps on the road but you've got this? And if not, are you seeking help? A: What is life without speed bumps? So, despite the curve balls, I got a little bruised on the journey but I KNOW I've got this. Q: Had yo

In recent times I have realized I can be one hell of a cheapskate. I’m one of those people who will go to some interesting lengths for a great deal. No shame by the way! The kikuyu in me cannot, and I repeat cannot , let me spend more money than I need to. I will wake up in the wee hours of the morning to get the sale, panda a Safe boda motorbike to Kisumu for a deal, haha! I’m just being silly but I’m sure you get the drift. But as I write this, my hunger for good deals almost got me conned . Heh! Heh! Heh! Let me indulge you. My colleague had recently discovered a Facebook page called Jumuia that had really great deals on electronics. She knew that I was planning on moving out soon so she had to put a sister on. 💪💪💪. The Facebook page had a post that they would have a 7 th  anniversary sale soon so I was mad hyped. Mimi nani… I put some money away looking forward for the sale.   Earlier today (1 st July) they put up a post that they are selling a microw

I had a serious case of nostalgia and went back to read my previous blog posts. In hindsight I was subconsciously looking for what motivated me to write them and trying to understand why I couldn’t write anything to save my life lately. Haha! so relatable What I found out was pretty interesting... the blog actually gave me purpose, week after week, when I really didn’t have much going for me at the time.  If nothing else I knew for a fact my gifs and awkward stories would get someone laughing their a* off (parental advisory, lol). Or my moments of vulnerability would help someone understand that they weren’t alone in any way, shape or form; and it just took one voice to make them more secure in their situations or themselves.  So ... what was so different now though? I feel like sometimes life takes over slowly but surely especially when we let it. My lovely current boss found me with a novel at work and told me how she used to read them a lot before her cute boys came

Is  there something like too honest??? Or is it just something people came up with to protect their egos from reality? Honesty: A virtue so few have yet everyone claims to have it; A trait so many want to portray and act like they can handle it, yet are not emotionally positioned to take it from someone else; A trait that may often come out as rude and bruising yet the intention was pure Don't you just hate it when someone says, "chills for who?" yet for starters, you had no intention for the statement to come off so blunt even though you approve the message.. or is it just me? I feel like it takes away from the true intention of the message. Even though it may be trivial. Late last year I was invited to a surprise birthday party. Everything was going pretty well. Our hommie Omosh had whipped up some fire food.  Good music was playing. The surprise aspect didn't fail(Thank you God!). So it was time to cut the cake. We are all around the dinn

The millennial generation that we are in is the all-time consumer of the Microwave mentality. In 30 seconds we want to hear our microwaves beep with our Range Rovers outside waiting for us with little to no investment of any kind just because we are entitled little brats, hehe! The excitement before the unrealistic results that never come 😂😂😂 Instant gratification is a drug that has been force fed to us through social media if you ask me. We have been made to believe that we need to have achieved amazing and grandeur things right this very minute, whether we have the means or we don't. It has to be achieved by any means necessary. We buy things we do not need and can't afford, with money we do not have all out to please the masses and prove our apparent social standing. Doing it for the Gram, huh?! Where is the lie? The need for instant gratification manifests itself in more ways than one. It is the child of impatience, birthed together with comparison a
