30 Years Old and Lovin It...Four Months On

Wow so I thought turning 30 was daunting, it was! I knew it would be scary! It was at first but I am totally loving it, my body, my life, my family and friends but most of all I LOVE ME!!! THE WAY I AM AND KNOW I AM ENUFF!!! so it took watching Oprah farewell a few months ago and heard a father talk of what he learnt from Oprah Winfrey's show and passed on to daughter, and it was poignant. "I learnt to tell my daughter you are enough the way you are."
So armed with that quote resonating in my head, the light that had started lighting in me, became brighter and I decided, I know who I am and My Purpose and thus God has put me on this earth to do something and I started my Movement.
If I am where I am, this journey that started on January 2009, and have made it then anything is possible.
My new close friends noticed the change and growth in me, my family was a bit wary wondering okay There She Goes Again and I say Yes but this time around my work and impact shall speak for themselves.
For once I was not the one in crisis or having drama, but I have evolved into a confidant, mentor, teacher,life coach, and much more.
This new light has spilled over into my ever growing networks, career and as I shall soon mark one year in on-line news, wow is all I can say. 
As a woman we were many hats that we forget to wear the important one: Ourselves and end up losing ourselves striving to please others, society , norms, superiors, children etc. I now know in order for me to be a well adjusted woman and be the daughter, friend, mother to be one day, wife to be one day, career woman, it has to start with me and I have to work on me.
Gone are the days that it is ok to sit and be handed the life you think you deserve, you got to go out there knowing what you want, identify it, focus and grab it and Most Of all HOLD on to it as it can easily slip away.
Another lesson I have learnt, now that I am 30 is not to waste time beating urself up on what could have been, but dwelling all my energy and effort and focus and prayers on WHAT COULD BE and attracting it. Even the most mundane of things, like a favourite dessert.
Life is so full of many possibilities, and once you have decided to focus on YOU, WHAT COULD BE and PUTTING GOD first, then you have the answer to my new found ever smiling self. That and surrounding yourself with positivity and positive people...I am allergic to negativity and keep it far!!!

Coming of Age, Like Fine Wine

Hey guys,

Well been a while since I blogged in not had the time or inspiration or been too busy living single in Nairobi. AS my 30th approaches a lot of memories come to mind; where I have been and where I am going.

At this point of my life I am enjoying my career, my family and new friends and new experiences.

Well as a Kenyan woman I am proud to live in a country that has afforded me many liberations as I live and work and move freely. But of late the Kenyan woman has been bashed...well it was about time the shoe was on other foot as we the bashed the Kenyan man so much until he had enuf.

Now must say it pinches; as I find myself always on the defensive.

But girls I realized aint cute and ladylike bein defensive. Yes we are jus as capable and are earnin and able do wat they do But....by us bein defensive and self relient we create a hard outer shell and seize being approachable, and the beautiful flower that God placed in His garden.

I also found out that one ends up missin out on the good experiences in life wen u always ready for 'war'.

So in a bid to try and turn and change trends and stereotypes of the Kenyan Man and Woman...I decided to stop wearing armour all tym but be more amour all the tym. I stopped each day to positively seek and find Good Kenyan men and Women and guess wat I did.

Thus my conclusion an attitude change can go a long way and if a number of us embraced it; would be a lovely place to live in.

Armed with this positive attitude looking forward to ushering in the new year in style; I have never felt more alive; more comfortable in my own skin and sexier. Please note these are not platitudes or cliches or self help drivel; I actually feel this way as in my 20s was all over the place one minute, unsure where to fit in caught up in rat race and unable to say NO.

The new me is easy, does things only when want to.

Try it and let me know if my recipe works for u as it is definately workin for me.

For now love you and shall be back soon.
