So I am 31 and a day old...Feels good as my Bday month started on a high note as 1st of April I woke up in the Maasai Mara...Sekenani Camp...that I was there this year I would say was very poignant and a homecoming as my country had held a peaceful election on March 4th and despite controversy surrounding the exercise...Kenya had come of age and getting ready for swearing in of its fourth President. The last time I had been to Mara was just after the controversial elections of 2007 that was followed by bloodsh to ed and tribbal fighting. Tourists were nowhere to be seen and the Mara was desserted. That I returned when there was some semblance of hope for a brighter future...felt good.
My personal journey of self discovery is ongoing but begun in January 2009 when I embarked on the unknown and moved away from my comfort zone. I for the first time face hurdles that looking back now have refined me not defined me.
When I say I am happy; When I smile, Guess what it is for Real and not an act to camouflage pain. As when in pain now I face it head on cry and move on. Life is that simple as I no longer have to put a front and I now know and say NO. I am also not afraid to go after what I like want or need, as I am confident and comfortable in my own skin and fearless. Yes Fearless. One has to grab life with its Kahonness if you want enjoy it and live it to the fullest.
Yesterday I had a lovely conversation with a former schoolmate who was a class behind me but told me he remembers a speech I gave in 2000. He said I had passion and on fire. And I took a pause and realized that is how I feel right now...TOP of My Game Passionate about my job and what I am doing and Loving and excelling in it. That I joined a start up in Kenya and now we have grown to a team of three the sky is the limit and I am proud of it.
In the news biz one has to be on their toes and ahead of the pack...and I am doing that in my peep toe 4 inch heels.
As I usher in another year I know it is going to be the biggest ever as activate several projects and take on new challenges. Lookin forward to new challenges n charting the way forward to new heights.
In matters family never have I felt close to my folks and siblings...I have a secure veil around me full of love that includes my loving and supportive extended family that I am getting to know.
As for dating hmmm...very soon shall reveal and lookin forward to big day, family and kids...yes kids...and yes I can cook and run a home in heels:-)
For now I wanna leave you with a few words:
#Life is bout choices consistency focus n hardwork si kuangukia
#Men have an important #role to play in our lives but so do we kila mtu ako na kazi yake tusije tukakosana bure
it is indeed #ThankfulThursday wow I lived to c today many didn't so if feeling down rem that n be grateful to Him our Father xxx
