I’m increasingly tempted to delete my personal Facebook account. This thing of constantly looking down at a screen and not making eye contact or really being with people is making me question things. I am surrounded by people who would rather look at posts and pictures instead of come to my home. I feel I’m losing touch with humans. On the other hand, the people … Continue reading Deactivating My Facebook Accountย
Last week, as we were still nursing hangovers and trying to stop being in denial that 2016 was finally here, I decided to allow my daughter to have a Facebook account. Sheโs fifteen now and I have held out for as long as I could, keeping her away from social media.

Iโm not going to be nauseatingly positive and tell you what measures you should take in life to make it better and what not. I think we have many Oprah and Deepak Chopra wannabes around us who love to tell us how life should be led and they are in fact amongst the most dysfunctional people otherwise. Iโm happy with my own brand of dysfunction … Continue reading Hopefully this is a year of looking up…

Five weeks ago life changed, circumstances changed, perceptions shifted and I became a person who started thinking of โwhat ifsโ, something I donโt usually indulge in. I know Iโm not the only one who has been affected after the incidence at Westgate but I also know each one of us has a unique journey that we embarked from that day onwards. It wasnโt just about … Continue reading Why should I apologise for being alive?
You think you have it all down pat. You wake up at a certain time, youโre off to work at a certain time to beat the horrendous traffic, your work schedules are sorted, kids are picked and dropped at designated times and it seems everything is going the way it should be. Except that it isnโt. You seem to be multitasking to achieve more but … Continue reading Organise your life!
You know exactly where Iโm going with this because it seems like every other Kenyan I speak to these days is living in fear of this month and that we are totally jinxed because everything seems to go wrong for us in this month. Iโm not a superstitious person so Iโm totally against this train of thought. There are eleven other months in the year … Continue reading The Month of August and us Kenyans
We always talk about how wonderful our lives our, what our kids get up to, the new cars we buy, the festivals we celebrate and post just wonderful pictures on Facebook to share with our friends. Eric might not be able to do any of that. Eric has Burkittโs Lymphoma- a dreadfully aggressive but curable form of cancer. He is currently in India undergoing treatment … Continue reading Let’s Save Eric… Please
