Adult education (1)

28 The year was 2012. I was the only one at the company who didn't have any post-grad qualifications. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to study but since it was a marketing firm, I thought perhaps I could do that. I spoke to the boss about the company contributing to the cost and …

Definitely. Maybe

I am typing this from the 40-40 office seated on a couch that isn’t even ours. Uhm, no we did not steal it 🙂 These chairs belong to the landlord and although we need the, he set a price that is quite high. Since we can’t afford them yet, we have decided we’ll custom-make our …

I had a dream

Last year, we brainstormed during a meeting, out of ideas on whom to headline for Croak and Rhyme, 4040’s annual music fundraiser. The year before, we had surprised many, including ourselves and brought the legendary Maddox Sematimba as our main act. We needed to match up to our own expectations. “What about Sauti Sol?”  we …

Soaring on angel wings

I have always considered motherhood to be an unparalleled gift, whether through adoption or biologically. No offence dads, you do a good job of raising children and can make or break them, but there’s something about a mother’s love which is surely significant and can somehow be felt whether or not you have yours with …

Letter to my little one

Dear baby, I don't know if I'll ever stop calling you that. I know you just moved past toddler stage but it will be a long time before I get over all the transitions. On this day, 4 years ago, I had you.I want you to know, and always remember that it was one of …

For the past couple of weeks, I have been waking up with different songs in my head,constantly; anything from the 90's to an old hymn. I usually find myself singing or humming for the rest of the day and when my brain is really in overdrive, I question the lyrics word for word. *Do not …

Just because..

“If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing.” This morning a random memory crept up in my mind and I thought to share it. Yup it perturbed me all morning and I thought, perhaps someone needs a pick-me-up. Here goes. Last year, I was invited for an interview and given …

War room

I had it on my to do list to watch the movie 'War room' but the opportunity did not present itself until last night. I am glad it did because I have an uncanny talent that leads me to watch movies several months or even years after their release *SOS* From the on-set, you can …

Celebrating Life :)

September! Oh how the months have flown by! I am always excited about beginnings. If you tell me you have got a new job, or started a new project, I am going to blow it out of proportion. If things don’t work out, well we celebrated when we could. New months are no different. My …

Happy tears :)

While I was chatting with Barns last night, after we won the award, he ended with “I will await the blog post.” So..here it is! For the past couple of years I would see the advert for the NSSF torch awards but I felt we were not ready. We needed to have something to our …
