Pointing fingers





So, I've just had a heated argument with someone, I think its sad to profess that you are a person of high morals and go ahead and judge people who are apparently not doing as well as you are. So in prospect, I was going to say alot of mean and unneccesary things here, but I realise this isn't the forum, hence I say a prayer to God " Dear Lord, I pray that you may give me the strength and the discernment to stay away from things that don't concern me, help me to emulate your ways, remove any impure thoughts in me, Let me be the queen you created me to be. And dear Lord, I also pray that in this life, when I find situations disturbing I pray that you may always remind me that I will always have a friend in you, and that I can always tell you anything. Thank you for being there. Help me to understand that people are different and give me the strength to deal with them as they are. For you alone are my creator and through your spirit in me I know that I'm victorious. I know this is a long prayer, more than what you are used to from me, which means that our relationship is healing. Thankyou Father, for always being there," Amen. And just like that I feel better already.

I'm making changes in my life.


I'm writing this post from my apartment in Mombasa. This town has always represented magicalness for me. Sort of surreal I must say, long walks by the beach, beautiful coastal culture and cuisine. So I am working briefly here, a lovely opportunity, I must admit. I've been here for a week , I am still looking forward to having dinner at the sea courtesy of the beautiful Tamarind dhow restaurant.

However, what I'd like to do most is visit the beautiful island of Lamu. I have heard many great things said about this town and I would like to exprience it by myself. I would like to see the beautiful scenery at night, mostly I'd like to escape it all. Normally, my life is crazy, from work to my social life and I have set out to do so many things that I haven't achieved even quarter way, for me going to Lamu is a milestone, a new beginning. Best of me by Chrisette Michelle represents what I'm going through right now. Honestly, I am just in search of the truth.

I'm doing things differently starting now. Lamu is sort of the pictures I will take to remind me or rather to commensurate this time in my life. My last inspiring read was eat pray love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I'm going to have a mini eat pray love for myself, I loved her ideas and mostly, I loved that she seeked to find her truth and she got it. You know, most people I've told about the concept of the book seem to find it absurd that she had to travel those long distances just to find the truth. I believe in the mantra ::Do what you can, where you are with what you have by Theodore Roosevelt. I will do what I can with what I have.
