"Failure will can never overtake you if your determination to succeed is strong enough. Strive to be better than you ever thought you could be." Hello everyone!! First of all I know it has been quite a long hiatus! Been a crazy start to the year to be honest. A lot has been on my plate. … Continue reading Child friendly hikes near Nairobi: The Ngong Hills Kenya

I carried a book. Malcom Gladwell's Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.

I'm more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!
Sometimes we never get to completely understand but with time it all makes sense in the end. And if it doesn't, I've learnt that it's not the end.
I wonder if some men ever think about what they say and how half of it is actually an insult to a woman’s intelligence. But these days’ I guess things are easy like that. People cut to the chase. Cards are laid on the table. You tell me what you want, making conclusions.
