I should start by saying that I really try to skip these but fail as often as two days or three days after:
I have lived through experiences and some memories I hold dear- some good and others painful, yet no matter how much I look at it there isn’t an age or time in my life that I would want to go back to.
Right here, right now these words I am typing are real, I am creating something now.
I am who I am now because a compilation of all those experiences and it’s beautiful because I know not who I will be tomorrow, what I am sure of is that she will come with history.
Don’t get rid of your pain until you’ve learned what it has to teach you.
- The Myth of Closure by Pauline Boss
I would wish for:
Better question, “Would you like to go to the moon?”
The answer is “No.”
It’d take approximately 3 days to go and 3 days to come back and it’s an out of this world experience- but no thank you, I am not interested.
It’s just drizzled this morning and I am listening to Reductio’s organ rendition of Hallelujah as I type this.
So, what alternative career paths have I considered or am I interested in?
And those are the ones that I have thought of or actually tried, lately there has been one that I couldn’t shake off and it’s not a career path but more a life path- being a Founder.
What alternative career paths have you considered?
Chapati and yellow beans…
That’s it.
It has been a month since I received the copies of my latest book “The Longest Way Home.”
Have you ever found yourself sighing in relief after completing a project or task? This is what I felt when I finally sent out the copy to the printers- and it was because I had taken more than a year to set this out.
Allow me to introduce you to this book:
It is only 73 pages short, and has a main character named Ogolla and this story started out as a question, “what if there was a young man in search of answers and he had an attitude to boot?”
At some point he is advised:
Anger is the worst kind of spirit my son. It seems that you used it well enough to get where you are but you have come to a point where it no longer keeps you running forward. You cannot stop to cool off or look back, so to the world you are cold and vicious but you are burning inside, it’s just that everyone is busy looking and not seeing.”
I sold the first 50 copies and I am still on my close friends and colleagues neck to buy copies to read and just like that.. I look forward to growing more into this journey.
If you are in Kenya, or in Nairobi- and would like to give my books a shot, read what I wrote and what not, leave a comment here and I can share how to get a copy: it’s Kshs 350 without delivery charges.
Have a great week you beautiful soul!
I have been working on:
My thoughts have been like the Wanderer I am, everywhere, in motion, uncertain, calm, waiting, anxious.
If you visited my blog today you must have felt it, this is my third theme of the day.
I started out sombre, then vivid and landed on this page where my thoughts are waiting.
Like someone at the bus stop aware of their destination just waiting for the bus to make a stop and they board.
And just like that I find myself drawn to this version because this is the feeling I get when I want to write a book but don’t know how to start.
So, I am all over the place and until I get my momentum I will be in and out of it all to build on this.
