Because running after life will only make seem out of your reach. (And leave you out of breathContinueContinue reading “Sometimes right things go wrong”

I wont forget

I will always remember what has happened. I really want to. The month of July left a difficult August in its wake. It is easy to wonder why? The questions come so very easily. I wish the answers did too but they seem reticent to peep out from life and wisdom, and offer meContinueContinue reading “I wont forget”

The month of growth

There is so much that has happened this month. Some things have challenged me in more ways than one. It has been tough dealing with all that has come my way. But the outcomes have all been positive in way. I finally feel reconnected to God again. From many months there was a void. AsContinueContinue reading “The month of growth”

A letter from my shadow to me

Dear Friend, I felt its time I reached out to you. Though I know you may not be able to listen to me, I have to tell you this. You are incredibly strong and yet you are so meek. Our lives are intertwined and yet sometimes you fail to even acknowledge my presence. You thinkContinueContinue reading “A letter from my shadow to me”

Taking it up a notch

I meant the count for rejections of my short stories. Now as soon as I received a ‘no’ some minutes ago, for my second attempt at having my stories published, I was hurt. Then I continued with my task of finishing my article which I have a self-imposed deadline on. I have been struggling withContinueContinue reading “Taking it up a notch”
