HERE’S TO FRIENDSHIP

I’ve been trying to gather my thoughts and emotions just enough to express how the month of August has been special and meaningful to me. My very good friend came home from France for her holidays and despite not being able to spend every waking moment with her I was able to spend just enough to fill my heart with bliss. To add to the cream of my month a cherry was added when another friend came from SA and the last week was extra splendid. They’ve both returned to their respective countries now but I remain smiling. I’ve been able to share my heart and fun moments with them, my family and other friends.

Yet over the past few weeks I’ve wondered why it has been that some part of me would wither & die until I saw my friends, but now I’ve realized that am not sharing the things I love about me with the new friends I have been blessed with since I came home. This now is my resolve that I won’t sit and whine that I don’t meet people who share with me what I love but that I shall seek to share those things I love with those I find along the way… they don’t necessarily have to love it like I do but at least I keep on doing those things that make me happy. With that in mind I toast to friendship both old and new and to the families that come together because of such friendships.

…AND THEY CAME HOME…

Yeah went for Homecoming and it was awesome! I dunno if I can add more to it but yeah that was great! Good location, company, organization… it was ti-i-oght!

WEATHER CHANGE

In Kenya we are slowly coming out of our winter (which when compared to the rest of the world is child’s play, but it still remains our coldest time of the year).

With the change in weather comes the change in many other things such as outlook on life. We are fast moving towards the end of the year, to elections ’07 and partying, traveling and enjoyment galore. It also means one starts to wonder if they achieved what they set out to do by year’s end…

I’m not sure I had much planned except changing my job and traveling to Ethiopia in September for their millennium celebrations… neither of which look like they are happening soon… so I wait. Things have their own time and rushing them makes everything more difficult.

But either way change of weather to a sunnier outlook makes me feel brighter that despite what I’ve not done… there is still time… and if it’s never done… there are many more things to achieve. So here is to our Kenyan Spring…

I AM PHOEBE…

ENDS REFUSING TO MEET.

Yeah it’s one of those days… that span into months. Somehow the ends are running away from each other. The moment I get a hold of one the other slips and disappears! But I’m positive about it all coming together very soon. Working weekend it is!

19 DAYS AND COUNTING

We call them many things handicapped, disabled being some of them; and I’m sure there are politically right ways to address them but I think we should just say Humans. They are like us if not smarter through experience in life. I mean some people have all their limbs and body parts intact yet we never do anything worth writing home about. Yet it has come down to this… that the Kenyan Society has watched them relegated to begging for their livelihood. Who were they disturbing when they strapped Simu ya Jamii racks on their wheelchairs? Whose life was severely affected when you bent down and bought your stick of cigarette or tropical sweet while you walk your way through the city? The answer is none. In pursuit of a ‘clean’ city we have managed to throw out the baby and the bath water. We are not only dealing with the loss of livelihood but the dirt we’ve been sweeping under the carpet is coming out into the light. Why must they be treated any less? As they sit in protest outside Nation Centre I beg that we think about not only their livelihood but also who they are to us in society…. change that thought and think of them as you & me.
