A Better You

Never mind your FEELINGS. What are the FACTS?

Posted On and has 17 Comments

I recently met an old friend on Facebook and in the process of “Hi, How are you doing…” I asked, ” Anyone new in your life?”.

That was the beginning of a very interesting conversation.

He told me he had met this amazing girl but was not sure if she was ‘the one’. This is not my point of discussion today-I will talk about this really soon.

When I asked why he felt she was not ‘the one’, he said “Because I thought I would get that head over heels feeling. At times I feel like we just rhyme not anything out of the ordinary” My response is the subject of today’s post. [Read more…]

Customer Service – a foreign language in Kenya

I glance at the clock just before I leave the house. 8:00 Am. That is great time since my appointment is at 9am. I have factored in an hour due to the many stops Matatus make between Roasters and Juja.

I instinctively clutch my handbag tighter and stay alert as I continue reading my Standard Chartered Bank – Half Year Report 2012. Yes, I read financial reports even though my area is in ICT. It is always good to stay abreast with economics but that is a topic for another day. [Read more…]

Diary of a newly married woman

I’ve been married for 8 months now and it’s been amazing. Being a newly married woman rocks! I look back and am amazed at how much I have changed. If the person I was 2 years back met the person I am now, she wouldn’t recognize me.

Marriage is beautiful! Simply put, it’s spending a lot of time with the person you love – now what could be better than that? It is having someone who has your back all the time. A breath of fresh air – when the world has harassed you, you have someone who is there to make you laugh! [Read more…]
