Kudos to Safaricom for recognizing the struggle of a mother queuing with a baby! As someone who has carried my babies through endless lines, I completely relate. In fact, I was ready to give her my spot because I know how tough it can be. However, now that I’m done with the pregnancy phase and […]

The first time my daughter encountered Blue Band margarine, she took a full-body bath in it. At barely one year old, she must have mistaken it for some premium body jelly. Of course, I couldn’t blame her—she was just a baby. But my maid, now that was another story. “Why on earth would you leave […]

I had the perfect plan all laid out: open a cyber cafe, manage a car hire business with my brother—who was all excited about a fresh start—while I focused on my main gig: providing business software solutions. Simple, right? Well, not so much. I paid for my brother’s transport to come and kick things off, […]

Before making a purchase, always do your homework—ask around, browse online, and yes, do a bit of good old window shopping. I just realized I could’ve saved 5,000! Something I bought secondhand for 7,000 was actually worth 2,500. Let that sink in. When my friend told me the real price, I had to play it […]

There once lived a young man named Tim, who dreamed of running a marathon. Not just any marathon, but the famous “Ultimate Summit” marathon, known for its steep hills and beautiful views. But there was a catch: Tim was more of a “sit and watch” guy than a runner. His mornings were filled with snooze […]

I once overheard a lady complaining about her employer checking in to see if she’d shown up to the boutique. “By morning there are no sales anyway. She just wants to know that I’m there. I don’t even get her mschew,” she grumbled. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the irony—having been an employer myself […]

When exercising first thing in the morning, your thoughts—biblically speaking—should probably begin with gratitude. After all, Psalm 118:24 reminds us, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” So, before you even start thinking about how sore your muscles might be tomorrow, it’s good to acknowledge […]

Ah, the sweet thrill of receiving that big cheque! For a moment, you feel like you’ve cracked life’s secret code. But hold up—don’t let it fool you. Sure, you could bask in that fleeting glory, but remember, cheques don’t solve problems—they just delay the inevitable! You were going to invest in your business, upgrade your […]

Every morning, I wake up to the sweet aroma of ripe mangoes—ripe not just in theory but in their full yellow, luscious reality—dangling from a tree that I planted four years ago. You’d think I’d be feasting on nature’s bounty, right? Well, think again. The monkeys, my uninvited tenants, seem to have signed a long-term […]

I found myself sitting across from the school chairman—a man I barely knew but had been introduced to through the school’s owner. It wasn’t exactly a social call; I’d called for this meeting because I realized that if the board didn’t get together soon, the school’s progress would continue to circle the drain like water […]
