Do not be deceived, I AM is I AM
When you go to the hospital, you’re called a patient. When you’re in primary school, you’re called a student. Complete your doctorate, and now you’re called Doctor. Your mother calls you her child, while your brother sees you as a sibling. You’re one person with different titles depending on the role you’re playing, right? So […]
“big spoon for a small mouth, big spoon got a small mouth”
The phrase “big spoon for a small mouth, big spoon got a small mouth” is a funny yet insightful metaphor for the common human tendency to overreach or feel unprepared. Whether it’s taking on more than we can handle or falling short despite our efforts, this analogy speaks to the delicate balance between ambition and […]
Work with those who are for you not those who are not for you.
I used to be a “take life as it comes” person, letting things unfold however they would. It sounds nice, right? Just wing it, be free, live by the seat of your pants. But let me tell you, that approach only works if you’re relying on your own strength. And that’s exhausting. Trust me, I’ve […]
Managing money or being managed by money
For the longest time, I struggled with managing money. I was like a human bank with no security system—anyone who came asking got a “yes.” Then one day, I had a revelation: the problem wasn’t that I didn’t know why I needed money; it was that I hadn’t given my money names. Yep, labels. You […]
Becoming then attracting

It highlights the importance of personal growth, character development, and reflecting the values you wish to see in others. This concept can be illustrated through biblical verses and examples, encouraging teenagers to focus on who […]
Stiletto Queue
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
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 […]
The perfect plan
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, […]
Don’t play hero when starting out
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 […]
THE REWARD my friend look to the reward
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 […]
