....Birthday Wish List....

Tomorrow is my Birthday.
Hey everybody. Its been one hell of a year I must say. When my year started there were so many uncertainties in my life. I was just fresh out of Kenya School of Law and doing my pupillage which was just about to come to an end. I had not guarantee that the law firm I was working at would retain me or I would have to go start the job hunt all over again. Well I eventually go admitted to the bar and I got retained by the law firm I was working at. Four years of campus and one and half years of law school and pupillage finally paid of. That was the highlight of my year Ladies and Gentlemen

I have had all kinds of experiences this year but my greatest lesson is that "Life is not a race". I believe that God in his infinite wisdom set everybody in their own paths or call it destiny. At any given time there is always somebody who is going to be driving a better car, or living in a better house, or spotting a new hot phone and there is always somebody who just got fired from their job or has dropped out of school or has been kicked out of their home.....so comparing yourself only breeds contempt. Always be grateful for what you have

I have also learnt that people will always leave. This maybe through death or their story in your life is over therefore when they are around treat them right, tell them how much they mean to you and most importantly do right by them. I seldom believe in second chances because once trust is broken it is very hard to regain it. 

Enough of that....Well I put together a few things that are my birthday wish list. Please feel obligated to get me anything you see here I will be forever grateful.Check them out!.

Cobalt blue Skater dress

Red studded flats

Green Celine Inspired Tote

Strapy Heels

For the bravehearted

My people my people it is freezing out here in the good city of Nairobi. The temperatures keep getting lower with each waking moment. I hope your keeping warm because some cold gone catch up with you and we don't want that now don't we.

The Kenyan news scene lately has been marred with such sad public interest stories and one particular one that stood out for me was the Lady who hired a hit squad to kill her husband because he has absconded his paternal duties and taken to alcohol and women.

 A friend posted this "of the woman who tried to kill her hubby and totally got busted..eeerm why didn't she just walk away?? really??" on Facebook. I commented "easier said than done..." This update right here got me thinking that not everything especially relationships that are broken can be fixed. Some have just run their course and when one realizes that they move on.

 I believe that moving on is not for the cowardly but for the bravehearted. It involves a lot of faith that you would rather live without that person just for the sake of sanity and in this woman's case for the sake of her children. To chatter  into unknown territory is the most difficult thing to do but sometimes the most rewarding. Change is inevitable but good for the soul. 

Enough of that though. Somebody say Green!!! I am so totally digging the greens this month.

"In order to live your dream, you have to WAKE UP! Most people are sleep-walking through life, and never become aware of why they are here, and what they are supposed to do.

WAKE UP to your dream! Don’t just accept life as it has been given to you. Jump out of your comfort zone. Act decisively to create a life that you love and that gives you a sense of fulfillment. WAKE UP! Drink deeply from the cup of knowledge, wisdom, silence, and spirituality.

Connect to the alarm clock of life, and WAKE UP to your dream! You deserve!" ~ Les Brown

.....Its Birthday Month......

Its Birthday day month everybody. 
I know I have been silent but it has been one hell of a crazy crazy month! Its my birthday at  the end of the month and I am will be compiling my birthday wish list and y'all will be very much part of it. I am back and this time its to stay. Well I came across this poem by Dr. Maya Angelou and I thought to myself what better way to begin my favorite month. 

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."

"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."

"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."

"I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life."

"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."

"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."

"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."

"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."

"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

  

My bestie Ninah and I attended a wedding over the weekend and we decided to bring it! This dress is actually tailor made as I got the fabric from Nigeria! My bestie on the other hand is wearing a pretty animal print skirt which I so wanted to steal and a classic black peplum top and the those sexy peep toes which are to die for but nothing fits....lucky girl. Yes people that was just a taste of what you are about to see this month so strap your sit belts of and lets get red to ramble!!!!

Until next time Folks TaaaTaaa!!!
