I will have an incredible day – I said to myself in the morning! She, the universe, then says – it is done. But during the day, my simple mind, with the help of 1,000 voices in my head, still try to be in control. The universe has it in control – let go andContinue reading “No “buts” in learning to trust the Universe”

Waking up to the sounds of birds
It is so lovely to wake up hearing the sounds of birds in the morning. I am alive, and the universe lives on. As I tried to listen carefully to the birds, I found myself smiling. I couldn’t help but notice how they constantly talk over each other. In human terms, it sounds like aContinue reading “Waking up to the sounds of birds”
Is there a place for hopeless sinners?
I mean inadequate and incompetent sinner? So hopeless that they don’t know that they are sinning. The hopeless sinner that Bob Marley sang about, was the one that has hurt all mankind for his own beliefs. This is not the hopeless sinner I am referring to, I am referring to the hopeless sinner who isContinue reading “Is there a place for hopeless sinners?”
A failed attempt to speak in Tongues
I read an intriguing article on speaking in tongues, that inspired me to also write on how I yearned to speak in tongues. Having grown up going to a conventional Catholic church, speaking in tongue was so foreign. One Sunday, towards the end of the mass and just before the usual announcements, a guest wasContinue reading “A failed attempt to speak in Tongues”
The rise and fall of the majesty of a woman’s breast!

I jailed the Government
I jailed the government for refusing to look at itself in the mirror. I mean in my head, I jailed the government for refusing to look at itself in the mirror. In my faith, I believe I am created in the image of God. Essentially, because God loves me so much, I resemble God inContinue reading “I jailed the Government”

Unmuting the silence on financial struggles
Being broke is not a nice feeling. Not having money can be so devastating and debilitating. Being liquid gives a sense of security, probably because in the world we live in today, we can barely do anything without money. In Swahili there’s a saying “Pesa ni sabuni ya roho” literally meaning “Money is soap forContinue reading “Unmuting the silence on financial struggles”
A heart to heart chat with the Universe
Lately, the Universe has been trying to speak to me and I kept ignoring it. But, it has been relentless in sending me reminders to have this chat. These reminders make my heart feel not empty, not in pain, but disturbed and emotionally agonized. To get this feeling out of my chest, I finally decidedContinue reading “A heart to heart chat with the Universe”
