Different colors one people Kenya color run 2018 edition

I write this sitting on my bed, my laptop on my lap, a book and a pen on the left side, headphones on and a cup of exceptional tea on a stool next to the bed. My tea, though sweet, does not seem to perform the miracles expected of it. I am trying to fight Sunday’s hangover. It’s not easy. I have tried to

Elephant Hill Hike

Ever gone through your memories of when you were 5 to 10 years of age? (If not, just take 3 minutes off the blog post and try figure out what you were up to back then, then come back).

Crocodile Tears

The weather has never made me cancel a trip but the one in March this year has just been too nippy and raw for me. A month ago I prayed my novena to St. Jude for rains but not this kind. Bridges were swept off, people died and others slept in traffic for nights not to mention all the drugs I have had to kill the influenza viruses which took over my system severally in this month. See, I am...
