Woman find your happiness

My cousin shared this article with me today in Mothers day...on mother day. I found interesting but true.  In kiswahili we say furaha jipe mwenywe. 

Woman, find your happiness.

Find a good human being. Orgasm. Drink red wine. Or whiskey. Or even a beer. Belch. Ditch the routine and head to the cinema on a Wednesday morning all by yourself, lounging in a 200-seat theatre, watching something that makes you laugh out loud.

Travel. Find your vulnerability 4000 ft above sea level. Read magazines and books. Find a muse. Ask questions. Tuck religion away from your peace.

Change your hairstyle. Cut your hair. Have dreadlocks. Buy yourself the most expensive gift. Treat yourself to a 5-star hotel buffet. Spend the night at a hotel. Snore. Visit the spa. Laugh and dance. Dance your heart out, even if you have two left feet. Wink.

Save a few friendships. Watch the rest trip and fall. Learn to let people go. Let a few in. Close the doors. Buy lingerie. Buy a nice perfume. Buy a nice cologne for your man.

Love silence. Let your personal space give you peace.

Flirt. Tell your crush you like him, even if you know it’s a recipe for total disaster. Sing your favourite song. Smile. Cry. Exhale.

Never mind what people have to say. Don’t judge. Don’t think to a point of unhappiness. Let people’s flaws happen. Let your flaws happen. Learn how to make your best foreign dish. Walk on the beach. Let your skin breathe.

Carve your eyebrows to perfection. Get your foundation shade right. Apply lip gloss. Or that loud red lipstick.

Live without apologies. If you don’t, you’ll spend the rest of your years demanding apologies from everyone for their less-than-perfect association with you.

Nobody owes you happiness. Not your children. Not a lover. Not even a job. Live your life to the fullest. Shut the noise out. You are awesome if you believe it. You must find a good place. Push yourself. No one else is going to do it for you.

Be happy. #BeYou

From Wiping Tables At Burger King to Overseeing Marketing for Three Hotels on the Kenyan Coast.

My marketing career journey would not be complete without giving credit to the people who opened doors for me and believed in me before I had the experience, title, or credentials to justify their confidence. At the top of that list is Mr. Mohammed Hersi (MH), a mentor to many, especially within the hospitality industry, and a leader who nurtured countless careers at Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa and across the Sarova Hotels family. As I reflect on my journey, I am reminded that God truly orders our steps. In January 2011, I came across a feature article in the Star Newspaper about an event at Sarova Whitesands. Looking back, I know it was more than coincidence. Out of all the articles I had seen, why did that one capture my attention? I believe God was answering prayers and directing my path. At the time, I was involved in event planning. Inspired by the article, I called Sarova Whitesands to explore the possibility of working together on events. I was connected to Nick Lad...

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this.” > — Psalm 37:5

“Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.” 1 Chronicles 16:11 “Commit your way to the LORD trust in him and he will do this.” Psalm 37:5 “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 Look to God, commit the desire to Him, trust Him, and let Him work. A Prayer for a God-Given Husband and a God-Built Marriage Heavenly Father, I come before You with an open heart. You know my desires, my past, my pain, my hopes and the future You have prepared for me. Lord, I surrender my desire for marriage to You. I do not want to force love. I do not want to chase what You have not assigned to me. I do not want to enter another relationship simply because I am lonely, afraid or tired of waiting. If You are not in it, I do not want it. If Your presence is not going with me, I do not want to go. Your Word says: “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” — Exodus 33:14 So Lord, let Your presence lead me—even in love. I ask You for...
