DEAR DIARY: Taking a child from her mother

>For the past few weeks, there has been media frenzy on a child custody case involving a prominent politician. If memory serves me right, this must have been the first time that we had such a case involving child custody of a star family. I personally didn’t know that the two had a child together until I saw it on the news. And from the day the story hit the news, one event led to another.

DEAR DIARY: Why would anyone kill a child?

It is hard to imagine that someone can harm their own child, leave alone a baby. It is human instinct to want and protect life instead of destroying it, especially that of a child. But things happen and sometimes, they happen to you.

DEAR DIARY: Every child needs a safe home

>Being a mom is fun but let’s face it, it is hard. It requires a lot of sacrifice. It involves a lot of changes and I am sure that there is no way that you can be a mom and not be changed by the experience. How do I know?

DEAR DIARY: It’s not goodbye but see you later

>Leaving on a Jet plane is a song by John Denver, but most people will identify it with its first line All my bags are packed I’m ready to go. My mother loved this song and she hummed it every morning under the bougainvillaea tree as she took a nap. Sooner or later her demise hit us like thunder on a sunny day.

DEAR DIARY: Tuti, until we meet again

>Tutindaga Anania Mwambungu was my friend. We weren’t the kind that spent all weekends together, or chat over the phone every now and then. We only shared brief moments when she was alive.

DEAR DIARY: Be encouraged to rise again

>A friend of mine wrote something on her Facebook page that put me on a reflection-mode. Her last year was a tough one and she had a sort of ‘theme’ to help her go through it.

DEAR DIARY: Is it diversity, or self-expression?

>I added a weave on my head last week, and it always amazes me how one small change on your body can make a huge difference on your looks – negative or positive. I was particularly intrigued about what the salonist had to say about the new weave in town.
