Fall forward.
It is okay to move. There are dreams and visions that we hold which can seem so far off that we feel so powerless on our pursuit of them. My dreams and visions are bigger than me, sometimes appear to be so far away from my reach. That is fine. My philosophy is to move…

Seasons
I have been through a whole long spell of feeling like I am in the wrong place and not enjoying my time fully in this place where I have for sure been divinely placed. It took me a minute to realise that I indeed was living in anticipation of joy and happiness instead of simply…

Hurt is hurt
It is true that no one can tell the extent and the depth of someone’s pain until or unless you have walked in their shoes as that person. In other words, even if you walked in their shoes, unless you are that person you can not fully comprehend how someone hurts and how much they…

A life of significance- Dolly Parton.
I have learnt in my quest for success that many of us in this lifetime will indeed acquire success but few people will achieve significance. Our success becomes significant when it becomes the success of others , when the world can drink from our well. This is the reason I want to be more than…

Dreamers and opportunities
Opportunity is Paramount for any creative mind, any genius, any dreamer in this world to live to their fullest potential. Sometimes people who are privileged say: “If you simply work hard and believe in yourself and follow your dreams, you can achieve anything you want to.” They are right. However, there is a difference that…

Who said you cant be fully woman and absolutely awesome?
The organizers of the Olympics have announced that they will allow women who are breastfeeding to come to and participate in the events. I must say it was completely overdue. Today let me honor Allyson Felix, an American sprinter who won her 12th gold, one more than Bolt’s 11, when she and her team placed…

#1 “Why are you coming out now ?”
This question has a certain tone of animosity to it. It is void of basic human compassion . I mean especially for the people who use this statement to say: ” If you were raped 5, 10 years ago you should have spoken then. If you stayed in an abusive relationship it probably didn’t hurt…

Optimism
” Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement” Hellen Keller … Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. To be optimistic is to live in joyful hope for a better outcome. It is to see the stars in the night even while you lie in the gutters. In the spirit of optimism, we…

Guilt and shame.
Guilt I have learnt during this week is important indeed spiritually for our conscience to remain alive and for us to accept conviction from the Holy Spirit whenever it knocks silently on our Spirit. Secondly, it is also vital for our relationships with other people so that we are not indifferent and oblivious to the…

Happiness is not a destination
It is really easier to live in anticipation of a future filled with happiness, a destination with no sorrow where there are no tears, no pain. It gives us hope to go through the crappy days. It gives us a reason to live through the day and keep breathing through the night. It is the…

Allow yourself to feel what you’re feeling.
Being human is not about feeling happy all the time. It’s about feeling everything. However you feel is the right way because there is no right way to feel; only a right way to respond, behave and carry yourself. Should you even feel a lot of things at the same time, it’s okay. I have…

UNITY in battle.
COVID in a staggering healthcare system. Today I woke up with a heavy heart. My thoughts are going out to my fellow country men and women and the children we have been charged with. Many thoughts flooding my mind but especially this here; the disunity and the lack of nationalism and patriotism in the face…

Dangerous ambition.
You know how they say too much of anything is always bad ? If there is too much of something you should avoid, that is too much ambition. Ambition is a strong desire to do or achieve something. It’s a drive. It is Paramount that one has a level of drive for them to achieve…

Still on “The process”.
During the recent swearing in ceremony of the 11th Parliament of the Republic of Uganda, this man whom we now know as Papa Wemba caught the attention of millions as he entertained guests with his dress code and comical dance moves. He had followed the campaign trail of his current member of Parliament to the…

TRUST IN THE PROCESS
Trust in the process You’ll end up right where you’re meant to be; right when you’re meant to be there Hold onto your vision and dreams Work at it and stay the course Stay positive and keep hope alive Like a seed that’s buried in the ground, the goal is to break through the dirt…

Sad and depressed? Get out of bed.
During COVID some family interactions have been enhanced, others deterred by different factors, friendship mostly exchanged through phones and for people who have depression, this time may easily become a catalyst to it. On our worst days, the greatest task, (this I recently learnt) is to; get out of that bed and get your butt…

JUST BREATHE
Just breathe Slow and deep breaths Until everything is calm Until your heart is in sync with your body and mind Until the destruction and divide, the crushing and the slow falling into an endless pit… Until this all passes. Just breathe And wait for that moment to pass Only you can destroy you Not…

Fitting into a group while being true to yourself can be a real work of courage
I have learnt over time that while I enjoy company, the friendship of many wonderful people, there is a singularity to life and the personal responsibility for choices and their consequences. However, the two are seldom in sync. That’s because while we want to be our authentic selves, every person in our lives and every…
