Optimism

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…

Why don’t we hold men to the same moral standards as women ?
For so long people who claim to transform the world and get rid of toxic masculinity and the patriarchy that formulates rules to keep a firm grip on women. One thing though is subtly handled and that is the morality standards by which women are held and yet men are supposed to live a life…

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…

Lost in love with nature .
Yeah. That’s what I am: a hopeless romantic I see babies smiling, hear their giggles and my eyes sweat and melt It’s like tickles in my soul. The feeling of rain drops touching my skin is like angel feathers rubbing against that inner part of my flesh. The view of the sun setting on the…

LOVING ON THE BOYS IN MY LIFE.
I am a firm believer in the school of thought that all human beings seek to be truly loved and accepted; to be seen and heard and to connect with each other. This is the core of our being. We seek to live in relationship with each other, in communion with one another and in…

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…

Nobody can be strong all the time.
There is a common phrase that goes for most people who have overcome adversity, small and big. Everyone wants to refer to them as strong, resilient, forts and fortresses, heros and sheroes. The applause that comes with their achievement is always jarring and tear jerking. It’s beautiful when you overcome. The sad truth also is…
