Healthy living

Hello,welcome to my blog. I really want to say I hope you learn..blah blah like I see other bloggers do. But well I am no expert in matters health so every other concept you'll come across here is almost entirely my opinion influenced by experience. In case you're wondering why I could not keep it to my journal or share it simply with my girl gang,I should remind you that information is power. Here,have a sip..

I grew up knowing that healthy living encompasses matters diets,just that. Mama reiterated this by randomly throwing in.,don't eat that it's not healthy. She hardly ever bought us snacks and when she did,it was in the smallest of quantities. She has never made fries at home,taking raw salt is close to treason here and the way she sugars our tea is insane. This was the basis of healthy living being all about the food we eat. 

I read widely irrespective of genre and author. It is from these books and random articles that I picked up the diversity of healthy living. I learnt aspects of mental,spiritual,reproductive health among others which act as the stake holders to the entity healthy living. But one thing is inherent health is affected by what you take in. If you harbour stress in your system for example, you're creating a pathway for among other things depression and regardless of how natural your recipes get,or how balanced your diet is you cannot be healthy. So the balancing should go beyond diet. 

Reproductive health has always been my favourite health wing. I am glad conversations around this have gone beyond closed doors and shameful whispers to vocal and head on confrontation of things as they are. Girls understanding their menstrual cycles,hygiene and sexuality. Boys on the other hand understanding the functionality of both theirs and the ladies bodies and learn  respect. Spiritual health is personal, you choose what to align your soul to.,deity,mantra,science,astrology. This too needs a check. I love likening spirituality to physical fitness. How fit one is is determined by how much effort and time they put on working out. Work on that spirituality.

If you check on the above aspects,rest assured of healthy living.
Thank you.

Okay,not okay

It's been a while since I signed in here. Forgive my inconsistent,almost unavailable and close to lazy self. Yes I just referred to myself as lazy,for lack of a better word to describe a writer who goes for two weeks tops without writing or having a plan for a thing as such there of. Consider this the most personal I could ever get. I have battled the thought of having this here for a while and I guess I should get started before I change my mind for the a hundredth time. My mother is home,only when she's getting ready to sleep or when she's asleep. She gets up early to leave for work and returns when the 7:00pm news bulletin is halfway done. She's not answerable to anyone in the least,me. So when I confronted her about it in a way I thought was best,it didn't rub her well. It was just as I expected,she became mad at me and accused me of being ungrateful and not acknowledging her efforts to make sure we're given the best upbringing. First of all we're alread...

Big's Story

Hello reader,hoping you're doing your best in the chase for change and chance,yours truly serves you with this read. The prompt behind this was a random thought at a random hour of day about the game I so much love,basketball. I stalled in birthing it here because I was quite unsure about whether reader's would enjoy an entirely sporty piece. Here we are regardless,on that courty vibe. Basketball is a game of wit,to which height is a huge addition. Most coaches plant the tall players at the base for obvious reasons,rebounds and last man clean up business. This is a lot of work . To the smaller men,this is not to say your bakes and shakes are unnecessary. Matter of fact they are as vital as securing an offensive rebound. This right here however was a party for the bigs. They get all the attention and appraisal.  Big men are selfless,vocal and are expected to run fast enough and reach both ends in good time. The smalls can be selfish with the ball making big men their good beasts...

From songs of Lawino

Hello,welcome to my blog. I decided to try this path of incorporating people's work and talking about it. The work I have chosen is poetry for today;songs of Lawino. Undeniably my best poem and the poet,Okot p'Bitek too is a darling. I would like to categorically state that maybe my interpretation isn't similar to yours but hey,poem enthusiasts and readers should  have open minds..so here we go: My husband has read much He has read extensively and deeply He has read among white men  And is clever like white men And reading has killed my man In the ways of his people He has become a stamp.. Its along poem and I really wish I could give you the whole of it here. You can get it on Poems of East Africa. This poem has been used largely in literature classes in Kenya. To be able to fully understand the concern of the persona,you'll need to understand the setting of the poem. Okot is from Uganda among the Acholi. Prior to the colonial rule,Africans learnt informal education. I...
