COLOUR!




If like me, you spend some of your time being silly with 8 year olds, then you'll understand the beauty of crayons, colour pencils & paint on a plain A4 paper. Priceless. Point to note is 8 year olds DO NOT CARE if you choose to colour inside or outside the lines. There's a sense of freedom to "be free" or "be silly". Most times, the A4 paper isn't just enough and as the adult, they insist that "your face" becomes the canvas or maybe your nails - why not! At the end of the day, you stare at your face in the mirror - almost thinking "why did I agree to this? How am I going to get all this colour out of MY HAIR" & then you smile because you realise that sometimes "to be free, you have to be silly, you have to let go, you do not have to be IN CONTROL all of the time, you can relax and allow some COLOUR in your life"

So, GO ON, COLOUR YOUR WORLD.
Be Free. Be You. Love & Be Loved!!
"Christ has set you free to live a free life"
- Gal 5:1

Through African Eyes



Holland Cotter writes: "For centuries Euro-American eyes have been trained on Africa. We’ve scanned it from afar, surveyed it up close, put it behind glass; looked and looked, wonderingly, acquisitively, disdainfully, fearfully.

"But we rarely seem to be aware that during all that time Africans have been looking back at us — wonderingly, acquisitively, disdainfully, fearfully."

I.Journey...'12.42am Kenya blogging'



I said I was going to blog about everything that happens in Kenya. Where do I start? From the moment I arrived at Jomo Kenyatta, my brain has been in over-drive. I'm taking so much in and I have no time to process it. As always, I'll be able to process it in a few months and maybe then I can blog.

It's 12:42am and I'm trying to write something on here quickly and the words wouldn't come together in my head. I love Kenya. There's something about the people and sitting here, I've just realised what it is - Peace. In the midst of Chaos, Madness, Matatus (which I love by the way) & more madness, Kenyans are the most peaceful people I have ever come across (How do I explain?!?)

Well, just so you know, there is a lot of love in the beautiful Nairobi tonight, thanks to an amazing Kenyan artist - 'Atemi's Hatimaye'

Happy Easter!!!!

Asante (Thank you)
