    Sooner, rather than later, I am discovering the European definition of what it means to keep a job, manage a home, remain a valid mum of three, as well as darling wife!

  • Smiles & Flowers

    Posted: May 22, 2008, 7:19 pm by mwari
    I don’t recall the last time I smiled as much as I did today, day one at my new job. So much so that my facial muscles began hurting and my eyes were threatening to go blood-shot! It does not help that my boss sits right next to me and every now and then, she would [...]

Create your own song and dance with me. another whistle, a twist, one leg raised, both hands up, shaking waist now. jumping up and down. Thank you Lord! And thank you all [...]

    Of all the mountains we’ve faced, This one’s been the most rugged, Steep contours, and sharp meanderings. I know it’s lasted much longer, Than we ever anticipated.   We shall get over the top, to catch a glimpse of another beautiful view, Of a life and a story we call ‘Ours’ It’d be good if it were simpler, I have wanted to bury my head in the sand, And pretend that [...]
