Wow... I cannot believe it has been almost 2 weeks back in Canada. Time truly does fly... The adjustment the last little while has been an interesting one. I have personally found it just a little too easy to slip back into the sometimes self absorbed culture that sometimes occurs in our community. But I have also been finding the reverse culture shock tough of being back in the normal routine and wanting so desperately to go back to Kenya. That trip was the best experience of my life and all the memories and people we met will forever hold a place in my heart. I wish I could go back to Kenya and live there but then bring all my loved ones with me. Something I have been struggling with during the adjustment is coming to terms with the fact that I am here in Canada with no worries in the world going to starbucks, hanging with friends downtown, laying on the beach etc and there are people in Kenya who can barely make a dollar a day...

So I did not post a blog last night because I was not feeling well.. I am having a hard time recovering from the flight and getting used to the food. BY the way Kenyan food is so yummy I just have a sensitive tummy. So let me do a recap of Sunday: We went to church in the morning which was so amazing!!

I would show a picture but I cannot find my computer charger so this post is going to be short and sweet. After the amazing lunch we went to this place called new life which takes in abandon babies. This was a bittersweet time because the babies are so cute and so loved its just s...
I have been given the chance to come across so amazing writers/ poets in the making and I am grateful to have been able to read what flows from their mind onto paper. I love listening to other writers read their writing because their passion shines and it encourages me to continue writing. I love the connection you get when you re with other writers. It is almost like a family bond. Writing is something that brings strangers together and people closer. I am so grateful I have discovered it. I am very new to this whole poetry thing but I look forward to gaining more experience in life and being able to write about all the things I see and feel. And so the journey begins with me and my poems in my little leather book. Advice From A Stranger This man told me once "Whatever you do, do not fall in love". I always wondered why he told me this. He must of had his heart broken so badly that he swore to himself that he would never love again. Oh she must of been so beautiful fo...
