I’m in a Place…

I've never submitted any type of spoken word or poetic anthology on this blog. I've presented before, unaware that I even had it in me. This time, I completely felt let to post this, maybe for you...maybe for me. I’m in the Place It’s an obscure Place at best, something that can’t be defined by …

Somebody’s watching…

I rarely ever post messages of this type on this blog. For inspiration, I usually post to my personal website blog. So...here goes. Never forget how far you've come, where you going and what you aspire to be. Just when you thought it was over...please know that... Somebody's watching you. They are inspired by your …

This school year will go like this…

  Today was the first day back to school for teachers. Truth be told is I'm really not ready for the 22nd of August since it's the first day for actual students. Look here (*pulls glasses over nose...that's if I had a pair),  after the previous year, I was a bit apprehensive about spending another year at this …

He is finally here!

This time last year I was in tears. I was so fearful of the unknown and sad about the distance. I broke down on several occasions and wanted to run to the nearest airport and give up. I felt guilty, alone and insecure about my decision of leaving my son behind. What I didn't know at …

Don’t give up!

The last week of school...ahhhh. What can I say... I made it. I know, I can give you the infamous woe is me speech but I won't. Initially, I doubted my capability to handle the transition, primarily from an emotional perspective since I knew that my son wouldn’t be joining me this year. I tell …

So I decided…

Bringing my son has been the topic of conversation in my head for the last 6 months or so. Yes, at times, I do talk to myself, who doesn't? Honestly speaking, I try to channel those thoughts to God, however, I'm human so I slip at times. Maybe it's not meant for him Initially, there …

The takeover is real…

Time managment? Priorities? I didn’t realize how out of whack my priorities were. Just a few months back, I vowed to make a commitment to the different areas of my life, specifically concerning a few long overdue personal ongoing projects. Some of these said projects became distant and obscure  love affairs that were more indefinite …

Home is where the heart is…

I’m finally back in Kampala after a 2.5 week hiatus in the States. Homebound to Chicago  was my destination. I really needed that trip, primarily to connect with home, regroup and most importantly, to see my son. It seems like such a long time since my last post. Between the goodbye cries with my son, 20 hour flight itineraries, …

Reunited for the holidays! The best gift of all!

To this day, I don't know how I managed to survive 4 months without my son being with me. As a hands on mom who is actively involved in my son's life, it was such a hard decision and transition to say the least. My prayers were answered, God protected him and now we are reunited …
