Being Remembered

We live in a very fickle world these days. If you ask the ordinary youth these days – what they would do for fame, it’s quite alarming. Just hang out in Nairobi a bit and you might even get more shocked. Maybe, it’s the glamour – the image of being important that attracts them. But, then you see the handful examples of the true legends our society creates…you tend to second-guess if that’s life you really want to live.

Take for example, Michael Jackson, a true musical legend by any degree. A guy – whose music resonates through many generations and will be remembered for many more. If you asked anyone including the media what they thought of him last week – the words they would use would be “weird, bizarre, etc.” And they would bring up the scandals, the negatives (true or not)…but that’s what society thought defined him.

Now, unfortunately, he passed away – and the entire world finally gave this person the respect for his talent. I just find it awkward that it takes society a persons death to finally recognize the positives one brings. I can also see how being in these surroundings the definition of “real” could easily fade.

It’s amazing that when you do live this life – whether you’re guilty or not of an allegation – you’ve already forever tainted your image. Doesn’t look all that glamorous of a life to me.

The loss of this legend – gives all of us a true awakening that we should appreciate life and never take it for granted. And, may also shed us light on how being a “superstar” maybe a pretty lonely place up top.

Helping Children: Shangilia Mtoto wa Africa

It was a great honour for me to meet and interest with the children from Shangilia Mtoto wa Africa

I was given the history of this children's home by madam Pauline and it was quite a story. There were pictures on the wall, of a trip some of the kids took Germany. The smiles on their faces could tell it all.

It is my sincere hope that the small contribution, of foodstuffs, will be of assistance to these deserving kids.

Today was the best of my days, especially coming before christmas, am truly happy!
