I always wanted to meet my dad, I am an only child with no siblings and no mother. I always wanted to know how it would feel to have someone who carries your DNA. When I was in high school, some of my classmates had nicknamed me TURINANA (the baby/child of MUTURI) because I always carried his photo along with me wherever I went and I kept on telling them how I was looking for my dad day in day out. Years passed by and the interest grew even greater. I made this a prayer request and certainly God answers prayers because He did. One day as i was going back to school for tuition, I decided to pass by Rwaka, a town in Nairobi. My mum always narrated stories of how she met my dad, where my dad was from and most of his details, so, at least, I had a clue of where he was from. I stopped by a shop and the first thing the shop attendant asked me was "whose daughter are you in the Kariuki's family because you look so much like them?" Wow I was amazed and got so emotional, narr...

ORPHANED BY HIV BUT WHY US? That day when my mother died, I went to the bedroom as I was used to every morning only to realize wow alright she is no longer here. Coming to terms was a huge task, imagine having someone in your life only to realize that you will not see them again. Of course, death is expected everywhere, but we try to brush it off our minds.

There are various ways by which you can get infected, but people tend to judge because obviously, they know more than the affected individual. I remember having a heavy heart trying to understand how I would survive without a parent as every orphan child wonders at a given time in their lives. Being an orphan is not good, it is not okay, people tend to think that orphans are fine if they have a guardian, but what if the guardian never wanted to have kids, doesn't that mean that you will have to undergo stre...

You will get an immediate response with different weight loss methods, but they are all useless. If you can embrace the fact that weight loss is an art more than it is science, you are good to go. Unfortunately, most people follow the science because it is too easy, it tells you to create a caloric deficit, and you will have an hourglass shape, reduce stress levels as with stress you release cortisol a hormone that causes weight gain, lies. Science dares to tell you to drink water before meals knowing very well that it has informed you before that you should take water 10 minutes after your meals. Oh, science I am tempted to ask why you behave this way. Now, you need to know that for successful weight loss you must ignore the science as it is bound to mislead you. If you were only interested in the ...
