What I wore: New Neutrals

There was a time when black,white and grey were the only neutrals I wore. Then I added navy blue to the mix. Now I gravitate towards browns and khaki greens as my neutrals.

I never used to like green or brown in any form but for some reason, I'm loving them more and more now. Maybe it has to do with all the earth tones I've been seeing fashion lovers wearing lately.

Even so, this outfit is me trying not to wear trousers in this frigid, uncertain weather that we're currently experiencing in Nairobi. I learned that wearing several layers is perfect when you live in a place where you experience multiple weather patterns in one day. So the coat will come off when the sun is up and get put back on when the temperatures dip.

The versatility of these boots has surprised me. I've managed to style them more times than I thought I would like this time when I wore them with a navy dress. I like their light brown colour adds makes any dull outfit brighter.

How I Learnt To Leave Everything in God's Hands

For a long time (about four years), things hadn't been going the way I had hoped and planned. Everything seemed to be falling apart. To say that I was stressed is an understatement. I would sit on my bed asking God why he would allow so many bad things to happen to me. I would ask him when my light at the end of the tunnel was going to appear. It reached a point where I basically gave up. I couldn't even bring myself to ask God to bless me with this or that. I would often say to myself, "What's the point? My prayers won't even get answered. Something bad is still going to be waiting for me around the corner no matter how hard I pray." I knew all the teachings that we should always have faith in God. I would often recall that hymn that comes from Isaiah 49:15, 'Can a mother forget a baby at her breast and have no compassion for the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will never forget you.' And verse 16 of the same chapter, 'See ...

Rediscovering myself

A few blog posts ago I alluded to struggles I'd been facing for a few years now. I said that I would address these issues here soon but honestly, I didn't know when would be a good time. So I thought that today is as good a day as any. Last year I was diagnosed with trauma. It had been years in the making, a result of an emotionally abusive relationship and years of challenging events with seemingly no respite in sight. Although I had eventually gotten out of the relationship, I had unconsciously allowed this person's opinions of me become so ingrained in me that I had lost all knowledge of my former self. I lacked self-confidence. I blamed myself for many things that had happened in my life. I was perpetually sad and struggled to find even the smallest things to smile about. I had no motivation to do even those things that I loved. I would take photos and see my smiling face but deep down I knew that was just a front. I was broken, a shell of my former self. Now I'm no...
