Reviving 'The Activist' Blog.

It's being a long while that I visited different blogs like I used to do. It has equally being some time since I last focused on any activism theme that my blog is known for. It is sure a time to revive 'The Activist' Blog and go back to those overarching issues.

I am going to have a very busy academic year as am back to the university doing my Masters. King's College London is a tough school of excellence and the African Leadership Centre is a tougher fellowship administrator. I have to combine so many rigorous activities and on top of this list is to revive 'The Activist' Blog, contribute to many online discussions on the blogshpere like I used to do and excel exceedingly in my studies.

I will take everything step by step. But it is much easier when one is sure of what to do and makes plans towards achieving them.

You will always be a friend




When I said you will always be a friend, I meant it
When I said I could forgive you anything, it's from the heart
When I said I will always be there for you, it was not in vain
When I said you were special, yes in every way
When I said my dignity and integrity not negotiable, they are not
You said goodbye, not so much in words but it was understood
I kept my distance, I may do so forever
But one thing is certain; you will always be a friend

The Bright Sky


Cloud dissipation,
the herculean task of the mind
Dark clouds away,
the bright sky is taking charge

Cats on Tuesday: England without my Cats




I have missed bragging about my cats!!! My sweet sweet Scofield and Garfield. I am off to school in England in a few weeks and taking them with me is not an option. My husband will be joining me in a few weeks and I wonder who will be in charge of my cats. Nobody for now. I choose not to worry about how I will sort this out yet because am trusting God and the Universe! My cats will be fine but will I be fine without having them snuggling next to me for the next one year?




They have being good kids. Socfield skin issue is still a big concern but am sure again that he will be fine. Hey all cat lovers on Gattina Cats on Tuesday... say hello to all my lovely purr angels!!!
My Passion, my focus, the change that I want to see in the world - is my propellent factor.
