We all have those days when you just need a pick me up. {If you've never had such, please raise your hand and go sit in the self righteous corner while the rest of us indulge :D} Well, today was one of those for me, where nothing was really making sense, I had an El Nino of self doubt and felt like I was crushing under the weight of the entire universe which had been dumped on my shoulders. Ruben Studdard's I need an angel has been on replay. Quick SOS to Heaven, I needed a serious pick me up. I thank God I bumped into this motivational video by Les Brown - he is one of my all time favorite motivational speakers. A few statements got me {I had to write them down below} and were just what I needed to hear. I packed up the pity party crew and kicked 'em outta my head. Overcome the negative conversations going inside of you. Learn how to empower yourself by standing up to yourself. Watch that inner dialogue.{It is interesting how sometime we can be so hard on ourselves...

Another favorite from Season 3. Juliana & Flavor have awesome chemistry, makes the song more enjoyable. Their vocals are also on point in this set. Crossing my fingers that these two get to the coke studio album. Yes, I have already voted for them :-). Enjoy

I'll be on about this for the entire season of Coke Studio so just play along :-). Now, my 2nd favorite mash up from Season 3 is 2Face & Vanessa Mdee. First time I watched their performance I was like naah, ain't feeling this one. I played it a 2nd time just to be sure I don't feel it and surprisingly enough, it grew on me. It's fun and danceable beat got me hook. Not to mention the lyrics:  {Not too sure on some of the wordings though} Ni Moyo wako, tenda mazuri  Jifurahishe na jikubali, Ni jukumu lako how you live your life,  So live it like you should, don't live ..... and don't forget to dance* Usijali maneno ya wanaopiga kelele,  We songea kati kwa shangwe na vigelegele* Today being a chilly & rainy day, this song is definitely top of my playlist to shake off the cold. Enjoy.       

Coke Studio is back again and the mashups that have debuted are awesome. Whoever came up with the idea is a super genius. In the spirit of sharing, I'm gonna be posting a few here. Mostly the ones that I fancy. To start with, Julianna & Flavor did such an amazing job on their set. Listening & watching this just gave me goose-bumps. Not to mention the chemistry between them oh la la la la. When you get two amazing artists & pair them up, explosive. Indulge.

Happy New Month :-).  We are already in October, only two months to go and we bid 2015 kwaheri. This year has flown by so fast but I'm grateful to God for the abundant grace to get through most of what I had put my mind to when it started. Have I accomplished everything? Of course not!! Till we get to December 31st 11.59:59, I still have time to wrap up my 2015 projects.. or so I encourage myself .  At times, we rush through life trying to get things done and ensure that we provide a comfortable life for ourselves & families that we forget to stop, take a deep breathe and just let the cold air make its way through our lungs slowly. I'm guilty of getting so caught up in the rat race that is my day to day life that more often than not I've lost sight of what is important. It got so bad that for a long time I operated like a zombie, wake up - grind - study - eat - sleep & the cycle begins again. All this changed though. One day while on my way home there was s...
