Kama Ugali wa ulezi ni afya basi kasheshe yake utaiona pale utakapo enda faraghani ndio somo kubwa nilijifunza, na nikakomaza mikono hadi leo ina malenge lenge... Ilikuwa mwaka mmoja tulipokubwa na njaa kijijini kwenye familia yetu, akili ya kuomba ilisinyaa kabisa, ndipo nikamwambia Baba wenzetu wanapataje chakula sisi tukose? Kuwa mtoto wa mwisho kuna hatari yake, wenzangu wote kipindi hicho wapo mijini, ndio Mzee Kadenge na Mimi Kadenge mdogo, tulipozaam msituni na kazi kubwa huko ilikuwa ni kukata msitu na ...

Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakens                                                                             Carl Jung Introduction It was almost five years ago while journaling some ideas one evening that I noticed a novel beginning to emerge on the screen of my mind, and then onto the screen of my computer. At the time, ...

This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day,Thou canst not then be false to any man.                                                         William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2   The problem, however, is how can you be true to yourself when you don’t even know who you are or what you ...

Introduction Human beings on the face of this earth have a unique and special place they occupy as creators, innovators and dominators. It is a misnomer to find humans being dominated and pertrified by circumstances and disasters. They are the solution and should take charge of their collective destinies. In this segment, I am going to tackle on the issue of creativity. Why should you create? There is no special people who are made to create, you too can create something once you ...

What is it?  Whatever it might be, it seems something or someone was on my trail. If we allow our imagination, we may see it as an orb from interdimensional space looking for some crazy person to take a picture of it. And yet I don't recall anything whizzing by that day while climbing in the mountains. But let's keep an open mind -- that doesn't mean something wasn't there. Obviously I don't I see what cats and my digital camera ...

THE ONE IN THE MANY AND THE MANY IN THE ONE  THE SCHOOL OF ATHENS Roman fresco by Raphael Scuola di Atene, Italian Renaisance painter   For centuries Western intellectuals... the ones who influence our precepts and cultural direction, have been divided between Plato and his student Aristotle. What do I mean by that? Take a look at their fingers. Plato has one finger pointed upwards, indicating the One in the vertical transcendence of all that is. Aristotle, however, is more worldly minded and has several ...

What is a hero?  The answer will vary depending on who you ask, but I think most people would agree that a hero is someone who has saved another person or group from a terrible situation and/or prevented a tragedy.  What makes them super?  Is it their gifts and talents or the fact that they help people day after day, again and again? After years of working outside the home, buying into various entrepreneurial programs, trying MLM and still not finding ...

I actually NEVER liked the eurovision song contest! BUT the fun fact about SWEDEN (my country of origin. Now I'm a citizen of the world :) is that his song played on the radio a few months ago. I was at a total lost as to it actually being a eurovision entry. But it was a REALLY catchy song, sort of pop/funk. I digged. It was actually just a few days ago I found out he's our representative in the EUROVISION!! AND WHO ...

Roger Moisan, Founder/Director, Freedom for Musicians At the beginning of 2016, I had an idea that I wanted to do something digitally/online that would help fellow musicians and be something that I could give back to the industry. My legacy if you like. Now, I had no idea what it would be or how to do it so I set about learning the tech, digital marketing and website building. This was quite daunting for this fifty-something dinosaur but I quickly discovered that ...

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself American President Franklin D Roosevelt during his campaign in 1932   But why should we fear fear since this too is fear? Maybe it would have been better to use some other word rather than fear, but I can’t think of anything quite as catchy. Saying the only thing we have to be concerned about is worry doesn't do it... and so Roosevelt made his point most convincingly. In this post, I have featured ...

I've posted a few sample photos of what I enjoy doing when not writing the Elysium's Passage series, Mostly these are from my mountain climbing ventures in western Canada over the last 15 years.

Pics above and below: I wasn't sure if I'd be able to make it across a precipitous chasm nearby. There wasn't much footing and what ...

I know I use to really feel society's pressures regarding who I should be, what I should look like, and what I should do with my life.  But do ...

WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO IT! So many times you can hear people preach about how easy you can make yourself a positive person. Truth is, it takes hard work to learn a positive aspect of life. I don't care what anyone says to motivate you to be positive. How can you just go through the motions and take others advice? Then, transform into a positive human being. No, I don't believe in it. I don't believe in that. The first thing ...

Everyone of us was born with intrinsic gifts, talents and abilities, however many have not been able to fully use and benefit from those gifts and talents. There are many people who are very gifted in writing, in music, art, creative designs, life coaching and mentoring etc. Despite those apparent gifts, not many people have been able to bridge the gap between using their gifts and also benefiting from those. I remember at one time when we were young, my ...
