It's Being Awhile

June was really cold. I was near frozen most of that month, probably the reason I have no posts. Therefore it was a great month to digest some more on branding. This week has being great, okay, it's not over yet but so far so great. I will be going for the Phenomenal Woman gathering at the Grand Regency this Saturday. The theme is " Make it happen! Create your own success" and I am looking forward to it. The speakers include Carol Mandi, Editor for True Love East Africa edition Magazine, Eunice Mathu, she of Parents magazine fame, Queen Ramotsehoa from SA "am a consciousness professional coach like none you have encountered. Passion is the closest word I can find to describe my utmost belief in the process that allows people to reawaken their true, worthy selves." (a Google results) and Wanjiku Wairia, a nutritionist among others. I am definitely looking forward to the offering they will have in place for us and I am all set to network.

I spoke to Rozie(great lady who is forever young), today about personal branding, I want her to be a trainer for our foundation. She is hesitant but I know she is going to be great, some people have enough enthusiasm about life and knowing her struggles with her daughter's bipolar condition, she encourages me to do so much more for the society( I'm learning). So, I told her about setting a blog up to showcase Kimmy's(great talented girl)poems and artistic works(she sings & dances too) and we will be doing that soon.

I sent out an article I found on the net from William Arruda to generate interest on some branding talks I am planning and the feedback is great. So, my work is cut out for me regards the Personal Branding talks. I am excited and totally looking forward to the process. Guess my communication skills are going to improve radically. Thanks Rozie for the encouragement!

I am also reading, intensely Al & Laura Ries's '22 Immutable Laws of Branding' which has a bonus of the '11 Immutable Laws of Internet Branding' and it's great reading. The info is amazing, try & grab a copy if you dont have one yet.

Remembering Captain Kwame Waikenda

A year ago, April rolled in and you were gone. This is my tribute then and my tribute even now. Hope you have met my Suzs. Miss you. Kwame burst into my life with a smile and a witty remark that had me smiling and enthralled for life. He wasn't just Aunty Susan's nephew, he became my nephew too and a friend who loved me for me and always treated me with respect even though he would tease me mercilessly at times, he never at any one time showed me anything but utter respect. He made sure to stay in touch even in the days of handwritten letters, he would take time out and send me a letter or two. In the recent past whenever he landed, he would call me up to say 'hello, Mama Kris I am in town, let's meet' . And it would always be a surprise and I would be amazed by his thoughtfulness and consideration that in the few days he had in town, he would make time to see me. He did not only tell me I was a queen, he treated me as one and I felt honoured by his undivided atte

Capt. Kwame K. Waikenda

HIGH FLIGHT Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter—silvered wings; Sunward I have climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun—spilt clouds, - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of— Wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence, Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft though footless halls of air............... Up, up the long, delirious burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark or ever eagle flew— And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high un-trespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. - John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Rules the World by William Ross Wallace (1819-1881)

Blessings on the hand of women!  Angels guard its strength and grace. In the palace, cottage, hovel,  Oh, no matter where the place; Would that never storms assailed it,  Rainbows ever gently curled,  For the hand that rocks the cradle  Is the hand that rules the world.  Infancy's the tender fountain,  Power may with beauty flow,  Mothers first to guide the streamlets,  From them souls unresting grow —  Grow on for the good or evil,  Sunshine streamed or evil hurled,  For the hand that rocks the cradle  Is the hand that rules the world.  Woman, how divine your mission,  Here upon our natal sod;  Keep – oh, keep the young heart open  Always to the breath of God!  All true trophies of the ages  Are from mother-love impearled,  For the hand that rocks the cradle  Is the hand that rules the world.  Blessings on the hand of women!  Fathers, sons, and daughters cry,  And the sacred song is mingled  With the worship in the sky —  Mingles where no tempest darkens,  Rainbows evermore are hu
