#Parenting is just a cycle of rebellion. Looking at post-colonial #Zambia, I found similarities between parenting and nation building.

What can an African country like #Zambia boast of that 'developed countries' dream of?

I talk about our silent wins in this short blog post.

In fact, it’s not uncommon for Zambians to have a light-hearted disagreement over who gets to host or entertain a visitor

One day, the person you love to publicly hate will die.

Your attempts to say nice things about them will be seen as hypocrisy by 'your' public.

You already killed their public influence, now their physical death weighs heavy on you as you feel the judgement of the public.

If only you had known.

Some #Pregnancy stories from a husband. #humor

A husband with more than one child has likely seen or experienced fake repentance from the wife. "I can't go through this pain again. This is the last baby."

She got healed and now on her 3rd repentance while you still heal from trauma of 1st birth.

I responded to a @wordpress.com writing prompt to kickstart my blogging year. Talking about my mission led me to mentioning #Duolingo and Imposter Syndrome. Here's the link:

You really cannot run from flying when the time comes. The comfort in your comfort zone disappears, leaving you with no choice but to #fly.

Your may be among chicken but you're an Eagle. Fly!

Take off and let 2025 find you in the sky.

You cannot run from flying when the time comes.

Your environment will become hot for you or you will become too hot for your environment.

Either way, you will fly

People who realize they've hurt someone are usually ready for punishment. The don't expect mercy. Guilt does that to them.

Be different. Forgive.

Are you struggling to find acceptance and forgiveness from someone you've disappointed?

Sometimes love manifests itself as disappointment, with accompanying words of disappointment and anger.

That disappointed person may be struggling with processing the betrayal he/she feels.

Give them time.
