 It is prudent to trust your natural instinct, before making a decision that will have a long-term impact. Living a happy life deserves having a family with members that think alike. Make the right choice when choosing a marriage partner because that is the person whom you are going to spend the rest of your life with. As a person, you can't live in isolation and the basic unit of a society is a family. Single life is quite boring. Ignite your conscious mind. Hang out with friends who add value to your life.  In case you are looking for a lifetime partner whose interests align with yours, then visit places that interest you the most.  You might find your potential partner right there 'waiting' for you. It's better to understand someone well before you propose or accept any partnership offer.  Character matters most, then beauty follows. Never fall for beauty at first glance, because you might be disappointed along the way. Your interests should align and merge your l...

  Romantic love is touted as one of the major scam, owing to the unpredictability of human thinking. You might be deeply in love now, but the next minute you are sworn enemies.  Circumstances under which you attract your partner changes with time. This also applies to things such as shape and appearance. You might have fallen in love due to personal looks, but human appearance changes with age.  As you grow you might fail to meet the demands of your partner's sight.  Love life is replete of intrigues and intricacies which is beyond human control. You might be static in thinking, yet your heart is dynamic.  The common love saying that goes by 'follow your heart' is what dictates every relationship. For any relationship to thrive, you have to go against the current. Many relationships in contemporary world are failing to meet the test of time because human preferences are changing at faster rates. Material things have compounded the natural essence of love. Many p...

  Life is a journey, not a destination. I wrote a descriptive article praising someone who wasn't mine by any description. Since my fallout with Phoebe Walukhu , I never thought I would ever find someone who could give me unconditional love the way she did. I was outrightly wrong. Joan Simiyu perfectly replaced Phoebe, and sealed the love injuries that I was inflicted with on the previous relationship. Joan and I became acquainted on January 08th 2023. It coincided with the second birthday of my beloved boy Liam Kerre . What started as a joke, later blossomed into frequent conversations and lovely exchanges. The scion of the Bameme clan, bukusu subtribe had finally found a lovely, lively ever smiling progeny of the Bayumbu clan, tachoni subtribe. Love makes more sense when it falls to the rightful pair. A lady who hails from the outskirts of Webuye, a village called Kakimayi, had won the heart of a man who resistingly was thinking much of his other love life, gone sour....

While his mother had the privilege of choosing the name Liam, the surname was reserved for me and I had to name after my grandfather whose name was Vincent Kerre. Just as his father who was named after his paternal great grandfather Webala, Liam was named after his paternal great grandfather Kerre. The name Liam had been ratified by both of us, after his mother proposed the name and after going through popular baby names in the United States in 2021, Liam topped the list. I hadn’t planned to name him after my grandfather Kerre, but the instinct of doing so occurred at the time when the hospital birth registry demanded that we submit the child’s name. My wife Phoebe and I had not discussed about the surname Kerre, but she finally obliged my proposal. Back to the Roots My grandfather Vincent Kerre was born in 1917 to the Late Webala Murandafu of the bameme clan and a luo woman named Silonyo . Kerre died on 21/10/1993 at the age of 76 years in a grisly road accident near Kimilili town....
