  • The Liebster Award

    Starting my year with a bit of fun!  Thank you Dora of Nilichoandika for the award nomination.  It was a great surprise to discover as I jump back into the blog for 2018!

    What’s The Liebster Award all about?

    The Liebster Award is a blogger award for new bloggers, those with few followers, who are still getting the hang of this dynamic industry. It is a fantastic way of giving exposure, recognition, and motivation to these talented newbies so as to keep their blogging fire blazing!

    Rules of the Liebster Award

    1. Create a new blog post with the graphical image of the Liebster Award as the one above.
    2. Thank the blogger who nominated you while also providing a link to their blog.
    3. Answer the Questions you had received from your Nominator(s).
    4. Nominate 10 bloggers and share your blog post with them so that they can accept their awards.
    5. Create a set of questions for your Nominees to Answer.

    Fantastic, let’s get started!

    • What would you say has been the highlight of your blogging experience this year (2017)?
      • The best  part of blogging in 2017 was getting personal messages in my email from readers who discovered my stories.  I can’t begin to express how exciting that gets, and I felt truly happy.  Getting fiction out there is hard work, and it was good to get such positive feedback from readers.
    • If you could pick a theme to blog about, any theme that scares you or you know very little about, what would it be and why?
      • Stocks and Bonds!! Hahaha…Okay, to be serious, anything IT oriented.  Stuff is changing so fast, it’s hard to keep up I think.
    • What’s the best and the worst part of being called a blogger?
      • The best part comes from someone following your blog, and connecting with you, truly.  The worst part…I haven’t discovered it yet.  Honestly. I will update that when it comes to me.

    My Questions:

    1. What Fantastic thing do you want to accomplish with your Blog this year 2018?
    2. What is your favorite topic to blog about?
    3. If you were to go on an adventure then blog about it, where would you go?
    4. How has your passion influenced what you blog about?

  • Art Adventures at the Hotel Waterbuck-Nakuru

     

    pack the bags
    taking a trip out of town

    It feels like it’s been a while since I went on a road trip, so this was incredibly fun.  Nothing on the mind, but being on the road, noting random things, lush green scenery and that family of zebras, having their lunch.

     

    lunch time
    So many
    What do they do with all these?
    They make a picture

    Nakuru was rainy when we got there, so our contact sent us a tuk tuk man.  I now believe everyone should have Mr. Ngugi when you first hit Nakuru.  He got us around town and answered a billion questions with patience.

    We had a stress free transport time thanks to him.

    The trip was a fun day out, but it was also for a conference, organized by Topserve Baking Accessories and supplies, who have relaunched their shop in Nakuru.  The Conference was held at Hotel Waterbuck, Nakuru.  While the event continued, it was hard to ignore these gems on the walls of this hotel.  So much art, there is no chance you will be bored checking in to this hotel.

     

     

    Ring, Ring….hahaha

    All that and a Cup of Coffee

    Nakuru is about 3hrs away from Nairobi.  Very quiet, very laid back, and definitely a lot of fun to be had.  New Goals after this trip –> Not to take everything too seriously, gotta take time to have fun.

    Check out Hotel Waterbuck next time you’re in Nakuru.  If not to stay overnight, then to eat, at their delish restaurant.
