Lorna Achieng’ Omondi - CDF General Francis Ogolla's daughter: Let’s not entirely lose ourselves in mourning; let’s celebrate a life well-lived. He gave his all in pursuit of excellence. Failure was never an option in his mind.
The bold person in Kenya today is not the one who stands before a gun and shouts "Kill me"! It is one who stands against graft and says "Do not steal." You can stand before a gun because you've corrupted the gun wielder. But standing against graft threatens the gun holder.
Sometimes it’s hard being a parent.
Your time isn’t your own.
Your space isn’t either.
You get frustrated, annoyed, angry.
That’s all normal. Go easy on yourself.
And then pivot to gratitude.
My group in the The Men's Book Breakfast covered sections of the book “Dad is Destiny” by @smbevi.
We had enriching discussions moderated by Ashuza Romuald . We also heard some personal “growing up” experiences from participants .

I overheard my nine year old talking to his seven-year old brother on lies. He told him, "It is better to suffer a little for telling the truth than be in big trouble for lying." #kidsgotwisdomtoo
