I know, all of you know I am a mother by now. I have been talking about my baby (I am so in love with her) on here and everywhere. I also became a wife to a man who inspired me to become a better version of myself and who continues to inspire me everyday to discover more about who I am and who I can be. Showing me that life has limitless possibilities, the limits being only those that we impose upon ourselves.
How can I then surpass all this next year? Now that it is a time of reflection on what happened in the past year and set new goals for the next?
I believe that setting a goal not to backtrack on progress already made is a good goal in itself. A mistake a lot of us make is to relax once we achieve our target weight, look, fitness...after all, we don't have to work so hard anymore. Finding balance to maintain it is difficult. I intend to work everyday at finding balance.
Speaking balance, I will continue working on finding balance between family, my business, and my personal life. Being mothers and wives we tend to lose our personal identity. We become, Mrs So & So, Mama so & so. We shrink into that quiet accompaniment to our husbands and children. I am fighting to keep my identity, personal growth will make me a better wife and mother. I am proud to be Mama Njoki, and be known as the wife of so & so, but before I became all these, I was known as me. The juggling act gets tiring, but I enjoy most of it.
I promise myself not to let life affect me I have noticed that I have become more distrusting, giving my personality up to influence by the lying, thieving, hypocritical, ruthless and unforgiving society we have become. I have become more cynical, I have become afraid of everything and nothing in particular. I have hardened my heart and found reason not to care about what injustice I see right outside my doorstep. I promise to keep my heart open and not become what society is shaping us to be everyday.
That's it for now! I hope you have an active 2013!

That is some interesting and heart warming reflections. Growing as individuals, challenge and break the ceiling of our comfort zone is something we need to do continously. If not we will not only come to a standstill but even shrink as human beings. I am proud of you! Baba Njoki
