@consecrated: Glad to be of service. Any questions you may have, the inbox is open. Other than that, make sure you sign up for the newsletter and I have a show on SARFM radio once every month and you can find out more right here: http://www.thedisplacedafrican.com/1316/listen-as-mwangi-becomes-a-radio-star/ and the only word of advice I would have for you is never lose sight of what brought you to the States, take action on it daily and be very careful who your friends are and what you allow into the floodgates of your mind.

hey Mwangi, just wanna say that this blog is so needed in my life right now. It really makes things clear about this new life and it hits the nail on the head. I haven’t gotten through all the articles but whenever i read one article i just wanna read more and more. And thanks for stressing to us that we should focus on the action rather than the reading, research, e.t.c. Someone should have said this a long time ago!!!! Thank God for this and it’s one day at a time for me here in the U.S. as i get more accustomed to the culture.

Hey akiey,
Thanks for the contribution. If anyone can empathize with you over finger fatigue it’s me so we’re together on that one.
Thanks for adding that point. I think I will complement that by adding the often used quote by Marriane Williamson:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Spot on again mister! Spoken like a seasoned veteran and you sure laid it out bare & clear. It takes going through life altering situations and challenges to make one a determined & succesful immigrant in any nation.

My personal experience has been: the greater the odds against you, the harder you work to make it through & the sweeter the success(s).

I’d only add one point to what you’ve so eloquently pointed out…
“Dream, keep dreaming & dream big. If you can drive it, then you can live it.”
