Celebrating 8 yrs of partnership with my house maid. 8 yrs ago today, Betty joined as a maid. She has been able to build a house in her village. Loyalty is a 2-way street. Treat workers well & they will work till retirement.
She has gifted me a turkey for being a gd employer 😄
The most memorable day in my life-getting my parents to the city for the 1st time to witness my grad at Makerere. Some "friends" asked me to hire 2 vibrant people to act as my parents cz my real parents were not presentable😢. But hey, being authentic opens doors. Embrace it!
I'm looking for a mature & experienced driver. A physically, mentally & emotionally steady individual,one who can sustain a good & relevant conversation. Accommodation and meals will be provided in addition to a monthly chq.Any leads?
I'm taking notes & will reach out accordingly
At some point in my life, I was struggling 2 make ends meet. My phone stopped ringing, "Friends" left, but I learnt;
- Always be ready to survive alone.
- Pple will love u as much as they can use u
- Hard times reveal true friends
- Prioritize people who are with u at ur lowest
Mother daughter moments ❤️
We are only 16, please. We are still work in progress. Be kind to us 🙏
Parenting tip; Ur child will learn more from watching u rather than listening to u. Model the behaviour u want to see from ur child & they will likely follow ur lead.
So, I turned up for Davido's show in full combat gear kumbe ba children babera easy just like that? Clearly, i missed the memo, but eeh, i was scandalised.
We need to pray for our gender. This level of exposure is worrisome 😢

I went to "3rd" World schools, I doubt they can be located on the Google maps.
Started selling pancakes on the roadside to get fees at the age of 6
Started speaking fair English at 16, prio to that it was World War
Got my 1st pair of shoes at 15/16

I have learnt in life that no amount of anxiety will change ur future & no amount of regret can change ur past. The key is acceptance. With acceptance comes the ability to respond. Understand what u can & can't control, Don't fight against reality. Work with it
Blessed day!
I didn't wear makeup on my marriage event - Okweranga(Kwanjula). Did I die?
These days, people wear tonnes of makeup that you can hardly recognise them. I hear people hire kwanjula venues as well, eeeh, how did we get here?
Let's be kind to the boy child. Be true 2 ourselves.
Eight(8) years ago today, Papa walked me down at 87 years. Emotional & priceless moment it was! He was ailing at the time but determined to see me off properly. Three(3) years later, he signed out peacefully at 90 ❤️
Everyone is running their own race, in their own time. Don't envy them. One is still single while their agemate is a grandparent. Obama retired at 55 &Trump started at 70 So every one works based on their time zones. Ppl may seem ahead others behind, Relax & focus on ur own race.
At it again at Parliament 2de before Finance committee -20% increase in taxes on spirits.
Btw, increasing taxes doesn't translate 2 increased revenue collection by govt. Instead, prices go up, sales drop leading 2 a decline in annual tax revenues to govt. Experts, where are you?
I'm grateful that I attract abundance. I choose to vibrate in the frequency of love and joy. Let's drop anger & hatred vibrations.
Don't block ur blessings by seeking revenge. Rotten fruits will fall by themselves. Mindset change!
Blessed Sunday.
Monday wedding guest.

I am proud to be part of your love story, Mr. ONA.
Happy birthday to the one who made me a Mom at only 22, I was naive, didn't know what 2 expect at the time. Becoming a Mom at a young age was the most exciting and most terrifying adventure in my life. I faced many challenges but it paid off. Happiest 15th B.D Angel Bernice.
The man or woman you choose to be your partner affects everything in ur life, ur mental health, your peace of mind, ur happiness, ur success, the love inside of u, how u go thru tragedies etc.
let's get our brains in gear before making decisions on matters of the heart.
Good day!
My highlight of the week!
I'm blown away at how clear, simple & humble the RT Hon. Speaker of Parliament of Uganda
@AnitahAmong
is. I had an upclose engagement with her this morning as we discussed matters of national importance-economy & Beer!
God bless my fellow Nalongo ❤️
A random person has cleared my bill at a restaurant. Waiter walks 2 me with a receipt, maam ur bill has been cleared by the other gentleman, I turn to look at the person, he smiles, waves 👋 & walks away. Any need 2 worry oba these are small small things?
Nice weekend, tho 😄
#selfcare
Self care is not a luxury it's a necessity. Making urself a priority is not being self centred it's about being self-aware.
These days, we see people in their youthful yrs looking like zinjathropus. Pls let's take care of ourselves, eat and drink in moderation 🙏
Naturally endowed, I mean Uganda is gifted by nature. Fresh waters flow inward and outward. I love me and my country 🇺🇬
Have a wonderful weekend people, appreciate every single day, every hr & every moment. Life can change anytime.
I have observed that everybody looks okay until u get to have a deeper conversation with them. We are simply a sad generation with happy faces & beautiful pix. We hide our struggles & failures, hence creating a false sense of reality. The world doesn't really care, so we have to
#Roadtripenjoyments
I'm totally sorted with the cassava at Kafu on the Gulu- Kampala highway. From the shape to the taste, plus ka black tea complete with lemon grass, I'm good. Ebya French fries are for bu baby obunonya ba Daddy, nze veteran let me stick to cassava 😄
How safe is our data? I walk to an agent for a svc, I'm asked for my no, I say slowly, louder madam agent asks kumbe someone behind is saving the ka number, I walk away. Shortly, i get a cal, lady we have met at the MM agent. Can we catch a drink.. eeeh, that gender is fast! 😃
I will make it on some list someday 😆. For now, let me focus on being a good human being. I have learned that traditional learning only gets u so far. Soft skills do the magic. Become the best version of yourself. Love, money & success will chase u.
Nice weekend gd people!
Stepping into Friday with avengeance complete with a fresh, clean, and refreshing fragrance.
The weekend, will ask for water and beer 😄
Fall in, we indulge in a light and enjoyable experience.
Good things take time. You may be yearning for something & it's taking long. Stay focused. What is yours will find u. Build yourself, be strong & show up for yourself. No one is coming 2 save u, be your own hero!
I'm sending love to those who stand up 4 others. U are our heroes.
Water is the mirror of nature. In one drop of water are found all the secrets. Nothing is softer & more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. Take water at different intervals. Space ur hard drinks with H2O
Mbu, it can keep you away from Kalahari Desert. I'm no expert😆
It was refreshing walking the streets of downtown Kampala peacefully today after 6yrs. A lot has changed, there is alot of green and walkways are clear. People were going about their daily hassles. Save for the random comments from people😄.
Kudos to the authorities 🙏
Thanking God for another year!
As i celebrate my birthday today, I delist myself from the order of women who work & another enjoys their labour. I belong 2 the order of women who will fulfil their dreams. For me, each day is a festival of joy.
Happy B.D, Tahakanizibwa.
I had a great catch-up today with Min of state for sports

The sector i represent is a strong supporter of sports. We inject over 9Bn Ugx in sports activities annually. AFCON 2027 👍
5 yrs ago today, Dad signed out at 90. Love & care 4 ur parents while they are alive because there is no healing after losing a parent!
Before his passing, he told me; the man u marry is not a bank, never pressure him for money, make ur own money. I obliged! Rest in Power Tata 🙏

Good weekend with mama upctry. At close 2 90, we are embracing ageing. We have accepted the natural power of ageing & are finding beauty & wisdom in each stage of life. Lets spend time with our parents while we can coz one day wn u wake up frm ur busy life, they will be no more.
Celebrating 82 fine years of a fine man who gave me a fine gentleman to keep me fine every day. Happy birthday, Daddy!
I promise to keep u on my cabinet list forever. I'm glad i can get up-upclose with my inlaw without fear of judgement. It's a taboo in some cultures😆

We grow when we face challenges. U maybe going thru a challenge right now, it may be difficult & it may appear insurmountable but remember every season has a purpose. Sometimes God holds u back temporarily until the road is safe & clear to continue. Be thankful for the stall.
Do u ever feel like time is working against u and u are late to meet ur goals? worry not, just coz something is delayed doesn't mean its cancelled, God's timing isn't man's timing. If God has ordained something 4 u, the stars & universe aligns. Keep believing. Have a good week.
We need to live within our means, budget carefully, avoid loans 2 finance ur lifestyle. I was asked 2de why I drive a "small" car, yet i'm a "budding" corporate.
My ans; it's what I can afford, I love to live my life with no tension. Many corporates are buried under debt😢

My throwback note today: Never judge the future of a person in their current situation. Time has the power to change the black coal into a shiny diamond. U may not be where u want to be now, but u are somewhere. Always measure progress by how far you have
#tunyuke
Greetings from the home of BellLager. I beg to request that Tunyuke tutandike weekend assignments that include but not limited to enjoyments.
Everything else can wait for Monday. The world won't stop spinning if u take some time to relax.
Indulge responsibly 🙏
We had a good catch-up today with the Katikiro of Buganda Owek.
@cpmayiga
to discuss matters of national importance-the future of the adult beverages. Glad the kingdom has pledged to collaborate with the sector to preach against excessive consumption of alcohol and illicit drinks.
I think i am naive, so what does the phrase "You will ask for water" mean? which water exactly? Can someone elucidate? because today, someone told me that "Jackie, if u give me a chance to meet you, u will ask for water.. I am confused. Someone help.
Otherwise, happy holidays!
Happy to share, I have taken on a new assignment as Chairman of Alcohol Sector in Uganda

#thoughts
Comparison is a distraction. Stay away from the spirit of competition,run ur own race. Focus on developing ur strength, not reacting to the strength of others. Pple are drained cz of competition. Success in anythg takes patience. Run ur own race & believe u will win 🙏
#ThrowbackThursday
I was raised to cherish & respect people irrespective of cultural b/grounds, tribe, race, size, shape, status, etc. When i see people, I see humanity! God bless the King & the pple of Buganda

@cpmayiga
introducing me to the Kabaka.
I'm still work in progress but a firm believer that anything good in life is a process & takes time. What is happening to u now is preparing u for that imminent breakthrough. Our current state is not indicative of ur final destination. Believe to achieve.
Love what you have before life teaches u to love what you lost. Life has a funny way of teaching us. It will create chaos in our lives so we may appreciate the peaceful times & it will take those we love away from us so we truly understand what their presence meant 2 us. Love now
My ask for Xmas was simple - Get me out of the crowded city, take me to the farm and gift me some cows. Now I am sorted, i can't ask for more. I'm modest like that..
It's refreshing to connect with nature.
Is anyone in Kigezi? Let's connect!
Eid well spent with Mama in the village. Mother is Mother no matter how old she becomes.
No one can replace Mama.
Shout out to all Mothers on earth and in heaven.
Greetings from the tax man, Mr. Musinguzi
@URA_CG

He needs the grace of God to collect taxes. He is open to ideas on how to broaden the tax base rather than raising the tax rates. Plus, ideas on how to manage Efris issues with traders 🙏
With this kind of weather in Kampala on Eid day(Eid for slaughtering animals), i believe many more animals are going to be slaughtered tonight 😢.
Happy Eid Al- Adha to our brothers and sisters celebrating the day. Please do so responsibly 🙏
I'm in Nyabushozi now.
In my humble observation, only 3 things apply here, God(Ruhanga), the President of the Day, and Cows(Rwabunyana) abalala temutagala😄
Over 100 cows have been given out at this event so far, nyakuha ente, still waiting for cows I was given 8 yrs ago, thou😢
Does colour affect ur moods?
Today, I didn't feel like it, so i decided to boost my energy with a bright colour. How are you showing up today? Show up well regardless. The world needs the magic inside of you.
I'm sending you warm hugs and good wishes for the new week.
Go win!
Hoima! my weekend is in ur hands 🙏
I have officially signed out of the high-pressure city Kla. Anyone in the oil city? Let's touch base!
Meanwhile, i encourage us all to take a break 2 recharge

Pls join me in celebrating 48 years of our parents' love, trust, partnership, tolerance & tenacity.
These days, couples struggle to make a yr in marriage,things like kameeza money get them parking. I pray for us 2 learn that marriage isn't a race, we gat 2 build trust & true love
There is power in networking and making meaningful connections,
Some people go 4 events and stay glued in their seats the whole time. Is that maturity?The person on the next table may be ur next client, biz partner,boss,friend,be intentional

Someone asked me why I stay far from the city, and my ans was, I find peace in staying where I stay. Never judge people by where they live. Sometimes, there is more peace and love than you would get in a mansion or in high-end areas.
Sending u a burst of +ve vibes this weekend
Life can be over in a minute. Let's eat things!
Just the other day, it was smiles and laughter with the two men of substance. Today, one of them is gone. Clearly, nothing gives life more purpose than the realisation that every moment of consciousness is a precious and fragile
Dr. Martin Aliker taught me basic manners wn he charged at me for serving him a sandwich 4 lunch during one of the board meetings at

Chapter 11 of his book- his life in cabinet is👌 too much truth😄
RIP Dr🙏
Navigating through life with a mask is exhausting. Remove it & let the world see the real you. You will find a tribe that accepts you for you. Fitting in will kill ur potential, harm ur mental health & make u miserable. The rewards of authenticity are priceless.
Happy July 2 U 🙏
I am set to rock the weekend. It's been a long week talking abt taxes & regulation. It's time 2 loosen up. Let's look at life with a more playful eye. U can't be a deep thinker all the time. Pause, rest & restart. I am in for lite & playful conversations. Tusimbule!
Gd weekend!

Kind reminder to us as we hit the weekend; Man does not live by liquid alone. Please eat before indulging in hard liquids. Your body needs solids.
Nice weekend 🙏
#TBT
, growing up, my Dad told me not to worry too much about exam results but to focus on my personality & being a gd human being. Indeed, character, values, and +ve attitude count.
Super grades & hard skills are good but not enough. Your character & soft skills matter.
I'm laughing away to the new year. 2024 smells like peace of mind, money & success, be ready!
But we must put in the work, results come from action, not intention. Break free from the pressure to fit in, no faking lifestyle, be u & let's rock this last sat of the year!
NAM protocols are taking me so fast 😄
I am back to the grind after a peaceful break. Now, more than ever, we need a good supportive growth tribe, one that will bring light, set us up for opportunities & challenge us not only to think outside the box but to redefine the box 🙏
It's a new week. Focus more, smile more & grind harder. I'm rooting for all of us. Your best stories will come from ur struggles, and your praises will be birthed from ur pains. It may be tough today, but things will get better if you push and make smart choices.
Great week to u!
Weekend essentials in Mitooma Western Uganda. I have picked one key word from this event in Mitooma- "orasinde otahe" as in, if u feel u have hit your liquid intake limit, go home." I support it.
Meanwhile, the roads in this part of the ctry are neat👌
Nice weekend 🙏
Here is to a successful month!
In my jar this month - gratitude, kind words to people, hope for humanity, rest for the mind, healing for the body, love in my heart & indulging responsibly.
What is on ur radar this month?
Wishing you a productive month 🙏

Until it's my turn, I will keep clapping for others. I like this phrase, a reminder that it's key 2 celebrate others making progress in their lives. Acknowledge the fact that others will achieve greatness be4 us. Everyone has their own time 2 shine, wait 4 ur opportunity.
God is a miracle worker
Today, I cdnt hold back my tears as i watched my 4yr Zion make it to the finish line on his sports day. We were a few grams at birth, struggled 2 get out of ICU, had key surgeries, Docs gave up but here we are growing strong

Today's weather is frightful with limited remedies. How are you holding up? Have taken ka chai but wapi. Anyway, whatever you are doing to go through the cold weather, do so with care. Shd u choose 2 engage in 18+ activities like drinking adult beverages, please do so responsibly
To the new graduates, job hunting is a full-time job. Apply to jobs even if u don't meet all the criteria coz u will never be considered if u don't apply. Key is to get the 1st interview, then craft a convincing story. U just might land that job.
I speak from experience.
Best 🙏
Gd people depression is real, check on ur friends, colleagues & loved ones. Many out there are going thru a lot but put on a brave and smiley face. Economic & social issues are leading many 2 depression. Let's encourage each other. It's not over yet. Check in on someone today.

My pple, lets be careful who we give access to. Some people are heaven sent to help u, others sent to destroy u & others are just there for whatever they can get from u. I pray that God cuts down the grass in ur lives so u can see the snakes. Many smile with u but hate, secretly.
I'm sending love to u this season. While it's a merry time 4 some, it's the saddest, loneliest & stressful 4 others. Let's just be kind, give gd vibes, give hope, strength, mend a quarrel, 4give an enemy, apologise if u are wrong, write a love letter,choose love over hate. Bless!
It doesn't matter how often u go to church, cite bible verses, speak with spiritual eloquence, pray in public, or maintain a holy appearance, what matters is ur behaviour & how you treat people. Let's aim to leave a mark, not a scar in other people's lives.
Blessed Sunday 🙏
I'm still coming to terms with this move
@onapitoEkomolo2
has pulled on us..eeeeh! So you have left us in this boat just like that? Wherever you are, rest assured we shall soldier on as we wait for our turn.
This world is not our home!
I stayed home today waiting for government to count my particulars, but there was no sign of enumerators in my area. I think I'm in a hard to reach zone. We need a proper schedule showing when enumerators are expected in a particular area. Similar to UMEME' loadsheding schedule.
I dream of a society where we root for one another, push ourselves & others to the finishing line, celebrate with them & be there wn they fail. looking out for one another is underrated trait yet we loose nothing if we live our lives this way. There is enough room for all of us.
Better mental health starts with us,let's face it, we all have a mental health issue. It's the level that varies, be it depression, anxiety or how 2 cope with r/ships, we need to accept and seek help, speak up more, stop stigma. Psychotherapists & mental health talks ain't enough
