Issues??? Yes? No? Mhhh!!! A<br />

roller coaster of emotions...<br />

(Lily Alabastron Season 27)<br />

I heard about Alabastron from my friend<br />

Faith in June 2016 (who has not done the program).<br />

Her opinion was that it helps women with problems learn how<br />

to deal. Hahahaha! She made it seem like it was a therapy for<br />

women with ‘issues’. But I came to learn later on that an<br />

experience becomes an issue when handled wrongly.<br />

I mentioned it to my mother who had been told so much about<br />

it by her friend Khadija who had gone through the program.<br />

Khadija was very positive. She told me that it is a program that<br />

helps women learn about themselves and how to influence. A<br />

place to equip and guide women on how to know what is important,<br />

how to handle challenges and every day experiences<br />

that come up. I believe it was not my time, but when l was told<br />

about it, at that point in my life, l was ready to try anything to<br />

get unstuck.<br />

I think I was entangled (learnt the value of this word in<br />

Alabastron) in a lot of things that did not make me a better<br />

person or add value to my life. I enrolled in search of peace.<br />

My life was just ‘MATHOGOTHANIO’ (kikuyu word that best<br />

explains ‘mixed up’). I was at breaking point, a walking person<br />

following a routine but not really living.<br />
