A Dream Come True.

Hello and welcome -Karibu sana.

For as long as I can remember, writing has always been something that I have longed
to start but have never done so. Hayawi hayawi huwa- a swahili adage meaning something will finally happen even after a significant wait, has encouraged me through the time that the right time will eventually present itself, and I will be able to pour down my heart into words through ink and paper or so I think.

Today, that long awaited day is here. I couldn't be more excited to share this journey with you. I am excited that I am finally doing something that I find pleasure in despite some form of nervousness. I am super excited that I will be able to share my experiences, thoughts, and stories that have molded me to be who I am today with you. I sincerely cannot remember how many times I have postponed this. Might be due to laziness, procrastination, school commitments, church, and various what if's like "What if it won't be a good
enough read?" Based on what people deem as worth a
read, has always echoed loudly at the back of my mind and almost threw me down. Good news😊, amidst all these, there is a voice that has stood the test of time, firmly encouraging me again and again that Faith, you can for sure do this because, why not? You only need to start. I am glad that the desire never vanished away. I believe this is going to be an incredible journey with a lot to learning, unlearning, and relearning.

I am hereby creating this safe space where we can explore this greatest
treasure called life together. It has highs( like landing in a dream job and acing those exams after late night and early morning study sessions) and lows (like saying goodbye or losing the people we genuinely cared for) but that is what makes it balanced. Through this blog I will explore and celebrate safari ya maisha (the journey of life). We will get
an opportunity to grow at personal level, spiritually, mentally, and even physically, learn on how to develop gratitude even for the minutest things and in all circumstances. Many a times you will encounter phrases of Swahili, Ekegusii, Dholuo, French,  Spanish (languages that I hold dearly to my heart).

To everyone who has encouraged me knowingly and unknowingly, receive my heartfelt gratitude. And to you, my reader, thank you for being here to read my work. Without your presence, I could not
be here writing. I hope you find inspiration to chase your own "Hayawi hayawi huwa" dreams, despite of the time they have been on hold. Feel free to leave comments and feedback on what I should do better, and what resonates with you so that we can learn from our unique stories. I am persuaded that God's grace will lead us all the way, which leads me to one of my favorite hymn 516. "All the way our Savior leads us, what have we to ask beside, can we doubt His tender mercy who through life has been our guide? Whatever befalls us, Jesus leads us all the way and doeth all things well." Let's make this journey unforgettable!😄 Shalom and welcome once again!

    Writing can be such an emotional activity. The very act of opening up inakuanika to scructiny and a sense of vulnerability. It takes immense courage to share thoughts and ideas. I believe it is a very human activity that has helped many copy with a tumultuous world. Only courageous people have risen up to the task. It is indeed a feet few embrace. Kudos

Marriage: Yay or Nay?

August 2, 2025. So one day I will be married? Me? Me? Like me? The one who makes 10+ minutes voice notes debating on real soulmates and "marriage is a scam?" So one day I will be married? This thoughts hits me differently on different days. Sometimes it brings an exciting feeling that I can't totally resist. Other days I ask why in the world would I leave my grandma's home and commit to someone's son. So one day I will be married? Is this the version of me that will walk down the aisle? The one who overthinks the tone and mood in texts? The one who overuses emojis?🤭 The thought that one day, someone's son might wake up next to me, smell my breath, look at me while I am sleeping scares me. It's wild.  Weddings don't scare me. It's the "till death do us part." The part where we will say through it all, through it all. That we can fight and pray together again. The for better for worse? Tough stuff but they call that love? Marri...

Because Some Birthdays🎂 Deserve a Blog.

Shisia.  She's not your ordinary birthday girl. Not my ordinary. She's not the kind of person you just text, "HBD. TML. Or Happy Belated (for those who are always late😄)." NO. Not at all.  Shisia. She deserves a five, ten, fifteeen....pages of handwritten notes, letters.. whatever you might decide to call it. Fifteen pages just to say the least. And then have it delivered by a DOVE. Huh! 🕊 have a history of being good messengers. Remember the times of Noah? During the floods?   Genesis 8:11 (KJV)  And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. And so I will trust it.  Shisia deserves a poem. Written from the heart. But for today, I will do something sweeter...... a birthday blog sprinkled with love, much Swahili, and some French like pas de soucis (Co pied from her about. No worries 😃). I know there's a language that will directly re...

DO THOUGHTS REALLY ACTUALIZE? DO DREAMS COME TRUE? TELL ME.

"Remember Adrian? How our first of the most first conversation started? When you said you play guitar and saxophone? And I said I'm a guitar enthusiast with a plus of balancing vocals and producing some sounds? Remember? When I tuned the first few lines of one of my favorite hymn, "There's a Place of Quiet Rest, Near to the Heart of God," and without hesitation, you joyfully uttered that I sounded like a " well trained musician?" I knew then. That it was a match made in heaven. Or so I thought.(I could be wrong. I have been wrong in reading cues. I have misread signals. I have been wrong in many things and aspects of life.😄) Adrian let me order first. I ordered hibiscus tea, strawberry and banana smoothie, and a vegetarian dish with tofu and a side of mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. He said, "Can I have the same?" And the waitress with a very broad smile said, "Of course." Everything was pure joy. As we waited for the meal to be...
