Uncovering long buried dreams.

When I first landed in Hargeisa, I was so oblivious of the challenges and endless possibilities that I was going to encounter. Within the first week, I was sure I wanted to return home. The culture  shock was so unforgiving, the climate was such a huge shift, the constant food poisoning as I tried to adjust to the new food and a whole lot of stares. It took a lot of pep talk and leaning on family and friends back home, and ultimately, re-adjusted and made the experience worthwhile. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way 🙂 Over time, I got to interact with the Somalis (They’re the most kindest and helpful people you can ever meet). Their togetherness, more-so during the recent Hargeisa fire 🙁 made me admire their brotherhood. I’ve made so many friends, tried to fast for Ramadan unsuccessfully, because hunger 😮 and I’m happy to say that…

Growth, Self Reflection & Mindset.

Howdy, howdy! 🙂 This year has been off to a great start. I spent my Dec holidays working and spending quality time with with friends, family & honestly can’t wait to break for a few weeks to recharge. I’ve just had a lot going on, lol! Your girl is burning out! Last year also came with a lot of re-learning and learning. I had to painfully let go of unhealthy habits and adapt to change as well. We all know that this can be easier said than done, so let’s get into it, shall we?

CHIT CHAT + MOTHERS DAY!

“As the old adage goes, there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving. People carry a lot of burden with them around the streets, in their houses, in their offices, all up in their minds and hearts but when you free yourself off that burden, then you never look back to see who’s gonna stab you cause that’s not your concern.” This was sent to me by a good friend of mine. Sometimes we just can use some words of wisdom from our inner circles.

LIB, FASHIONOVA & REFLECTIONS.

Ola amigos! I’m writing this article while listening to one of my favorite tracks from Love Is Blind (LIB). If you haven’t watched this Netflix Experiment/series, I honestly do not know what you’re waiting for. It gave me all the feels and guess what, it’s made me believe that Love is Indeed blind. How do you meet, fall in love and propose to someone you’ve never seen or met in a matter of days and eventually marry them? Then one year down the line, y’all still in love more than ever and still together? Phewwww!! So yea, make a point of watching this series if you haven’t 🙂
