I have
never been so excited to have hit this milestone in my blogging journey! Can you
believe that this post you are reading is my 50th published post?
Yip it is and I cannot contain my excitement as I have started and taken
down other blogs in the past; but this one seems to have survived the (same) ordeal that could have befallen it.
These
are exciting times in my world as I feel like my passion is leading me into greater and bigger things. I know that it may be a little premature but
I think I am seeing some progress and people are taking note of the potential
this blog has. It is scaring me at times as I feel like everything is happening
too fast. Does that mean that I wish it could pan out otherwise? A big fat – NO! It is just that I tend to be over citical of my work and efforts which can lead to me doubting my
potential or even underestimate what blogging can do to one’s aspirations and
dreams.
I have been
struggling a little bit about how much of one’s personal life is good to share
without being judged for it. What good and bad will overly sharing (which is
relative) can do if not open a door for people to be up in your business (personal
life and otherwise). Those that know me very well will tell that it takes an
arm and a leg to actually open up about certain aspects of my life. We are
living in times where technology has afforded us the means to see what people
around us are up to and their possessions. Many can deem it as being too
boastful, egocentric or simply being a show off.
I am so
soooo excited to be sharing this post with you. It is my first collaboration piece
and I could not have done it with anyone better than a fellow personal style
and lifestyle blogger Michelle; of Simplysiro. It is often intimidating to
approach anyone for collaboration posts especially if it is a seasoned
blogger. However Michelle was open to the idea from the
get go and here we are today. Her friendly and great personality just brings
this demeanor about her that is so lovable and relatable. She did not mind that
I was not even from her beautiful country Kenya; she just embraced the idea of One
Africa One Nation.
I feel like
I have been gone for some time. Only to realise that it has only been 5 days
since I last posted; but it may seem like forever to others including me. How
are you all doing? I am guilty of often delving into the business of the day
without even greeting sindisosdiary’s
greatest and dearest friends. I have been well and I hope you are doing well
too.
Honestly
where are we supposed to feel safe when we are being pick pocketed in the
grocery stores? I swear this past week was not my best week at all. I have
always heard of stories of being searched whilst at the grocery store and even
seen one guy attempting to steal something from another lady’s bag. But nothing
has ever happened to me until now. I feel like I am experiencing a lot of first
times in my adult years.
