Lessons from my Father.

My beautiful Star,


As you embark on your journey through life, there are a few lessons and reflections that I want to share with you. Life is an incredible adventure, filled with highs and lows, challenges, and beautiful moments. My hope is that these words will serve as a compass to guide you through the twists and turns that lay ahead.

Life is dynamic, and change is an inevitable occurrence, therefore embrace it with an open heart; because every challenge is an opportunity for growth, and every change brings new possibilities, so please don't be afraid of the unknown; but instead, see it as a chance to discover more about yourself and the world.

Value your relationships because the people you surround yourself with will play a significant role in your life. Cherish your family and cultivate deep connections with friends. Relationships are the fabric of a fulfilling life, and the love and support you give will come back to you full-circle in unexpected ways.

Follow your Passion and pursue what sets your soul on fire. Your passion is your compass, guiding you toward a life that feels purposeful and rewarding. Don't be afraid to take risks in the pursuit of your dreams, for it is in those risks that you often find the greatest rewards.

Remember, mistakes are a natural part of life. So instead of dwelling on them, learn from them because each misstep is an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Don't be too hard on yourself; use mistakes as stepping stones toward becoming the person you aspire to be.

Cultivate resilience because life will present challenges that may seem insurmountable, and in those moments, remember your inner strength. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, therefore face life's challenges head-on, learn from them, and emerge stronger.

Be kind because kindness is a superpower that has the ability to transform lives, including your own. Practice empathy, lend a helping hand, and treat others with respect. In doing so, you contribute to making the world a better place.

Appreciate the journey because life is not just about reaching the destination; it's about savoring every moment of the journey. Take the time to appreciate the small moments, celebrate victories, and find joy in the simple pleasures life has to offer. 

Life's true richness lies in the experiences along the way. 

Remember, my dear son, you are capable of achieving greatness, you only need to believe in yourself, stay true to your values, and approach each day with gratitude. Life is a gift—make the most of it.

Finally remember to trust in God because after all is said and done, everything begins and ends with God. Trust his process.

I love you with all that I am


Love,

Daddy

Seeking Self-Improvement Instead of External Validation: A Shift Toward Authentic Growth

 In a world fueled by likes, followers, and approval ratings, it is becoming the norm for many to easily slip into the habit of chasing external validation—that false sense of worth that only comes when others applaud us. But this pursuit can be fleeting, exhausting, and often unfulfilling. Conversely, self worth is not such a common attribute in this social media driven era; it can only be achieved and developed through seeking self-improvement, which is guided by internal values and personal growth. Unknown to many is that seeking external validation can be a serious trap that empowers those we seek validation from (Parents, friends, colleagues, spouses, girlfriends, boyfriends, etc) over us. The question I’m sure you’re asking is “. . . How? . . . “, Allow me to!! Ever noticed how people spend so much trying to find the perfect picture for their socials?? Or how people provide fake information, lifestyles, or even act a certain way when people are around or live their lives like...

A Heartfelt Goodbye to our Furry Bestest best Friends. (Abba and Mickie)

Dear Abba and Mickie,   It’s hard to put into words how much you mean to us. From the very first day you came into our lives, home would never be the same again. You've brought nothing but love, laughter, and warmth into our lives. You are more than just dogs; you were my confidants, our protectors, and our constant source of comfort.   You greeted us every day with wagging tails and sparkling eyes that spoke a unique language of true love. On my toughest days, you were both there, and your presence a reminder that we were never alone.  Your bond with Nyozi transcended anything I have ever known, you both made even the simplest of moments feel very special to her that she often proudly referred to you as her dogs and her best friends, whether it was a stroll around the compound, a game of wrestling or a game of catch me if you can , or just sitting by my or Nyozi's side.   Saying goodbye to the both of you is proving to be one of the hardest things I’v...
