COUNTING BLESSINGS WITH TIRED HANDS 🌱

 Hellooo beautiful people, and welcome back to my blog (yes—literally my podcast intro, I know πŸ˜„). I hope you’re doing amazing and getting ready for Christmas to be Christmas. I can’t wait either… or at least, I think I can’t. Because honestly? I don’t feel festive at all. It feels like July, not December 17th. Ooooh God—how did we even get here? If anyone has tips on how to feel joyful, excited, and ready for the season, please send them my way. My body is only prepared to shut down, not to celebrate. Festiveness wasn’t on my to-do list this year—but trust me, I wouldn’t mind enjoying it, at least a little. Because whew… this year was hell . Anyway. During lunch break today, my colleagues and I were talking about hospitals, and it suddenly hit me: I’ve never been hospitalized. Not even for a few hours. And in that moment, all I could say was, “Thank you, God.” Thank you that I am tired because of Your blessings. Tired because I have a job. Tired because I’m busy. Tired bec...

Learning to Breathe Again at the Edge of the Year

 Hi beautiful people 🀍, I hope life is treating you kindly. 🌱 As for me—I’m here. Physically present, mentally drained. It’s Tuesday, yet Friday feels so far away. The only comfort is knowing this is the last week of work this year. And honestly… how did we even get here? One moment I was starting the year happy—eating ice cream in peace 🍦, feeling light and hopeful. Then came the turbulence. 2025, I wasn’t ready for you. I don’t think I’ll miss you much, but I will acknowledge you. You taught me lessons I never asked for. You took things I never imagined losing. And still, I thank God for the small mercies πŸ™—like ending this year single and whole. No new heartbreaks, no new wounds. The last relationship I was in ended back in 2024—two months in, on June 13. People say it was the worst decision of my life. Maybe they’re right. I sold myself short, and I’m still learning to forgive myself for that. Some days, the regret shows up uninvited, reminding me of choices I wish I had ma...

TIRED, GRATEFUL, AND STILL HELD BY GRACE πŸ™

  🌸 Hi guys! 🌸 I hope life is treating you as amazingly as you are πŸ’«. I hope November is Novembering — and in case you didn’t know, the festive season is around the corner! πŸŽ„✨Trust me, you don’t want to miss any of it. Anyway, I thought I was ready for Christmas… but honestly, I’m lyingπŸ˜…. I’m nowhere near prepared — I feel like a mess. I feel tired, I feel worried. Actually, I was worried — until a soft whisper came to me and asked, “Are you the one who brought yourself here?” And I said, “Actually… no.” Then why am I worried? If it was the Lord who brought me here, then surely, He will take care of me πŸ™. Judges 6:18 says so (even though I still don’t fully understand it sometimes). So here I am, sitting in a very cold office because my officemates are “so hot” that we must have the AC on πŸ₯ΆπŸ˜‚. And as I sit here shivering, I realize — God loves me even more than that! So maybe I should just stop worrying πŸ’–. Now, about my friends — I love them so much πŸ₯°. My handso...

Hey, I’m Still Here 🀍

 Hi hi guys, Jesus, where do I even start? It feels like a whole century since I last showed up here. Sometimes life just sweeps you up, and before you know it, months have passed. I got busy, I lost myself somewhere along the way, and finding my way back has been a journey of its own. 🌿 But hey — I have so much to tell you! First things first — a sister has graduated! πŸ₯³πŸŽ“ Yes, your girl made it through. I’m so proud of myself and all I’ve managed to accomplish. It wasn’t easy — there were long nights, doubts, and moments I almost gave up — but grace carried me through. We survived. And guess what? I got something to do! Not a permanent job yet, but a temporary one that opened my eyes in so many ways. It gave me the chance to travel across the country — to corners of Rwanda I’d only heard of. I visited remote villages, met incredible people, and saw beauty I’d never imagined. I promise to sit down one day and share that experience properly because it deserves its own story....

🌱 REBOOTING MY LIFE: A NEW NORMAL STARTS NOW ✨

 Hi hi beautiful people πŸ’•, I hope you’re doing well. Can you believe I’m back again with another blog post— just a day after posting the last one? πŸ˜… I mean… who is she?! Honestly, I’m proud of myself. Big congratulations to me πŸ₯³πŸ‘. That being said… I’m still struggling. Life lately has felt like a bit of a mess, which is why I’ve decided to do a full-on reboot . Not to get back to how things were, but to create a new normal . It's not easy, but it's possible . Sooo... here’s the game plan πŸ‘‡ ☀️ 1. Morning Walks = Sanity We're starting with 40-minute morning walks πŸƒ‍♀️, three times a week . Why mornings, you ask? Because doing it at night is not an option. I mean, my dad— God bless him —might actually drive me crazy soon πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚. So, morning it is! Start time: 6:00 AM Sleep time: 9:30 PM Phone off by: 9:00 PM πŸ“΄ Let’s be honest: I need rest. Deep, proper rest. So, if anyone calls me after 9 PM, just know... I won’t answer. I’m not a night guard πŸ˜…. I...

LIFE LATELY: DEAD PHONES, SICK DAYS & SOUL SEARCHING

 Hi beautiful people πŸ’› How are you doing? I hope life is treating you like the kings and queens that you are πŸ‘‘✨ As for me… well, life has been throwing stones lately. Some I managed to dodge πŸƒπŸΎ‍♀️, others hit me right in the face 😩. But through it all, we thank the Lord πŸ™πŸΎ. I really hope your life isn’t as chaotic as mine right now, because whew… where do I even begin? Let’s start with my phone πŸ“±πŸ’€. Tell me why my phone decided to die—completely—right when I needed it the most? It had been my lifeline, my comfort, my everything. Turns out the motherboard was the issue. So, I took it to the repair shop, got it fixed, and just when I thought the worst was over… boom πŸ’₯. It crashed again the next day. Right now, it’s back in the shop, and I’ve been spending my weekend alone. No phone. No connection. Just me and my thoughts 🀯. But weirdly enough, being phone-less gave me space to think . And honestly, I realized how much of my phone time is spent talking to people who do...

HEY LIFE, I’M BACK!

  Hi hi, beautiful people! πŸŒžπŸ’› I hope life is treating you like the kings and queens you are πŸ‘‘—because you truly deserve it! Gosh, I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last wrote or published a blog post 😩. But hey, let’s just say life has been pushing me to the edges and pulling me back again... and now? I think I’m finally back to some form of normality—or at least I believe I am 🀷🏽‍♀️. I’m not sure if this is going to be a story or just a little life update—but here goes. Lately, everything I tried felt like a failure πŸ’”. I was really down—almost to the point of falling into depression. But as someone who clings to faith and the power of prayer πŸ™πŸ½, I chose to pray instead... and honestly? That saved me. Here I am— not depressed, but stepping out of the darkness. 🌀️ Let me just say this out loud: I missed myself. πŸ’« And just when I needed it most, a friend recommended a book called "A Thousand Boy Kisses." πŸ“–πŸ’‹ And oh my goodness—it’s the real deal! I ...
