Because I care

Thank God it is FRIDAY

How have you all been ,

I had a wonderful week , couple of down, low and challenging moments but all its been worth it. All this has been possible and bearable through the support of friends and family who were just there through a phone call or physically to cheer me up.

I'm one kind of a person that really respect and value friendship. And just to point it out I have been one of the few lucky ones who have friends that I truly care about ; and likewise they care for me. These are the people I will stop everything just to be beside them when I'm needed.

With time I learned to let go people who happen to be in my life with motive behind it , meaning the friends who are into my life expecting to benefit something out of our friendship or just any other expectations.

At this age you can imagine how many people happen to be part of my life as friends, buddies, acquaintances etc . I have had friends that we used to spend our time only at the bar drinking  (after work of-course). And to be clear nothing wrong with that only if there is more than just drinking>>, I have had friends who all they cared are for me to have the designer and expensive shoes and high quality hair extensions.And technically wanted me to fit there profile. And they keep forgetting I'm  an individual molded and custom made by GOD in my own special way just like everybody else.

But all said and done is that who I am to them , do they really know who Nandi is or  they know the Nandi who will support their idea of being at the bar and shopping for expensive stuff and who they want me to be.

Friendship should be more than that. 

Friendship should just be pure friendship , it should not be about competing with each other, Or talking each other down ; instead it should be about support and standing by each other.

There are people in a friendship circles today who they want all to be about them , and no one else should have a say whats so ever. And these are the people if they see you progress just a little as an individual they will fight you tooth and nail to make sure you stay where you are.

When I reflect on friendship and the people that I care I think of three key things :

Support
No judgement
Tolerance

And guess what we only tolerate people that we love. And that's final

So as we are all going for the weekend , lets be a rock to one another  and support each other.

I'm going to do just that and with no regret at all as I'm doing it from the bottom of my heart.


Love you all

And have a blast this weekend

Love like you mean it
Dance like no one is watching 


Remember , give yourself a big HUG ((kisses) 

Dreams

Hi ya’ll

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, I certainly enjoyed mine and to the fullest if I may say so ((smile)). Over the weekend one of the things I spent some time on reflecting was on Dreams and Aspirations. I got to think about this as for this week in sitting in for my boss. Big shoes to fill but game on!

All in all that is not why I want to talk about dreams …

As I was growing up I first dreamt of becoming a teacher and I can clearly remember my primary teachers the like of Mrs.Makaranga, Mrs. Sabuni and so many other...

As the years passed on I moved from wanting to be a teacher to wanting to be in a beauty industry of which I made few attempts to make it a reality before I decided to move on to the next dream.

I was part of Miss Tanzania beauty contest running as well as Miss Malaika all these were fun and wonderful experiences and I have a special respect for those who tempted to walk on the ramp as I know for sure how hard that is.

While at that I did couple of fashion shows and then I decided that was it.

From there I found myself in a publishing industry and I worked for the 1^st glossy magazine this country has ever had and there it is where I learned about the industry and eventually I launched my very own lifestyle magazine ((kudos).

While working for this amazing publication I also had a beauty column on a very famous tabloid with the highest readership in the country.

All these happened before I found myself in Hotel, then Advertising and later on Beverage Industry.

My point being; we all keep on dreaming and we will continue to do so until we pass on. Dreaming is the way of growing and progressing. As human and individual this is how we bring change into our personal choices and eventually life.

Who do I really want to be?  30+ years on this earth I feel like I’m yet to grow and perfect my choices in life, and as I’m growing I’m even more excited on finding out what the world has to offer... I can see ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES ahead of me.

I’m keeping my feet tight on the ground as I keep on realizing my dreams and getting ready for takeoff…

Have a lovely week and give yourself a big WARM HUG! Because you DESERVE IT!

And don’t stop dreaming!!

Kisses
