Day 1 – 8th November – Describe your Personality.
Happy to be doing this, been off this radar, but oh well, here we are,,
My personality,, mmmhh,,,
If I could describe this in just one word. I would say perhaps calm. Amidst all shambles, I choose to always stay calm. Okay saying I choose is rather too forward because I don’t get to make that decision prior. My body and it’s whole functionality usually resets to calmness. The other side that I often interact with, aside from calmness, quite the opposite is, my temper. Once in a while it rubs in. This is a side that not many people know save for the few who know me too well might have had a taste of it. Aside from the two, I am a happy soul. Always smiling. Always believing in being kind to others, to myself and to those that lack kindness. I am a creative person, I don’t talk much, maybe keep alot to self and speak to those whom I have welcomed into my world. Anything to do with the work of my hands, I am blessed to touch and turn into gold. I love doing things that brings results. I love people, I love my own people. People of my world……
Day 2- 9th November – Describe things that make you happy
Anything that puts a smile on my face, definitely makes me happy 😊. Food actually makes me happy. It always puts a smile on my face. Not just any food. Meat mostly. Happy to know that those in my world know this and they don’t pass a chance to get me some food, as and when and not just any food but meat. Clients who appreciate my business, put a big smile on my face, this makes me happy. When people go an extra mile for me, this makes me happy too, as it often reminds me that I am always in their minds. Little surprises make me happy. A call from mama makes me happy. Sweet messages make me happy, these include, sweet texts like those that begin with RK86R7TSH confirmed 😘 make me happy the most 💃🏽💃🏽……
Day 3 – 10th November – A memory
Mmmhhh, challenge getting harder just on day 3. What memory. Good. Bad? This wasn’t specified. So I’m at liberty to pick either. I’ll choose good. So what memory… first time someone ever did something nice to me. Maybe my kids. Or my friend. I think I’ll have to come back to this and complete when my memory strikes in better …..to be continued…
Day 4 – Places I want to visit.
Santorini
Not for any particular reason why I’d love to visit Santorini, but for perfect photos, perfect sunsets. Then eat food. I believe I would find genuine tzatziki here and good Greece food .
I hear the pastries here are legit and to die for And for that reason, my box will be ticked.
Day 5 – My Parents
I love this couple Winnie and Joe aka Mr and Mrs Mwangudza. Being the last born, I spent most of my growing up days with mum. I would accompany her everywhere to the shops, to the market, to church, everywhere. People would often refer me to as “mschana wa mama”. Meaning mamas girl. Possible suitors would find this annoying 😂😂..Shes an awesome friend, not just a mum, she doubles up as my bff. My tea and juice partner. She’s an awesome French teacher. I love the fact that she works hard. She has taught me too, to work hard, always telling me that I hold my future in my hands, so I got to give everything my best. My dad, my fellow meat lover. Oh we love our meat. Boiled, roasted, grilled, fried, stewed any form as long it’s meat. He is an awesome friend. We don’t speak much but when we do lots of wisdom oozing. One thing he always taught me, is to always remember that bad company corrupts good character. Always be weary of the people I choose to surround myself with. He also loves his bottle. We can’t take that away from him. He derives his joy there, or whatever feeling he gets whenever he enjoys his bottle. Many people would judge him for that love overtime that we have accepted maybe or hoping he would drop that love…but all in all, he is my dad regardless. My friend. Big Joe. He calls me ma,
Day 6. Single and happy…
Mmmmhhh …there are days I take myself out on solo dates. Ice cream dates, coffee dates, food dates, just by myself no company, no kids no nothing just me. The only time I’m happy in my comfortable space. Not necessarily doing anything in particular out of the norm, but just enjoying my own company..that’s all I can say here about being single n happy…
Day 7.. Favourite Movie. Friday.
Watched this a million years ago. Have memorised every script in it. Well, maybe not all but most of them. Can watch on repeat as I say along the words..
Day 8 The power of music.
Soothing, satisfying especially when you get to listen to the message in the lyrics . Music is food for the soul. There are different days for different genres and all these hit differently depending on what you are going through.. music gets things done, gets a good amount of chores done, music mends broken souls, music gives hope to the hopeless, music inspires and fuels love.
Day 9 Write about Happiness.
To me happiness is what you create out of everything. Happiness is within more than without. Happiness is chosen, especially when you get to bring people in your circle, people you are excited to hang around. Being with my kids, my family,my friends, make me excited. Making cakes for my clients and them giving awesome feedbacks after eating them, makes me excited. And that’s happiness to me. Money brings happiness 😁😁 just to be true too .. doing things that spark your soul is pure happiness.
Day 10 My best Friend .
Miss Lennox. That’s how we called her. May your soul keep resting in peace dada. She was bubbly, full of laughter. Always laughing. Always positive about life. She brought a lot of energy into every room she walked into. The greatest go getter I know haven’t met anyone else yet like you. We could be calling you Dr Viky today. Maybe you could have graduated already. Maybe..the sting of death….Keep resting girlfriend…💔💔. I miss you.
Day 11 Talk about your siblings
Let me try this one. Between myself and the gap between the people above is a whole life time😂.. they are very young, at heart. Let me start with Cornel. Our first born. God knows where he is. 30 years later, we have no clue. We live in faith that one day he will return home. I’m told he loved and adored me. Carried me and tossed me up. He packed his own and left home without a trace. Our second born . Mary, aka Milly aka shoshdotcom. Most beautiful lady this one. Very hardworking. Has a good heart. Loves helping the society. Oh she speaks very good English. She’s a blogger, a youtuber, a travel advisor and so much more that I may not know about. Ooh she’s the most brown of us all. The true rangi ya Thao😃. Wait till you see her current hairstyle😍..Our third born. Charles or what dad would call him, Charlie. Very kind soul. Loves the church. Or the church loves him. Or they both love each other. He introduced me to movies and bongo music. I will always remember this. He’s been more than a brother. More like my dad too. Always supported me growing up…more so financially. He took over the role of our big bro, ever since Cornel left and so far he’s doing a wonderful Job. Our fourth born Julius aka Like Mike aka Uncle Mike Mike. Our genius one. He’s the friendliest of us all. Loves people, loves talking with kids. Actually kids love him. He is the one I closely follow. We grew up together. We always blackmailed each other reporting each to mum all the time. We made deals all kinds. Best broski…..

Love is the best thing that can happen to anyone. It’s best when it is reciprocated. It’s best if unconditional. No rules. Just what the heart wants. It’s forgiving. It listens. You need to love yourself too before loving someone else. Never teach people or a person how to love you. ….. Learnt a tat bit too late.

Always bring your authentic self everywhere. You will never have a hard time at anything, learnt this also a little bit too late, but it’s better learning late than never.
Day 25 . Something Inspired of the 11th image of your phone.
This particular picture happens to be the 11th image as of today. Everything about me is in this simple picture.
Day 26 Write about your school.
Not sure which one in particular since I have gone through many. I will pick my highschool. St Johns girls secondary school kaloleni giriama 😂 not sure why the emphasis. Oh this was an experience. Reason why I have this hustle mentality. It’s because of what we went through here. Glad I turned out right. To the many days we lacked water but we survived. We showered even with stolen water. Anyone who went through here during my time, knows the meaning of kusundua 😂😂 meant to steal. One would wake in the morning and find their water sunduliwad😂😂🤦🏽♀️. To the many nights we had to be woken up to fetch it in the wee hours of the night and still made it to class awake. To the many books I read here. Cheers SJGSS for making me, me. And the best of all was being the school captain. This I will carry for a lifetime. My first leadership stint, it was super awesome.
Day 27. Write about someone who inspires me.
There’s someone who’d actually write about this piece and I’m sure my name would come up on top of their minds😁😍. For me it’s my mama. Her spirit to keep on going, no matter what, keeps me going too. I see her at 70 years fighting and pushing, breaking boundaries, learning new things and teaching new things everyday, makes her spirit admirable hence the inspiration.
Day 28 . Write about loving someone.
In a few words. It’s the best thing that could ever happen to anyone. More so if the feeling is mutual and better, when it’s reciprocated💕🥰🫂. Loving someone who loves you back is the ultimate Cupid mystery solved.
Day 29. My goals for the future .
Simple, to keep being happy, and stay alive and healthy to keep taking care of my loved ones, my babies. So many a times we take those simple goals for granted. So before everything else comes through, I’ll try my best to keep achieving those first at all times.
Day 30. Write about what you feel when you write.
It’s a conversation. Feels like there are voices in my head talking. Each one trying to take a stand at something. Feels like my thoughts are made alive. I enjoy creating the little characters on my head and giving them a voice with each script. It’s like directing a whole movie…. writing is basically bringing out a fantasy alive….
…………The end………..
