He once told me that if you do something, make sure you do it well so that if others do it after you, you will not be ashamed. You will be proud of what you have done despite what comes after.

Exactly Where I am Supposed to Be
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?
There are things that I constantly think I have to do, ways my life will go but even when the universe shows me it has its own agenda, I still plan and plan.
I have a journal that tracks my thoughts, that I should be able to use but I forgot it at home so I can’t see exactly what dream I had last year. Let me think, I think, I joked I would be at the Christmas market plus one but instead I will be at the Christmas markets plus one.
In the past year I’ve had some disappointments and some successes, but honestly I think 2025 was a very laid back year. 2023 and 2024 were emotionally exhausting. Yes I could have done more but I didn’t, I’m trying to move at my own pace and give myself grace for what I did do. So I’ll assess if my life today is what I pictured a year ago.
Family – I’m realizing that family is not a fixed thing, it evolves as you do. It expands and contracts. I didn’t think mine would grow from the ones I grew up with, but it did and come what may I’m happy about it.
Career – I think I’m coasting. I could do more but I have no real interest and in part it could be because I have not been bold. I have not asked for more nor have I taken any risks. I am slowly becoming fat off the hog or should I say complacent with my golden handcuffs?
Friends – I’m reassessing many friendships and wondering if they still fulfill me outside of thinking we have been friends for ages. But on the other hand it seems almost impossible to make new friends and any attempts in doing so are met with “let’s meet up” then never come to fruition. I’ve also found my self thinking do I actually like this person or do they actually like me?
Wellness – Emotionally I think I am better than I have been in a long time yet I’m physically failing. I am still walking Lolah everyday but the gym had been hit and miss.
Creative Pursuits – I have ideas, oh sooo many ideas but the execution is always delayed.
Am I where I thought I would be last year? Well I’m in the correct country, with the right person, writing this blog so no not exactly but I know I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
P.S. I worked out this morning so I know I’ll get back to peak wellness
Places I’m dreaming of
I don’t know about cities but I do know the next countries on my list are:
Luxembourg – to see family
Rwanda – to see if its really that clean
India – to see that many people and try the roti
Brazil – too see the largest black diaspora – I wanted to say out of Africa but I guess that’s implied
Seychelles – to see if the beaches are that beautiful
Cape Town – it’s close to home so I really should find my way there
Australia – to see that music hall bu the water, say hello to skippy the bush kangaroo and finally get to say “I’m down under”
I didn’t write cities because I usually go to the least touristy places not because I’m pretentious but because its usually cheaper and allows me to see the parts of the country that most people miss.
So with that in mind feel free to leave recommendations to a city in each of those countries
First day as a Fiancé
Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.
My first day as a fiancée was uneventful with the exception of putting ring on and taking it off. Then doing the same thing over and over again.
I thought to myself argggggghhhhh. How long will I wait till I spill my guts? Turns out there are still people just finding out. I think I just wanted a moment to enjoy the moment without other peoples input, advice or thoughts.
It’s nice to have something to yourself especially on the first day, before the world puts it’s influence on it.
To be smart or generous ?
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.
I think I hope people say that I am smart but a little part of me would want them to say I’m generous. I think I personally value the smart label while knowing that being generous maybe a better character trait.
