Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live.

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

Sunday Currently November 2019 | Monthly Series

As today is the first Sunday of the month, I am sharing the Sunday Currently November 2019 edition. Over the last couple of months, I decided to revive these monthly series to share the plans I have for the new month. It is weird to think in less than a couple weeks the year will be coming to an end. It has made me think of all the plans I made at the start of the year and what I wish to achieve before the close of this year.

Sitting down to share the Sunday Currently November 2019 edition feels a little like writing my monthly goals except this monthly series is not only a recap but also a look at the month ahead. There are so many things that I wish to share but I don’t like sharing half thought out plans hence why I will stick to only confirmed plans.

Sunday Currently November 2019 | Monthly Series

Whenever I sit down to write the Sunday Currently series, I am always reminded of the plans I have made and those I am yet to make. Over the last couple of weeks, I have been struggling to blog, I seem to have some sort of writer’s block which is driving me up the wall. Regardless, I am excited to share the Sunday Currently November 2019 edition, I will highlight all the things I am currently doing or planning.

  • Reading: I am currently reading ‘The thing around your neck‘ by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Such an interesting book with 12 different short stories all very captivating, Chimamanda is such a great writer she truly captivates you throughout the book.
  • Writing: This post and hopefully a couple of others, the blogger’s block is slowly subsiding. I have a few paid campaigns to push through on the blog.
  • Listening: A variety of singers and bands thanks to the Amazon music playlist. I am also loving Lizzo, her music is keeping me upbeat at the gym or on long drives.
  • Thinking: What I hope to accomplish before the end of the month and year. 
  • Smelling: Nothing, this blocked nose business has shut this system down.
  • Wishing: There was a day between Saturday and Sunday.
  • Hoping: I can accomplish the goals that I set for 2019 and set new ones for 2020.
  • Wearing: pyjamas getting ready for a long work from home type of day. I seem to be living in my sleepwear the last couple of weeks especially as the weather gets colder.
  • Watching: Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, absolutely smashing series.

I am super excited for November, I have a couple of trips booked, a friend is coming from Australia and I have a few girls days out planned. Definitely excited about attending my niece’s christening later today and seeing my brother and the kiddies. Our family is small so when we do get together it gets loud fast with loads of laughter and teasing. I have not seen my brother and his family for a couple of months so this will be an amazing gathering.
