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 September 2019 | Monthly Series

As the first Sunday of the month, I thought it befitting to share the Sunday Currently September 2019. When I shared the Sunday Currently August 2019 edition, I mentioned I was suffering from writer’s blogger’s block. This has not completely dissipated but I can definitely say, I can slowly feel my mojo returning which is great. With the Sunday Currently September 2019 post, I want to focus on all the things I am excited about for the new month.

I know I always say this but the Sunday Currently September 2019 is a lot like a recap type of post. Whenever I sit down to write them, it always takes me back to all the wonderful things that have happened and things I am looking forward to. September is poised to be a very busy month with trips abroad, birthday celebrations and much more. I am looking forward to celebrating 10 years of friendship with some of my best girls and exploring the world together.

Sunday Currently September 2019 Edition

As a blogger, I love a good series and the Sunday Currently {September 2019} edition is no exception. There is so much I want to share and there are times when that won’t fit in a whole post so these posts work out best. I am super excited about September and look forward to all the upcoming adventures both home and abroad.

Reading: I am still in between books and hope to finish An American Marriage and A Long Night in Paris on the upcoming flight to Seoul and Tokyo.

Writing: This post and a couple others, I am hoping to schedule dome posts in advance so I can relax more on my holiday.

Listening: I am still loving Westlife but added another band to the mix and that is MAG!C who are a Canadian band and also love their songs.

Thinking: About all the trips I have planned, how to make more money online and how to take the blog to the next level.

Smelling: Cooked some Zambian dishes that I need to finish long before my upcoming flight to Seoul.

Wishing: I was more prepared for the upcoming trips and planned them more wisely.

Hoping: I can utilise the time off to make more money from the blog and plan my trips more wisely.

Wearing: Bath towel because Sunday’s are those kind of days where its relaxation overload.

Watching: Instinct {crime series} and Mulan, whenever I am WFH I love watching cartoons as background noise.

Sunday Currently September 2019

Writing this type of post always seems to uplift my spirit and even when I have writer’s block it somehow seems to cure it. As I have mentioned already, September will be a very busy month both in work and personal life. But I am most excited about our 10-year reunion in Seoul, girl‘s trip to Seoul and Tokyo then few day trips to Europe. I never take for granted just how fortunate I am to be able to explore the world as often as I do.
