I have been meaning to start this blog since coming back from Kenya where I rediscovered my love of sharing stories through writing. It is now January 3, 2012 and I have officially decided to start documenting stories about maisha (life) on my blog. My original idea was to share things about my life and my passions since that's the idea behind most personal blogs. I assumed I would have a lot to say and talk about because I have been fortunate enough to have traveled much of the world. What's not to love about seeing amazing sights, taking part in new traditions, meeting unforgettable people and embarking on new journey's and adventures? Absolutely nothing! It's everything we look forward to and remember from our travels. But tonight it dawned on me when I read a very emotional and disturbing story that sent chills down my spine. I have been on many adventures and will never forget the people I've met along the way but what about those people I didn't get to meet? The one's whose voices are never heard or shared. I want my blog to be more than just the story of My Maisha (Life), I want it to be about Maisha's here, across our borders and all over the world. I want to share stories of lives we know little about especially those who's voices can't be heard or shared as much as ours, all while sharing my passions for education, languages, cultures, people and travel.
Now that I finally have an idea of what I want to write about, I hope that they are as compelling, thought provoking and instrumental in making us realize how fortunate we are to be able to share our thoughts, ideas and opinions very easily.That being said, I'm ready to take on stories from around the world and hope you enjoy reading them as much as I love writing them.
