Father’s Day Message

FB_IMG_1434993516376I believe that you can hear me when I tell you about my life. I believe that you are listening to my troubles and my strife.
I believe that you are with me when the sorrow is too much. I believe that you reach out to me, I know I can feel your touch.
I believe that you can see me when I celebrate and smile. I believe that you are happy, that joy comes once in a while.
I believe that you still love me, from your place of eternal rest. I believe that love travels far, and for this; I feel blessed… I miss you so much daddy. Happy Fathers Day! ‪#‎RIP‬

Happy Father’s Day to my father!

2015-06-19 12.06.47Honestly, I will never be able to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to you-dad; for your constant support and all the love you have been given me throughout my life. I wouldn’t have made it this far without you, thank you so much dad.

FB_IMG_1434728366535 Thank you for always being there whenever I needed you, even in times when I thought I don’t need you you’ve been there! Teaching me respect, gave me confidence, let me find my own way to become a woman that God has created me to be, and inspire me to strive to be the best version of myself each and every day!

FB_IMG_1434728651919 I’m not lucky but blessed, and if today God ask me to pick a brand new father of my  own desire? Wow! Definitely! Without a doubt I will pick you over and over and over again, because you are the BEST!

2015-06-21 01.09.01A lot of people have misunderstood you, they think you are such a quiet guy, but we (your inner circle) know you are the “undercover comedian” and I’m truly missing your vituko so badly! Happy Father’s Day brother, love you!

There’s No Competition in Destiny

I was jogging this morning and I noticed a person about 1/2 a kilometre ahead. I could tell he was running a little slower than me and I thought, good, I shall try to catch him. I had about a kilometre before Ineeded to turn off. So I started running faster and faster. Every block, I was gaining on him just a little bit. After just a few minutes I was only about 100 metres behind him, so I really picked up the pace and pushed myself. You would have thought I was running in the last leg of an Olympic competition. I was determined to catch him. Finally, I did it! I caught and passed him. On the inside I felt so good. “I beat him” Of course, he didn’t even know we were racing. After I passed him, I realised I had been so focused on competing against him that I had missed my turn. I had gone nearly six blocks past my turn and I had to turn and go back.

Isn’t that what happens in life when we focus on competing with co-workers, neighbours, friends, family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important? We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our God given destinies. The problem with unhealthy competition is that its a never ending cycle.

There will always be somebody ahead of you, someone with a better job, nicer car, more money in the bank, more education, a prettier wife, a more handsome husband, better behaved children, etc. But realize that “You can be the best that you can be, you are not competing with no one.”

Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to what others are , where others are going, wearing and driving. Take what God has given you, the height, weight and personality. Dress well and wear it proudly, you’ll be blessed by it. Stay focused and live a healthy life.

There is no competition in Destiny. Run your own race and wish others well!!——-by anonymous

Its Fathers’ Month

IMG-20150607-WA0031Namshukuru Mungu kwa mambo mengi sana! Na moja ya vitu au mambo ambayo siku zote huwa nashukuru ni hii zawadi ya mtoto ambayo alinipatia, sina lugha yakuelezea ni jinsi gani huwa namshukuru Mungu sanaaaaa!

IMG-20150607-WA0034Mungu alinizawadia zawadi ya mtoto katika umri ambao sikujua vizuri thamani yake au umuhimu wa uwepo wake katika maisha yangu lakini nilijua kuwa its worthy to keep her alive! Na leo hii ndiyo naelewa haswa thamani halisi na umihimu wa mwanangu kwa maisha yangu! Sitachoka kumshukuru Mungu siku zangu zote!

IMG-20150607-WA0052Kwa maneno naweza sema mwanangu ni rafiki yangu mkuu, lakini kimatendo au kiuhalisia mimi ni mama yake na ndingependa siku zote bond ambayo nitakuwa nayo ni bond ya mama na mwana na wala si bond ya best friend! Yeye anamarafiki zake ambao anawa consider kama best friends  zake,  na mimi ni mama yake ambaye uhusiano wetu ni wakaribu na uwazi kiasi ya kwamba yupo huru kuongea nami kitu chochote! Best friends sometime can’t tell you the truth but your mother always will!

2015-05-30 10.31.51Najua kuna wamama wengi ambao wako single  (not married) ambao mara nyingi huwa wanapenda kusema “mimi ndio mama, na mimi ndio baba!” Kwakweli mimi binafsi huwa sipendi huo msemo hata kama I’m a single mother, kwani naamini baba yake siku zote ataendelea kuwa baba yake na hata siku moja mimi kama mama siwezi kuchukua nafasi ya baba yake maishani mwake! Yote yale mazuri ambayo ninamfanyia mwanangu mimi nafanya kama mama ambaye anamapenzi ya dhati na mwanae na si kwamba nafanya kwa niaba ya baba yake!

FB_IMG_1433696440826Sasa basi ni influence ya kiasi gani ambayo baba mzazi anaweza kuwa nayo kwa mtoto hapo inategemea na kiasi gani huyo baba alijihusisha na maisha ya mwanae. Na hapo ndipo kunakitu kinaitwa “father figure” au “mother figure.” Yani hawa ni walezi walio simama kama wazazi katika maisha ya mtoto.

Kuzaa kunakufanya kuwa baba au mama lakini haikufanyi kuwa mzazi! Mzazi is earned not given!! Those who nurtured and inspired you to  be the person whom you’re today hao ndio wazazi wako. Kwa maana hiyo tunapo sherekea au kufurahi baba zetu katika mwezi huu wa Sita kama ilivyo desturi ya hii dunia; basi napenda kumshukuru sana baba yangu mzazi si tuu kwa kanilea mimi bali pia kwa kusimama kama baba mlezi wa binti yangu (father figure). Niukweli usio pingika kuwa kupata baba mwenye roho ya utu, hekima, busara, na upendo kama alio kuwa nao baba yangu ni nadra sana katika jamii ya Waafrika haswa Tanzania. I’m more than blessed!! Asante sana baba yangu. Mungu azidi kukubariki sanaaaaa mpaka ushangae hahaha!

Kama una picha yako na baba yako  ungependa kushare nasi basi kuwa huru na tutumie kwa [email protected]

Asante sana.

Hongera Millen Magese

FB_IMG_1433089819632Naomba nichukuwe fursa hii kumpongeza mrembo, mwanamitindo wa kimataifa , na Miss Tanzania 2001-Millen Magese (mwanzo alijulikana kama Happiness Magese) kwa kutununikiwa tunzo ya “Global Good Award” na kituo cha television cha BET (Black Entertainment Television) cha Marekani.

28412_387312786985_591511985_4463172_5687224_nTuzo za BET ni moja ya tuzo kubwa sana duniani, najambo la kujivunia sana kama Watanzania ni kutokana na ukweli wa kwamba kipengele cha Global Good Award ni kipengele kipya kabisa ambacho kimeanzishwa na kituo hicho mwaka huu 2015 na Millen Magese amekuwa mtu wakwanza kutunukiwa tuzo hiyo!

FB_IMG_1433309087240Millen Magese ametukiwa tuzo hiyo kutokana na kuwa mmoja wa wanaharakati duniani watokao bara la Africa ambao wanapigania awareness na kinga ya ugonjwa ujulikanao kama ‘Endometriosis.’ Kwakweli mie siyo mtaalamu sana wa maswala haya ila nakuhaidi kumtafuta ntu ambaye ataweza kutufafanulia kwa kina kuhusu ugonjwa huu.Millen ameungelea kwa kadri awezavyo jinsi anavyoteseka, na matumaini yake ya kupata mtoto yalivyo shuka kabisa kwenye interview aliyofanya na Sporah Show (tazama video hapa chini).

Nimesoma kutoka katika mtandao wa Endometriosis Association kuwa ugonjwa huu unatesa mamilioni ya wanawake duniani na wengi wao huwa wanaishia kutokuwa na uwezo wa kupata watoto kama hawata pata matibabu mapema. Pole sana Millen.

Mmoja wa marafiki zake ambaye pia ni shabiki wake mkubwa aitwae Loveness Hoyange alimpongeza Millen kwa maneno haya  “Africa please help me to congratulate our very own former Miss Tanzania, International model, The statute of Tanzania, Icon of the nation and humanitarian Millen Happiness Magese who has been honored and nominated to receive BET Global good award 2015 for her incredible work in educating and empowering women about Endometriosis. This is a new category at the BET awards this year and Millen will be the very first person globally to receive it. What an honor to Tanzania and the entire African continent! Millen has been the symbol of hope and courage to many women across the continent through her Endometriosis work. Millen you humbled yourself and today GOD has lifted you up. When we mocked your efforts in educating women about endo you called us sisters. You loved Tanzania even when we gave you a reason to hate us. You have a heart of GOLD and today God has decided to make your name shine among nations. Congratulations my love I am super proud of you”

Kwa mara nyingine napenda kusema pole sana kwa mauumivu unayopitia, na pia hongera sana kwa tuzo uliyopata kwani unastahili.
