What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

A little bit of this and that is what comes to mind.

Each day brings its own stories and experiences, each moment an opportunity for me to decide how to react.

And just like that, for over thirty five years, from climbing mango trees when I was five, to making my first meal, getting the ingredients right for that sponge cake, traveling outside Kenya, or that time I had food poisoning while traveling home- a six hour drive that nearly killed me, or getting on that motorbike, losing my friends, grief, love, shopping….graduating from university.

It’s like I have a little garden of wins and misses in my pocket.
