Do you know men and women who are being tormented and haunted by their past? Maybe you have a gift that keeps you up at night. Maybe you are tired of running and you are ready to accept your calling and find peace. Maybe it is your gift that brings you peace and silences all the demons in your head. If you can relate to any of the above ideas why don't you come and sit by the fire with me?

Stress or even sickness know that I love my sleep. So no matter what might come I will never be wide awake at 1 am. I wish this is what could be said about my gift. Sometimes all I want is peace and calmness but my brain is jumping on the jumping castle. A thought might come to mind and I want to shelve it but that is impossible because I will not rest until I pen the idea down.

For the past six to seven months my creativity has been tested. Whatever I do I am expected to be creative and deliver good results. Has it been fun? Yes, has it been tiring? a big fat yes. But have I been enjoying myself? I could not have asked for anything better.

Through writing, I heal from the things I am never able to talk about. As I write I find peace and the strength to go on. Writing for me is like bleeding on paper.

This is my third Winter Challenge and I remember how scared I was in 2021 when I submitted my first entry. This year I am going to be writing fictional stories but they have to be sad ones. I struggle to write happy stories maybe my stories are for the broken colours in this world. I will write about my loved ones, and those people within my circle will be able know who I will be talking about.

My promise to you is that you will get to know The Baobab better
