FIVE YEARS in Tanzania - L's vs. Lessons

Peace!
I've been on a bit of a hiatus. Working on me ya' know? I'm finally back and I'm celebrating the 5 year anniversary of my transition to Tanzania. Woop woop! This video is about the biggest lessons I've learned thus far. I appreciate every one of you who have been with me on this journey from day one, and gratitude to everyone who has supported me on this journey. I wouldn't be where I am without y'all. I look forward to providing y'all with new content this coming year.

[@travelingsista]

Giving thanks! I truly appreciate it fam. This journey has been sooooo transformative on many levels. I’m grateful for my growth and I know I have so much more to accomplish. And I thank ALL OF Y’ALL who have been on this journey with me. The amount of love and support y’all give me is insane. 😫🥲 forever grateful.

Hi, Travelling Sista. You are touching Tanzanians souls in whatever you are doing in Tanzania since you came from The US. We love you, we respect you and we admire your nice behavier and the way you like our Country and our people. Thank you very much. We wish uou could vist evrry one's resdance and have a talk to various families. In short you are too nice to stay in our God gifted Nation of Tanzania. You are most welcome.

[@travelingsista]

Wow kaka Asante sana kwa maneno mazuri! (I hope I said that correctly lol) I truly do live Tanzania. Thank you for opening your doors and hearts. I call this my home 🌍

[@FlyGemini79]

Girl, this is crazy. I remember that first video of you sitting just like that in the yard listing the things you didn't like about Tanzania. It's been amazing watching your journey and growth. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I wish you and your family continued blessings and happiness!

[@travelingsista]

Tell me about it! Thank you so much for your continued support 🙏🏾

[@stellarobinsonmorris7902]

Thank you for taking time for yourself. I am now 74 years old and I am now learning to taking time for myself in a positive manner. I have been so self absorbing in a negative manner and learning to let go hasn't been easy. It is better but I am still struggling not to give up or fall back into my old way of life 👑👑👑

[@trueserenityone]

I screamed at the "dramatic pause" 🤣🤣 but I feel you 1000%. I'm married to a Ugandan and was there in Feb 2021 but I'm back in the states for now. The plan is to eventually move back to Uganda 🇺🇬 but I definitely want to visit Tanzania 🇹🇿 You look great and thank you for being so open 💖

[@darrellgamble00]

I'm so proud of you as a fellow resident. You and Fred have been an inspiration of mine for a couple of years now. I am still looking forward to meeting both of you when time permits. Two things you said resonate with me. Big time. The law of attraction. Some Black Americans in particular do NOT need to go to another land in terms of that alone. If you have a low vibrational spirit Africa won't fix that. It will likely magnify it. The second thing, Black diasporans are more interested in our journey when we are not TRYING to get them to be. They tend to make that mental, spiritual leap when I'm just explaining why this works for ME. You have always been good at that. Thank you for what you do. You are so amazing.

[@shellstewart6712]

OK so kwanza let me say, I AM HAPPY TO SEE YOU ARE DOING GREAT AND LOOKING EVEN BETTER 😊. secondly, this video was a lot to unpack. Your 5 years have been productive to say the least. My time in Kenya and Tanzania made me feel like I haven't learned who I am yet. That journey showed me, even at 39, I still haven't found out where I want to be. You said a whole word when you said " nobody owes you anything" 💯. I feel like when I am holding to the "what I could have been doing but this person didn't help" that spoke to me. I have been harboring my past traumas for so long that moving forward has been impossible. When I see how you can "let go and let god" that's inspiring 🙌🏽. Keep doing you, the rest will follow.

[@travelingsista]

Sis it’s so true! No one owes you anything and it’s up to you to make peace within. It’s a HARD lesson. I’m just now getting it at 35. It’s never too late. We all have past traumas that we need to work through so that we can show up for OURSELVES… before anyone, it needs to be us. And thank you so much for your kind words. I receive it! 🙌🏾 much peace and love to you 💕

[@sisselhansen3915]

FIVE YEARS!!!!! Traveling Sista, I thank you so so mucho for sharing your story all the way, your thoughts & feelings, your advices, your vitallity, I can understand you about needing selfcare/ Space, space you said, not 'selfcare' but I think you have shared & share authenticly, yes, spirituality.. finding One Self's Golden Dream... Oh... What a great family.. I can see your ups &downs..your honesty! I love you for that! I'm saving up like crazy ( you know I'm white.. I feel and think and KNOW that we're all ONE. If I let some stuff happen to you, then I actually let it happen to me!! So though I'm white skinned, we are all equally worth, ofcourse. And positivity, empathy, honesty, are these wonderful stuff we can grow, with..evaluate, with. So yes, GROWTH🙏💝🦁🥥🎶🎶🌿🍀♾️ IT'S LIFE 😍🌳💓💖 But I understand I shall have to start studying that SWAHILI-language! There's a guy, a youtuber, he walks through The African Kontinent right now. And from New York! But he also speaks swahili, plus other languages but swahili I feel is very important to learn before I come. Oh, that about whats coming into my Life, that's right! And yes, your Motherland! And elevate our energy is a fact, and in Nature, like where you are right there, the pureness of nature helps so much, to Connect and get vibration up higher & higher.. I know. I am the most important person in my LIFE 😍‼️ Yeah, to put the Oxigen masque on myself, in the airplane, BEFORE one starts to help the others, one has to put the Oxygen-mask on oneself, first of all! It's about filling up'the oil lamp', so one shines!! Thanks for speaking about exsactly This, Cath. I've become totally alone, after my mans leaving his body, the crazy 11/09-2020.. it's been hell! And suddenly, NOW, I'm finding Selfhelp- groups! And Reiki group! My friends from before, they've left! But maybe it's great!? Maybe I'm free? And maybe, as Mr. Alejandro Jodorowsky says; To become'A Whole Orange', one must do what one fears most, but what brings up one's passion, also, NOT ONLY THE FEAR!(Did you read Susan Jeffers' "Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway!'? It's an amazing, and an easy book to read). But this is more a theme to talk about, and not to write, in an answer to your beautiful Five Year Celebration in Tanzania- KZbin Video, maybe!?! 💓💖💓💖🦁🌾🏜️🌍🌙🪐✨⛰️🌳🦓🦓🐆🌾🍂🌵🍃🦒🦒🏃🏼‍♀️✨🌟✨Anyways; CONGRATULATIONS, TRAVELLING SISTA and a BIG HUG from the"Saving Sis" in Southern Spain ( I'm norwegian.) Now, A New Epoke in my Life is coming and it's up to Me..what I make out of this! (It's scary! And Also I feel PASSION, so this might be the right momento?) & I have alot of ideas, aswell, agriculture- based ideas..to clean up our mess in Natures' Own Way! Several ideas. And they're based upon teachings from the Agricultureschool where I studied, so it's not any 'fligh-high- nonsense', uncapable of being put out into practice. This became abit 'jumpy' written; Mr. Eckhart Tolle, mixed in to ecology, sorry, Travelling Sista, I got so inspired! You talk about so interesting stuff! 💖🌟🦁 We ALL have The Present Moment.

[@monica421]

I’m definitely interested in your podcast, especially if it will include talks like this. The growth of others and them verbally sharing the lessons they’ve learned really give me a lot to think about and reflect upon, and in turn fosters my own growth. I’m one of the people who was inspired to try Tanzania (Dar es Salaam) due in part to your journey, but it was not for me at all; I have been in Mèxico for 1 year now, and I’m happy to have found a place that has been positive for me. I now realize that I had to first find out what wasn’t for me before I was able to recognize what was for me.

[@travelingsista]

Glad you went out on a limb and tried it! That’s the most important part. It takes an immense amount of courage and truth with yourself. Glad you were able to recognize that it’s not for you, move on with grace, and find a place that resonates with you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thats to be celebrated!

[@Respekhtal]

[@ektorkornoo8806]

Congratulations on making 5 Years In Tanzania! Many people have LOTS to learn from your journey. It’s very generous of you, as always, to share your lessons with others. It is great that you started your list of lessons with that fundamental lesson that ‘kills’ many who choose to ignore it in Africa: PATIENCE is A Must. A variant of that lesson is: Slow down, you will last longer that way. Viewers should exercise PATIENCE and watch the entire video for the rest your VERY valuable lessons (I was tempted to summarize them, but NO, I won't :)). My very best wishes to you, Freddy and Zora through the year-end season, however you observe it, and the seasons and years beyond.

[@yomioloko9727]

"It's not about YOU" a very good mindset to have when moving from the global West to the global South including Africa. You are very right. Nobody owes us nothing and especially Africa owes no African Diaspora anything. More importantly do we have anything to offer anyone??? Including ourselves

Wow. I love what you did there. Acknowledging the bird up in that tree. Was it the rufus winged sunbird? Blue, yellow, black… background I imagine the green tree foliage!🇹🇿🇹🇿. Ime getting ready to repatriate and one of the attractions is nature & the outdoors. At my mature age it’s about letting go of all that I don’t need. I understand that having several streams of income is important. I would love to set up or join a creative writing group among other things. Your on point with sea moss as a therapist I appreciate the benefits of sea moss. I look forward to formulating with the powder also. By the way 2 weeks ago I took time for myself on a retreat here 🇬🇧 and also connected with yoga on line in Arusha. 👏

[@travelingsista]

I believe it was the Variable Sunbird. They are just so beautiful. And yes, having an income that can sustain you in the most important thing you can have out here. It’s crucial. Congrats on the retreat! I need one. It’s about that time lol
