Creative Adventure: My Crafts Business

It is always like this: after you start something you discover you love, you ask yourself why did I not begin sooner?

The crafts business that I launched in November, 2020, is sprouting and stretching.  

It all began with a friend's request:  "You must do something with your penmanship!"

That led to intentional conversations...and the universe was captivated! 

God put me in the midst of people who want to create and install fresh ideas.

Three months later, cross-pollination is occurring. 

Like a bee, moving from flower to flower, trailing pollen, borrowing ideas to create new ones, 
my imagination is profiting and my creativity is soaring.  And my writing is calling me!

"...openness to experiences can sometimes be related to creativity.  After all, being creative requires doing something you have not done before.  If you are not willing to do something new, then it is hard to be creative." Read More. 

I have decided I am not going to ask why did I not start sooner.  "I have been on sabbatical." That is all.

I invite you to visit Mama Shujaa's Etsy Shop and have a look at what I have created.

And! I am celebrating a milestone:  my first virtual crafts workshop: A "Galentines Affair."


New adventures await. 

What have you not begun painting, writing, creating?

See the World, No Visa Required

Early last month a friend sent me an email with the subject FW: Student Cultural Exchange. "Exciting opportunity," the two words leaped at me as I slugged three short paragraphs to grasp the important details. Age range: 13-16, male or female. Commitment: 1 week, July 6th to 13th. I made note that only eight privileged friends were recipients of the message. Until I read the last sentence, "Feel free to share with others!" My friend is charming, but she is also practical. Interestingly, our thirteen-year-old conceded reluctantly to the novel idea of hosting a Chinese student for one week. My guess is that his regular summer routine - daily swim team practices, and swim meets every Thursday evening - causes little anxiety. In addition, sticking to his assigned school projects and reading lists, is easy and comfortable. Moreover, when we sat to discuss the opportunity that evening, he must have thought hard about the adjustments required, about coming out of a c

Kilimanjaro

By HANA NJAU-OKOLO Kilimanjaro You are I am Melting. Those patterns etched into your face Are tears carved under my eyes Draining through the mask. A glacial screen The landscape of my life Frozen into the familiar. Snow-cap Washing away As men in their folly Plunder the spoils of the earth. Face-to-face you say Do not weep for me Weep for yourself And for your children. For the Sahara And its spreading. For your soul Marooned on an Island of dreams Unfulfilled.
