Thank you God by @mandisanakana

A few memorable moments from an uplifting and #divine trip! I truly mean it when I say Divine. The warm and loving encounters, the creative collaborations, the miraculous birthday celebration, and the quality time spent with family.

From Mabopane to Ballito, Mzansi was shining in all its beauty and uniqueness. Until next time, ke tla le bona second half! 🫂 ✈️🇿🇦🇬🇧 by @mandisanakana

Moments like these, the firsts in our lives, are so precious. The first time you hold your baby girl in yojr arms, or her first word.

As parents everywhere will know, your first born teaches you the hardest lessons. One of the many you taught me @_bellaayanda is that you are your own person, who will walk your journey your own way. A lesson your younger siblings will thank you for.

Here's to the next part of your journey! We are so proud of you.

'If you desire with all your heart, friendship with every race on earth, your thought, spiritual and positive, will spread; it will become the desire of others, growing stronger and stronger, until it reaches the minds of all men.' ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Some captured moments from the past few months. Spending time with friends and family, in elevated conversation centred around Divine Scriptures. Serving at the youth conference, surrounded by youth who were asking themselves, 'how can I contribute to the betterment of my community?' #inspired #communitybuilding #familylove #friendship by @mandisanakana

You know when your inner voice starts as a whisper at first, but then gets clearer? And then things start to move as though the voice can be heard by souls you just know you were destined to meet. Like a magnet. It's beautiful when that happens. Those moments of synchronicity, guiding you to a mission.

To add to the Divinity of this unfolding, you realise that there's something 'in the air' that others are feeling too, and this case, it signals an awakening. One that can be felt by well wishers of humanity, who are selflessly working for the betterment of their communities. Those souls, in the same room, exchanging ideas and learning, can inspire the betterment of an entire continent. #AfricaTogetherConference

After the panel @cambridgeuniversity, I had the added joy of facilitating a workshop where we examined a grassroots initiative that transformed the village of Canjavu in the DRC, through a #bahai inspired capacity building programme. Link in bio

The tide is turning. Hope is rising.

Feeling inspired by this collection of creative contributions with writing prompts to help you peel away at the beautiful complex layers we all have.

The one I chose today had the following prompt:

''Have you been bracing yourself for a new beginning? Perhaps one that is daunting yet inevitable, or maybe one that you've been hoping for and dreaming about..."
