Lettuce grow together: Growing dreams with Arobaini Sacco!

 

In my last post, I took you through the loops and stitches that have reawakened my creativity. Rediscovering my passions has been thrilling and humbling, as I learned to create anew with yarn and a hook. Now, as I think about what it means to grow intentionally, I realize that purpose isn’t just about what we create—it’s also about what we nurture.

So here’s where this journey takes an unexpected twist: what if we thought about building our purpose and dreams the way we grow a garden? A few months back, I stumbled upon something that made me consider this connection—joining Arobaini Sacco (Savings and Credit Cooperative). It might sound slightly different from crocheting or storytelling, but stay with me!

Imagine your purpose as a garden. It starts with a single seed, an idea, or maybe a tiny hope for a brighter future. But just like any garden, purpose needs care. It needs fertile soil, water, sunlight, and a bit of attention every day.

Now, think about your garden in full bloom. The joy that you feel when you realize that all your efforts didn’t come to naught but brought abundant harvest!

I don’t mean to glamorize the process of gardening. I’m not a farmer but I understand it takes a lot of time, effort, grit and patience. I also understand that there is always a sense of fulfillment that comes from knowing that you did your best at tending your garden, anticipating that over time, something beautiful and lasting will take root.

That’s exactly what Arobaini Sacco offers: a chance to nurture your dreams and talents. Whether you're aiming to go back to school, start a small business, or set up a creative workshop, every member at Arobaini Sacco is a gardener in this shared plot, nurturing not just personal goals but also collective growth.

Granted, I’ve been a member of other Saccos before but this particular one feels like a fertile ground for growth. I have had a front row seat to their journey and appreciated their ethos of “Community”. The old adage of “when you want to go fast go alone but when you want to go further go together” rings true for the folks at Arobaini Sacco. All for one and one for all!

Just as I encouraged you to dive into your passions in my last post, I’m inviting you now to think about your financial journey as part of that purpose. Joining Arobaini Sacco should be your next step—not just as a savings account but a way to cultivate dreams that matter to you. Whether you’re looking to start something new, make a big move, or simply feel more in control, the Sacco is here to help you nurture those goals. The best part is, you will be part of a community of like-minded people who will be there to support you and your journey towards accomplishing your goals.

As a member, you will enjoy exclusive benefits like affordable loans and saving plans that are tailored to help you achieve your financial goals.

THE LEADER WE NEED IS NOT THE ONE WE CHOOSE

  I’ve been thinking a lot lately about leadership: what it is, what it should be, and why, so often, we settle for so little. From personal experiences in the workplace to national frustrations with Kenya’s political class, the recurring theme is that we have made leadership about power and not purpose and we are now paying the price. It appears there is a serious leadership crisis not just in the top echelons of our country, but also in our workplaces, families, places of worship, and communities. Every conversation I’ve had recently with friends and acquaintances has led me to believe that most people are caught in the reality of dealing with leaders whose manners and character are questionable! But this isn’t about bashing leaders or pointing an accusing finger but about raising our consciousness to this issue. I’d like us to reflect and to ask ourselves deeper questions about the kind of leadership we have come to accept and the kind that we truly deserve. Years ago, I h...

CHAK A CHAKA– HERE IS YOUR PERMISSION SLIP

|Chak a chaka — Luo for “just start.” | I watched an interview the other day of a really famous person who shared how difficult it was for her to build her new business in quiet because of how much scrutiny she gets, whether she steps out or not. Her life has been so thoroughly dehumanized and monetized that even her silent moments become topics for endless debate and banter on national television. And the clickbait headlines on social media? Unprecedented! It made me reflect on how hard it already is to start a business and build it from scratch. Now imagine adding the extra pressure of fame on top of that. Even the thought of failure becomes unbearable, you can’t even risk it privately! Yet, building quietly is often essential, especially if it’s your first time or you’re wrestling with doubt and fear. Those quiet moments give you space to reflect, regroup, and plan your next move. Personally, I have been quietly building something, too. In fact, it’s been so quiet that my ...

LIFE BEGINS AT 40… OR DID MINE START AT 39?

Two months ago, I turned 40! Looking back, I always imagined turning this milestone age would be epic —full of glamor and celebration —but that was not to be. Instead, this birthday was quiet, full of reflection, and overflowing with silent gratitude . And honestly? I wouldn’t have had it any other way. If I really think about it, 39 was my milestone year —the year I consciously prepared for my forties. I envisioned the kind of person I wanted to be in this new decade and started making the necessary shifts to show up fully and intentionally . I wanted to arrive on the 4th floor quietly, peacefully, and on my own terms . So, I adjusted, I let go, I realigned. Now, 40 is about taking stock of the past, appreciating the present, and curating a future that generations after me will be proud of . And as I have been reflecting on this journey, here are 40 lessons that stand out—some learned the hard way, others whispered gently through experience, and a few still unfolding. Buckle up! F...
