My Last Day in Africa –
A New Journey Begins
The sun rises slowly, casting its golden glow over the familiar landscapes that have shaped me.
The air is thick with the scent of earth after the rain, a smell I will carry with me no matter where I go.
The distant sound of birdsong mingles with the soft rustling of leaves as the wind whispers through the trees.
Today is not just another day—it is my farewell to the land that has held me, challenged me, and shaped me into who I am.
I walk barefoot on the soil, feeling the pulse of Africa beneath me, grounding me one last time before I step into the unknown.
My heart is heavy with goodbyes, yet light with anticipation.
I take pictures of everything, knowing that no camera can truly capture the depth of what I feel.
The people, the places, the sunsets that seem to set the sky ablaze—each moment is etched into my soul.

Mars retrograde brought struggles, exhaustion, and moments of doubt.
But today, I leave that behind.

Packing up and leaving isn’t new to me—I’ve done it time and again.
But this time, something is different.
For the first time, I have no idea what the secrets of the future holds for me, no plans set out.

Background of Saint Nicholas

Saint Nicholas, known as the inspiration behind Santa Claus, was a 4th-century Christian bishop of Myra, in present-day Turkey.
Renowned for his generosity, humility, and miracles, he became a patron saint of children, sailors, and those in need.
Saint Nicholas was especially known for secretly helping the poor, such as placing gold coins in stockings hung by the fireplace.
His life embodies selfless giving, compassion, and faith.
In time, his legacy transformed into global traditions of gift-giving and kindness, celebrated during the festive season and particularly on his feast day, December 6th.
