Meet Masindi
Let’s Get to Know Me
I’m Masindi (or Sindi!), NBSLS has been in my heart since 2012, the year I passed matric and realised something important about myself, I may not be book smart, but I can be life smart. That belief became my foundation, as I’ve always managed to find the growth point and thrive, even in situations where it seemed impossible.
Here are a few fun facts about me:
- Not Book Smart, but Definitely Life Smart:
I may not have been top of my class, but I’ve always known there’s more to life than what’s in the books—and it’s been my journey to figure it all out, one day at a time. - Recovering Procrastinator.
This blog? Yeah, it’s been a long time coming! For years, I wanted to start but thought it was too late. Then I remembered: God doesn’t work on our timelines, so here I am, finally sharing my journey with you. - Team Lemon Water:
Coffee? Not my thing,it makes me sick actually. My morning ritual is all about hot lemon water with honey. It’s my little way of keeping things simple and sweet. - Deep Talks Mostly.
Nothing lights me up like a good conversation about God, marriage, relationships, and the real stuff of life. Small talk? Not my thing. Let’s get into what truly matters. - BMW Dreamer:
I’m a BMW girl through and through, I’m just waiting for the day I can call one my own! (And yes, I’ve got a soft spot for bikes and all things adventurous.) - Life Motto.
“Life is what you make it.” Heard it in a song as a kid, and it’s stuck with me ever since. Whatever comes my way, I know it’s up to me to create something beautiful out of it.
