Blogger Challenge Day 2

Day 2: Meaning Behind Your Blog Name
 

I had a conversation with my dad recently, it basically revolved around the time that I was born (in Tanzania, its believed that the time you were born is important or maybe not in one's life) anyhow then it ventured to why I was given the name that I have. My dad simply looked at me and said well you were the first born so I let your grandmother crack her head and deal with it.

 

I remembered this conversation because I feel like the blog is my child (well it actually is) and I am the mother who doesnt know what name to give her child, at least this was at the beginning. I am sitting here and actually wondering if this name is good. So let me tell you the story behind the blog's name and justify to myself that its a good name!!!!

 

I come from Tanzania, as you must have guessed, Tanzania is a host to Mount Kilimanjaro-tallest mountain in Africa, many game reserves that it has and for its kind and amazing people. However, it stands out in one department, that is, when it comes to gems and stones. Tanzania produces a gem stone called Tanzanite, reason behind its name - its mined only in Tanzania and specifically in one region in the whole of Tanzania. This means that this stone is very special to the people of Tanzania. I for one, want my wedding band to have this stone :)

Everyone has dreams, big, small or nightmares for that matter, they are all dreams. Dreams in other words are also those things that one wants to achieve in life and these dreams are usually precious to us and hence where the name came from. A combination of my dreams and how special they are to me resulted in the name of this blog, because I could not really write "special dreams" just did not sound as good as this does!!!

So there you have it, Tanzanite Dreams. For every dream is special in its own way!
