I always wondered when I would write the first sentence of my story.
I wondered if I would even realise that I had written it. So then I wondered if perhaps I haven’t written it yet. So why not write it now?
Well — even if I decided to write it now, I may turn around in future and find my starting sentence was something else I had forgotten I wrote.
I will never know until I actually publish my book. For that will be the time when my opening sentence is decided. Not the day I drafted it, or wrote the words. But the day that it is published, and no longer in my control to change.
For now, let’s start with the important details for this part of the story.
Welcome to the story behind Kiki Dreams Big.
I dreamed up Kiki Dreams Big in April 2025, and soft-launched with my website: kikidreamsbig.com
On my homepage, I started with an expression of my dream for Kiki Dreams Big:

In June 2025, I formally launched Kiki Dreams Big and started my first Arc — I measure my time in Kiki Dreams Big through arcs, which are 26 weeks long.
The Dream was to figure out what I wanted to do next. The “next” is important there because I had 6 months to figure out that answer. That was 6 months I gave myself to explore ideas, and lean on my creativity as my guide.
My first 90 days working on Kiki Dreams Big were amazing in so many ways — too many to list here. My instincts had been correct so far. Creativity was the guide to follow.
It was in Month 4 | September when I realised that I wanted to take the amazing progress I had made so far and turn it into an engine for transformation. Something I could reuse myself. Thus, Kiki’s Big Dream Experiment was born!
