What are you feeding on?

Look at these beautiful balloons? Do you think they fly because of their pretty colours? Think again...  it's because of their filler which is a kind of gas. What do you fill your self with? Bad thoughts or negative words? You need a pure filler to rise quickly from the ashes of the past and remain high up. You can't mix good and not so good associations right now. You may not be able to stand the test of height with that decision; you are dealing with pain and already imbedded negative thoughts and energy. To rise above all you have been through , you must DELIBERATELY make positive relationships, leave your comfort zone and be positively energized. Do not let another dampen your spirit by reminding you of your past pain and struggles. You already know what you went through , don't hide in that pain or shame. You dust yourself up and say, "still I rise!".  Focus on how you can get out of your limitations and work on it. Let go of the fifteen old frien

An A-list Jesusbrity

An A-list Jesusbrity is a child of God that believes eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, neither has it entered the heart of Man what God has in store for him or her. You have got to have fair yo be a jesusbrity, believe His word does not fail! Jesusbrity, a name I just invented for a believer who believes her future is bright inspite of her past!

FORgiveNESS

Forgiveness means to FORget the wrong and GIVE your heart to God to mend it. A few years ago, a 'friend' really hurt me. She was someone I was not close to but just had a habit of 'paving' the way for me.  At first, I found it childish that she would say things about me that were not true and would read several meanings to my actions or words. At first I thought she would stop, but she didn't. Because I was not a talker, I was waiting to see Karma catch up with her; but Karma never did. When my other relationships began to get sour based on this assassination of character, I just internalized the hurt and tainted my perspective of everyone; everyone was sent to hurt me. Next, I isolated myself and drowned in my pain . I was hurt because my actions were constantly misconceived and it seemed no one  gave me  a chance to show them who I was. I let hurt cloud my judgement and reasoning. I have experienced a lot of identity crisis in the past trying to b

He knows what you need.

Walking into the house yesterday, I noticed my pot of flower was blooming. Yay! Thanks to the rain and cool weather- that is when I enjoy this rare display.. 9ja sun has a way of killing the bloom😒 .... just like 9ja situation has a way of killing our capacity and intentions.. Matthew 6 readily comes to mind.. God is aware of your present situation but He insists you should not worry because He knows you need the rain(blessings) and cool(trial and tribulation-free)weather.                           25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of

Enough Already!

With Summer comes a restless three year old who is awake before 7:00 am and is knocking on my bedroom door. It dawned on me  that I had to find a way to channel Arielle's energy so that we both wouldn't tear our hairs out. While shopping yesterday, I decided to buy a few everyday items to keep Arielle busy; straws, finger paints, flour, food coloring. With the help of Google and some worksheets, I hope to keep her busy and make her wiser. It is essential that she's more intelligent after the summer break. So, I drew up a table so we could establish a routine for work, and then play. Today, we revised some of what she learnt in Literacy last term; phonic sounds s,a,t, and i. Then we read some words. and we decided to snip at some colorful straws and make a patterned necklace. It was so much fun for her. I wish you all the best in keeping your LO busy at this time.

Painful Experiences.....

Wouldn't Life have been so beautiful if you did not have to worry about certain people, and what they do or did?While settling down to have my breakfast a few hours ago, I just thought of the few sweet people that have come my way this year. It did take me a while to warm up to them, if you know what I mean. I'm asking myself, 'are they phony?' , 'do they really care?', 'what's in this for them?'.. That's what happens when your mind has been messed up, and sadly your heart has been sliced into two as well. As I gleefully poured blueberry yoghurt into my oats, I shook my head in pain. How did I ever make it through that season of anguish and bitterness? It seemed like yesterday, but at the same time it felt like a  totally different dimension. Honestly, I felt a twinge of pain unconsciously going down memory lane, but I quickly looked at how far I've come. I may not have accomplished a lot career wise, but I am stronger; firmer in my decision

Fan Craze

It is amazing the effect Celebrities have on teenagers.  Just recently, I saw a picture of two American teenage sisters attending an event on an online news site. As they posed on the red carpet, you could see hundreds  of  excited pre-teens and teenagers screaming in the background. I may not have been that fan-crazed when I was eleven, but I was a teeny bit crazy. I was such a huge fan of Scary Spice that I used all her unusual nail polish colours( which are now considered normal); Mel B was my idol. Back then, I could have done anything to look like her; she was everything I wasn't; outgoing, vibrant, and playful, but I loved her. I desperately wanted to get a tongue piercing and a belly button piercing, but couldn't because there was no Piercing Parlour back then in the ancient city of Kano. Decades down the line, I never did get the  piercings done even when I had several opportunities. A few years down the line, I discovered tongue piercings meant different things to di
