Life and Me... Memoirs of a church girl

Sometimes we do not understand the value of the people God brings our way and their purpose. Some are Indomie instant noodles, short and sweet like dessert and some are like pre booked al carte fancy restaurant meals. They are for special occasion with fine silver ware and matching plates. But there are some that are constant like Agege bread, never going out of style. They can go with beans, oil, coke, butter, jam, depending on how you feel. For people that have a lot of people walking through their lives under different titles, you get to sense the extra in people and celebrate it.  In my life I have encouragers, those kind of friends that stick with you, your ride or die and I also have some hybrids. In business we are ride or die, in other areas we are like night and day. The important thing is to know where each fits and appreciate their uniqueness.  I have some friends that validated my childhood dreams, they developed my sense of adventure that everyt...

I don't like waking up early Especially on Saturdays, you know the rest day described in Genesis 1 where God wears a bikini and takes out his sun hat to play beach soccer with the angels, that Saturday!! I give an excuse to everyone I meet that I'm not a morning person I can work from noon till midnight. The problem is every time i hear those things about the fact that if you sleep 8hrs a day you can conveniently sleep away 1/3 of your life, then they add the TV time, Social media time, hangout time, short break time and at the end of the day you only end up using 10minutes of your life constructively per day. I was telling my friend that i have been feeling lax about my response to life and how there has been no dexterity in the quality of my work and this was the basis for the conversation that ensued Imagine if David just went to the camp, dropped the bread and left without finding out what was amiss with Goliath. Imagine if David after being anointed was carried int...

Tanzania 2017 Cover me I want to run and hide,  cover me don't let them see the scars,  how will you know where to heal, when you don't know where to go? "Drown the noise", "find a rhythm" How does that even work when you have become deaf from dancing to a single drum? How do you learn to dance when you have your feet on replay to a rhythm you don't know? Can I just sit here and the water flow Drowning my fears and filling my soul "You'll get whitewashed", they said "At least I will feel something", I think Because the lifelessness of indifference Generated by 3 worded " I don't know" Makes life slip by to maintain the peace While your heart has in clear details, the catastrophic mistake you may or may not be making

I am a fixer ( the Go to guy) cum researcher. My super power is welfare and cooking . Outside work and church I would be on the road 366 days of the 365 in a year. There is something about moving and travelling that is pure joy. I am a chess player, an upcoming skyline / landscape phone photographer (@b4best on Instagram). I like seeing plans come to life. Christmas some years ago I met a guy in one of this church mingling things ( I feel a particular way about these things) and this was how I described myself. Fast forward two years down the line and my opinion of myself has been weathered by the storms of the turbulent things that happen in a work space, life and growing up. I catch the first glimpse of hope when I decide to go to the blueprint of how. Worst case scenario, they will give me seven steps to being a woman ( If it ever existed). As i walk into the meeting area i see people in their lock up mode all tense and wondering like me wha...
