ME

I am that girl
Dances to rock and move my hips to hip hop,
Slow dances to neo soul,
Meditate to classical music
Transcend to different planes with Celtic music.

I am multifaceted
I am one and many
I am everything and nothing

I have love, I feel joy
I cry I feel pain and I struggle

At the end of it all I am ME
And boy do I LOVE ME

RETURN TO SELF

Well hello there,

This is my first post of 2019.
I have missed this sanctuary.
I am returning to self

In the journey of life
Don't shy from returning to self.
Life is a journey of discovering one's true self.
A series of inventions and reinventions

Trials shape us
Highs and lows define our character.
We get knocked down
We lay down think, hurt and then muscle by muscle
Second by second
We rise

So return to self
Return to you
To the journey you left
Fear not what the world thinks
Be true to you

Shine like the star you know you are
Be your wise counsel
Be your cheerleader
Be gentle with your spirit
Love yourself truly and deeply and most of all madly.

Glad to be back.

PERSPECTIVE

Driving around with my sister today she commented how clean my car was compared to hers.
I laughed because to me her car is cleaner.
She also told me how nice my hair was yet I think hers is way better
This brought me to percerption
We perceive our lives are all that yet others think we are thriving
We yearn to other people live their lives and vice versa
Perspective is key in life we all need it lest we lose our way or drown
Challenging myself to love what I see where I am and what I am doing
My new mantra is Don't hate congratulate or elevate.

WONDERWOMAN

I dedicate this post to all the wonderwomen  in my life and out there.
To my mother for being a pioneer in her field and an amazing mother. She is brilliant,tenacious never says die and always there to help.
To my sisters for being leaders in their fields and amazing mothers singlehandedly running their to households.
To my amazing sister 224 F is all you  need.
To my sister in law for raising amazing twins and keeping the home front.
I realized today that I'm surrounded by wonderwomen every day.
From family to the amazing sweet nurse who raises her kids singlehandedly and always has a kind word.
To friends who reinvent themselves and dare to dream and go where they say nay here's to you Tamara and Norah.
To myself, my journey from when I began this blog, my sad moments and to my constant drive to change and be better and never say die or let anyone keep me down
To my haters, don't hate congratulate or elevate because I have only just begun.
P.S Expect long hiatus again guys but continue being wonderwomen.

BE GOOD

BE GOOD

Thanks for being the good one, I remember being told this once,
Be good it costs nothing
Do good it lightens the soul
It pays forward
It opens doors,
softens hearts, changes minds and perceptions

Be good for it negates the evil around you
Why I should bother? You ask
The answer is resounding
It changes the world around you
One second at a time, one thought at a time one action at a time

A ripple effect in the seas of life.
So go out there
Be Good
Do Good

LOOKING BACK MOVING FORWARD....

Learnt a lesson this week, how many times do we look back with regret
Go through scenarios of failed ventures, missed opportunities,closed doors.
Follow exes who hurt us or people we should have dated.
Recently I met an ex who told me leaving me was his biggest mistake, any man who leaves me regrets it.
I questioned why he'd choose such a time to say this?
As I pondered over it my love tells me he was approached by an exes friend who attempted to besmirch  my name not knowing that he's known longer than any man.
So I made a decision today to move forward the road ahead is better
For those who let go of a good thing don't weigh them down with your regret for you have no right
Move forward don't look back, you left, you said no, you let the chance go, so move forward
As I embark on a new year the road ahead is least travelled but I move forward with hope and courage I move forward so my friends move forward don't look back.
 As my favorite author said don't wait by the harbor for ships long sailed, nor be the sailor looking back at the harbor.
 Forge ahead .
 Be you the best you right now in this moment for the present is all we have.

FINDING MY CENTRE

It's been a while since I blogged and well lots happened
Back in school enjoying it so much have so much clarity
Met people who demonized me earlier but now I just have pity on them
They saw my power my strength and purpose n chose to oppress instead of nurture and embrace it

My love and I were united together in front of our family
The joy and pride in our families eyes gave us wings to soar like eagles
I have found my centre
I am where I am meant to be

So blessed to know my happiness is my own
Blessed to know no one can put you down unless you allow them
I am a force of nature
I am not alone
I am loved

On to the next chapter of my life
I'm glad I'm sharing it
I am loved by God my family both of them
But most of all I love me
