From Glory to Glory

WHAT HAPPENS TO GIVERS? What happens when you finally realize the truth about yourself? Yes, I know it has been awhile since I have blogged and last wrote my innermost thoughts down. Well, after much introspection, today, I picked up my pen and  began fresh...I am back from my hiatus. I asked the question at the very beginning of this post that says what happens when you finally realize the truth about yourself?  I realize that most of our decisions as human beings are based on our choices whether good and bad and I realize that as humans, we are prone to making hasty and bad decisions…or is it just me? Here's the thing, I  am known as a "Giver" and most of the time those who are givers find themselves more times than not, being empty and depleted. As a Giver, I am also a person full of passion, so this means that I am a double-edged tragedy. For Givers, they usually get taken advantage off and for the passionate at heart, their passion oftentimes than most ki...

Shared this post on my Facebook page and thought I'd just share with readers on my blog. Mother's Day has a way of causing people to reflect on life as we know it, the best thing about that day was to sit down and penned these words to my son. An Open Letter to My Son To My Only Son... I thought deep and hard about writing this letter on Mother's Day when it is a day where we celebrate all that is good about mothers.Truth is, son Mothers are not perfect, although we often pretend we are. Having you 18 years ago, I was not prepared for it at all. You came into this world without even a wince or cry, you stayed silent until I took you home and then you discovered your lungs, you let loosed on me and everything in your path, enormous shrilling sounds of a baby wanting attention. Dear Son... I learned as I went along, trying to figure out how a young mother at 21 could navigate her path with a baby in tow. I prayed for you long before you burst onto the s...

Choose to Be, Right Where You Belong The thing about life is that you are always trying to find the place where you feel most comfortable and fit in. However, the place of comfort is basically a state of being because nothing is always what it seems. What I mean is this, there would always be some obstacles or difficulties that you would face where ever you exist. Perhaps, you're feeling frustrated on your job, or in your marriage or with school but those frustrations will have its place in your life to build you, shape you and define you. We sometimes think that we got to get out of something or move from a place because of all the signs which shows that it is not working and everything you are doing seems to be failing.  I know that feeling, oh so well where I just couldn't take it any longer because of some opposition that I was facing or difficulty that I found myself into, but the thing is everyone of those difficulties or obstacles challenged me, strengthened me and...

Happy New Year! GET UNPLUGGED! I am so excited about what this new year is going to bring. Perhaps, I cannot contain my emotions within me. I bet you know how it feels to open up a great gift or receive something new, like a new pair of shoes. The thrill of the gift or that new thing sends pleasant thrills throughout your body and you burst with pride for your "new" thing. Out with the old, in with new... What New Years plans have you drafted? Have you sat still long enough to craft your year out, set goals or get working on those pesky New Years Resolutions that you hardly ever keep? Have you decided about what opportunities you are going to pursue? Did you sit long enough to think all about it? Nowadays, the hardest thing to do is to sit still and not be immersed or mesmerized by some gadget or the other. It almost seems that some device needs  your attention. The many apps on your tablets, smartphones or computers all ring in chorus calling your name, vying for ...
