Life is all about taking chances!

Someone once said,there is no greater thing you can do for yourself other than being true to yourself. I agree with that statement completely. I am one month shy away from my birthday and for some reason I can't wait for it. It just means am growing older (some people would cringe at the thought) and hopefully wiser. But most importantly, I will start to put some pieces of the puzzle together and get a better understanding of who I am, where am coming from and where am headed to. I say this beacuse I was recently given an assignment that is going to test my abilities in a very major way.

A lot has been happening in my life of late. It is just the second month of this year but am feeling like am in the middle of it. You see, I have been in the middle of changing jobs (which am hoping will happen as soon as I can blink) and boy is it draining my energy...I am learn a lot while in the process...that I have to identify that one thing that makes me unique above everyone else. My BFF send me an article yesterday that talks about human strength and what harnessing that strength is all about.

I begin to understand deeper the famous words of the good book "I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength". When He created us in his own image, he gave us something unique to glofy his name. That one thing that we have that when someone else sees it, they know that there is a God that exists. Have you ever seen someone sing so beautifully it makes you want to cry? or someone who paints so well you are left in awe?Or someone who can inspire you to the depths of your soul that you are left full of energy? That is what am talking about. God gives us that, so that through it we can overcome some of the things life throws at us.

Last weekend I was a very busy bee doing mostly nothing but honing my social skills. It that buzz, the crew I was with and I stummbled into a movie called the 3 Idiots. At first we thought it would be the Hangover rendition kind of movie until we pressed play! (I know you are wondering where this is going but it is totally related to everything I said above) Turns out it was a very mushy Indian movie with a theme that moved some people into tears (I will not mention names but its paramount to know that they were men hehehe)
Movie features three interesting  people all of whom have made it to the prestigious university of Engineering in India...Bottom line is, one wanted to be a wildlife photojournalist and had no passion whatsoever to Engineering hence always came last in class,the other had a passion for Engineering but he was relying too much on his fear for failure he was actually failing and the third Idiot enjoyed learning and grasping Enginnering in the most unconventional of way he actually always topped his class.

Lessons are stemed from the last one who said...Education only facilitates one to have the wisdom to discover that talent in them and nurture it...I swear I teared when I haeard that statement. It made me go back and re-eveluate myself and my strengths. I discovered there is a lot I need to do to perfect that which is unique to me. I have been sitting on a gold mine all along and it was time I made use of what is mine!

ION: I was a very happy woman yesterday, a ghost form my past who had wronged me in a major way looked for me and apologized, had a splendid time with my sisters, the show down with dad went down!! (I was in spasms of laughter the whole time---but the debuckle was well handled!). And I know an actual rock star hehehe

Today am in a good good place both physically and emotionally....No one and nothing can take that away from me!!

Juices flowing, fave playlist, Thursday that feels like a Friday and all awesome thoughts. I am making mighty milestones and I thank one God Almighty bana warrr I have come far :) Ok now back to the usual sarcastic me...A friend gave me a brilliant idea and I think I just know how to execute it ( Jose I wish you were here, one serious bitching session needed- like real soon, since you went to the UK you have become ooooo so very boring!!!! KIDDING) So I have had the privilege to have been in a girls' school for four long but very interesting years and truth be told I had some of my most incredible memories there. It was a roller coaster of hysteria mixed with just the right dose of  hormonal rages and plenty of Cabin fever scenarios :) :) As am writing the memories all come to light and  cheka like a stupid mama wondering why we ever made such a big deal of some things! (Jana we was just telling pops all the crazy "don't tell this shit" things we used to as kids and...

MOTHERHOOD 101- I am no expert!

So my fiance has been begging me to write something,anything! and I kept putting him off...the writing bug has not been around for a really long time and too much has happend in my life that I really did not have time to write. Its been two months since I have officially been back to work and its killing me! Mad respect to all mother's y'all! Now I know. Most of my peers have been sending me inboxes of late asking for advise here and there about motherhood and I feel really honored :) So in honor of that, I will document sneak peaks of my motherhood experiences the best way I know how (Darn! my writing mojo just went and dissapeared with the dogs....sigh!) a) Pregnancy I have to say this was the most beautiful part of motherhood for me and the most challenging. I vividly remember when I first got the results of my pregnancy test..FEAR,PANIC,HORROR were the words that were running through my head. I was barely out of Uni, with a boyfriend I had dated for about seven months,...

I have not written on this blog for a whiiiiiiile...OK even that is an understatement. I have not had the juices flow in a long time and things have been kinda hectic on my end. As is my tradition, Its almost end of year and I have several things to document...It is that time of the year where I reflect, think about all the things that have happened in my life and sigh*2012 has been a pretty good year! So first things first... a) My Job Have you ever had a love/ hate relationship with your job? Well, lets just say am one of those people. My kinda job is fascinating, mind boggling even...the kind of processes that go through getting work out are intricate and it fascinates me and some people are pleasent to hang out with BUT others tho! Enough said. That said and done, I am now permanent and I thank God for the far he has brought me. Building my confidence in my ability to be the best at what I do. God has been great. b) My folks/ Family There is a phrase commonly used that I tot...
