Another year of gratitude...

I remind myself every year on this special day how blessed I am to have been given another year to experience the wonders of this beautiful world! 

My birthday is a day I reflect, cherish and love. I believe that I am the equivalent of fine wine or delicious cheese. The older the better. I am thrilled to be another year older and wiser today.

Like the song says: ‘Live your life with arms wide open, Today is where your book begins, The rest is still unwritten.’

Someday, I will tell the beautiful story of how human "expectations" were defied to write an emerging beautiful story. 

God already made the way, inspite of me: It is called GRACE

Like the eagle, I am free to fly!

All I can say thank you Jesus!!!

What you tell yourself is so POWERFUL!

When you don't love yourself you try to fill yourself up with sex, drugs, and food until that "void" you are trying to fill spills out and it goes into your relationships.

For the longest time I personally was victimized by the Frankenstein of my life... ME! 😂

I had quietly told myself several times: ‘’…You aren't good enough as you think you are.’’

You'll never feel confident enough, No one will ever love you, No one will accept you just as you are, You will always be the friend that would never check up on others, bla, bla, bla…

Does that sound like you too?

What I learned is that, what you tell yourself is so POWERFUL! 😱

So if you think you are any of those things, you are RIGHT. What you tell yourself out loud or in your mind is what your heart hears and it tells your brain what to say…Change your "I AM"

Start practicing your "I AM' s" and leave all the self-doubt, swipe right to all that negative self-talk and rather Choose to love yourself faultlessly!!!



I went through this motions too ... doubts in my head and a voice telling me to stay in my comfort zone since I wasn’t good enough ... BUT when I broke that vicious circle, I realized I could reach everything. Learn to fight for you, like I did for me... All the best to you!

The sun will rise and set regardless...

The sun will rise and set regardless, so what you end up choosing to do with your "light" is up to you.
But you are still living in your "cage". No one keeps you there but you. You totally forgot that, that cage has had its door wide open for years.
Stop letting yourself be locked up from things, people, bad experiences, fear etc. fully cut ties with it once and for all.
No longer give permission to let "residual moments" hold your life captive and live rent free in your amazing soul.

Being normal and safe is kind of boring. Yes, it's a "easy walk" but flowers don't grow that way. Flowers grow when rained on and they survive Nigeria's hottest sunlight and the most crazy storms, so do we.

Trust what you've gone through

Do you ever feel like why did this happen to me or why does it continue to happen? I do.

But I want you to realize that whatever situation you went through or are going through right now, it's all for a big reason and honestly, some of those reasons, I have fully come to appreciate, embrace and accept. It was for my good.

Whatever has happened or continues to happen is part of your story so you can share it with others.

Think about your situation or a situation that has happened in the past and how many other people you were able to help because of it!

And always remember that ANY situation is a moment of your life, not your entire life unless you make it that way.

Choose to use what you have been through to inspire someone that is going through, and let them know that they aren't alone.

Oh God It's Monday (OGIM)...Thank God It's Friday (TGIF): Really!!!???

Honestly one of my biggest life goals is to build a life and a thriving career where I'm constantly not waiting for the weekend.  

I don't want to live that way, where I hate five days of the week because I hate my life and my job so much, that the only relief I get is Saturday and Sunday.

I want to enjoy my life and what I do, and not wish it away every week.

I want each day to matter to me and to someone someday, even in a small way.

I want to love my life, what I do, all of it, not just my life on the weekend.

What I'm saying to you is, build a life you don't need to always escape from.

I hope you use every day to build your life into something you are proud of living! ❤

Love you, some you.

Be so thankful for your struggle because if it didn't happen, you wouldn't have stumbled upon your own strength.

Flowers grow back, even after they are stepped on. So will you and I. Sometimes you forget about taking care of yourself. You get so used to putting others in front you that you fall into the other roles you may have.

I don't understand why society installs in all of us that, if we take a moment to take care of ourselves that we are "selfish". You are NOT selfish.
When you take care of yourself, you are literally making yourself happy. That is also where you love yourself. You got to take care of your needs so you don't become so dependent on someone else making you happy.
Take a relationship for instance: Your man/woman should enhance your life, not make your life for you.

It isn't someone's job to take care of you or make you happy... It's YOURS.
So go pamper the heck out of yourself. (Pardon my Latin) 

Just in case you needed this: You are so beyond loved, You are so powerful, You are surrounded by so many miracles (go look in the mirror because you are a miracle)
You are here to be one big ball of fire in this crazy dark world of ours.
And really,really,really, believe that whatever you desire is here and you CAN and WILL have it all.
