ILLUSION

I am a girl, a happy girl and I love to celebrate my being girly and every girl around...old, young, black or white!
Here is for that girl that is a woman or would be - for the SHE-roes!



      

The ILLUSION  Called   WOMAN!



 
        She  is a full circle, within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.
        She is wisdom and by her kings and rulers of the world are birthed.
                    She is crowned with knowledge and 
        her  feet graced by understanding. 
                    She is strong, full of grace and beauty.
        She educates the nation and the world learns at her feet.
        She fights with her might and strength for a just cause.
    She can hide her love for years but never her disgust for a day.
    She is the pillar behind the success of her man and the architect of his downfall.
        She makes and mare her home and the entire community in fact.
    She is everything you wish for and desire to have; yet a nightmare and the last thing you pray to have when wrongly chosen.
        The mystery  behind her creation is unknown even to the wise of this world.
                    She is a SHE -ROE worthy of celebration…
        She is the ILLUSION called ‘WOMAN’ !

For My G.Ma - Felicia

I never knew I would miss her this much. People never understood why I love Christmas. I didn’t quite get it too – apart   from the bursting joy of the birth of Christ, the melodious songs and beautiful decorations; there was more to the super hyper and lovey-dovey feeling I always have this season. So, I was scrolling through my phone gallery and saw the last photo I had with my G.Ma. Oh by the way, Christmas was her birth and death day. I’m writing this because of her. Just to share a bit of her awesomeness with you. That woman was a bad-ass! Reminiscing on my childhood memories with her, I realized she was the reason I love Christmas. I usually spent my Christmas and New-Year holidays with her as a child. She would take me to her church and ask the priest to allow me join other children in the Christmas carol rehearsals and performances. She would take me to the salon and have my hair done and accessorized. I hated making my hair, it was just too stressf...

Life

It seems like the only thing we leave behind besides legacy are the memories we create and imprint in the hearts of the people we love, have met, or cared for. Legacy, in my opinion, is formed out of memories – where we’ve been, the things that we did, our goals and accomplishments, even failures. The older I get, the more I think I’m beginning to understand the true essence of life. I hope I do. One moment, the people we love, know, or care about are here and the next they are gone. Tell me again, why we clench our fists as a new-born and let it all out when we leave? Or why we make loud noises in the announcement of our arrival and walk away in silence, sometimes without notice. Is life that meaningless, as the words of the king in Jerusalem, son of David? I never entirely fully agreed with some of his words in Ecclesiastes, the idea of it is very understandable though, actually very deep for one who has seen it all, I suppose.   ‘One generation goes its way, the next one...

Story

In this journey called life, where moments and seasons appear like stories that would become history and re-cycled in the future.  This story in which all must play a part, big or small, voluntarily or forcefully; somehow you are in the loop - it is the circle of life.  This story of life, some of us would write it; some would tell it; some would invent it; some would create it; some would act it; some would direct its sequence; some would learn and build from it; some would fight for it; some would die for it; some others would passively watch it.  In the end, you alone will choose what narrative you want your scene in the story of life to look like. Remember you are in the story, no one said you couldn’t be the story! In this journey called life, where moments and seasons appear like stories that would become history and re-cycled in the future. This story in which all must play a part, big or small, voluntarily or forcefully; somehow you are in the loop - it is the...
