LET IT SHINE!

I was going through my old blog and saw this short piece I had written in October 2013. I read it on over, remembered what led to my writing it and hummed the foot note song of course as I sit now, smiling down at my computer at how old troubles and hurt can become and of course the power of "self spoken words!"

So speak and sing it...let it shine!


The pain so deep, love turned sour, heart pinched and punctured ..A betrayal of trust and friendship!
Like you imagine hun?
I searched for words but lost touch of it. I struggled in vain to give my thoughts a voice, struggled to be free!
It was a battle field of the mind that only I could fight…
Only I could say to me, stop sulking and get up!
Only I could be brave to hit me on the head and tell me to think!
Only I could dare to arise and shine again!
And now…
As I hummed the ‘let it shine’ song playing on my music player
I say, i arise and shine!
And i can get my groove back!
Yea…that’s the spirit of a fighter…that is ME!

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...

Hello there!

Is it too late to say happy new year😥?! I mean, a quarter in the year 2021 is almost over, so I will let this mushy feeling slide, and let’s say I will pretend like I have been writing and written to you all these while.    Happy? Yes.    So, what have you been up to?  As for me, after the whole #EndSARS movement, I just literally had this block. In fact, I wrote a couple of things in my notebook but just couldn’t bring myself to sharing here.  I was beyond devastated, as many people – Nigerians were.    Anyways, before and since then, I was also doing a lot of thinking, studying, and preparing for a professional examination, which I wrote and passed in December, last year – yay!! Then, I have just been having ideas on a lot of things I would have loved to share with you but you know what they say about procrastination. Yea….got the best of this relationship!   I’m sorry.  Now, I hope to be more consistent – I know I have said that a mi...
