THIS COUNTRY I CALL HOME

A friend of mine posted this image, I loved it, said a real 'Amen' and felt I should share this too.

She added, who said we are finished when we've just started. That reminded me of TY Bello's "THE FUTURE" song. If u have the video, just click on it and let it refresh your soul.

However, Something needs to be done about the crumpling economy and fast too. No electricity, no fuel, terrible debts record, missing cool 20 billion US dollars, Civil servants salaries unpaid and lots more! This isn't a citizenry issue that needs some education to correct but a Leadership illness that needs a miracle to solve.

Thank you Raquel Jacob for the image.

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.

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...

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!

Slow me down...

Here is my typical day: Wake up, say a word of prayer -sometimes in my heart while I brush my teeth and take a quick cold bathe; Jump into my clothes, do some little amateur work of art on my face (of which by the way comes out 'not too good' especially when there's no power and I had to use a torch!); grab my bag and shoes and any extra luggage and out I go.
