LOYALTY

Hey guys,

Is it just me or January seems to be faster than expected😃?
Once again, happy new year and welcome to a new decade too. The following piece was just an offshoot of a random yet personal thought. 
Enjoy,

Loyalty
The living source of every growing relationship, in my opinion. Loyalty is perhaps what some label as ‘ride or die’ and in marital relationships, what the vows ‘for better or worse’ could have implied.
It is seemingly an easy yet rare virtue found in human beings and even animals – pets to be specific. I have however come to conclude that for some people, their loyalty is a price tag, a matter of the highest bidder. They swing to where it’s most favourable at the slightest feel of a heat.

To some, they just love you and even in your absence or lack of communication, they remain naturally loyal. It comes with no charge or tag – it’s just who they are and most times, we undervalue them. They are most vulnerable because they give to mankind, friendships and relationships a rare gift of nature, sort of deliberately alien to man.

Loyalty, a strong feeling of support or allegiance. Being faithful to one’s oath, engagement or obligations. Every sphere of life’s success is so dependent and in dare need of it and loyal people.

You should be thankful if you happen to have some of these rare gems around or in your life. It shouldn’t end there, you also should be a reason someone is thankful too!

Love & Light,

    I think more people need to read this and be reminded of the true meaning of being loyal.

    The world has so changed that finding a loyal friend, partner, associate or even enemy (lol.. yes I know what I wrote: some people can't be loyal of their beef because its inherited) is becoming herculean.

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...
