FEVERISH JUNE




This is one month of the year where expectations are high, anxiety and frustration bloom for many.

It is that time when you begin to question whether it will be or not.

My very nice friend and colleague once shared with me, that in life, people will always have expectations- you also have expectations. – When will you marry? Married- when are you having children? – Child comes. When are you having another child… and it keeps coming.

It is life, don’t get mad, many of them mean well but shirk mockers.

It is often a great challenge and sometimes a shaming experience when you don’t have what you should at a time or the things that comes naturally to others is often a jungle toggle for you.

Meanwhile, at some point you will be disrespected by those who once respected you especially if they are more privileged than you in acquiring these life assets. They begin to address you in terms of their experience gained where you are lagging. Handle it well.

Wow! It is a tough place to be but how do you respond, when all the ladies/guys you married years ahead of are becoming a semi- community?

Sometimes they make you cast an evil eye on your family and spouse.

It is frustrating to walk alone, or attend a function where most of your friends come half or full - by this I meant with their spouse, portfolio, child/children and you come along smiling all is okay. Most times you are and sometimes you are not.

I do like you to know that when you don’t have a single explanation for the events in your life, someone does- God.

You have prayed about that spouse, education, job, child, home, family. You have petitioned the anointed to pray on these issues. You are just on track.

What should you do?




Know that life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.

Know that your journey is different and unique as well as that of others.

Know that life storms come in varying degree to anyone and everyone.

Know that you will not always be disadvantaged in life; your time will also materialize in the time of life.

Know that no one could fully understand your pain, also know that some do.

Stay happy, keep your focus. Grieve little, and then move on.

Know that your time will come.

Seek help, keep your emotions healthy and find God’s purpose for your life.

Nothing should matter, let love grow inside of you, it is a choice you have to make.

THERE IS A MIRACLE IN STOCK FOR YOU.

    Many people get it wrong when they compare themselves with others. They fail to understand that ' time changes nothing but the right decision '. No matter the time you or others start, things might not change. It is when you FOCUS in making the right decision that you begin to see yourself as you ought to have...Maybe, you are the problem. It is time you understood others matter just as you do ... Stop comparison unless you intend to improve on it. Position yourself!

The Journey of Becoming: Embracing Every Moment

There is always more to what we will BECOME—the dreams in our hearts, the pain in our chests. The highs and lows. The fleeting thoughts. The disappointing and embarrassing moments. The truths we told. The parts of us that stayed hidden. The stories we shared, the ones we are proud of, and the ones we left untold. The families that shaped us—our hopes, challenges, and desperations. Our nationalities, race, and identities. The clear paths and the undefined. The special moments. The grey days and the ones spent lingering in bed. The days we couldn’t see ourselves for what we could be. The defeating, deafening silence from those we once called friends. The lies we told ourselves about who we really are. The starting over days. The years we lost. The feigned laughter, the genuine one, the fights and quarrels with self and society. The hate, envy, and pretense from others. The ones that kept us going and the ones that brought us down. The moments that hit us where it truly matters. The love,...

Finding Closure

 Finding Closure Our lives are often a potpourri of events and circumstances that shape us—defining who we are and who we are becoming. Many spend years trying to find closure from an event—or series of events—that altered their very existence. From the chaotic memories of a once "happily ever after" to the longing for a true soulmate, we all carry stories waiting to be laid to rest. It could be the slow fading of a once tightly-knit relationship, the sting of unexpected loneliness, or the crushing weight of a loved one’s passing. It may be the pain of fruitless efforts despite tireless labour, or a medical condition that rewrote every part of your world. There’s the journey of losing and regaining faith—the wilderness moments. The people we left behind, the ones who left us. The doors we closed, those shut against us, and those that never opened. The pleasant. The unpleasant. The failures that pushed us forward, and those that knocked us backward—leaving us feeling like we’r...
