Serendipity

Many are the obstacles and while we try, sometimes we need just one break!


I would have loved to continue writing about writing your own love story, but the desert that I have been circulating in is not fun, and the promised land seems to be more of a mirage than a reality.

It is said that if life throws lemons at you,make lemonade,but for me it's acid. I'm trying not to be a complainer and adhere to the year's theme of putting 'God First',but y'all that is so hard.

In one prayer meeting,a prayer point was suggested that everybody should pray for Job's resilience.Do not be hasty and look for other options,but press on in faith.

So what do you do when your whole world crushes down?Finances are strenuous?You are probably at the end of your rope;relationships are not working out,in the process your health decides to fail you.When everything you touch turns into Lot's disobedient wife,stone.

Bad week is only hilarious on TV,in real life,the walls echo with your screams of rage and your bedroom floor is filled with pools of your tears.C'est fou la vie.

But then,I remembered that life does not always turn out the way we plan but it's not always that it shortchanges us.Yes,God causes all things to work together for the good.

Okay,I haven't achieved what most people my age have,college degrees,their own cars,living on their own,some have status(*tounge out*),some espoused,and I?,Bear the scars of lessons taught by the School of Life.

But then again,I would not have been where I am,or be who I am, had my life gone the way I planned.If my life had gone according to my plans,I would have been a stuck up, spoilt introvert.

But I appreciate the little things,I'm humbled by praises,I understand humanity and my heart has never been as big as it is,even with what's left of it.

Serendipity is when a misfortune turns into favour or greatness.My growing pains turned into poetry in turn I discovered my gift,having my child made me alive,purposeful,a heartbreak made me a performer and rejection is going to make me travel all over the world,because of opportunity.

Life sucks a whole crate of eggs,but you can make a fire,pour some oil in a pan and fry them.

Joseph became governor of Egypt and fed two nations despite being sold off by his brothers. Napoleon is one of history's great leaders despite his short stature. Einstein was a scientific genius despite failing academically. And Oprah Winfrey is a media mogul and world icon despite coming from an abusive childhood.

And tomorrow, I will be the brightest diamond ever to shine from Africa despite being the stone that was rejected.

Serendipity.It's not so bad....

P.S: Always write your own love story.(This is your life,and the title is,'This Is My Story....')

Ciao!

Script My Life: Love By the 10th Date

Finding love shouldn’t be a duty but it should be a journey that you enjoy the ride while you get to it... I don’t remember when was the last time I related to a number of female characters in one movie. I finally watched Lifetime movie ‘Love By the 10th Date’.  The trailer to the movie, written and directed by Nzingha Stewart, enticed me for a good chick flick...about women of colour. The all star cast includes the gorgeous Kelly Rowland, Meagan Good, Keri Hilson and Kellee Smith. We also see Cat Deely, Joshua T Jackson, Andra Fuller and UnReal’s Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman. The story line follows a group of young, successful black friends who work for a high end, digital magazine Nina. The protagonist is Gabrielle Fateful a.k.a Gabby played by Meagan Good. Gabby is a graphic designer at Nina whose love life is an actual struggle. The scene that kickstarts the plot of the movie is when Gabby goes out for dinner with friends and workmates, Margot (Kelly Rowland), Bi...

Sing My Life: Birthday By Disclosure, Kehlani, Syd

"Can I call you on your birthday? Just to make sure that you're okay"   Birthdays can bring out the real in all of us. Happy Friday and it happens to be the Queen’s Birthday. Yes Beyoncé! Yeah,yeah, everybody loves Beyoncé. Shout out to all the Virgos! I'm so loving the Disclosure video for 'Birthday' featuring Kehlani and Syd. The visuals take on the 'Alice in Wonderland' aspect where Syd and Kehlani are stuck in a shrunken room. The giant versions of Syd and Kehlani wrestle with thoughts of reaching out to each other. The visual ends with claymation version of Syd and Kehlani, who who are shown in a candy land. They talk to each other while experiencing adventures including flying on the top of a single engine plane. And then they both get burnt. The closing of the video has voices singing 'Happy birthday'. Then a heart shaped box with Syd and Kehlani's names, and a cake with Disclosure's faces appear on the screen. Most of the wor...

Script My Life: Marry Me

If you want something different, you have to do something different! Woo, Jennifer Lopez really grated the cheese on this rom-com but I love it! Yes, this Valentines day, J Lo reminds us of all our fantasies of what really love should be. Jenny has always been a girl who loves love. So art somewhat imitates life. Following her reunion with former fiancé, Ben Affleck, we are definitely seeing Jenny from the Block 2.0. Who knew that getting back together with 'the one that got away' two decades later would revive romantically in J lo? We all know that Jennifer loves to be booed up. She's been married three times, engaged five or six (I've lost count). I believe relationship experts would consider her a love addict. But that's none of our business! Just in time for Valentines day, a romantic comedy simply titled, "Marry Me". The stars Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Maluma, John Bradley, Sarah Silverman, and Chloe Coleman. The movie opens with the title trac...

Script My Life: Mulan

Never despise chasing a chicken on top of rooftops! Oh my, I felt like a fortune cookie right there. I'm never the one to jump onto trends. I proudly stand as the few who aren't phased by FOMO. However for the 2020 adaptation of Mulan, I had to be on point with my movie watching. Between watching the trailer and a few expectations, I wasn't sure about my reaction. I'm a staunch Disney classics fan. I am one of those ladies who grew up on the  Disney princess  trope. I love Belle, Jasmine and Tiana, although Tiana was a frog ¾ of the film. The strong willed female with a free spirit is my spirit animal. Belle read books, Jasmine wanted to see the world and Tiana was a businesswoman. Hmm, sounds like someone we know. Wink! Disney decided to offer CGI, live action versions of all the animations that most of us millennials grew up on. To be honest, I hate most their reimagined versions especially 'The Lion King'. It was so bad, I didn't watch it twice. I really ...

Damaged

Maybe not today, but someday you will mend and breathe.   Breathe with a smile on your face, and tears of joy. As the good book says, joy comes in the morning. There's so much to say, at most to complain, but I want to check my privilege. I might not be where I want to be but I am at a better position. To quote my friend, a lot has happened in a year, especially in my career and psycho-social growth. But I'm only human, there are days I wake up feeling blue, overwhelmed and anxious. In a conversation with a colleague, we discussed our views on romantic relationships. He was surprised by my responses and perceptions about the state of modern relationships. I explained to him that from observation, he is the unicorn of the attachment styles. He is the secure type. But for the rest of us, we are 'damaged'. And while I write this, Danity Kane's 'Damaged' comes on. Ironic right. Well, I have a playlist called, 'That typa playlist', and it's got all th...
