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!

Baa baa Black Sheep

‘Baa baa black sheep have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full One for the master, One for the dame, One for the little boy who lives down the lane.”-Baa baa Black Sheep, Nursery Rhyme Oh how I loved nursery school! Learning was so much fun and colourful as the teachers taught using music, visuals and lots of play and let’s not forget nap time! Gosh! (I stare into a blank space with so much nostalgia). Hmm, question! Is there more to life than trying to constantly fit into other people’s moulds? Are my imperfections so great that those around are blinded to the planks to the planks in their own eyes? Or maybe I am just not appropriately in the right place? At one point or another, we all have faced identity issues, or have suffered from the ‘I don’t fit in’ syndrome. The worst time is the puberty-adolescent period. As an individual, one tries to live up to expectations from parents, teachers, peers and society at large. During that same period, an ...

Dirty Laundry Diaries: The Journey

My Beloved Mr. X   Dear Mr. X  You told me about this journey, a journey you embarked on, hoped that it would go on. You got into your car and you drove and she was on the passenger side; you headed for your destination. But the car broke down, the tyre went flat, and you both couldn't agree. You told her to wait, whilst you fixed the car, but she went on the other side of the road to catch another ride. Someone should have said, slow down, you will crash, and you will drive off the hill. Slow, you will burn; you will hit the wall.  Slow down, because you were an accident waiting to happen, or maybe a car going nowhere. Slow down; think about it before you take this journey. I was waiting on the highway, hoping to hitch a ride. Then you stopped your car, you smiled at me and your eyes seemed so kind. You opened the door and said let’s go, so I jumped right in and sat on the passenger’s side. It felt so right for you and me to be on this journey, actually, I though...

Single Ladies: The Metrosexual

*Riding on a black horse* (I wish).* BeyoncĂ©  wave* 'Hey single ladies!'. For a lady on a quest, the horse would have been ideal,right? Anyway ,how have y'all been? I hope the lessons that we are going through are helping us build character. (Wifen material). Today we have yet another bachelor under our radar. So we have so far, gone through our potential Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It who has been bachelor; the widower, the divorcee, the foreigner, the boy and last but not least, the single dad. Not so bad ladies. Now bachelor number six is,the metrosexual. Now why should we place such a man on our panel,you ask? Well,he is my personal favourite *wink*. The anatomy of a metrosexual. By definition a metrosexual is an urban man with a disposable income who spends a lot on his appearances. In other words, a guy's guy who is in touch with his inner pink. Now why would a metrosexual be a good candidate for Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It? He is not. Most metrosexual men, if not gay, or...

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...
