There’s no way a’thank You’ post wasn’t happening
Sometimes I get forgetful, and I become proud in my achievements and supposed competence. In those times, I have to ‘remind’ myself to be grateful/ But there are other times, that I know that I know that I know that there is absolutely no way I did whatever it was by myself. The writing of my dissertation was one of such times. Continue reading “There’s no way a’thank You’ post wasn’t happening”
Cast Your Burdens… But…
Yes, He does want us to not be burdened, or worried, or pained. But that’s not all, it doesn’t stop there. It’s not like ‘Here Jesus, it’s all yours.’ You drop it in His lap, flex out the kinks in your muscles and walk away. Nope. He requires something of you. Continue reading Cast Your Burdens… But…
Epilogue: The Riverside Walk
Okay, I realise that the prologue and story are missing from the blog. So, how did I come about this ‘epilogue’ bit? Well, as my masters programme rounds up, or should I say has rounded up (handed in my dissertation last week), I’m calling this season the ‘epilogue’. So, I decided to check some things of my to-do-before-i-leave list. I’m currently in Canterbury, Kent (which I’ve decided is one of the best places in England period); and contrary to some opposing views on the city, it is one of the ‘funnest’ places to be in.

When Your Heart Can’t Take It Anymore
I am once again in a position where I am questioning the worth-value of romantic (for want of a better word, but just so I’m clear) relationships. This is only the second time (‘once again’ sounds really bad), but it’s definitely two times too many for me. Let’s face it, committing yourself to loving someone that way is pretty much handing over a gun/knife/flamethrower/bomb detonation button/ grenade launcher (enter your weapon of choice) and saying, ‘Here, I’ve decided to give you the power to kill or at least maim me for life. Use it as you wish.’ Continue reading “When Your Heart Can’t Take It Anymore”
Make Lemonade!
“You can be bitter, or you can better.”
The first time I came across Alex Boye’s (Boh-yay) work was when I watched his cover of the popular song from Frozen – Let It Go (watch here). It was pretty captivating, but I didn’t really notice him, I was mostly taken by the young female lead, and I forgot about him. That was until I came across The Piano Guys cover of Coldplay’s Paradise (watch Peponi) – which I absolutely love. Now, The Piano Guys… That’s a story for another day (just know I think they’re great!).
Anyway, back to Mr Boye. Continue reading “Make Lemonade!”
I am a Passionate Woman
Nope, this is not a self-affirmation post. Please bear with the title. 😀
“Nobody told me life would be like this.” That’s something I’ve heard my father say a number of times, and I don’t think statements get truer than that.
Recently, I was trying to imagine what a friend of mine thinks of me (Don’t judge me, I tend to over-think things. I could just have asked, and saved the mental exertion for other things, right?). It was during this intellectual sojourn that I thought, “I wonder if he thinks I’m a passionate woman.” Continue reading “I am a Passionate Woman”
Check out my music blog!
Yup, I started another blog… I do music posts on The Perfect Life once in a while but I started getting a lot of ideas for music posts and I didn’t want to make the blog completely music-oriented. So, I started a new one just for music! Please drop by and check it out here. Enjoy! xoxo Continue reading Check out my music blog!
Bridge to Haven (Francine Rivers) Review
*** This post has some content unsuitable for younger readers (I’d say younger than 16)***
Francine Rivers writes a book, I buy it. That’s the way it goes. No questions asked, no thinking twice, I barely glance at the synopsis, I just buy it. I believe she’s one of the greatest authors to have lived on this planet (If you’ve come across my review of A Voice in the Wind you probably already know how much I love the woman). So, you can be sure soon after I heard about her latest book – Bridge to Haven – I was clicking ‘buy now’ on the Kindle Store. Read my review
Redefining Success
A man (by ‘man’, I mean humankind- both male and female) is generally measured as successful based on two things: his marriage (and family), and his career. I once heard someone saying, “At her age, she should be thinking of her marriage and career.” I believe those are the two things that the majority of humanity lives for.* Once an individual is “of age”, done with education, he/she starts looking for:
- a job (preferably one with upward mobility possibilities), and
- the one person they plan on spending the rest of their life with.
We can’t just watch any longer
I put this video up on Facebook about two weeks ago. But my concern for the situation in Nigeria is growing even more. And after reading a post on Africanism Cosmopolitan (click here to read), the reality of things hit me all over again and I thought to upload the video on YouTube and here. http://youtu.be/mNK704EJ9js Hopefully you have clicked on the link and seen that there … Continue reading We can’t just watch any longer
