  • 5 things you would never know about me

    1) I hate it when my nails break

    I got natural clean nails from my dad. Since I’m used to having them long since I’ve never cut them before, it really pisses me off when they get cracked and eventually break. It ruins my mood.

    2) I sleep this way almost every night

    Funny right? Don’t blame me. Since I’m looking like a big lady, rubbing powder all over my face before going to bed makes me feel like a child. And I sleep more comfortably sleeping that way. I also forgot to add that the smell of powder fills my nostrils with calm and peace.

    3) I haven’t fixed a hair in two years cuz I hate them.

    I hate the fact that I have to comb and comb and oil and knot and do all this stuff just to get one hair ready. I’m impatient so I end up ruining my hair. And I hate the heat, weavons give me unbearable heat and makes me scratch my neck all the time. So I dumped it and focused on carrying braids.

    4) I don’t like jean pants

    They make me look really cool and sexy but I don’t like them because they make me sweat all the time. And anything that makes me sweat is a no no for me. Wearing them can draining at times. You have to push in your legs and drag and drag till they eventually reach your waist. Ain’t got no strength for that.

    5) I sleep on the ground 350 nights out of 365 nights of the year.

    Not because I don’t like my bed but because I feel more comfortable on the floor. The floor is always cold, it’s hard and it’s more wider and limitless which makes it all the more sweet. Plus I’ve gotten used to it, since I slept on the floor as a child.

    I’m sharing this not because I want to share my inner happenings with the world but because I want you to think differently about yourself and people.

    When you meet people or friends don’t see the perfection they display in front of them. You should realize there’s a lot of mess in their lives that make that outer look so perfect.

    Including you too

    Who said those weird excesses you have ain’t cute. They are. They may seem awkward and strange to the world but they make you comfortable and calm so indulge in them. Embrace your silliness and childishness.

    In the same light share those strange/bizarre habits you have that no one knows about by dropping a comment and let’s have fun.

    P/S – Keep praying and stay safe.

  • Happy Anniversary to me! I love you.

    Woke up this morning to this guys

    At first i was like “Oh! Okay One year already?”….then when it sank in i screamed.

    Hell yeah! Its one year of blogging. One whole year with this amazing WordPress community

    One year of not actually knowing what the hell I’m doing here. Surprised? Please don’t be because its the truth.

    Every time i write a blog post and get ready to publish, the next thing out of my mouth is always; “this is lame, who wrote this?”
    Or
    “Nobody is going to bother glancing through this blog”.
    Or
    “I’m not even sure I’m making sense but ill post anyways”
    Or
    “Shit! Did i just post that?”
    Or
    “Oh God, this title is wack!”
    Or
    “Why is English so damn hard?”
    Or
    “Where should i put the apostrophe?”

    Because i know I’m just a digital pen that just writes, without having an idea of what is actually been written down. And then i slip into a corner and hide.

    The notification sound is what brings me out of that dark corner of uncertainty. That sound that tells me someone appreciates me for sharing my story. Someone relates with my pain. Someone must have shared in my sorrow. Someone has experienced what i have. Someone is sharing in my faith. Someone is taking out time to pray for me. Someone sees that i am doing my best.

    That gives me the greatest relief and satisfaction because you are the important ones.

    You bring life to my post
    You engage in each post
    You keep this blog alive
    You spend your time here reading what a young girl who doesn’t know a thing writes.
    And for that i say a big thank you.

    You make it worthwhile. And i love you

    I love each and everyone of you in WordPress.
    I love you all my friends and family.
    I love you all my readers.
    I would be blind to this without you. I love love love love you.

    “Pass me that glass of wine and lets celebrate. Cheers!”

    Say a toast for me in the comment section, if you like and lets continue in the sharing of new and fruitful beginnings. It would mean a lot to me.

    So in the spirit of this anniversary I’m giving out five ebooks; two Christian novels, two business books to help you kick start your business in 2020, and one inspirational book. These are books that transformed my thinking, gave me insight on business and restored my faith in God and humanity.
