“I don’t feel loved” … This thought played games with my mind this whole week as I engaged in my day to day activities. I tried unsuccessfully to steer my thoughts from it and even searched my heart for that ‘love feeling’ to refute this line, but it persistently invaded my thoughts and strongly too. The constant weariness I felt by the end of each day did not help. “It must be this constant weariness manifesting”. I silently scolded myself…
Few ago weeks, hubby and I attended a marriage seminar. It was a fun filled and a really hilarious session. It was more of a refresher course for us and a reminder to be consistent in the ‘good’ we were doing to each other, while improving on the areas we slacked. We had a good time laughing at the examples given by the facilitators and even most questions and the answers discussed. Not to mention, that most of the issues…
Yipppeee! The hours, minutes and seconds finally ticked off and its now 26th of July 2015! I am super excited and I can’t keep calm! It is official that I am now 1,2,3,4,5,6.7,8,9,10….20… 30.. years old! I am so happy and most grateful to God. If you know what I have been through this last one year, you will understand my excitement. I have survived two accidents with long haul trailers that almost squashed my car and mau! I was so overwhelmed…
She got out of her 1994 Nissan Sentra, hobbling. Some visible, though vanishing bruises around her left eye couldn’t be concealed even with the heavy make-up she had on. She moaned and grimaced a bit as she shook my hands. “What happened, girl?” I asked her curiously. “Nothing, Fola, nothing”, she said, forcing a smile. “What do you mean by ‘nothing’? You are shuffling and hobbling, and you want me to believe that there is nothing?” She continued to force…
Friends are great to have, hold and love. I often imagine how boring our walk through life would be without the spice of friendship. Friends are priceless as they complement every aspect of our lives, they often serve as our adviser, loyalist, stylist/designer, experiment specie, gossip and mischief mate, merry and ‘waka’ partner, and the list is unending. Friends come in different shades, most are dependable while a few others are what we often refer to as ‘fair weather’ friends.…
Few days ago I turned my room “right side up” looking for a document. I brought out files and turned out cupboards that haven’t be touched in a long while. I eventually found the document, but in the process I stumbles on a number of love notes my ‘gentle man’ and I exchanged back in the days. Some were ‘make up’ notes (imagine those type of love notes after a quarrel) but the majority were declaration of love. Chai! Would…
When a woman cries, her world shivers and her tears pulls down insurmountable barriers. When she groans, her world cowers and her moans can be heard a mile away.When her heart is broken, her world collapses and its endless bleeding floods the street. When she grieves, the world within and around becomes dark and cold.When she is angry, the fumes from her nostril flares up a wet forest BUT When a woman smiles, it brightens the world with so much…
A mother heard the family cat yowl in pain. She knew where to look – she looked for her son, Mike. “Stop pulling the cat’s tail, Michael!” she chided.“I’m not pulling his tail,” the boy retorted. “I’m just standing on it. He’s doing the pulling.”He, of course, is no different than any of us. Often, our first impulse is to blame someone or something else for problems. It’s the cat’s fault. Or the school’s fault. Or my parents’ fault.I once…
I can’t help but write about the event of this evening. An exciting and thought provoking incident! I came into the living room with the intention to lounge – sit, stretch my legs and watch the television till sleep comes. But just as my butt hit the cushion, my ladies came bustling to possess their choice and coveted spot – mummy’s laps! Whoever settles in first ensures she takes full possession of the whole space with no intention of sharing.…
