Bed time thoughts and Swollen red eyes : open letter

Saturday 28 September 2013


I feel so tired tonight, I have come to the end of my physical strength. I am sore, I have these unexplainable little bruises all over my hands, and my hair could honestly use a wash, but above all that, I am content.  I sit in my bed thinking about how much we have changed. Do you feel yourself changing? Changing into somebody that you actually like or love? (Maybe we will discuss this another day) yeah?

I think about how much we all don't communicate as often as we used to. It doesn't mean that the love has grown cold. Sometimes we are just trying to keep our heads above the water and the chaos. Personally, I have never really had a problem being in my own company, and I do love that I am comfortable being my every waking moment companion and that in itself might be a slight problem for me. My communication skills are progressively becoming worse and I do feel awful that I cannot be constantly on phone like the old days (definition of old days: four days back). I don't want to be caught up in the busy world and forget who truly matters.
Tonight when I close my eyes, I will have mind conversations with my people, and in my mind, we will laugh up a storm, and tell each other how much we miss us. I may not be able to finish my mind conversations because sleep will take over but I will have that Mona Lisa kind of smile tattooed on my lips.

I think about how gracious God is to us. I think about how He is enough if we let Him be, and I think about how He has been constant through the trials and the victory dances. Next week is hillsong conference, and boy-oh-boy I am ecstatic. I cannot wait for Friday to get here and pull out TGIF (rightfully so). My heart is wide open, I am so expectant, my voice is ready, I think am going to pack a leotard for the dance numbers...I must get it right people. So, I am looking forward to that and to sharing that experience with my friends. I know without a doubt, it's going to be the beginning of a whole new better chapter in my life...do you feel it for yourself too? No?yes?maybe? Well, I hope it's a YES.
Thanking GOD that He is always overwhelming (present continuous) my heart with HIS love.

Ps. Pray for Kenya, pray for Syria, we really could use a better world.



Good bye summer time...fare thee well

Post 1: Randomness overload

I am insanely obsessed with breakfast television programs. Live with Kelly and Michael is the kind of show that could easily Lift your mood from zero to five! Who loves The Wendy Williams show? Here's the thing I love about The Wendy show, Wendy is such a good gossip broadcaster. She tells these Hollywood stories with the right amount of  zest, everyone is leaning in like it's the most important news...and get this, this gossip isn't about you (which makes it even more exciting), this gossip does absolutely nothing for your life, matter of fact it does nothing for you except waste your one hour of life but she knows how to get one hooked! I like her that Wendy, I like her a lot! She's just so entertaining.

On another random note, this morning your home girl was in Brooklyn. Hmm...I know I shouldn't be saying this because Blue Ivy Carter lives in Brooklyn BUT I really am afraid of walking in Brooklyn by myself. I do blame the movies, the stories I've heard, and the daily news for the poor depiction. Anyway, while in BK town, I successfully hailed a taxi and as I got in, I handed the driver my destination address. Still feeling like Carrie Bradshaw, minus the exquisite wardrobe, the driver indifferently asked me to "GET OUT" of his taxi. Yeah, I was as confused and shocked as you are because he hadn't started the car. We were still in the same spot where he had stopped to pick me up!!! WHAT? That is no way to treat a lady! It's tough in these streets I tell you. I actually had a 'laugh out loud' moment in my head and I immediately left his car lest violence ensued. Other than that, Brooklyn isn't as bad as it's made out to be.

Post 2: My end of summer bloggables

On the finale of The Office, Andy Bernard said, “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.” *selah* 
Let's resolve to make everyday extraordinary so that we don't t have to be stuck in the past by trying to relive those moments. Create more of those good ol' days by simply being present in the now.
Summer is drawing to a close...booooo-  But am expectant for us all that the next season of our lives is going to be even better. God only has great plans for us, believe with me that our very best is yet to come.


I thought this would be a fun exercise for us to partake in;
September
* Buy something good for yourself. Why? Because you are worth it and you deserve it.
October
* Read a book. There's so much life in books, they temporarily give you a great escape from reality.
November
Birthday month...it's all about me...okay am kidding (maybe).
* Take a friend out for cocktails or a meal and handle the bill business. Remember this, it is better to give than to receive... 
December
* Cause happiness to occur to a stranger. Someone out there is waiting for something extraordinary to happen to them. There's no limit to what you can do, even a smile suffices. Let something good happen through you.

Feel free to let me know what books you'll read or what you find helpful or unhelpful with this "exercise".

Ps. I have made a few adjustments to the blog such as google translation so these posts can be translated into any language. I think that's mad cool.
