In the process of my wide reading, I came across an article that I felt was helpful to any social being. “ Betrayal, Trust, and Forgiveness: A guide to emotional healing and Self-renewal.”  I read the introductory story and I could not believe my eyes this was the story of my friend. I vividly remembered the story and could relate it to the story of Karen and Joe in the article.  Doreen and Mathew were good friends for such a long time during our college life. After university, they decided to open a company together and they were doing just great. One day they decided to take a business trip and while at a beach hotel one evening, Mathew confessed his love for Doreen. Deep within her, Doreen had the feeling that Mathew was seeing another woman and she felt she knew who it was. Mathew denied it and told Doreen that there was no one else in the picture and did not even have a girlfriend.  After so much pressure from Mathew, Doreen gave in despite the fact that ...

  Dear  Hun, It’s slightly above a quarter century and still waiting patiently for the day you will be mine. You already have had a special place in my heart.  You will be the first related man to know and love in my life and to live under the same roof.  I may not know how people live with their brothers or fathers but all I can say is that I am looking forward and ready for the eventuality. I overhear it aint smooth either. At least I have had male figures in my life so it’s not going to be that bad. From a distance I stare at the sky ( You see the picture up there? That's me thinking about you 😀  and know that I already love you leave alone miss you. I know our Kid(s) will have the best father under the sun; one who will be there to teach them how to ride a bike ... to mention but a few. I already envy them! There are things I got to warn you about though; I am an extrovert but an introvert in thought. I also got a dominant sanguine charact...

Dear You , Let’s just say you are my hero so far. Not because you have done ‘out of this world things’ but just because you have kept focus on the race despite having done some of the dumbest things under the sun. You have been real but also made so many mistakes along the way. We all assumed the road would be straight but to your surprise it turned out to be the opposite. But you still walked anytime you did not have the strength to run. All the same none of us can change the past but we can create a new beginning anytime we want to! I have come to believe that being foolish is part of this life.  You cannot be too serious about life all the time. Either way no one has ever made it out alive! So don’t beat yourself too hard. Nevertheless, if I met you a few years ago I would tell you not to let fear be a stumbling block to experiencing new things . Fear is universal and we all experience it. However, how we deal with fear determines how far we go.  Try new thin...

Its 10 days past New Year and I wonder how well you are coping with your new year’s resolutions? Or are they goals? Does it really matter what we call them? To some extend yes! I hate making resolutions but this year I did. I am a believer whether goals or resolutions they have to be SMART:   Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. After 5 years of no resolutions, I made my 2014 resolutions … Yes a whooping damn 14 resolutions. So what is the difference this time round? Nothing much; I just made a resolution to make resolutions. Why do I have a problem with Resolutions? Resolutions are made at the spark of some fireworks. No time is taken to think and rethink about what we are promising to give ourselves into. Now this time round mine were made in the woods no fireworks! Now once your resolutions are SMART we are all in the same level whether a resolution or a goal it will no longer matter. Now this is the truth; if your resolution does not involve ...
