Beautiful November

Wondering at my title?It's my birth month,I mean what could be more beautiful than that?.My God,I had a swell day on Saturday.I felt on top of this planet,I was more than thrilled,fun all the way.I realized the number of people who cared for me.OMG...it feels so good to know how many people care about you.Indeed I felt loved and believe me I remain eternally grateful to God Almighty.Celebrating my birthday gave me to opportunity to really think on the years I have spent here on earth and also make plans for brighter years ahead.

You see,growing old is mandatory but growing up?it is definitely optional.We all choose our paths and define the steps to take to walk on those paths.We ultimately choose our image.It more than ever dawned on me that life is about decisions.Decisions on whose image we choose to represent.Almost every human belie in something,good or evil.Honestly,our beliefs shape our lives.You are either representing good or evil but I keep wondering why anyone at all will choose to wear the image of evil and represent it well enough to celebrate its results.

Why do we heat,selfishness or easy way out?why do we lie,selfishness or society's approval?why do we use swear words,way of expression?why are humans consistently on the wrong side of life and more than anything try to become excellent at justifying wrong doings?The world itself is a hive of mystery,however our ever probing mind is given to understand certain things and discover the truth about existence.We all know there is a greater power somewhere and most of us believe in that power.The challenge is in obeying this greater power and following all his tenets.I totally agree it could be really difficult trying to follow all those tenets but I have consistently discovered that only these tenets are the pointers to life everlasting.


One thing,November has helped me to even discover more than anything else,how beautiful life can be when we totally say yes to this greater power and sheepishly follow all his tenets.Oh that I may know you even deeper...Lord Jesus...Maranatha.

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...

The Career Woman

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's  working-age women  were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts. And even the females who were in work were struggling to catch up with the men. Women with  full-time jobs  still earn only about 77% of their male counterparts' earnings. Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding  unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
