Poem: Reflection Afloat.

Hi everyone! How did your week go? It's real good to be back. She was contemplating what write-up to put up. As she already had something else prepared. But this poem came along, and she decided to post it. She hopes as you read it, it would make sense to you. Hope it has some meaning for you. As you go about the weekend, have a blast!

Reflection Afloat.
I happen to see a dead man afloat the river.
The dead man had a reflection of me. Me? Yes me!
A side of me I always knew about,
seemingly come to terms with but refuse to do anything about.
It had become a part of me.
A part, though I detest of, I cleave to so readily.

Cleave to because it provides me the satisfaction of staying within my comfort zone.
Hmm! I begin to wonder...
Why my body must stand in the way of my soul's progress.
The fight between my body and soul is so unique,
The laws of copyright can't withhold it's originality.
Yet it is with much joy that I watch my obstacles and hindrances afloat like a dead man with no life, after drowning.

Thus my reflection indicates the dead man afloat is ME!

That's it people. Enjoy the weekend! Merci.

Mothers- A Blessing!

It's been a month. What's the verdict? As we all know it's mother's Day in Canada, as well as a number of other countries in the world- most especially in North America. You are probably already aware that it varies around the world, i.e; the dates we celebrate Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all our loving mothers, including expectant mothers. As they say, 'it's a day to honor mothers and motherhood'. So below is a little piece for the Virtuous woman I call my Mother. Notwithstanding, it speaks to all mothers who have worked hard, prayed and encouraged us through our journey in this world.

My Esteemed Jewel.
I am the bone of her bone, the one by which I was birth forth.

The one that Christ gave the strength and grace to train me in the "way of the Lord".

In her womb I was conceived, In her womb I was sheltered for 9 months .

I am not with her 24/7, 365days/yr, but through her instinct[s] she knows when am down.

Her discerning spirit- I thank God for.

Her loyalty and dedication makes the difference,

Helps her set her priorities right.

Her service to God, builds my faith in Him.

His grace made sufficient for her; Makes me withstand the days of trials.

Indeed you are a Blessing. You are my Esteemed Jewel- Mum!

Merci! Do have a fabulous week! She is excited. With God's grace we are back to blogging frequently.

His The Reason 4 D Season- Easter!

For we the believers and we the unbelievers, for those of us who are on the road to redemption and for those who are about taking the path to redemption, we say Happy Easter! It's great to know someone died for us on the Cross of Calvary for the atonement of our sins and for the redemption of our souls. How great His faithfulness. We hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Oh yes! Not that we forgot but we were suppose to change the layout of the blog. However, in trying to change the layout, sometimes we encountered difficulties.

There were times it was hard changing because we are so use to this layout, no layout seemed good enough. You know when you have something you have gotten use to, it sometimes is hard to let go or allow change. Also even though no post was written on the blog during the break, mentally she was always writing posts,or once in a while would scribble something on paper. Didn't realize she was attached to this blog. Readers like SD, Ladyguide have in their own way [unconsciously] encouraged the continuiation of this wonderful blog.

A blog aimed @ making a difference, positive difference, in our reader's lives. Happy Easter to all you wonderful people out there. Have a splendid week ahead! It's good to be back!!!

A Reminder- Message...

This had to be posted even though we are going through some form of transition, break if you will. But this message has been on hold for awhile. And so many things have been happening that confirms that this message has to be delivered. Women, you are precious jewels. You have value more than you can imagine. Your value is priceless: [U-VIP]! We have heard, seen, and we even know women, ladies, who have been abused one way or the other; physically, emotionally, sexually...name it. It's unbelievable. Sometimes it doesn't 'reach home' till we know someone experiencing such intolerable agony. You as an individual might have gone through, or might be going through such an experience. You don't have to go through it alone. There are people out there willing to help. Talk to someone if the need be. No one deserves to go through such an experience.

Abuse, any type of abuse affects one's esteem, one's views on life and one's relationships- your relations with other people. Whether consciously or unconsciously...the bitter truth is it does! Let's come together and help those who need our help. With this technology age, information and resources are not far from us. As individuals lets come together to make a collective effort. Would expatiate on the issue of abuse on another post. This post is just to let you know that we should give support to those who need it. And for those going through abuse, you don't have to...sometimes the expected thing is to withdraw, even from your loved ones...BUT! That does not help, it doesn't help with the process or stages of healing. As you go in the new week, here is a song for you, click here.
Merci!

Restructuring.

Apologizes for the on and off periods. We are working on some form of re-structuring for the blog and hope to come back more consistent, and better. Thanks for staying with us. Do have a lovely time! And if you have any comments, that would definitely help improve the blog and any advice on how to increase traffic to the blog would be appreciated. Thank you once again for your time. Would be back!

Adios.

It's A New Year

Happy New Year to you all. It's a new year, and we all hope for a new beginning, and the strength to see through. Don't give up on those dreams yet! The fact that you are alive means there is a purpose for which you are living. That purpose needs to be fulfilled. 2008 was a successful year for some, for others it was a trying time. The world definitely had it's own share of problems, but we thank God for seeing us through. He has never failed! 2009 is going to be glorious! Faith is an important part of our lives. Let's all strive to work harder, to give our best and to stay focused on the goal...the prize. Strive to be a better person. to maintain healthy relationships, and accomplish your dreams, fulfill hopes, and achieve aspirations. It's a good year. You BELIEVE, work HARD, pray FERVENTLY...because to YOU , you owe this ATTAINMENT!!! It's a GREAT year.
YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF NOT TO BE A WIMP*!!!

It's been a while...

Thought about you some few days ago, felt as if she offended you by not writing...Listening to "Ekundayo" by TY Bello, and became motivated to write. It is true not having as much readers could sometimes make a blogger think twice. Thinking, without readers, there's no use for the blog. However, still appreciative of those who take the time to come around and hope to God it makes a difference. Thought about writing about relationships, marriage and even ask questions and talk about ladies who keep going back to abusive relationships. But it doesn't feel right as of yet. Believe everything in life happens in good timing. Not blogging when you feel you are suppose to, or not blogging at the usual time (you blog), creates a feeling in you...as if you let someone down, or like committing an offense. Although it's different this time because you are fully aware of this act, but one doesn't 'retrace' one's steps.

So was writing a paper this week about multiculturalism for one of her Sociology classes and came across a quote by Malcolm X, which seems pretty interesting. Using a cup of coffee to explain the concept of multiculturalism and its significance. Pretty neat eh? Below is the quote by someone we all remember (controversial...you may say)! Writing this now reminds one of Spike Lee's 'Malcolm X'(s') film. Anyhuu...leaving you with the quote for this week:
"It's just like when you've got some coffee that's too black, which means it's too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you wouldn't even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep."
Moral: Do everything in moderation.
Have a blast in this coming week. Ciao!
