Happy New Year!

It's the beginning of a brand new year, the beginning of a life somewhere, start of a marriage elsewhere, but in your existence, it's a continuation of your life. A life that you so much deserve and in dire need to improve. The year just gives you another brand opportunity to keep being you, keep advancing, keep achieving and keep moving ahead, one step at a time.

This chance, to see another dawn, not all have had it. You are one lucky son/daughter of man! All parts of you are intact. Your breath being the most important factor - be grateful! With the arrival of this much awaited year comes opportunities around you, around me. Some hidden, some clear and very conspicuous. Seize them! Be the eagle with the sharpest eyesight, be the gazelle with the fastest move, be the employee with impeccable performance, be the student with good grades. Amaze the audience, amaze yourself, go beyond, look further, have that fire in your belly!

Decide that you no longer do ordinary, you do extraordinary. Decide that you no longer postpone, you act. Decide that you no longer waste yourself, you mould yourself. Decide that you no longer drink from wells that don't quench your thirst, move to better areas. Decide that you no longer need 'mass' approval, you know what's in you. Decide that you no longer sweat over networks, friendships and  relationships that draw you backwards, seek powerful connections. Decide and do!

Cheers to a new year! To a new you? Not really, perhaps to a more experienced you! Go forth and make 2016 happen!

ROOFTOP

After exactly 3 months and 11 days, today I went back up the stairs to the rooftop of the apartment we stay at. Trembling and shaking, I kept taking a step after the next hoping to get to the top. Several times I kept thinking, …why go? …but kept at it regardless. On this rooftop, I had set a very calm meeting place with my Father. For about 3 months leading to the delivery of my darling baby girl, I'd come up here, do some simple workouts but most importantly have a daily tete-a-tete with Him. I couldn't and still can't wrap my head around the fatigue that comes with the 3rd trimester and rightly so, many times I contemplated not going up there. What made me keep up with the routine was the fact that I knew He was waiting for me and was eager to talk about how far and smooth my pregnancy journey was.   We'd talk about my hopes, dreams and plans for baby in my tummy. We'd discuss my maternity leave plans and among other things mostly just sit in the silence of dawn ...

Motivation 2

With this topic, you know the norm right? I share some quotes I've come across that make some sense to me, well, because not all do. Picture quotes are more interesting to look at and so they'll take most space in this particular post. I will be overjoyed is you left a comment, maybe share one quote that keeps you going? Enjoy!  “It's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me." ~Warsan Shire. “Don't assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don't say anything you can't stand behind fully. Have integrity. Tell people how you feel.” ~ Warsan Shire. “Perhaps, the problem is not the intensity of your love, but the quality of the people you are loving.”~ Warsan Shire.

The world didn't quite prepare me for the experience that came with this phase of my life. I boast occasionally of how easy it has been for me to grasp and adapt to changes in my life but this one, naah ...I had to readjust, relearn and extensively educate myself. What I'm I talking about, you ask? Motherhood. I am writing this while on my 3rd trimester; 35 weeks & 6 days to be precise. The once subtle baby kicks are now more defined you'd think the baby's made my womb a mixed martial art ring. It feels heavenly every time it happens and I am not joking when I say that I live for them kicks...I could be having a really crappy day but anytime I sit and the kicks intensify, my mood instantly changes!  The reason I started by saying that the world didn't quite prepare me for the journey is because with my many years of schooling and seeking knowledge, I realized that I didn't know much about pregnancy. I was never taught about what to expect in any of the trime...
