From this day .....

From this day forward, I am getting rid of all toxic relationships; be it friends, family, relatives, acquaintances or colleagues. I can no longer entertain people or situations that do not push me towards being a better person. I'm deciding to surround myself only with people that bring out the best in me. Negative energy will have no room on my path.

From this day forward, I realize that I have some memories to make. I have some dreams to fulfill. These dreams may seem senseless and somewhat crazy to some, but they are my dreams. I'll stop at nothing and for no one to see that they are accomplished. In short, the rest of my life, will now be the best of my life.

From this day forward, for the first time in a long time, I am going to stop putting everybody else's feelings and priorities ahead of my own. I am determined to wake up with peace in my spirit, and love and happiness in my heart. I'm aware that my cup runneth over; it overflows! What i choose to do with the overflow is up to me but whatever is inside the cup is mine.

From this day forward, I realize that I'm on a complicated self-discovery journey and unfortunately everyone can't go with me on this journey. I'll have some who will encourage me to keep walking, some will walk with me through it all while some will watch from a distance and hope I don't progress. But will i have control over this? No. I will keep my head high, take a step at a time, maybe stall at some point but will in no stage give up.

On this day, at least I have started my transformation process. And I am in no hurry to figure out who I need or what I need because I am now living and figuring things out at my own pace; not rushed by the society, not rushed by my surroundings. I'm also aware that these plans can only come to pass when I involve a Higher Power. Jesus is my higher power!

From this day....

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 ...

'For My Beautiful Teenage Girl' ~ A story of when my teenage hormones were off the charts.

As I read through this exceptionally written book by Rawder Kidula & Florah Kidula, I couldn't help but silently laugh at one vivid memory still etched in my mind of a time in my teenage hood when I thought the world, with no shred of doubt, revolved around me. Had I had such a book, my approach to life then would probably have been different, who knows? Now, having visitors was the norm while living at Hanne Howard Fund Lenana compound (aka The Project). Some volunteers would come to either teach us art, dance, boxing, taekwondo, others would come teach us how to express ourselves in English and the ones we'd mostly look forward to were those donors, local and/or international, who'd come with clothes and food. This particular week while we were all home for the August holidays there was a donor, beautiful Miss Sonia, who'd booked to spend her week at the project. She would portion her day in a way that ensured she spends time with all groups of kids, starting with...

MY VALENTINE

My darling husband 💖, You were worth the wait! Remember when we were just friends, the first time I told you that I have a personal blog; a haven I occasionally dump my stories & thoughts?...to which you carefully listened then asked: “Will you one day write about me on your blog?”  I laughed!! I laughed so hard then told you how for you to feature in my writing you’d have to be out-of-this-world special to me ... to which you thoughtfully responded: “Mercy, never say never!” ….. and then went on a mission to overturn my entire life!! You clever, genius hunk of a man! 😉😉 I’m here today to categorically say that a blogpost is the least of what you, my elusive leading man, deserve! The universe kept saying “The right person will show up, find a path into your heart and know how to hold your love with all the delicateness it deserves, choose you just as deeply as they choose themselves and as you choose them, reciprocate your vibe, match your energy and never make you feel lik...
