<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">Thank you for
your grace to me. You are a light, a song, a word, a force, a brave
being.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">Thank you for
gracing me with your friendship.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">Thank you for
accompanying me to school. I love leaving work at 4:45 PM
with you, you strong woman.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">I
always wondered how you did it, where you got the strength
to do all of this. You were always the first to ignore and cast all
our fears, ‘It’s nothing’, ‘I am Ok’, ‘My husband is there’. ‘I am
fine’. You taught me resilience and
strength. Thank you Girl.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">Thanks for
always making me smile…everyone actually, you always made us
smile. You were you and you taught me to be me.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">I
loved how you went about your life, being sunshine, and not being
apologetic.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">You were
fierce, a force, smart, intelligent and just an amazing being.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">When
I needed someone to listen to my usual babble on
relationships, you listened…sharing life stories with me, giving me
beautiful tips, encouraging me in my walk with God and being present. You
listened to me and reiterated the importance of never settling.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">Our
talk did not finish right…we were supposed to continue
as you promised in that T-Junction in
school…But you left…But I am thankful for secrets shared.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

remember my birthday…I remember the beautiful woman in black and orange who
serenaded me.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">Dear Martha, thank you for
loving your baby so fiercely. Thanks for letting me feel your
little you, will never forget that kick. I remember the sound of your
laughter when he moved.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">Sweetheart, thanks for
teaching me about being serious in life. Thanks for teaching me
sacrifice, love is a lot of responsibility and you did that
effortlessly.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">Your
friends miss you and it is never the same without you.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">It’s
hard that we won’t see you again for now. That was not the agreement.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">They
said tomorrow, you will be laid 6 feet under…and I don’t want to see
that.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">My
consolation- that you are having a ball in
heaven…that you live in all of our heart and your legacy speaks amazingly
well of you.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">Like you always
say-it is well, and I repeat that often when life tries to knock me down again.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;">I
think God gained a good one,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">And Martha….I
am sorry if you never knew half of what I’ve written here…I am so
sorry for words left unsaid.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;">I
am grateful for the gift of your friendship, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">You lived
well great girl</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;">You will
always be celebrated.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

clutches and the tears and heartbreak isn’t enough to reduce the pain.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Andalus","serif"; font-size: x-large;">But sad thing is…It is inevitable. Sad thing is we don’t know
when or how or the situation that might cause it…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;">She represents the young man on the street that got knocked down
on his way to somewhere. One hit and he’s lost forever. She represents the
woman who died due to a bomb blast in the north. She represents the father of 3
who lost all his kids in an air-crash or the rich multimillionaire who died
from a heart attack.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;">One thing is common, everyone dies, and with it, their dreams,
talents and maybe purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;">One profound statement a friend taught me is - the best ideas
are found in the grave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;">In light of this, I think of the popular phrase- Carpe Diem,
meaning seize the day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;">Right now, we are alive to make our dreams come true. We are
alive to inspire and innovate and do great things. We are alive to encourage
and be the best version of ourselves, to be somebody for this moment than a
nobody for a lifetime, to put some responsibilities to our abilities. So why
aren’t we seizing this day? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">I believe that everyone is born with a talent. The bible says
so- It says that some were given the gift of apostle, prophets, teachers, etc.
It doesn’t stop there, many</span><span style="background-color: white;"> people seated here have amazing gifts…Some are
writers, singers, motivators, techies, organizers etc<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Andalus","serif"; font-size: x-large;">So, why aren’t seizing this day to innovate, to make good use of
our gifts?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Maybe like Erma Bombeck, we should think: </span><span style="background-color: white;">“When I stand before
God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of
talent left, and could say, 'I used everything<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="il"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">you</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>gave
me.”<br />
Because Mr. Death, he’s such a meanie, and may not give us time to live our
best life now.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;">So right now, be inspired to do something with your life,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="il"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">you</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>are

mediocre life, live each day with gratitude. Be resilient. Have guts. Trust
yourself and God, and aspire to live life beyond now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;">So that one day, when death comes, and your life story ends,
people will laugh because<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="il"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">you</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>laughed, people will believe because<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="il"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">you</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>believed.

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The fact that you have technology, and can think?</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The fact that right now, at this moment, you have peace?</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Your family, friends? encouragements, or the critics?</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The dirty dishes in the sink, reminding you that there is food, the dirty cloths in the wash room and the fact that you can even wash, that you have clean water....or an unkempt bed space...the one the homeless man on my street wish he had?</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Good company? Education?</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Dirty cloths?</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Water?</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The different occupation in the world, you know, everyone playing their role to make the world a little better?</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Giving life or a shared smile?</span></li>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">It's Christmas in a few days time, and I am looking forward to spending time with my family, enjoy the gift of laughter with them, live in freedom and as described in folklores, eat rice, salad &chicken, but it's not going to be the same for some families, one of which is the families of the abducted little girls.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hello Everyone :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">How was your weekend? :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Spent mine reading an amazing book- <b>The giver</b>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3thPvNzM6zM86-q0v70uinTKSrY7XFe6xPDEjTdB2Zu8Kom5fjlx1V6P5YxqIamaG6QPfR_jDoC4qDK4Mbs16SQ1CR8up1s_5qGHQiqa9Y_UxiHkuPv0Y088V8Gieb3J9KHWaVWqAg0I/s1600/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3thPvNzM6zM86-q0v70uinTKSrY7XFe6xPDEjTdB2Zu8Kom5fjlx1V6P5YxqIamaG6QPfR_jDoC4qDK4Mbs16SQ1CR8up1s_5qGHQiqa9Y_UxiHkuPv0Y088V8Gieb3J9KHWaVWqAg0I/s1600/download.jpg" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's a beautiful work of art...and two questions that stuck with me as I finished it was: How far would I go for something I believe in? Would I take a stance of courage always or would I die to my fears and succumb to 'demons' everytime? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you were to answer honestly, what will be your response? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">'cos your demons, whatever form they take on, whether a news or a situation or a person, is evil and annoying (that's why they are called demons), and wrestling it or being courageous is never easy..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's #motivationalmonday in the social media world, and I thought I'd share this with you...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">....Tell God, Be courageous and face your demons...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Unkempt; line-height: 17.85pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
<span style="font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 17.85pt;">How are you?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: Unkempt; line-height: 17.85pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
<span style="font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 17.85pt; text-align: justify;">Feeling overwhelmed lately? Not feeling thankful?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Unkempt; line-height: 17.85pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large;">I know, I do too...sometimes... especially with all that's going on in the world.... Terrorism (The innocent Chibok girls haven't been brought back, another bombing in Borno state, ISIS in Syria), Ebola in Liberia, the Ferguson case, friends who died this year, and some ugly-heartbreaking stories we hear each day...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Andalus, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Andalus, serif;">A lot to be sad about (</span><span style="line-height: 17.85pt;">Sometimes, I feel like between me and God, there are a 100 questions to be asked and I need answers)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 17.85pt;"><br /></span>
One thing that helps though is staying grateful for now....this moment....and finding beauty even in thorns.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
I remember this convo with Opeyemi:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ope : One thing I will like to do when I make a lot of money is glorify God through plants</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
Me: Why?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
Ope: Look.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
and he pointed towards a breath-taking sight- Yellow flowers blooming in the midst of thick brown bush. You have to look really hard, if not you will miss it. It was beautiful.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
and then Ope said, 'I saw one like that in Togo...Red flowers blooming in a desert land. It was the only flower there, and I thought, maybe that's Gods way of saying in the midst of empty or lack or ugly, beautiful things can grow. That's hope'.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Andalus, serif; line-height: 17.85pt;">Quoting my nerdy little sister, ‘...</span></span><span style="font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 17.85pt;">rather than be depressed about the crazy world conditions, take your worries to God and help the world anyway you can....</span><span style="font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 17.85pt;">rather than whine about all the things you don’t have, why don’t you be grateful for all you have...'</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Learnt something interesting from a rooster.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This Rooster. The big white rooster was all feathery.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I actually thought it was a dog (Yes, I need to wear my glasses often). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">White feathers graced its body.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Made me think, 'are we like that sometimes?'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">All feathers, puff puff. Show off. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Is that how am I?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Show off...Filled outside, but empty on the inside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">I don't want to be like that...ALL FEATHERS.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">I want <u>my/ your</u> values & worth to be from what's on <u>my/ your</u> inside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">I want inner beauty, one that fills a room and whose presence, everyone want, not outwardly appearances whose value diminish with time, with age, and external influences....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">So, again, I ask.....are we all feathers on the outside, and little meat on the inside?</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hello :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Wrote this a while back and thought I'd share (Hope it makes some sense. Ha!)....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><u>Paradise now:</u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">My paradise is made up of trees of people, consisting of roots and roots of generation, after generations, alive and dead, entwined and holding me, so I don't fall off.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">My paradise breathes out fragrance of love, love from family and friends, whose sweet aroma never seems to lift off my cloths and entice my heart.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">My paradise has birds singing words of encouragement , apples of gold in silver carvings, words spoken at the right time, through joy and tears.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My paradise is wet with </span>dew<span style="font-family: inherit;">. Dew of grace and spirit, helping me grow when I feel short.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">The animals in my paradise pushes me...They graze on me, removing the sharp edges, sand papering me to smoothness. They put me through pain and I see me bloom..bloom into a flower.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Right now, I see my paradise now...I enjoy paradise now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Even with the sun, moon and twinkling star beautifying my paradise world...and God's letters pointing me the way to go...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Even with the hail and news rocking my world, like the death of 6 family bowing Grandpa down, I see the growth of new grasses and unique flowers, sprout in unusual places...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">I see hope shine, like rainbows in the sky, reminding me in paradise world, to hold onto silver rope.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Even with the caves that protects me and oceans cooling paradise world, I love that I don't have to wait till forever to enjoy paradise...'cos with its imperfections, peppered with cobwebs and anthills...I enjoy paradise, right now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">-</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">The end.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Maybe we can enjoy our piece of heaven on earth right now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Maybe we need to start seeing the good.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Maybe.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">One day I will be no more,</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Sad...Really Sad...but it's true.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">One day, that inevitable reality will catch up with me...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and give me no chance to do all I want to do...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I wish it will..I wish it'd give me one second to say I love you, or see that face or wipe that tear or feel missed...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But Mr. Death, mean as He comes, I don't know....</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">All I know is ...Now..right Now...I am alive...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am alive to say I love you, and see that face, and wipe that tear, and miss in return.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am alive to say kind words, and walk the talk, and be a rainbow.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am alive to feel new love, and heal broken hearts, and say thank you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am alive to play, stand in the sun and dance in the rain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am alive to think again, and create again, and breathe again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am alive to make someone live because I am living</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am alive to create memories, one that summarizes my legacy,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So when death comes and life's story ends..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">People will laugh 'cos I laughed, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">People will believe 'cos I believed, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">People will live 'cos I lived...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">lived life to the fullest.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">.........................................................................</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Reflection: How do you want to remembered? What kind of legacy do you want to leave?</span><br />

<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Feel like it's been forever since I've blogged, and I'm so sorry. Life happened and I kind of let it carry me wherever it went. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Anyway, I hope to keep writing...Hopefully...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">One of my new worries (Don't we all have that sometimes) is finding myself. A lot of us use that phrase,'Find yourself', and while I agree that finding yourself or being yourself will help you make good & wise decisions in life, still, the question of how to find oneself crops up.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you were to define you, what would say?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you were to define your values, what will they be?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Had a conversation with my dearest friend JP on that....</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Me: I need to find myself. I feel like I am a 'human shifter' who picks up various characteristics from different people. I feel like I wear a mask for different occasions and for different people. (Deep sigh)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">JP: Truth is more than 50% of our values/characteristics are from the environment. Our environment influences us. But then, as you grow older, you chose what works for you. However, in finding yourself, always shift to the best part of life, and enjoy the world while you can. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, but learn from them quickly. The best plans are those lost in the grave. Do what makes you happy. When you are at a crossroad, count your blessings and look for those that represent a rock in your life and get feedback. Liberate yourself and have an energy drink :D</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Don't mean to sound cliched, but maybe we need that reminder sometimes...maybe we should be encouraged not to beat ourselves as we journey through the road of self discovery and enjoy life, trusting that somehow we would know....</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I wish I have the classic definition of who am I, like I can give you a bullet point of everything I am, but one thing I am sure of is I am Gods girl, and that defines me...I love, I am happy, I am imperfect and I will keep growing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />I love how it was said in this movie- Mom's night out (go check it out), 'I am a mess, but I am a beautiful mess, I am His masterpiece, and that's enough...'</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />We are enough and we have purpose...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />Your thought? Do you have your #life figured? #Whoareyou?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />So remember that time I told you about the amazing opportunity I had to give a ted talk in this post <a href="http://holathoughts.blogspot.com/2014/04/dear-akure.html" target="_blank">Dear Akure</a>.</span><br />

We will continue with more Maya Angelou’s Classic tomorrow. Hope you are ready Yemi’. ‘Yes Ma’am’ Yemi replied. The school bell rang indicating the start of the class break. ‘See you tomorrow’ she screamed amidst scurrying students while packing up.</span><br style="line-height: 42.04204177856445px;" /><br style="line-height: 42.04204177856445px;" /><span style="line-height: 42.04204177856445px;">Nana stayed behind. Reading the book she has come to love, the book that soothes her when she feels the mask coming on. She was lost in its knowledge. Sounds of ‘Nana, Nana!!’ jolted her back to reality. ‘Nana, what is the problem?’ Mrs Lambou asked. And don’t tell me “you are ok”. I can sense the sadness amidst your smile’ she said, as she tried to balance her wide-rimmed spectacle on her nose and stare at one of her best students. Nana smiled sadly, ‘I feel lost. I feel strange and can’t seem to shake off this sadness. It’s like I have to don this personality when I’m with anyone; Smile, talk and feel good even when I don’t feel like. I think I’m strange and it’s wearing me out’. She continued, ‘I can relate to the bird in Maya’s poem, I long for freedom from this mask’.</span><br style="line-height: 42.04204177856445px;" /><span style="line-height: 42.04204177856445px;">Mrs. Lambou looked lovingly at this 16 years old orphan that came into the ‘Colourful World School of Poetry’ 5 years ago. She showed great skill at poetry and was her favourite student. ‘Nana’ Mrs Lambou said. ‘It’s good to be strange or queer or different. You children say I am strange. So, you are in good company’. She smiled. ‘Sometimes, we all need that alone time. What matters is coming out of it a better person. You don’t need a mask to be loved. Grow into the real you and love who you are. Everyone will too! Most importantly, never underestimate God in your life’.</span><br style="line-height: 42.04204177856445px;" /><span style="line-height: 42.04204177856445px;">‘Thank you Ma’. Nana said, hugging her teacher as she did so. ‘I’ve got to run, see you tomorrow!’ Mrs. Lambou said.</span><br style="line-height: 42.04204177856445px;" /><span style="line-height: 42.04204177856445px;">Nana continued with the book, reading silently ‘...It's in the click of my heels, the bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, the need of my care. Cause I'm a woman phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that's me...’</span></span></span><br />
