Coffee Day

After waking up, thanking God for waking me up, turning on the morning news but before taking a shower, working out and starting my day,…. I make myself a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy it.

However, today was a little different – after waking up, thanking God, turning on the TV to HLN and watching Robin Meade but before taking a shower, getting ready to start my day – I realized it’s COFFEE DAY. I already know it’s going to be a good day ;-)

Go get your free coffee today at a participating chain

 

Hi All-

July 13^th was the last time l blogged,… To be honest this blogging life takes serious dedication and commitment. However, l know it’s never too late to give it my best shot.

 However…..  I have been busy, over worked and recently ill. Busy cause of work, over-worked cause of the field l am in and recently ill because of the sudden change in weather.  Anyway, l once heard someone say speak what you want into your life – so I’m claiming my “good health” back J

October 1^st is around the corner and l would know because October 3^rd (bday) is almost here J This means the year is slowly coming to an end – dammmnnn everything, everyone seems to be moving so fast. Let’s all slow down this minute and listen to Oprah’s letter to her Younger Self – she’s exceptionally inspiring:

Have a great evening everyone.

My Monday ....

Mondays….

I never understand why people say,…. “Happy Monday”

I don’t think anyone wakes up on Sunday morning thinking to themselves – yes can’t wait for MONDAY!

Ahhhh,… do you? Cause l sure as hell DO NOT.

However, I do understand the need to Thank God for allowing us to see another week to make our dreams come through. So many people have not been fortunate enough to see this year talk less of this week. So instead of Happy Monday,… I say Thank God for another week.

Moving forward, this weekend was not relaxing AT ALL… My goodness, l feel more tired than l did on Friday. To top things of, cause l was so exhausted – l woke up late, had to rush like a maniac to work – but most importantly couldn’t work out this morning. I try and get in 30-45 minutes of cardio every morning as it keeps me alert throughout the day and of course in shape. Days like today… I’ll have to workout as soon as l get home, eat a nice healthy salad (probably from Trader Joe’s, love that grocery store),.. then sleep or finish reading my book “Americanah” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I would highly recommend the book – although I’m only half way done, l have already fallen in love with the characters and storyline. I can completely relate with the main character, Ifemelu. You won’t be disappointed trust me.

What are your goals this week? I believe in order to truly be successful at anything and make the most of your time; one should set goals for themselves. Do you have weekly, bi-weekly or monthly goals? I try to set goals for myself every week, and then Sunday I reflect on how productive I’ve been throughout the week. I also look for ways to improve and be better all around – personally and professionally.

Have a blessed Monday everyone xx

A to 99

I’m afraid of this world that l live in, people are so selfish these days.

Selfish - devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others

I’m afraid of waking up some mornings knowing that the worst has not yet happened but also living with the excitement that the best is yet to come.

It’s a feeling that parallels each other – it’s a feeling I can’t explain.

Sometimes, l look at how far l have come and can’t believe I’ve been through half the things I’ve been through. Then l think to myself, l can’t believe neither do l know how I’m functioning till date.

I severely believe that there is a higher power something beyond my full comprehension – someone called “God”

Life – some people say live it to the fullest, others say – it’s too short. That means no one truly knows how to comprehend this place we are stationed temporarily.

Sometimes, I want to sit in my place turn off every form of communication to the outside word and just dream… get lost in a reality so wild that once l regain my senses l can’t even phantom the possibility of what it all means and how l dreamt so far – how did l even get from point A to Number 99

Cause I’m human, l get exhausted in every way possible and l need a break, maybe a vacation –but then l know, l remember, l imagine (same imagination) that went from A to 99 has me imagining all the negative things that could happen if l were to just shut off and “”do me””

Hmmmm… lt’s funny cause growing up l never would have thought or would l have imagined a world were at the end of the day the only person that truly has your back and front is YOU!

Our New President

Another Friday,… Another Week is over… Another Day to be thankful. I have another chance to see today because God allowed it. So thankful.

Message from my wonderful mum this morning:

Happy democracy day to everyone. Pls FYI.
 

Every night we all fight a battle of life and death. Only the winners wake up to see the following day. Thank God, you are a winner today just like me. May the river of your life flow unhindered and in the right direction, may it never turn back as it sweeps away your affliction, tribulation and adversity. Divine providence will enrich and strengthen the river of your life. Heavens will rain abundance of wealth and riches on your coast and new things will begin to happen in your life. May divine blessings, the highest grace and everlasting joy be your portion in Jesus Mighty name. Amen. Good morning. Welcome to a new promising day.

God bless
Mommy.

Today Muhammadu Buhari is being sworn in as the President of Nigeria. I pray he uses the power Nigerian citizens have bestowed on him to make tomorrow a better and brighter one for the citizens of Nigeria.

Speaking to my mum last night, she told me how PHCN have not brought light for 3 weeks… No, wait they did – two days ago for 10 minutes. It’s sad that people that are not as fortunate to have a generator or diesel to put in the generator are subjected to bathing in the dark, dressing in the dark.. LIVING in the DARK. That’s it – so many Nigerians are LIVING in perpetual darkness that today they are so unfamiliar with the light, this darkness has caused so much chaos in their homes, offices and LIFE.

I ask anyone reading this message to say a quick prayer for my country. To pray to God to remove the darkness from so many homes in Nigeria that live within their hearts.

Love,

Pamela
