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!
