EVER WONDERING MINDS (man meets God)

  " Remember, life is not solely about reaching the mountaintop; it is also about finding God's presence in the valleys. " Life is a beautiful journey filled with twists and turns, highs and lows that shape our experiences and mold us into who we are. As we navigate through this intricate tapestry of existence, it is essential to keep our focus centered on God, drawing strength and guidance from His divine presence.  In this empowering blog post, we will explore the art of embracing life's highs and lows, all the while nurturing our spiritual connection with the divine. Finding meaning in both the peaks and valleys of life is a profound endeavor. During times of success and achievement, it is easy to feel invincible, basking in the glory of our accomplishments. But we must remember to stay humble and acknowledge that these triumphs are not solely the result of our efforts. It is the grace of God that propels us forward, granting us the skills, opportunities, and b...

“ Love your color, Love your heritage for out of you is valor birthed and the strength of generations undiscovered, discovered... ”   African women are women who were born in, who are born of parent(s), who live in, and are from the continent of Africa. The culture evolution and history of African women is related to the evolution and history of the African continent itself. In describing an African woman most people believe that she must be a deeply dark skinned, full figured voluptuous woman, hardworking and full of respect both for the old and the young. But the Africana woman is not one who is merely described by her outward appearance, she is worth more than a skin tone or a hair texture or even the outfit she wears. She is worth more than the cowries on her neck and the “jigida” beads, on her waist. She is a woman of great strength, profound wisdom and “Humble Pride” a humble pride because humility is her nature and pride because she hails from the great continent of Afri...

    In 2021 I saw quite a number of funny memes implying “we are not sure we want to accept the New Year, because we don’t want to be shocked like the previous year(s)”.LoL Its true 2020 came with a shocker and 2021… Oh My Goodness… it was a rollercoaster of unexpected emotions. It was a big year for some and for others it was their lowest.  However, we move. A lesson I’ve learnt so far, is that happiness is a choice. No one can give you the kind of happiness you deserve. Think about it, when you think you have gotten to the point where you are your happiest, something from nowhere interrupts it and you’re down, you struggle to get back to that point or even past it and boom!!! it happens again… People will encourage you and cry with you but that’s all they can do. They cannot change your deep rooted feelings; it is something that is totally up to you. I don’t know how the previous year(s) has been for you, but if no one told has told you how proud they are of how you ...

It’s no longer beginning to feel like Christmas. It is Christmas!!! In the spirit of Christmas I just want to drop a soft reminder; there’re many celebrating in smiles, others in tears and some others in a mixed feeling. To those celebrating in strength, remember many are fighting battles we know nothing about in this season; some are celebrating a first/ another Christmas without a loved one, some are far away from family for reasons beyond them, some have food and some have none, some are celebrating a first Christmas truly happy after a long time of unhappiness and some are just thankful. Whichever category you belong, the littlest we all can be is kind.  Be the best you can be to someone out there, spread love, spread positivity and genuinely laugh with many. Laugh so hard that your laughter becomes contagious, smile so much that many sad faces are forced to smile. Put on your best attitude, step out in style, chill like a big G (irrespective of your situation you're a ...

 After my previous article, quite a number of people shared their experiences and how much they could relate with the feeling of exhaustion.  Someone said to me; “I have almost everything I need as at now, but there are many days it feels like I have nothing.  At times I wonder if I have a health challenge, or when/if I will get married, if I’m going make it through my next promotion, or if my business is even going to stand the test of time. ‘sighs deeply’ I’m not trying to sound pessimistic but these thoughts just pop up.” Are you like this person, have you asked yourself questions you can’t find answers to? Have you wondered if you’re losing your mind? Well, I need you to know that it’s humanly OK to sometimes wonder and ask yourself silent questions that leave you exhausted. Sometimes the slightest triggers   like having a baby, raising children, high pressure jobs, working at a job you hate, financial stress, poverty, wondering if you made the “right” c...

Have you ever been in a state where you feel exhausted even when you have not exerted yourself physically? Well, I bet we all have been there many times in our lives. Those days when you wake up fatigued even after sleeping many hours through the night.   There are several reasons why you could feel this way, but studies have shown that in very many cases, this feeling is as a result of mental exhaustion. Mental exhaustion could be as a result of over-working your mind on a particular issue thus exhausting all the options your mind can fathom. It could even result from the seeming impossibilities of bringing the many thoughts in your mind to reality. During my hiatus from writing, I met quite a number of people that were in this category and I got the opportunity to converse with them. A summary of our conversation often went in this line; Me: "Hey what's up, how are you? Them: Hmmm, i'm tired. Me: Awwn sorry, get some rest. Them: Mtshwww, even after resting ...
