Can you sniff 2017? I know I can. Once I begin inhaling the fragrance of Christmas, the year’s end is often the next thought. Last night I was at a vigil when the mother called in tears. I could barely make out what she was saying but I quickly figured it was news of another …
I know who I am
For the past couple of weeks, I have been waking up with different songs in my head,constantly; anything from the 90's to an old hymn. I usually find myself singing or humming for the rest of the day and when my brain is really in overdrive, I question the lyrics word for word. *Do not …
You win some. You lose some
During the month of World Cup, there was no avoiding it. Whether you were a fan or hater, it followed you in one way or another. The fans have probably recovered by now while those who couldn't wait for it to end are thinking “What was the fuss anyway?” Football has a way of revealing …
The baby is 2 :)
Time check: 10.55pm. It was on this night two years ago that I made an independent decision to have my first child. I didn't give it much thought then. It was one of those impulsive things that felt right. I didn't think to plan.When the idea crept into my mind,I thought "Why not? I am …

The Pressure!
I went for a job interview once. Years later, I happened to get access to the evaluation form that had been used as I spoke. I had scored highly on confidence. I laughed so hard! How was that even possible?! I had been a total nervous wreck. All my clothes looked like rugs, my vocabulary …
Giant Killer*
“You've got to understand the anointing.” This simple phrase is from one of my favourite gospel songs at the moment, ‘Giant Killer’ by Pompi. If you haven’t listened to it, slap yourself then run and find it ASAP. I have listened to it over and over again, sometimes numerous times in a single day. The …
Life-Precious (Part II)
If you do not remember or did not read what part I was about, it was basically a summary of events that occured a fortnight ago as I battled ill health. I left out a few of the other parts so it would not be so crowded. The day I git admitted, a gentleman who …
Life-Precious (Part 1)
At exactly this time last week I was doing what seemed like fighting for my life. It is for this reason that I have since put myself on pressure to get busy and be completely occupied at all hours for fear that still moments shall create an avenue for an episode.. How? I had been …
Life has to end, love doesn’t
I have been unable to write for a while now, not for lack of time or words but mostly because many events that have unfolded have turned out to be more than I can take. Everything begins with a step so here I am trying to get my 'groove' back. Last week a couple of …
