Use Your Relationships

I had a discourse with a colleague some few days ago and in the course of our discourse was brought to the realization that our last post here had a tinge of masculinity in it. I was alarmed! The beauty of that conversation was while I did not see some of those points initially, that relationship helped me see a part that was oblivious to me. 

The Extra

Still in the wind of the New Year and working the lines of 2015, it occurred to me that we just had another year added to our previous count. Yes, 'addition’; ‘additional'; 'greater than usual' all of these qualifiers are just about 'EXTRA'. Whether drawn from the Medieval Latin origin where it was seen as meaning 'outside' or 'beyond' or within the English, French and German 17th Century adaptation from extraordinary - 'THE EXTRA' is just what it is - 'EXTRA'!

This Early?

Three days into the year and I am at a crossroad for my actions and inaction. I am so at a loss over how I can last the year if one is already falling so soon. This is not some hypothetical story, it's fluid and it's running. So what do you think is my problem?

FirePower

Okay, we are finally in the new year - Indeed 2015 is here. Now let's look at some peculiar issues - Every new year brings about changes, not changes in itself, but those we have devised as fundamental and we look to the new year as a basis or platform to begin delivering on these scores.

Curtain falls on 2014

My Dear Friends 
In the next couple of hours 
We will close the doors to this year and embrace 2015. 
We have seen so much joys on these paths and shared some challenging moments
Yet stay in the glare of God's Love and know 
He's got you covered. 

See you in 2015

It's not you

At times
We are the ones stalling
We hear ourselves
Our fears wear cloaks
And we hang on to them like our shadows

Oil for the road

As a kid reading the Biblical Parable of the wise and foolish virgins, I always wondered why the preparation for the night watch separated the group into foolish and wise. They were all virgins after all. So what made the difference? How much oil they carried - Yes Oil for the night, fuel for the journey, content for the mind, character for the struggle.

I am Gold

Preferences are the choices we all make. I prefer a blue top to any other colour and if I must make a choice, blue will win again and again. That is my preference, it's my choice; love it or hate it. Ever found yourself using similiar lines?

Changing Lanes

Switching gears has always been an act. The engineering behind it is awesome and the goal is to make the change seamless but effective. Indeed, tact in life is also defined by one's ability to actuate changes with minimal issues.

Lulu and Smiles

If you have ever been in pains or sorrow, the value placed on smiles will make more sense to you than anything else. That is because what we get when we see the other side of any situation is the wonders and beauty of that which is so effortlessly given.
