I sometimes take a taxi to get into work in the City. The other morning, I was riding in one and chatting with my driver when somewhere near Moorgate I witnessed a close car accident. The man had stepped into the street right in front of the car ahead of us which caused everyone else to slam on their brakes. It was a bright morning and this event happened very quickly; he pulled back suddenly and the traffic flow continued as normal. This triggered a memory on my side. I had been in a car accident in Abuja that knocked me into a coma. I obviously survived as I’m able to write these words at the moment but it was a deep experience for my friends and family. Waking up in the Intensive Care Unit, taking drugs in the ward, physiotherapy in the hospital gym and temporary amnesia are a few of my tales. I reflect on life and death today and this makes me very humble and grateful. It’s been over 12 years since and I try to remind myself regularly that there’s one life to live and every day is a blessing. My journey since then has been my motivation for this blog.
I would love to hear any feedback, suggestions or stories about your own journey…
