I recently turned 33. On one level, it was a normal day as I went to work and didn’t take time off to exclusively celebrate. On another level, it was a special day due to the love I received from friends and family from all over the world. There were a lot of phone calls, […]
Forgive and Forget…
I heard a story the other day that revealed a lesson to me. There was a family christmas party and my friend had decided not to bring presents for certain members of the family. This come from painful memories of the past, unmet expectations and sour feelings of the present state of events. His brother […]

Another Thought Captured…
I remember last New Year’s Eve, I was en route to a joint in the City of London to meet up with some friends. My transit was through Moorgate where I had worked when I first moved to the City. I’ve moved on for about a year now so this night was like a walk […]

Vulnerability…
I was out for dinner with a friend the other night and she was really upset from an earlier argument with one of her friends. Apparently this disagreement was intense and it brought up old resentment and irritations. Both are rather stubborn and strong willed ladies and this was like the straw that broke the […]

Double Trouble…
Last Saturday, I took my god daughters out; one is 6 and the other is 9 years old. As you can imagine, this was new for me and I felt a bit of anxiety as I drove to pick them up. At their request, we ended up at the O2 Center to see Inside Out in […]

The Power of Words…
I was hanging with one of my god-daughters and her friends the other day. Somewhere in the course of their playful and joyful engagement, they got into a little disagreement over something and one of them dismissively called her a cow. It was like a movie because everything immediately went quiet and we all stopped to […]

A Snapshot of Life…
So, I’m on the tube the other evening and I look around the carriage to see different facial expressions and countenances. It’s a diverse picture. A lady with hand on head trying to massage her headache away, two friends in a heated discussion over the fate of a relationship and a man trying to stay […]

Living is Working…
I’ve been to the dentist about three times in the last two months and I have to say, it’s not fun! I think I’ve got good teeth and feel a recent need to check them as I accept I’m growing older. I’m discovering maybe not because my dentist sees everything and advises me of root […]

A Heart for Others…
I can only imagine how buzzing rush hour gets in other cities. From management of the transport service to the ever fluctuating temperament of passengers to the unexpected events that tend to occur; I find these interactions interesting. The other evening, en route home by the tube, 2 people got off at Old Street station. […]

Live to Share or Share to Live?
I was babysitting in Church the other Saturday morning. There were about 6 kids at this session. As usual, they wanted to drink juice, eat popcorn and play in the big pen. I let them do this as much as they wanted and ensured there were no issues. One of the girls had brought chocolate […]

A Question of Identity…
The key problem is one of identity. Everything in life can be traced to this. Because this question cannot be answered by many of us…in a clear and definitive way, a lot of the issues we experience exist. The ability to treat this brings clarity to our minds and harnesses our desires. We live deliberately […]

Too old for this…
I love music. More specifically Hip Hop because it’s a good mix of everything like culture, language and style. I love the range, the creativity and diversity present and this is probably due to the times I was first introduced to it, which was back in the 90’s. So one night after a networking event […]

Life and Death…
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 […]

Attraction is not a choice…
Sometimes her mood changes; now I find this very interesting because when it comes down to it, it is real. The basis, I may not initially understand or agree with but the flexibility, randomness and depth of her expressions are one of a kind. She is different from me and I accept that. We don’t […]

The Two sides of Life…
It’s pretty evident a lot of fine lines exist in life. The critical question is…..are we aware where these lie? More so, are we teaching our seeds the differences between both sides? How to differentiate between truths and facts? Or that perception and reality aren’t really the same? Make them aware fear and faith, love and […]

Me against the World…
From the moment we are born the world labels us, pretty, thin, smart, doctor, lawyer, and these labels form who we are. Please explain to me how outside these labels we can define ourselves? Tell me…who is the world? And who makes up the world? We are essentially labelling ourselves… all in different ways but […]
