Purpose…

I’ve recently started paying down a mortgage.  It’s been 4 months now and I find it quite interesting due to the relative change in my lifestyle and expenses.  I’m happy I made the move or long term investment and glad to have a place of my own.  Furnishing has been exciting though; from furniture to […]

One Simple Truth… 

Reflecting on the Christmas season and all, I realise how my receipt of gifts has reduced over the years, by both quality and quantity.  I remember the days when I received some amazing presents and enjoyed much attention during this period.  These days, it seems to be in reverse because there’s more giving than receiving on […]

Reinventions…

I can’t remember when exactly I started to realize my mom wasn’t the cutest girl but it must have been in my early teens.  This was when I fell in love with curves; provocative girls from all over the world in sensual poses on glossy paper really tickled my fancy.  And of course, the amazing […]

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 […]

They say they care…

Seeking life in institutions is futile…..simply because there are sinister elements in every institution.  Be it in the form of education, religion or politics…..giving yourself to a structure or organisation that promises to care for you will only lead to disappointment and frustration.  Institutions are a going concern and primarily seek to maximize key goals […]

When it comes to Essence…

The whole point of life is to uncover our Godliness.  After all, our nature is His and He is in us…there is really no difference and this is strictly from an essence perspective.  This process usually takes time and is an interesting journey for those who choose to participate in it.  Many of us don’t […]

Nothing has Changed…

The story of Adam and Eve is still happening today.  Adam’s admiration and pride in his beautiful woman is the same thing that limited his ability to refuse when offered the apple….this is where things went pear shaped.  His given purpose…which did not include the apple, took second place to pleasing his woman.  Today, some […]

Our Mothers…

My neighbor at work is pregnant.  She’s a lovely lady and every morning everyone around me is entertained by her stories.  She tells tales of her difficulty trying to sleep at night, dealings with her husband and first son, her experiences on the commute into work and her fluctuating diet.  She speaks with joy of […]

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 […]

Look but don’t touch…

It’s part of company culture where I’m currently working to celebrate Fridays.  The morning is filled with Happy Friday greetings, big smiles and conversations on weekend plans.  We also tend to treat ourselves to breakfast out as a reward for a good job over the week.  Like is popularly believed, treating yourself right is important for self-confidence!  […]

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 […]

Imperfections…

I’ve always had a keen interest in the Financial Markets.  Graduating with a 2.1 in Economics and starting my career with a Global Bank was exciting; it exposed me to great minds, strong systems and complex products.  I have 6 years of Institutional Financial Services experience under my belt at the moment and I have […]

Shinning your light…

My journey of self-discovery, in context of my nature as a writer with a keen mind, has been very interesting.  From the writing, editing and publication of my first book, Unobservable Life to the feedback, critic and reviews that it brought; I am grateful for the experience.  Of little knowledge to me, others were watching […]

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 […]
