2011 in Perspective…. On to 2012!!!
Oh well, this here post is 8 days late as I was deliberating if I should put it up or not.
A little editing and up it goes
First off, I’d like to give the biggest thanks to God! He kept me through the year and I am not taking that for granted. Had a bunch of close calls with life as a whole!
I am grateful for my biological family, my mum and I got really close this year!
Talks I never had a chance to have with her come naturally now—menfolk! Lol… And I am not talking the basics! The whole shebang!
Always knew my mother had a freaky side, just never thought we could be open talking like friends or sisters.
Talking about sisters, BigMa and Mo’Degun! You both rock! Standing by me and listening to my endless rants about ….. Yes you guessed it! Boys!
My long lost just found sisters! FancyMoe, Anfla and Yosola! Really? Why we just clicked, goodness only knows! But y’all have stood by me through thick and thin, tears and laughter! Love ya guys! You too ShugarCane! Brova from anova mother!
To everyone that has stood by me in one way or the other, I truly appreciate you!
Asanme! You stay tryna hook me up with one brova or another
Yainkus! You stay encouraging me in the Lord! See how you’ve grown! From the former party/club chic, to a woman after God’s heart! Bless…
Abbey Oh! The unofficial/official first born of my mother! Always there to lend an ear and comfort me! We done come a long ways from “Olowoporoku” days!
All my personal peeps too many to mention:
Kemzo
Kemolala
Jejusmilano
Mama
Dayo
Seun Aros
Ifoski
Yettykhide
Shukrat
Shaka no1
Alollie
Xtiana
Tola
And more…. Y’all Rock!!!
To my church folks, wow is all I can say! Praise Generation! You guys are a mix of individuals that have left an indelible mark on my heart!
This year I have grown, learnt and seen people for who they are and who they show themselves to be. The good, bad and fugly!
Now it gets risque…..
Lol…
This year, I was very vulnerable! End of story!
No! Not really
Vulnerable, yes. I realized I have never been “single” in 12-15 years! So treading the single lanes again was very hard! Do I date? How? Whom? Why? Am I even ready? Its been way too long and I know for sure I am mad rusty!
So I hid behind rekindling friendships. Old pals from high school and college and tryna see if anything clicked between me and the single guys
Instead, I got caught up on gist from my old girl pals….who’s married? Got kids? Divorced? Widowed? Who’s cheating? Who’s competing? Hmmm…. Enough gist!
Finally got to the bottom of what really happened between myself and my college sweetheart!
And no it was not distance, and neither did I cheat on him nor rushed into the arms of anova available lover! We were just kids…..go figure! He got married this year
oh well….. All the best!
I also found out that it is never a good place to be as an audience or outsider when one hears that a marriage is broken up! One should never judge because you can never truly understand what went wrong! So to all those that keep asking, how is so and so? Oh well, a new year is approaching, please leave those questions in 2011!!! Oh, and btw, I am very fine and he should be ok! the ride was somewhat nice while it lasted. No regrets and I know God’s got me in mind and that’s what matters!
I cried a lot this year
from personal pains and from throwing questions to heaven on some “why me?” But I realized, why not me? Who else could God and life have brought such pain on but me? I guess so I could be an example? I came to a hard realization that when one prays, “Father use me!” We never really know to what extent! That is such a dangerous prayer to render. But through it all, I kinda get my role in the universe!
I have had to talk to and coach other females in being true to themselves and not give excuses for their partners. That was a lesson I was taught ages ago but took it for granted in my own case. See, my mum is real with herself and she still has and runs a happy home for over 30 years! Why did I think I could do otherwise? To please other folks? Nah….. Self love!!! Even the bible recognizes this! “Love thy neighbor as “thyself”"! Learnt that recently.
I know there will be folks that think differently, thank you! But this is for me! Your opinions are appreciated but here is me being real!!! Those that know me understand me!
Don’t get me wrong, I am
NOT a woman scorned! Heck no! Far from it, and YES I still and always will believe in REAL LOVE. Call me a hopeless romantic, this I know I am. But I am yet to experience it. I came pretty close but the fact that it didn’t end in us still holding hands till our hairs turn gray means it wasn’t quite it
I am not necessarily looking all out for love, but like my mum says, I am tryna keep my heart open
So…. I am just having the time of my life! My career goals are progressing….. Soon enough, “Moby Sugar’s Croonings” will hit the airwaves! I am so excited about that! For a second I almost killed the whole project because I felt who wants to hear a broken-hearted lady talk about love? Nobody needs to have 2 Adeles in this world! Though her songs, I sure can relate with in ways you can’t even imagine!
I have so grown this year! Seen folks around me grow as well! As I people watch in MOA tonight, I can do nothing but smile
I hit a major milestone on my last birthday just a couple weeks back and all I can do is smile howbeit through some tears. Got a surprising call/text/email a day to my birthday from an oldie but goodie “friend”! But before I let my mind wander into neverland I pause and take stock!
Yes tomorrow is the last day in this year and I am grateful for all I have been through. The good and the bad. The joy and pain. All of these have come to make me stronger! I would only be a huge fool if after all these, I still went back to the same old tactics that brought about the sadness!
So 2012! Into the New indeed! New life, new friends, new love? Maybe? Who knows? But I am not bothered! All I know is its all going to be a new and great year for me! Yes I am excited! And not scared to face what comes my way because I will be doing it MY WAY!!! God’s got me on lock down so I know its going to be a great ride!
Thankies 2011 and previous years for the lessons learnt!!
Happy New 2012 folks!!!

Of that….. Jesus!
Of that night when quietly as Mary tended to her household chores, an angel appeared telling her humanly impossible incidents to occur….
Of her saying…let the will of God be done, I am your fair maiden..
Of her visiting her cousin Elizabeth and her baby John, paying homage even from the womb…. Oh Jesus!
Of that teenage boy walking and talking amongst his elders, breaking down his father’s laws for he is of heaven and no earthly being can completely comprehend…oh Jesus!
Of that first miracle turning water to wine, discreetly teaching on family values and proving his worth…do as he tells you, his mother said…oh Jesus!
Of healing the sick, raising the dead, comforting the heartbroken and bringing little kids to him. The lion and the lamb all at once…oh Jesus!
Of hanging with his disciples whom he called brethren though there was a traitor in their midst. This was only so the father’s will may be done…oh Jesus!
Of that presence that even the oceans, storms and winds obey. Peace be still was all he said while others one the boat fretted….oh Jesus!
Of that night in Gethsemane as he prayed, father let this cup pass over, not mines but your will be done, while his “brethren” snored on nearby…oh Jesus!
Of that evening as he hung on the cross like a common criminal between two real criminals, poked, prodded, jeered at. “If you are the said Messiah, why not save yourself?” Oh Jesus!
Strike the clock!!! The veil torn! After his last human words…. “it is finished”…..oh Jesus!
Of that journey he made to hell on humanity’s behalf, taking away the key of damnation by his death as he sojourned back the father and presenting his blood…his life for you and I…oh Jesus!
Of his glorious resurrection even as a few of his “brethren” doubted. Fulfilling his assignment on earth as he gave humanity its own…oh Jesus!
Of whom Kings and Kingdoms pass through always yet he remains! Yesterday, today and forever…oh Jesus!
Of that name that every knee bows and tongues confess his lordship consciously or not. The same name that brings salvation. The name we celebrate this season. The life recognized world over…oh Jesus!
Jesus…. Of that name, calling out to you today, yes YOU!. Its neither myth nor fairytale… Its the truth that sets you free. Let the fragrance of that name be your source, like the fragrance after the rain.
In the midst of the season, do not forget the real reason…Jesus! Gifts being exchanged, love being shared, goodwill and joy experienced all these comes from that one name…….
Jesus!!!
Merry Christmas!
Once upon a Girl……
With a twinkle in her eyes
Flowers in her hair
Singing ever so sweetly
Once upon a Girl……
Walking down the shore
Feet digging in the sand
Watching sea-gulls fly by
Once upon a Girl……
Gazing at the stars at night
Calling them her’s
Orion she holds. dear to heart
Once upon a Girl……
Filled with love in her heart
For everything that breathes
Loving life itself
Once, oh Once upon Girl………..
No more…
Protected: Life
Day-dreamer….
I sit here in my thoughts
Making each an happy ending…..
Of finding and making friends who are of true hearts, no deceit or backstabbing in what we share. Of nights hanging out, talking, poking fun and having a good time. Of roaming the streets of downtown on a cool fall night, restaurant/bar hopping. Of making future plans and pacts to raise all our kids as friends and attending their weddings and being the crazy, sweet, funny, grumpy, weird moms and dads.
Oh Daydreamer me…..
Of landing that one dream job. Successful lifestyle of the Rich, not caring so much about being Famous…..that could be a perk tho
As a result of a fat bank account, going on trendsetting vacays to remote spots….. Turkey, Belize, Kyoto, Playa de Carman, Yankari Games Reserve and the likes. Taking 5 day quick trips with bestest pals at the drop of a hat!
Oh Daydreamer me…..
Of bumping into Mr Man! Breathe-taking view to behold. Muscles rippling under a well tailored dress shirt. Pants hanging right on them hips. Smile so captivating with that slight twinkle in his eyes signaling a mischievious yet playful demeanor beneath all that manliness……
Ooohweee!
Daydreamer!
Fast-forward……
Of me walking down the aisle with my Dad as he leads me to Mr Man…. All I see are those deepest of brown eyes piercing and drawing my soul as my breath catches and I feel a tightness in my throat as I hold back a tear. Yet a lone one drops on my cheek as I reach my heart…. He takes out his pocket hanky and ever so sweetly, wipes away the tear…..oh joy!
Dang Daydreamer!!
Of childbirth(s), such love to be shared with my bestie and heart. As he holds his baby(ies) for the first time, tears of joy and pride flowing as he reaches to kiss me and bless God. Our little baby, so small, cute and precious as we whisper privately given names. Our hearts bursting and our heads not being able to fully comprehend how blessed we were to behold such beauty. Grateful….
Oh Daydreamer…..
Of graduations, watching our prince and princess make their ways into the world. Nurturing them in pure love. Holding each other by the waist as we wave them off…..weddings, baby christenings, birthdays, christmas, easter and all holidays. Always a joy when the grandkids come to Nana and Gramp’s cottage by the lake…..
Hmmm….
Of holding hands, machines beeping, oxygen tank pumping, lines in veins, monitors blinking…… 89 I am, you a year older and the same piercing eyes look lovingly at me as I lay on the hospital bed. Kids, grandkids, siblings, and friends all around me to say their goodbyes. Full life lived, happy and fulfilled. I look one last time at my heart, squeezed his hand, smile as I take my last breath……
DAYDREAMER…….
Emotions
Stomach fluttering
Heart tugging
Tears falling
Remembering emotions……..
Sideways glance
Eyes diverted
Involuntary smiles
Showing emotions……….
First argument
Several disagreements
Silent treatment
Raging emotions……..
Faith, trust
Believing, accepting
Forgiveness, friendship
Building emotions………
Soft caress
Butterfly kisses
Gentle touch
Yearning emotions……….
