List

Image
By
As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?).

I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol.

So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on  'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things.
The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for)

There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a nation you'll concur with me that things have happened.
Well that's the beauty of life, its dynamic, change is CONSTANT.

If I were to describe 2015 in one sentence; 2015 has been a vicissitude.
I remember I started the new year I tears because I was tired of life. By God's grace I won't end in tears, can I get an Amen?

I'll share my list for 2015, I don't even know what to title it *covers face* :
* I didn't kill myself or got killed.
* Not a day went by that I didn't eat (I'm really bad at fasting)
* I was able to move from one place to the other without any form of physical assistance. OR be confined to a particular place (like those in prison)
* I began to eat cornflakes
* I did Ghana weaving for the first time
* I slept more than the average number of times for a young person
* I wore heels for more than 4 hours. (I hate heels)
* I was a teacher; not only during my service year (NYSC) but in church to teenagers.
*Finished National Youth Service Corps.
*Moved from size 10 to 12  (I really wanted to remain a 10)
*Lost some friends, made new ones though.
* I started to blog
* I went natural
* Got a job which aligns with my career path
* Started my master's program
* Moved to the next level of my professional exams.

Like I said so much has happened, these are the ones I can remember off heart. Thinking about it; I'll title my list as things I'm grateful for in 2015.

Here's to 2015!! Cheers!!!


With love, theInspiredCutiee 

Short story type of day

By
I wrote this while I was in church (please don't judge me , it just popped in my mind and I began to write) She felt something slowly tickle her face, she ignored it the first and second time, then it began to move more rapidly than before. She woke up in a startle, disoriented and wondered what could have been causing this, it felt like it was on her face, she touched her face and it was wet, 'what's this?' she asked herself because it was dark. She quickly jumped up and flicked the switch on.. She screamed when she saw it was blood! The small dark spot on her pillow and on her nightie (when she sat up) were both evidence that she was bleeding from her nose. 'No, no not again' she cried. 'This can't be happening again' she said! Then she quickly remembered she was to tilt her head up whenever her nose began to bleed, she tilted her head and waited a couple of minutes but it didn't stop. She began to panic because she was loosin...

Lauren Daigle

By
Lauren Daigle is a contemporary christian music singer. I absolutely love her voice. She speaks to your soul and situation.  Her music is exceptional; but my favorite two are: How Can It Be and Trust In You. The first time I heard 'How Can It Be' I was in tears.. Sigh.. Like I said she speaks to your situation. That moment of my life I felt inadequate of God's love and then I heard this song.  Just take a moment to look at the lyrics:  http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/laurendaigle/howcanitbe.html 'Trust in you' is nothing short of her amazing voice, again the lyrics blow me away. The chorus is always a reminder: When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You! I always ask myself; can I still trust God when He doesn't give me the answers I want? Can I still be genuinely gra...

The Halo Effect

By
Are you exhibiting the halo effect? Do you buy products because of the celebrity representing it? Or stay in a relationship that is wrong because of one good quality? We are all attracted to people all the time. What attracts us to others? And what attracts you? When you meet someone for the first time you draw a conclusion about them, subconsciously you decide whether you like them or not. BUT is it possible that one trait or aspect of one's character can influence your perception about them? Honestly, I judge a person's character based on their physical appearance, its a quick judgment that is very likely inaccurate. The good thing is that once I begin to have a conversation, I realize there's more to the person than just physical looks. (Well that's for those that are actually more than their looks). The halo effect can cloud our judgment even when we know about it. When one good quality spills its appeal unto other elements of a per...
