List

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 

End It?

By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list. I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey (who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show) Here's an excerpt from the episode: Nia: I want you to end it Annalise: I'm sorry? Nia: I want you to kill me Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down: Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitel...

Part 2

If you missed Part 1, here is the link: http://theinspiredcutiee.blogspot.com.ng/2015/10/part-1.html#more Part 2: Habit A habit is something done repeatedly sometimes sometimes unconsciously. 40% of everything we do is done merely from habit. Experts say that a habit can be broken or formed in 30 days. I have bad habits, (cell phone addiction, PROCRASTINATION) some I don't even know how I'll be if I stop,(watching too much series) some I have stopped, (I used to suck my lower lip) and I'm sure you too have some habits that are bad. No judgment, habits form us, its when they are bad that it becomes a problem. Breaking a habit can seem overwhelming, especially when you have more than one. Choose a single habit and work on that until you are victorious before you pick up another one. Lemme share a classic example, I began to exercise daily few weeks ago, normal body pains are expected, but me I stopped.  I couldn't deal. On Saturday 24th October I ...

Part 1

By
In one of his songs, Nathaniel Bassey described Zechariah 4:6 (Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit; saith the Lord) as thus; So many of us have tried to fight addiction in the flesh, you've tried to stop that habit, you've tried to get out of that relationship, you've tried to break through, you've tried will power BUT its not by power not by might but by my Sprit saith the Lord. Hence the kick off of the series, (they don't follow each other in the traditional sense of series, think of it like American Horror Story Series) Part 1: ADDICTION Dictionary dot com defines it as the state of being enslaved to a habit, or practice or to something that is physiologically or physical habit-forming as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. A couple of months back, my brother and I were arguing over 'habit' 'addiction' and 'obsession', which comes first?, which is difficult to break? and so much more. Can...
