Delicately Jovial

It’s December, and boy, oh boy, have I been on a learning roller coaster. Strangely enough, the more I know, the more I don’t know anything. The most cool thing about learning…in my opinion. What a year! I had this writing prompt this evening about how endings can be beginnings in life and how this whole paradox can make or destroy the mind and emotional state. The truth is, when an end is…

I was scrolling online recently and saw a little piece of information that said, when a person is attracted to people who are not attracted to them, or to people who treat them not so good, it means they are emotionally unavailable. And this made me go like woahhhhhhh Ok. It made sense to me personally because I am discovering a pattern that I have been looped in. I noticed this pattern in a…

Refuse to be unhappy unless this unhappiness is seen as a gift.  Should I explain why? Happiness is self-borne. It is cultivated within. Personally, I realize sometimes unhappiness is a result of not being understood, not feeling safe, and not being able to express. Self-expression is healing, after all. I may be bold enough to say I have studied unhappiness in myself. Honestly, unhappiness can…

This is August, 2024. And I must say, it has not been easy so far but yet it has been easy. Fighting with my own mind to be better has been the hardest battle I have fought my whole life. Mostly because it involves having to accept so many things that the ego tried so hard to protect me from. I used to say I came to this world to get closer to love and to find my love…..boy did I not know the…

So this year began for me with a very serious question from me to me, “Why is it so hard for me to be emotionally open to anybody?” This question sounds innocent and simple enough, but the amount of emotion behind this question is just astounding. I have, all through the past years, learned so much about myself. For one, it is hard to contain my energy. For example, I woke up this morning, I…

So, recently I have been around fire a lot. I discovered first of all that talking to the flames is kind of soothing…yes I am still weird. Most importantly though I discovered that of all the elements of the universe (fire, air, earth and air), fire is the only one that you actually need to summon. As in fire needs something to hold onto to burn or to be fire. Am I making any sense? I hope so. I…

My Last Ego Died…

Hi Family, it has been a really long while. I feel so so excited to be blogging again. Let me do a really brief catch up first so that we can be on the same page ok? So I have been on a crazy spiritual awakening journey. When I say crazy, I mean hella adventurous. I literally left from being suicidal to being the Empress. I got what I wished for and then some. My ego is dead and gone. I am…

The Cost of Wasting Our Time

Oh, I definitely fall in this group.

You know, when you have loads of things you should be doing, but somehow you just keep pushing it because you think there’s still time….yep, I’m definitely on that table.

Ok, but let’s be brutally honest about how we spend the most precious gift we have, which is our time.

The opportunity cost of Wasting time is huge, so we have to check ourselves before we…

Overcoming Depression: How to Recognize the Symptoms

I am worried about how we don’t care about depression and anxiety in Africa. We are not immune you know. No, we are definitely not immune. Depression affects us in Africa too.

Are you finding that the simplest tasks are becoming very difficult? You’re not alone, and I am here to spread awareness to those who don’t quite know the ins and outs about depression.

“Living with depression is…

How to Respond to Suicidal Posts on Social Media

A lot of people cry for help on social media directly and mostly indirectly too. Although we are in agreement that everyone should be happy with whatever floats their boat and that we should just mind our business and scroll through, somethings just are not to be ignored on social media. It breaks my heart every time I see a suicidal post because I start asking myself “what went wrong baby?”…

Healing… Forward

Healing hurts. Let the pain speak. Pain management is often necessary and grounded in kindness and mercy. Pain avoidance on the other hand will go too far. Learn to walk the line. Healing is found there.

The medical system, both for physical and mental health, is largely based on pain avoidance-it’s not sustainable. We must feel to deeply heal. Fact is, healing hurts and sometimes badly…this…

Forgiving Is Hard, but Not Forgiving Hurts More

Most people believe that forgiveness means condoning an event. But it’s not. Blame ties us to the past and makes our heart and mind smaller — both literally and metaphorically because all you do and think of is just the wrong you have suffered. Forgiving, on the other hand, means realizing that resentment and hatred add more pain.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting. It’s not accepting,…

How to Win The Emotional Battle of Procrastination

As I write these articles, I learn too and I am sometimes always writing them for myself. I need to read these words later when it feels like I am drowning or just confused. Today we are talking about procrastination. I have suffered with this so much. I keep pushing any and everything forward just so I can sleep or read a medieval romance novel…

Have you noticed how easy it is to push plans…

BEING AUTHENTIC IN LIFE

I’ve noticed many people get stuck on the proverbial “hamster wheel” of life–an endless cycle of work and household responsibilities and obligations. Seldom do they pause to reflect about who they really are or why they do what they do. The lack of deeper meaning or connection to their work and life roles causes them to shift into autopilot–a state of unconsciousness and stagnation. They become…
