2019 Was A Trip


Before the fireworks go off and cry for joy fill the air signalling the beginning of a new year and a new decade, I decided to pen down my resolutions for the year ahead.
However, before I write my resolution I decided to tell everyone about my friendship with the year 2019.  Although it took the entire 365 days for me to recognize the impact the year had on me, I am glad I do now.

2019 charged at me like a beast and I was unprepared to defend myself. I tried my usual ignore it until it goes away tactic but  2019 came stronger. I was smoked out of my hole and I came running out whining and complaining about how unfair the year was treating me.

2019 shook me so hard until I was fully awake. This way I was reminded that I am awesome.
 I was allowed to cry, breakdown, hold my breath, be filled with uncertainty as long as I kept moving.

Looking back at those days of lessons I am grateful that I journeyed with 2019.  I was always out of my comfort zone to the point that it no longer feels like home. I resolve to finish the good work that started in 2019. Cheers to continuity and a big cheers to 2020!!!

The Forever Enthusiast; My first blog post 2019

Woke up this morning to my mom singing Dj Khaled's "Wild thoughts" in the bathroom. Not only was it hilarious, it somehow became my motivation to write my first blog post. For a long time, I pushed the idea of having my own blog because of a whole lot of irrelevant excuses. Today, I choose to emulate my "wild thoughts" bathroom singing mother for the rest of 2019. Today I choose to be an enthusiast! My mother is a far cry away from being a good singer but, she sings anyway not minding what anyone might say. A lady willing to learn new things like the latest dance moves. She also never fails to speak the truth. She is one who is never afraid to ask questions and understands that for a problem there is definitely a solution. My mom has the spirit of a hustler which makes her "the forever enthusiast. With this, I say welcome to my blog! And do stick around.

Today.

Today, like I have been doing for the past five years, I woke up as a wife, to a husband who worships the floor I walk on. I knew I was right when I choose him.  I also woke up a mother to two bubbly kids. Very rude pair if I must add. Samson and I are still wondering where we went wrong with those two- Samson and Lucy. Twins. Five years old. We just kept yelling and threatening without change. But still I adore them and they adore me.  On this day like every other day, my routine was pretty much the same. Prepare food for the family or they all starve since I hold the key to their survival. After breakfast I moved on to tackle those kids into the school bus like we do every day, I see Little Samson was becoming more mature but Lucy has resolved to be a brat.  I always blamed Samson for Lucy's attitude and then he blames me back and then we would quarrel. After tossing the children on the school bus, Samson and I would race off to work.  I am a psycholog...
