Hello! It's been a minute

Dear Reader,

It's been many months since I last shared a post here. Did I tell you that I have missed writing on this blog?

So what have you been up to since I've been away? Did you get married, move to a new city, take up a new job, start a new career? Or maybe you decided to focus on family instead?

You'll agree it's been a challenging time with having to deal with the pandemic. There's been so many lives lost, bad news here and there...…. The earth has been in a perpetual state of convulsion.

Funny how a song just popped into my mind now, "If you're still alive and breathing, praise the Lord! Let everything, let everything praise the Lord...…."

Regardless of what's been happening on earth or around you, if you are reading this piece, you are alive. So take a minute to thank God.

Did you write down any goals for this year or is the plan just to be alive? If you wrote some goals down, are you making progress towards them?

So I had a vision board before the start of 2020. I had some pretty interesting things on it. Did I crush all my goals for 2020? No..... What about you?

Okay, so let's talk about 2021... I'm super glad that life is starting to look more "normal". I am looking forward to being able to sit in a movie theatre and watch movies again. Counting down to when that will be. I travelled by air for the first time since September 2019 this month and it felt so surreal...

What's one thing you've taken away from the situation with the pandemic? For me, it's to be more deliberate and be intentional about maximizing my time here on earth.

What do your 2021 goals look like? Hoping to see your answers in the comments section. One of my goals is to put out some great content on this blog going forward this year.

Oh, by the way, I got my first shot of the Covid Vaccine this week. What about you? Did you get it? Are you putting it off till much later? I had slight swelling and pain around my arm for the first two days but I'm good now.

Alright, I just stopped to say hello, how are you doing? Lol....

Cheers!!

BIBI - CHAPTER 17

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange was happening to you Several months later….. **** Pere removed his glasses and rubbed his aching eyes. He thought about Nneoma. It had been months since he had seen her. He had reached out to her and tried to see her, but she had refused to pick up his calls. Eventually, she blocked his number, and he saw red. He had had enough. Today, he decided to go to her office to see her. A thousand thoughts crossed his mind. What if she wasn’t at the office? What if she had traveled? “Kade, I’ll see you tomorrow.” He said to their office assistant and headed out. “I’m here to see Ms. Nneoma Odili.” He said to the receptionist. “Is she expecting you?” “No.” He replied curtly. “What is your name?” The lady asked. “Pere is my name.” He answered. “She’s not at her desk.” The receptionist said to him after calling Nneoma's secretary. “Wow! But do you know if she’s in the office today?”

A little Update From Me

Hello there!! Happy New Year!!! I say Happy New Year because I've been away from this blog for so long. :-( I can't get past the fact that it was the new year just a few months ago. I remember going to church for the crossover service into the new year. It was my first in-person crossover service in 7 years. If you don't know what a crossover service is, ask any Nigerian. :-) 2023 was a few hours away, and my mind ran over the events in 2022. I thought about my wins, like moving to a new state, settling in, getting a job promotion, etc. I thought about how I got sick and felt like life was leaving me to being well again. People went forward to share their testimonies, and I felt I was supposed to be out there proclaiming God's goodness to me. "I'm sorry, Lord," I muttered. "Thank you for everything." A few hours later, everyone said "Happy New Year" with glee and excitement. "2023... Please be good to me." I th

BIBI - CHAPTER 16

I t was a rainy Monday morning, and Lara was frustrated by all the traffic. That was one thing she missed about London. Fast and reliable transportation that got you where you were going without hassles. She was cranky by the time she arrived at the office that morning. It didn’t also help that she didn’t have a good night’s sleep. She placed her bag under her desk and sighed. Kofo, her admin assistant, walked up to her. “Good morning, madam. Your first meeting with the people from Duchess Group is in forty minutes.” Lara squinted and then nodded. She hadn’t yet turned on her computer. “Thanks, Kofo. Yes, I know.” “Can I get you anything?” “Yes, please. My regular morning fix.” Lara smiled. “Okay, I’ll be right back,” Kofo replied. She liked her new assistant a lot. In the short time since she had known her, Kofo had proven to be reliable. She honestly didn’t know what she would do without her these days. After getting her morning fix, a cup of coffee, and egg sandwiches,
