The end of something is better than its beginning. It is better to be patient than arrogant. Ecclesiastes 7:8 (The Bible) When it first began...you had the buttterflies . The nervous excitement from the good news you received or the new chapter you had begun. You simply couldn't suppress the joy and excitement you felt and you wanted the feeling to last forever. But as time went on, the fire in your heart begun to grow cold; you lost the joy, passion and the zeal to keep it going. We have all been there...experienced the great  feeling of a fresh start to something new. You begin a new job, a new relationship, a new friendship, get a new idea, a new school or college, you are newly wed. They call it the honeymoon phase and it's the time when everything feels good and just perfect. But over time, life gets difficult, obstacles come our way and takes away the joy and excitement we once felt. We  have all experienced it. As time goes on, the job is lost, the relationship ends,

HDS is a disease many of us suffer from. Whether we are aware of it or not. Human Dependency Syndrome attacks the best of us; celebrities, communities, nations and continents are under attack from this dreadful disease. I'm not sure if this term formally exists (because I thought it out) but I feel it working in my life and it's doing exactly what it means to do; it makes me dependent on the responses of others in big and small decisions or actions for my life. When making little decisions like, 'should I get up and dance to this song because I love it, leads you onto 'but no one is dancing and I need someone to dance with me', then ... Or I am so sick and tired of this routine and need a relaxing holiday but 'who will come with me' is your next line of thought then ... I want to start my own business but 'I can't do it on my own' ... Comes to mind Does this sound familiar to you? That's human dependency syndrome. I define it as wantin

Hi there! It's been a long four months or so since I last wrote. My sincere apologies for keeping you waiting. My mind and my diary have been the only witnesses to the events in my life of late and it took a lot for me to write this mostly because it's so very personal but it's relevant and there is no one else that I would share my life with than you. This one is for the ladies, so if you are a guy, kindly press 'x' for today, next time, I am very sure you will be invited into this subject. Reader's notice: this post was my actual diary entry for the stated date. Enjoy! And till next time, Read, share, subscribe and comment. ***********************                 **************************         ************************** 2 017   APRIL Tuesday 25 Based on the events of the past couple of days, I have thought it would be a good idea to start a blog on dating. The blog will be titled 'dating anonymous' because I would maintain an anonymou

Happy Valentine's Day folks!    It's been a while since I last wrote a blog post. I have generally not been in the right frame of mind for writing and I miss writing spontaneously. I guess I've had a dry spell and I hope this blog ends my dry spell for the season. I have a treat for you, and because it's Valentine's Day, Love ❤️ is the topic for discussion. I hope you don't mind me getting a bit personal. Here it goes... So I am away from home for half a dozen months and I got some people from church to write me little notes of encouragement, support, anything nice. I planned to keep them and read them whenever I was feeling sad, lonely, discouraged or homesick. But today as I was pondering on the happenings of Valentine's day all over the world, I realised that I had little notes of encouragement and ❤️ LOVE to keep me going. I haven't celebrated Valentine's Day romantically before and have always tended to celebrate it in miscellaneous ways som

The year 2017 has only just began, but I have learnt so much over the past 14 days that I just want to share with you. This is a very personal and honest post and I will be very frank with myself, it might seem a bit brutal but it's the truth and maybe you might be able to identify with what I share. *** Leading on from previous years, especially the year 2016, I have learnt so much about myself and to be honest, 99 per cent of what I have learnt is not positive. 2016 was definitely my year of revelation. I was very upset and disappointed most of the time but I am happy that I was able to have a thorough examination of my inner self, at least I know where I stand.  God definitely reveals to redeem.. That year (2016) and these past few days are not in vain. Without taking much time, here are my highlights: Opportunities lie ahead, 1 Strengths turned to weaknesses, 2 Frozen at the shores of the Red Sea, 3 Conclusion: Holding on to what I have, 4 I know t
