Being Loved 2

-
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 sometimes just a quiet observation of the day, other times a celebration with loved ones.  
My collection of notes from home
      After several years of doing it this way, I am convinced that this way of celebrating Valentine's Day is truly practical and effective for my current season in life, young, single and very family-oriented. Family and friends will always be there, boyfriends and sometimes husbands don't always last. So what do you do when you find yourself single and happy? You remind yourself that you are LOVED and you are ENOUGH...and although someone's love for you run out. You are still loved enough. Because ...  
Love goes around in circles. And no matter how confusing it gets, you always get it back.  
So love yourself, ❤️ others and receive it when it comes back.    Till next time   Happy Valentine's Day - dear You        Happy Living!!   Claudy xoxo

My To-Be List for age 30 and beyond

My birthday is coming up soon. And for me I often see birthdays as an opportunity to reflect, review and set some new goals. Basically birthdays are like my version of New Year's resolutions.  Very soon (next year) I will be turning the big 30, And I still have a lot of things I want to accomplish, to tighten up and to break down ... especially insecurities. As you read my list, you'll notice that these are mostly mental habits or personal behaviours as opposed to physical habits. I was going to make a list of 30 things but I realised that would take too much time to read and would even take too much time to write in the first place. Here are a list of 10 things I would like to apply in my life on a daily basis (or as frequently as possible) by age 30 and beyond. 1. Read . I am a very slow reader. I mean 🐌 kind of slow. This makes me not enjoy reading so much. In fact, I think I can only usually manage reading for 20 minutes, afterwards I lose interest and switch on YouTube. S

Dear Singleton...Part 1

Don't compromise. Estimated reading time: 3 minutes As I sit here in my usual writing spot, I am happy that I have FINALLY been able to put "pen to paper" to write this blog. It's been on my mind for so long and damn if only I had written this when inspiration was at it's peak, it would have been a really good blog post. But regardless, here we are 3 weeks after, finally doing this, so let's go! As you may have noticed, I always begin my blog post with a quote. This one here is secretly my favourite Bible quote but I always say I don't really have one when asked that question. Daughters of Jerusalem [Replace that with S isters, friends, girlfriends ], I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. Song of Solomon 8:4 Precisely 28 days ago, I was flattered by the thought that I might have met someone...you know...for a potential romantic relationship. But as life will have it, time always tells.

Being Extraordinary

As promised, here it goes...my eureka moment finally comes into manifestation.  In my last post, I was trying to explain the roots of the name for the blog 'Intraordinary', which is basically made up of the words 'introvert/introversion' and 'extraordinary'. It was purposely coined as the name for this blog to represent the amazing ways of an introvert. If you are an introvert, you would understand what I refer to (hopefully). From my conversations in the past few days, I have come to understand that there might be certain aspects of introversion that 'stand-out' the most.  It's the shyness or quietness part that was attributed to introversion. I really don't want to start going into detail about the subject as I have noticed I am already ...     straying ....                   off ...                            course ... I will try to put together something soon, but for now back to "Being Extraordinary". For this moment, I put asi
