Inner circle  Noun A small, intimate, and often influential group of people. Sourced from Dictionary.com I celebrated my birthday lately. My 27th birthday - and as most people tend to do at the turn of a new year or season in life, I took to reflecting. Reflecting is a normal part of me, as my personality (introvert) and sometimes I feel my genetic make-up allows me to. As I pondered over many aspects of life in general and of my life over the past days, I realised that I have not experienced the beauty of togetherness to a certain extent. In specific detail, in my twenty-seven years of life, I have never been to a baby shower, a bridal shower, a hen-night, a friend’s wedding and don’t even mention a slumber party. No. Nada.

Hello Intraordinary Family! Happy New Year! I say this both as a greeting and a declaration that at the end of this year, we will conclude that it has been one that has brought us happiness. 2018 started with a lot of anticipation of good things to come for some of us; some of us may also have felt a bit indifferent before and after the stroke of midnight. Feeling non-chalant peharps with a slight bit of hope that all things work well for our good. To be honest, I am of the former thought and of the latter thought. I am totally in expectation of great things but I am also somehow indifferent because I feel that these great things happening depend on my thoughts, decisions, confessions, actions and attitudes...and to be honest, I don’t have these on lock. Over the years, I have also not always taken the right decisions. So today someone asked me, “What are your plans for the year?” To which I responded  “I don’t have plans, I have goals” You know why, because I am
