  A lot of times when we hear the word blessing we think of ourselves or a friend whose name is blessing (I have quite a few😂),  but today i will like to encourage us to look at the word from another angle which is “being a blessing to others”. As much as receiving is great, its also nice when we give and when we are the reason for the smile on someone’s face❤️ So as you expect blessings today i hope you are a blessing too.

 Paradigm Pieces PIECES I like Love; I am a romantic, I like the idea of two souls connecting; But I've never found love. Where I come from; Only royalties can afford Love. First time I fell, It was a rollercoaster; I had butterflies and felt things in places I didn't know I had, I never knew anyone could mean so much to me, I would have given my life for her; Eventually, I did She tells me she loves me, Apparently, she loves many others, She says; She has a big heart and so there's enough to go around, What I thought was special, Turns out I am just one of the piece in a whole game of chess. She is queen; Even knowing I wasn't her one and only, It didn't matter to me, As long as I was part of her folly; Day and night, At her beck and call; Taking whatever affection she throws my way, Tonight, she tells me to go away; I'm too soft and no longer fun, She says Broken and alone, In distress and without hope; I wonder, Is this the Love I prayed for? Am I a victim of...

 Sojourner's Diary: SEASONS Time flies like a thief in the night We all got a story to write So darling jump in the ride Before the train is gone - Burna Boy It was a sunny afternoon as I sat under the tree in my backyard hitting my last jay from the stash, waiting for a call from one of my favourite humans in the world and listening to Burna Boy, I looked up at the tree in the backyard of the compound that had served as my home for the past six months of my life. Wow... Six already?! Anyways, I looked up at the tree and realized what had attracted my attention was the dead leaves dropping rhythmically from the giant tree (I don't know what tree it is). She called. The call I had been waiting for, anyways, her dad called her so we'll leave that and move on till she calls again. When I looked up at the tree I realized my shield from the baking lokoja sun for six months was slowly dying. They were dead leaves all around it. Like fallen soldiers in battle. The trunk of the tre...

 2020 SURVIVAL KIT LOVE: This love thingy can be difficult at times. I did have this idea that you gotta be loved by people. I didn't know how that came to be, but years ago I did realized how much pressure I put on myself for others to like me. That was tricky. I mean I'm this weird beautiful human being with lots of worth and lots of love. I realized that maybe I didn't love myself enough that's why I struggled so hard when others treated me differently or badly. So guess what I did? I started peeling my layers one after the other, learning about this beautiful body my soul had inhibited. I learned so much about it that I protected it and fought for it. We all are filled with so much love and this year, this particular year is really time we show ourselves how appreciative we are. This is the year we spread those love and refuse to take shits when it's uncalled for. MONEY: I ready don't need to tell anyone how much energy money can give you. It's like powe...
