| Feel The Fear ... But Do It Anyway!!!! |
| Sunday, March 21, 2010 |
So I'm starting a new job tomorrow after months of not working. My stomach is churning in fear because these jobs are stressful!!! I know, I know I should be lucky to have a job in this economy but damn I wish I didn't have to work. But its okay, I'ma be there, bright and early.
This upcoming event in Memphis is beginning to stress me out. I have talked it so much and started investing too towards it so with a few obstacles that have come up, I feel like giving up. So I have to pray about it and NOT worry about it. I really still wanna go for it. I just hope it pans out the way I want it to.
Wish me luck! |

| Blogging Is Soooo Easy |
| Thursday, March 18, 2010 |
| Not!!!! Haven't been here in almost a year. Ha ha. Tons of things have happened since then. Got married, about to start a new job and I guess all that jazz. Just wanted to say hi. Lots of things are happening, its hard to know where to start. My weight is still up. i think I'm gonna concentrate on getting that down cos I'm too fat ... not 10 or 20 lb fat but real fat as in 70 lbs. Gotta work that out, I really do. I have got back on phentermine. Wow, its amazing. That thing takes away all my appetite. I have to force myself to eat when my head starts aching. I have also started walking. You know, I live a few minutes from the Mississippi River with a beautiful trail for more than 3 years and never really took advantage of it. Now I can miss walking on the days I can't do it. The breeze coming from the river calms me down and I walk for one and a half hours. Even my honey was impressed. I just wonder if the scale will be impressed But God is my strength and I know I can do it. There is a cute festival coming up soon that I really want to enter for .... if I can get past my procrastination. But I can and will do it. Just have to line up some stuff. More on that to come.
How have you been? |

| When You Leave .....Love ad nauseum |
| Thursday, February 26, 2009 |
Love unloved
Can't bear to think of you leaving
Can't bear to see you not here
My heart's breaking
My soul's shaking
I'm gonna miss you
With all my soul
all my breath and all my tears
I pray we meet again
breathe again, love again
My heart's aching
I'm gonna miss you

| Happy New Year *wink, wink* |
| Monday, January 26, 2009 |
Well, at least I said Happy New Year in January. Things are going ok. This year I decided would be my year of entrepreneurship so I had decided to trade on Ebay, craigslist and any other possible place. It can be fun for real.
I always feel as if I have nothing to say any time I get on here, thats funny because so many things happen all in a day. Well just wishing everybody the best of 2009 |

| Christmas Love |
| Monday, December 15, 2008 |
I think Christmas is always fun times you know, you visit people, chill with friends and buy gifts ... sometimes. I really don't get into all the gift buying and my excuse is that we didn't really do that in Nigeria, haha But anyway, much love people. Life... not easy. Love .... sometimes overrated. Too many things going on people.
You know sometimes when you take a moment to reflect on your life (and here I go being all mushy and sentimental again) you can't help but thank God. At least thats how it feels to me. Don't get me wrong, if I start listing things that not ok in my life, we will be here forever but it always feels like invariably, God has shown me mercy and for that I cannot stop thanking Him. Like the song goes "After all these starts and stops, we keep coming back" it seems that is the relationship we have with God, we move away so quickly, get caught up in so many other things but God can call you to attention with a quickness! All those things we take for granted about our lives like our family, jobs, health and other things.
Lord I thank you. For all those other times I haven't thanked you, I thank you today. I pray you will always lead in my life. Amen and amen.
Have you thanked Him today?

| The Way I Am |
| Monday, December 01, 2008 |
So believe it or not, growing up, I couldn't wait to be an adult because I sincerely believed that being older automatically came with maturity and more sense. Yeah right! Now I'm older, I realize that age has little or nothing to do with maturity.
Now I know that maturity comes with learning to toss the divalicious behaviors, holding your tongue with you are almost bursting with some well deserved insults and abuses for somebody, taking a deep breath before you toss that plate at somebody's head or a heavy handed slap.
Now I know that maturity is learning, both from your own experiences as well as other people's experiences. Holding your head up high in the middle of negativity and carrying yourself with some dignity and class. So not easy but so worth it in the end.
I talk about this because I remember cussing out one of my "friends" so badly that she never spoke to me anymore. I don't regret it because she deserved it and she admitted it herself. But I wonder if I should have handled the situation differently.
One of my biggest problems in friendshipland is that I have a tendency to be too brutally honest in my opinions. Not always the best way but I really detest all these so called friendships that people laugh in each others face and stab each other behind their backs. It really scares me.
Don't give me your friendship if all I am is fodder for your gossip with other people. Because unfortunately I have a tendency to tell all my business which I am learning is NOT the best way to operate cos the truth is, you really can never tell who your friend is until something happens.
And that is the truth.
Love, lala |

| About Me |
|
Name: lala
Home: Memphis, Tennessee, United States
About Me: I'm an introvert. I love challenges and the "path less taken". I have discovered that life more of a journey than a destination so I try to enjoy each day. And if you've never failed at anything then you haven't tried anything outside your comfort zone. Right now, I have a love/hate relationship with Memphis. I love the city because the people are very friendly but careerwise, this place will be a dead end for me.
