Sneakers, loafers, sandals, chelsea,
stilettos, wedges, platform, scarpin
I think it's fine to categorize shoes 'cause they serve different purposes

Dress pants, jeans, corduroy pants,
leggings, chinos pants, sweat pants
I think it's fine to categorize pants 'cause they serve different purposes

Black, white, brown, fat, athletic, skinny,
rich, poor, smart, introvert, extrovert, gay, lesbian, straight, Christian, Muslim
I don't think it's fine to categorize humans because we are all ONE from the same SOURCE with the same PURPOSE!

Falling in love sounds like jumping out of a plane
What if I'm scared of height!

Falling in love sounds like diving into a pool
What if I'm scared of water!

Or maybe...
Falling in love is as fun as jumping out of a plane!

Or falling in love is as cool as diving into a pool!

This phone in my hand coupled with internet is a key to an arena of information, access to vast knowledge but not necessarily wisdom

I see a staircase in front of me
Reminds me everyone is trying to climb up the ladder
It's a game of gaining relevance, accumulating riches and wealth

I see a very old couple
Helping each other climb the stairs
I said to myself
This is what love really is!

I can't question the validity of the question
Is there really God?
I know to some, that question sounds odd
There is someone out there who just wants to know for sure

Does God Almighty exist?
Or it's just another myth
They said He created heaven and earth, the moon, the stars and the sun

These questions burn in someone's heart
What does He look like?
How do I reach him?
Can I talk to him? Would He reply?
Does He really love us?

Of course, He loves us dearly.
Of course, He listens and talks to us clearly
He sent His Son to die for us freely
It takes faith to be His and know His ways
Jesus is the gateway to Him
His gate is always open to all!

It was 9 hours drive to Chicago
From my base, Toronto.

On the first day of the trip
It was 30% chance of rain but it rained heavily
My first lesson, I don't need 80% chance of success before I make a move.
We went under the rain and visited all the places we planned to, it was a lot of fun
My second lesson, don't let obstacles hinder you from making your moves.

On the second day of the trip
We were at Sky Deck, a tower to view the entire city from the top
But the weather chose to be foggy with zero visibility for the entire day
We left Sky Deck and did other things

On the third day of the trip
We faced Sky Deck and the weather was bright
My third lesson, sometimes you just need to be patient
We were at Sky Deck and the queue was the longest I've ever seen
And we couldn't get in
My fourth lesson, some things won't just work and it takes courage to accept that and move on.

We left Chicago and returned safely to my base
Grateful for a peaceful and fun filled trip.

Romans 13:10
Love is the fulfilling of the law
Such that overlooks flaws
Such that is expressed in words
Such that is expressed in deeds
Such that does good without taking turns
Such that expects no gain in return
Such that sees beyond the surface
Such that is forgiving
Such love is everything...
Everything needed for a fulfilling life

Four days, no contact
No calls, no messages
I'm doubting if this love is still intact
Or is it another impact

We used to talk for hours
Now, love has gone sour
Your voice used to be my source of power
Now, It's vanished like a burnt flower.

Making moves to be great involves taking risk
Refusal to make moves is also a risk

Not giving up on your idea when people say it's dumb is a risk
Pushing the idea aside is also a risk

Falling in love is a risk
Not falling in love is also a risk

Choosing a life partner is a risk
Not choosing one is also a risk

The choice to be good to people is a risk
The choice not to care is also a risk

So, maybe risks are unavoidable
Therefore, take those that are profitable

How about, we love one another genuinely
How about, we show understanding to one another
How about, we show some compassion
How about, we give listening ears
How about, we show some empathy
How about, we live life with contentment
How about, we eliminate greed in our endeavours
How about, we let go of backbiting
How about, we are more forgiving
How about, we give support to one another
How about, we show more loyalty
How about, we uphold integrity
How about, we let go of regretting and embrace forging ahead
How about, we protect our planet!

Quitting is...
An important thing to do
And an important thing not to do
You know those things that you ought to quit
And you know those things that you shouldn't quit!

A letter to an older me
This life is like an open sea
Everyone is trying to stay afloat
You have to man your own boat

Out here, it's really cold
It is every man for himself
They will say they love you but really they don't
You have to believe in yourself

In God only, you should put your trust
Keep your spirit elated
Keep your mind motivated
Keep your heart clean towards all men

Trust me, the sea will get stormy
Keep your eyes on God Almighty
Surround yourself with good company
Men and women with positive energy

Always follow your heart
It sure knows the path
You would make some mistakes
Learn as much as you can

Wisdom is a principal thing, get it
Expect less from people but be willing to help
Be full of gratitude, show it every time u can
Don't keep grudges, forgive but keep the lessons in your hands

Be positive at all times
Tough times don't last, tough people do
Don't worry, I believe in you
If I have more information, I'll send it to you

She didn't get toys when she was young
She finally got herself one... My heart!

Put the past in your past
But let the lessons learnt last
As long as you last.

I always try to make the right friends
Not those who wanna see my end
But those who bring out my best
Those that believe in my quest
Those that stick with me through my tests
Those that inspire me to invest
Those that share my interests
Those that keep my heart at rest
Those that live life with zest
That's what I watch out for in a friend

It's my duty to define who I am
If not, people will call me what I'm not
Or drive me around like a tram
Or treat me like I amount to naught

I'm a Lion who doesn't go about roaring
I'm a walking power and I'm not a boaster
I don't take no for an answer
Negative energy, I'm always rejecting

I'm all about loving
I believe in karma
I stay far away from gossiping
Still, I'm friendly, when you see me, please holla!

I promise to be the best
I signed myself an oath
In this ocean of life, I will row the boat
It's a cold world, I will keep warm in my coat

It won't always be easy
I don't want the easy-peasy
I will challenge myself
I will dare myself

My biggest competitor would be myself
I will not limit myself
I will encourage myself
I will always be the best version of myself!

The human heart is a world of its own
Access into it is one of the hardest things I know
The inhabitants hardly come out as well
And when they do, they disguise most times

They have a veil of sweet words
Often give you a different impression
It would take proper examination
To see the main intention

If you can take an aerial view of most hearts
It's darker than KitKat
Please when you find a pure heart
Give it the respect it deserves!

Sometimes, the difference between
True and false,
Yes and No,
Good and bad,
Truth and lie...
                             Is just TIME!

I gave Mrs Forte four fur floor mats in the fore part of Fall. All four had the same fault due to system's default settings set by Fox Fort.

Words so powerful, It cuts deeper than a knife
Words so powerful, it can start a strife
Words so powerful, it can take a life
Words so powerful, it can spark a light
Words so powerful, it can birth a smile
Words so powerful, it separates a fool from the wise
Words so powerful, it can heal any wound
Words so powerful, it can destroy, maintain, improve or create
Words so powerful, it can bring together like a knit
Words so powerful, it's lifespan can be infinite
Words so powerful, if it falls, you can't take it back!

I will do "this" task tomorrow
I think I've said that 7 days in a row
I wanna sleep now, I will do it when I'm awake
8am, I will start it after I watch this game
10am, alarm rings to watch an episode of my show
It's just 45mins long, I can't say no
11am, my friend wants to FaceTime
Oh, we haven't spoken in a long time
3hrs on the call, had to catch up on a lot of things
2pm, off to McDonald's for lunch
3pm, it wouldn't be bad to take a nap
5pm, let's see what's new on Instagram
Scrolling... Scrolling...
7pm, gotta fix my dinner
8pm, I'm not very effective at night...
I promise to do "this" task first thing tomorrow

Peace in the midst of the storm
In You only, I get this from
Strength to surmount the mountain
You make it flow from within me like a fountain
Wisdom for discernment
You have given me without measurement
Love to deal with myself and all
You lavished me, I didn't have to shop for it in a mall
I get asked about this beauty
Easily, I tell everyone You gave me freely
You're faithful in every season
Thank You for all your blessings!
