do we really want to find the aliens?!
Imagine if we looked forward to things with an exciting attitude, rather than with fear?
more joy
An “everything” piece; Advocate for more joy!
remembering the plot
“don’t pointless things have a place, too…”
If busyness is all there is, then where are we supposed to assign time to the ‘living’ part of life?
the social media paradox
a Lagos album
So it was time to return to the West African coast, soak up all the sun and good energy laid in it. Lagos, Nigeria; a state so big, you constantly…

a different kind of self-care
The lurking fear of being incorrect
When we think of the word ‘question’, we don’t usually think ‘stupid’, right? We may instead think ‘curious’ or ‘answer’. It’s by assuming and getting things wrong that can eventually lead us to the right answers. Why don’t we acknowledge this enough?
Be Here Now
Partly inspired by a beach trip I didn’t know I needed. ‘Be Here Now’ is all about being present rather than letting the next thing constantly interfere with right now as there will always be something else that comes after. A live-in-the-moment kind of blog. Enjoy!!

why ‘Friends’ is still a phenomenon
Comedy is a subtle diversion from the not-so-blissful aspect of truth, of reality. Even in relatively serious moments on the show, like ‘The One with the Morning After’, there were still times you could sneak in a couple laughs…
the magic of light
Inspired by Tromsø, Norway and the Polar Night. A story of the sun not rising for months (literally), how we view light with optimism and appreciating its distinctiveness. You're about to be mind blown!!
inward shift
celebrating new things
The sensation of freedom is felt when your choice or your decision is prioritized, when it’s a matter of a risk you’re willing to take. The real question is “why not?”
winter is coming, but first…
Winter is coming but first, we have to watch the leaves fall gracefully from their trees, while the weather remains rather indecisive on whether to show us the full wrath of the sun or the initial coolness associated with the inevitable arrival of…
My first Broadway Show!!
I just watched my very first broadway show (Thoughts of a Colored Man) and it was poignant, poetic and beautiful . This is my new favorite New York minute.

Spontaneity is fun; like most things, there are benefits of carelessness up until it becomes a disadvantage but that conclusion should not be drawn too quickly.
a self-care edition
I didn't realize just how much I missed making self-care blogs till I wrote this! We all need time to unwind, relax and do things that make us look forward to the next thing.
