I became creative today and I have to make a post of it. I am quite artistic, I realized this not too long ago and I started to explore this personality trait as much as I can. I started by investing in other languages, now photography and many more to come, watch this space. Each piece of photo is very significant to me. I really love this! The life I love and desire in a photo collage. Have you made a collage before? What are your desires in life? Can you put them in pictures? Let me know what you feel in the comments.

Hello readers, these are answers to two previous posts. What were questions that bothered you as a kid? How do people get into the TV? My beautiful brother answered, in his words “they normally go in through the sockets and the wires as tiny creatures and then they change to humans when they get inside the box, lol. Funny enough I believed that for an exceedingly long time as a kid. What question do you still have unanswered till now? Why do bad things happen to good people? I think everyone still asks this question in way till now. We may never get answers to that or we may explain it. Why did you stop or start asking questions? I started at the point I realized smart people are curious and it projects them into knowing more and better. It is a lot more easier these days with Google.com, I can ask without being judged, I can pose any question and I will get thousands of answers it is left to me to filter them using my moral correctness. To the Seven Questions (speci

One of the earliest adult songs I learned by heart as a little kid was a song by Johnny Nash “ there are more questions than answers ”, I heard it every week for years since it was an intro to a TV talk show. As I grew up, I realized those words were true. Are they not? There are many questions parents could not give answers to, many times teachers were lost even in their fields of specialization, a lot of inquiries  were purposely swept under the carpet by  religious leaders either because they were never told the answers too or they were too unbothered to find out. More importantly, many questions that bothered us and still bothering us as individuals and we are yet to find a clue, and which we may never till we are done. Questions increased as I grew, the peak of it was my teenage years, unfortunately there was no one to pose them to or sometimes I was not bold enough to ask adults those questions. Then I became an expert in monologue , I spoke to myself, ask ques

v What kind of thinking error could I be making? v What evidence is there that this thought might not be true (or completely not true)? v Is there an alternative explanation or another way of viewing this? v What is the most realistic outcome of this situation? v What is the effect of my believing this thought and what could be the effect of changing my thinking? v What would I tell a close friend or family member if he/she were in this situation and had this thought? v What should I do now?     I will answer these questions in my next post but I need you to think about them too before then...  

The struggle is real and the earlier one comes face to face with reality the better. It's funny how blogging helped me lose weight in the past and how I had left it for this long and kept struggling with my diets and exercise. I had to answer some questions today about some thinking errors I have been nursing over the years about weight loss and right now, I think I should deal with the questions and get myself out of this rut. If you will like to know, I have gained weight, lost the weight and lost more and gained even more since the last post here. The struggle is real my dear. It's my birthday tomorrow, I will post those questions and answer them too. Frankly, it's great to post here again. Maybe it was pre-matured for me to leave for a website. Trust me the struggle is real. See you soon then.

I told myself "I am back" in my last post but it would be one month in a few days and I am still not back, lol. Sitting to write with a lot on your plate is actually impossible or rather not doable. I have embark on journeys one too many within the past month that I feel like a stranger among my folks these days. I mean the trips and all the learning attached with it had given me new orientation and fresh insight for life, living and my weight loss journey too. On one of my trips, I caught a glimpse of a way of eating (WOE) called KETOGENIC. I have heard a lot about it since last year but I hated the whole idea of removing a whole food group just for the sake of loosing weight. I want to be healthy at any weight so fad diets don't appeal to me for any reason. Another reason ketogenic was having a bad rap with me was the fact I felt it's too expensive to maintain (I still feel it is). For the time of my life I hate any form of inconvenience, I am not a food addi

Hey friends and awesome readers, I had not been here in two months and it feels like forever right now. I have had a lot going on with me and I had been overwhelmed at some point and ready to give up but there is a desire and a drive from inside that wouldn't just let me. I am amazing, I am strong, I can do anything, Positivity is a choice and; I am prepared to succeed. There had been challenges here and there but I have learn to relax and watch on, some I stress myself over, others I leave to let them be, some I sleep over and others I discard them from inception. Read my post on Stress Management. Right now I look good health wise because I had been fasting, it was the Lenten 40 days fasting that triggered fasting for weight loss for me and I really think I am enjoying every step in the way. I love the idea that my digestive system is not perpetually overloaded with work, trust me I am seeing changes, even PMS is given way. I know I will be in good health even
