Let's Have Some Fun Today!

O-M-G! It's the end of February already. Is the year running so fast or is it me? *checks the calendar* It's the last Saturday of the month o. We did have some fun on the last Saturday of January. (The square counts. Remember?) So I'd like us to play again. *jumping like a chick* Yeah lovelies, let's play!

In the picture above is a puzzle of rays. There are more than 30 positive rays you can find. Here is how to play:

1. You will pick any of the rays you find/like
2. You will describe the ray in less than 4 sentences or
3. You will tell us how your February went in less than 5 sentences. That's all.

PODCAST: The Blessing of Family

Hiya! It's another Friday! *grinning like a bear* you know how we roll. Last week, I told a love story which about 90% of those who listened enjoyed, and went further to suggest that I tell more stories. Well, it won't be a bad idea to be a storyteller once in a while. I can be called a grandmother-in-training. Lol. Anyways, I've decided to ROL (Read Out Loud) once in every month (which might probably be on every third Friday). Yayy!

Meanwhile, it's a wrap up on the theme of Love for February. And I have Cynthia in the studio with me today. It's a gist on "the blessings of family". While she's doing the talking, I'll be doing the laughing. Lol.

Family is the most important thing in the world. Family is where life starts and love never ends. You are blessed to have a family. Never take your family for granted

NEWS: Yay! No more Sex on Blogger

Let's not lie, sex sells. In fact, it is the main focus for any product to be marketed. It's always like Let's have sex on this idea. This is not a new concept to anyone who works in the media and advertising industry like me. We (I dare not exclude myself) use this idea to get more viewers, more listeners and more traffic. But what happens when the "oga at the top" says no display of nudity or sexual activity is to be permitted anymore? Gobe!

No more Sex on Blogger

Hehhehe. . . I'm so excited about this news jhorr! Good news literally turn me on.

POEM: Dream so Loud

Thereafter I had a stressed out heart. I wrote this short poem in the early hours of this morning. . .

Dream So Loud

My dream so loud
That it wakes me up
I have to get ready
To do and be my best
Thought it's still dark
The sun will be out soon
When the light will shine

POEM: Stressed Out Heart

I felt not-so-cool yesterday (and I didn't want to blog rubbish). So I wrote this poem as a great relief. I do hope this helps you out of depression, anxiety, and all other forms of worry too.

Stressed Out Heart

All words are in cluster

Even pictures are blurry
I can't pin them in
I need to gather my thoughts
But there is a blockage
Which power is behind this?

I've got a funny feeling that some people will misunderstand me after listening to what I have to share. Right now, I'm already getting the hits on Twitter. I'm scared o . . .

Self-love is not selfishness

Love Can Be Nurtured

I slept off while drafting this post last night. I was too tired that I forgot to save it. Jeez! So I had to start all over this morning. How challenging it was for me. Phew! You bet it was more than this. . .

Love Can Be Nurtured

LOVE is humorously defined as "A feeling you feel when you are feeling something you've never felt before". Basically, love is having something special in your heart for someone. It is a feeling of intimacy.

12 Inspirational Quotes To Make Me Blog Some More

And God called Samuel three good times, "Samuel, Samuel. . .Samuel, Samuel. . .Samuel, Samuel. . ." Aha, look at it closely, God literally called Samuel's name six times sef.  But God never once said, "Amaka, Amaka, go to blogger, sign up and start blogging!" No, He didn't. Not even once. *phew* LOL.

So there are certain days when I be like, "Come, Amaka, na who send you message? you are tired. you've had a long day. You don't have to post anything now"  That moment when life gets tough and we need that little something to keep us going. These are the quotes that inspire me to post once more.

Money is not Wealth

Oh, boy! I had a long talk with my boss this morning. You know, we normally have weekly reviews every Monday. It used to be the conventional sitting-round-the-table with your screen and all. But this one was spontaneous. We gisted. We had a talk! Choi, I wish I had recorded it. We spoke about many different things. It was very interesting. . .and revealing too!

I am so excited to share some of them with you. I just can't help it. Or can I? *giggles*

POEM: GOD Knows

This is the shortest and sweetest poem I've ever written. I heard it in the midst of a storm.

When you feel your life is slow
That you've got nothing to show
When your friends are all in glow
And it makes you dwell in the low
God says: "Worry not, I know."

Have a great week!
