I am something of a perfectionist, I like to have my i-s dotted and my t-s crossed. I like to have things planned out. I love structure. I love organized. My computer desktop has only a few folders and you can be sure each folder has to tick the ‘important’ check box to make it Read More

Grace For ‘Abandoned’ Projects
As I write and share this, I know deep within that this is one post that I will need to constantly read back to myself from time to time. About two years ago, I started working on a certain pet project (which we shall hereafter refer to as Project P) and the excitement with which Read More
Silence not so awkward
We lay on our living room sofa at about 8pm one beautiful day last December. It was just us – us against the night and for a moment, there was an awkward silence. Not because one of us had said something untoward to the other but because the silence was really all there was to Read More
It’s Going According to Plan
It’s been a whole new ball game entirely, the past few months. Quite the ride I must say. I’m absolutely having a great time in my new life but it’s a little tough sometimes. You know how getting back into the whole school routine can be after you’ve been out in the labor force for Read More
Of Crossroads and Choices
Have you ever been caught in the web of two or more mutually exclusive choices (meaning they can’t occur together)? Not choices of what to eat or drink but choices that can affect your life in other weighty ways asides nutrition? I think that at several points in our lives, we will find ourselves at Read More
When You Could Have Said or Done Better
We’ve all been there. Felt like we could have done or said something better, basically committed errors. The other day, I was chatting with a friend over the phone and I didn’t know when I blurted out ‘foolish girl’ in the flow of our chats. Of course, it wasn’t meant to be offensive, it was Read More
Rest; Sweet After Labor
I know it’s only February. The month where we’re trying to recover from January – whatever that means. Plus it’s busy season (those who are affected already understand). And so it’s a little bit weird to be encouraging anyone to rest or take vacations right now. But I dare say that there is no better Read More
Learning Faith, Unlearning Fear.
I originally wrote this article three years ago but for some reason, I shoved it away in some hidden folder on my computer. Well hello 2019! And cheers to exposing the skeletons in our cupboards (the good kinds) this year! A couple of edits here and there for the purpose of publishing here. I hope Read More
Our Medley of Personality Differences
“I appreciate your uniqueness as an individual, but I can’t deal.” I may have muttered this to myself at different times in my life about a number of individuals. It’s understandable if you have, too. In life, we meet and relate with different kinds of people. But it’s not always the other person. You and Read More
The Self-discipline Bug
“In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves, self-discipline, with all of them came first” – Harry S. Truman. The Oxford dictionary describes discipline as the practice of training a person to obey rules or a code of behavior (paraphrased). In line with this definition, Read More
