Your smile,
So worthwhile,
Wide and mild,
It never goes out of style.

You wore your smile so effortlessly,
From the time you were a child,
Until now, confident and mannerly,
You keep your worries behind.

The other day I checked your profile,
It was part of your signature style,
My heart melted at the sight of your smile,
It hid all the pain for a short while.

Your smile was infectious,
When you smiled at me I smiled back,
Walking around with a big grin,
Made someone else smile too.

Your smile lights up the room
And brightens my day like the moon,
A gift to my soul,
Making me aglow.

Who can wear a smile?
It doesn't cost a dime,
A baby, toddler, teenager, and adult,
It is never difficult.

We don't have to wear our problems on our sleeves,
And shouldn't be so hard on ourselves,
We all have a gift to share with the world,
Both young and old,
The gift of our beautiful smile,
Should be part of our lifestyle.

Wear a smile today for it is a food to the soul.


Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.

A Beautiful Heritage

Pinterest The waist beads are known as "Mgbájí" in the centralized Igbo dialect while another part of the Igbo calls it various names like "Ukwueleke", "Akaraukwu" or "Jigida" This is my beautiful and prominent heritage because I hail from a part of the Igbo land. "Imo state" to be precise. That waist bead is a very beautiful and essential ornament that is made of cowries or very expensive beads using a fishing line or a string to join them together. It is usually worn to beautify a woman's waist, which makes her attractive to the opposite sex and looks more feminine. The waist beads denote royalty, femininity, and fertility in my tribe. My mom told me how this waist bead is an essential part of our culture and a maiden attire on the day of her traditional marriage, known as"Igba Nkwu". No bride ever joked with this waist bead as her attire is never complete without the waist beads. Any man who seeks her hands for marriage...

It was on the 28th of October, 2022 at exactly 12:30 am, Debbie woke up that midnight feeling unhappy.  Source It was her 28th birthday, and unlike other birthdays this one was different, she felt like a loser simply because she felt she wasn't doing enough and today is another reminder that she was getting older, most of her mates were married with kids, and others work in a very big firm and living the lives of their dreams. The Birthday depression is knocking at her door. Debbie couldn't help but lay low in her bed to cry her eyes out, immediately her phone buzzed, it was a message from Jane her friend. "Hey Debbie, I've been trying to reach you since, how are you doing? Michael has proposed, babe we have a wedding to plan, please beep me as soon as you see this." She stared at the message for about 2 minutes, with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Wow, congrats", she managed to reply, she immediately turn off her phone and began to question her God, ...

Source I see "toxicity" in this picture. Have you ever come across Amanita Muscaria which is a toxic mushroom? Toxicity is detrimental to our health. This article is not about Amanita Muscaria, but as you read further you'd understand the need for the comparison. According to the  oxford language dictionary , toxicity means the quality of being very harmful or unpleasant in a pervasive or insidious way. Are humans toxic? Yes! Plants or fungi aren't the only toxic living things in the world, humans can be toxic too. What are toxic traits? Toxic traits are negative attitude that causes pain or discomfort to people around us. Here are some examples of toxic traits. Manipulation Self-centeredness Arrogance, Rude, and disrespectful. Perfectionism Judgmental Controlling/ violent. To mention but a few, just like the Amanita muscaria, though good-looking yet deadly, we might be physically beautiful yet our toxic traits might be deadly to those around us. The Amanita muscaria...
