So many things went down this week and yes, I paused and reflected. Pexel Firstly, I asked myself. What is life without genuine friends? It's not even about the number of friends but the quality of the few we have in our corner. So, last week I was quite under the weather, it started with just the regular headache which I thought was from stress, I decided to rest that day but the headache didn't even stop, it got worse. The next morning, I had already developed a sore throat, and a severe headache and was catching a cold. My country has been a mess with the cashless policy, Are you aware we buy money now? Well, that wasn't even my pain. My pain was the fact that I had money in my bank account but it seemed useless. Why? My bank's network was terrible it wasn't going through, At the outset of my sickness I had managed to visit a pharmacist, but I couldn't purchase a single drug because I had no cash on me since the cash has now become scarce like "true love...

Here is another edition of the  #Threetunetuesday   I have carefully chosen three tunes that show the value of family ties especially the role of mothers in our lives for this week. Keep the family close   by Drake. This song was released in 2016. I chose this song to remind us of how important our family is to us. Sure, we will always have friends but ask yourself, do twenty friends play together for twenty years? Truth is, we will fall out with some of our friends even our family members, however, the bond between family is very strong that though you might have made shitty mistakes in the past, they will always come through for you. The last word of famILY says "I Love you" when every other kind of friendship ends, the family will always be family. Here's a reminder to keep your family close, call your dad up, call your momma, and check up on your siblings. Family is everything. Dear Mama   By 2pac Shakur Released in 1995. This song is an appreciation for all the ...

Take responsibility for your action, When you're wrong, why do you push the blame onto someone else? You hurt someone, do you say you're sorry? To whom much is given much is expected. Pexel You're a parent? You have the responsibility to care for your child. A lover? Take responsibility for your actions, and stay committed. A worker? Stay diligent and honest in all your activities. Your life is a mess? Find a way to sort it out, and stop running away from what you fear or your ugly past. Where do you dump your trash? Do you remember to flush? Do you wash your hands? it's all on you to start healthy. Your life is worthwhile when you're ready to take responsibility for your action and ready to face each consequence of your decision.

Time heals all wounds, Time makes everything beautiful, Give it time, You'll smile again. Source Patience is a virtue, An attribute of the strong, Why give up now? You've come a long way. Just a little while longer, The outcome will make you smile, You might be struggling to see the result now, Stay positive, it's only a matter of time. Do you yearn to get that job? You've tried so hard, Don't give up, Keep holding on, when it's time you'll smile again. Do you want a baby? You've tried all you could? Keep holding on, you'll smile again. You tried once and failed? Give it time and try again, It takes time for the caterpillar to transform into a beautiful butterfly, Everything beautiful needs time. Take the time to nurture your dreams, Change your mindset, You can still be who you want to be, Just stay patient. The ability to stay positive while waiting, Is something we all should master. Whatever your heart desires, When the time is right, you'll ...

Source Immediately I saw this picture I quickly remembered a popular phrase that says... "There are two sides to a coin". This reminds me to verify every piece of information before broadcasting it. Wait, a rumor is spreading so fast, do you just believe it without hearing the other side of the story? Someone brought in an argument, do you just jump to a conclusion without hearing from the other party? This picture shows that there are always two sides to a story, to be a good mediator or "judge", one needs to take  time to listen and understand both sides before making any decision. It's sad to see people inherit enemies based on what they must have heard from people without listening to the other side of the issue. This picture reminds me also that there are different perspectives in life, I do not always need to view life from one angle,  "weigh each decision alongside their consequences". There's so much chaos in the world, yes nobody disputes ...

Why do you think society places such a high value on beauty when it serves no functional purpose? Have you ever wondered? Beauty deals with the physical attribute that is pleasing to the eyes (aesthestic). I think people place more value on beauty because of the attraction from and to beautiful things. Let's just say, Beauty is a selling point. For instance, would you as a man be attracted to a woman with bulging eyes, a big fat nose, and teeth bulging out of the gum or would you as a woman be attracted to a man with these features?  No insults intended. Hold on, why do you feel enticed to read a post with a beautiful thumbnail or beautiful caption even if you're not sure if the whole article would make sense? Beauty is a pull of attraction just like the way some insects are drawn to beautiful flowers to suck their nectar. Source I can dare to say that beauty especially physical beauty is the currency of attraction. Before a man walks up to a woman to woo her, he must be attrac...

I feel excited to share the three tunes I've selected today, I sure know it will leave you happier and motivated after listening to them. So for this week, I chose to go with two hip-hop and one RnB music. Shall we? J-Cole - Love Yourz!  (Hip-Hop) This song was released in 2014. This song is a soul-lifter, it reminds me to appreciate the simple things in life. When we feel people are doing better than we are despite how much we've worked hard, it can be frustrating and depressing, we sometimes wish to be like them no matter what it may cost us and then we fail to see that even in the little things we own we are blessed too. Talking about family, a breath of life, good friends, and the little things that put a smile on our faces are true blessings. What's money without happiness or a hard time without people you love?  -Jcole. These particular lyrics ring a bell in my head all the time. This song also emphasizes that though success and wealth are very important, if we fail t...

I see you broken and shattered, You've been played all over again, The world is selfish and you pay for it. Your heart bleeds for who will stay true, You crave commitment and loyalty, Accountability and transparency, Here I am standing before you, I beg you to please, Make my heart your home, Your haven, A shelter from the chaos of the world, A place you find peace and rest. Make my heart your own, where you can share your thought and never get judged for them, A place you get all the comfort and encouragement you need, You're safe here in my heart. Source Can I be the one you can trust? Can you give me a chance? I would never take your vulnerability for granted, These words I say to you are true and sincere. My heart is willing to accommodate you, When one sees the good in you, My heart will love you for all time, For the good times and the bad, Today, tomorrow, forever, and a day more. This I vow.. I will love you.. For all time till eternity. Thank you for stopping by, till ...

Louisa was a very close friend of Lisa, they shared practically everything. They shared love life stories, and their belongings and they were more like sisters rather than friends. It turned out that, Louisa had finally met the love of her life Jimmy, Jimmy was more like a prayer answered, he was everything Louisa had craved in a man. Jimmy on the other hand showered Louisa with so much love that she never had a moment to doubt all the love and times they'd spent together. One evening, Jimmy had asked to see Lisa,(Louisa's friend) at a resort, the reason was not far-fetched as they began their conversation. "So Lisa, how does Louisa prefer a proposal, private or public?" Jimmy excitedly asked Lisa, knowing she was in the best position to answer since he wanted it to be a surprise. "Private!, she doesn't like too much attention, so make it private, somewhere cozy just both of you," Lisa replied. Three days later. Jimmy had decorated his room with so many ...

Here are   #threetune s selected by me, that suit what I feel today. Black-eyed peas- Where is the love?" This song was released in May 2003. It's oldies but evergreen. The reason I chose this song is not far-fetched, I heard it's the "month of love" and then I ask myself where is even the love? When the world is now filled with cruelty and chaos, love has been replaced with trauma, something terrible happened to a friend of mine, her 12-years old daughter died mysteriously in her school during their school's inter-house sport. The whole news has gone viral. You can watch the video  here  on Instagram and see for yourself how callous and inhumane people can be. She's in so much pain demanding answers from the school authority on how her child died and everyone seems not to be bothered, she was told to accept her fate like that. Do I need to state that this is not the first time such a thing is happening in that school and schools around that axis? Whateve...

Source Happiness is a choice, Not just a feeling, Little things excite me, Because I've seen the good in every situation. So, I came out into the snowy grassland, To celebrate my little wins, All by myself. The winds were excited too, The sun shined bright, All of the natural elements, Celebrated with me. Happiness is a choice. Hooray! You don't need too much to celebrate. Just your mindset and a willing soul, That says well done for your little achievement. Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.

How do you know when you are in love? What are the signs? Source Love is a very beautiful feeling and being in love is the most amazing feeling ever. Suddenly, you're seeing someone new and you connected and talk almost every day, how do you know it's love? Here is what you should be looking for; You look forward to hearing from them every time, they become your happy place. You spend most of your time with them. Source You are willing to compromise to accommodate them. You think of them always. When you see someone coming too close you feel jealous. You share your moments with them,(how your day went, your wins and challenges). You feel protective of them and you feel like taking away their pain. You know you're in love when you can't imagine your life moving forward without that person in it. Being in love is a state of bliss, joy, and comfort. It is beyond buying or sharing the gift, sharing chats and emojis, it is deep intimacy. Love is feeling what the other person...

"It's a 50/50 thing, the chances of survival are slim", Doctor Caelum said looking into James' eyes. source This response left James weak as he looked hopeless, James held his striped Tee shirt almost about to rip them apart, as the tears dripped down his eyes. He walked quietly into the reception hoping for a miracle to happen and then he began to sing  "I need an angel song by R. Kelly"  immediately he went down on his knees shamelessly praying to God to send him an angel. Whenever he sights the Doctor, he stands up and before he would reach the Doctor, it was as though the Doctor had disappeared into thin air. His heart keeps beating fast, and this time it was as though the prayers weren't enough or it wasn't working. He begins to pace up and down the reception and peeps through the small hole in the theatre room door. His hands were shaky and sweat had soaked his shirt. He was too anxious to be at peace with himself. It was as though he should se...
