Kingsley My cousin arrived earlier this year for the Yuletide holiday, and every time I see him, I remember exactly this time last year how he was still battling to break free from drug addiction. He is gradually becoming a better person, and what more can I ask for in a holiday order than spending it with my lovely cousin? That morning, Kingsley was watching his favourite TV station while I was busy unpacking the groceries I bought last night, as I was too tired to do that yesterday. I heard a beep on my phone: "When am I coming for the fittings of my outfit?" Shola, my client's message popped in as soon as I finished responding to her; my eyes caught the time, and it was exactly 8:55 am." Kaycee, it's almost time for my favourite show; you'll have to excuse me for the next 45 minutes as I will be taking over the television," I told Kingsley, as I knew he wasn't a lover of K-drama. "Oh, okay, I am no fan of K-drama anyway," he responded im...

How's the weather over there? It's been a very hot season here until the rain decided to fall today and I am loving the weather right now. Since it is raining here, I got inspired by the rain because I was outside without an umbrella when it started but was helped by a good jolly fellow who shared her umbrella with me and then I thought, we all need an umbrella during the rain. However, the umbrella can be also figurative, which means we need people to run to during the hard days or storms in our lives. Which is why I will be sharing this song today. Umbrella - Rihanna ft jayz The umbrella can represent protection and loyalty during tough days. Do you have a figurative umbrella in your life? When it gets tough right now whom will you turn to? Can you be an umbrella for someone too? Empathy and compassion can be the driving force to being available for someone who is in dire need in turbulent times. Remembering, that the table can turn too will help us to stay humble while shari...

One Friday morning a few years ago, I visited one of my uncles, who was very affluent; it's been a while since I saw him, with the plan to go back home that same day; however, his wife wanted me to spend more days with them, maybe because she loved my aura and how I always lend a hand with house chores and other errands when I visited. "Do I call your mom to tell her you will be spending a few weeks more with us?" Aunty Tolani politely asked, and I felt that since they were affluent and had almost everything I needed to stay comfortable, it wouldn't be a bad idea. "Yes, ma'am, but I didn't carry enough clothes since I didn't plan on staying long initially," I added. "Oh, don't worry about that; I'll take you to the nearest shopping mall; you'll pick any outfit of your choice, shoes, and bags; you like that?" She smiled and patted my shoulder. In excitement, I ran off to hug her and say, "Yes, ma," I like that,...

Eventually, all things must meet their end. From dusk till dawn, they bloom until that fateful day. They bend, fall and die. There's no beginning without an end, Take heart in knowing that the troubles you face will eventually come to an end someday. Even the life we live is not promised and will come to an end, Make each day count while you are still alive, Bloom and thrive. Find solace and tranquillity and do the things that bring you the most happiness.. Because the once vibrant you will soon be fragile and softly we will surrender to Mother Earth. Just like a beautiful leave adorned in all its glory, Eventually falls and withers.. So all things will eventually come to their fateful end..

Yeah, it's the weekend and I decided to just live in the moment and  just dance! How do you manage your feelings when you are worked up? For me, I do good music which helps to ease my nerves but some days, even good music might not be able to calm one's nerves especially when one is tense. Something happened today that taught me to always live in the moment and keep my worries at bay. Most times we worry too much about the future even when we know we do not have control over it. Expecting too much can make the heart sick, which is why it is important to take a day as it comes. I have learned that time and chances overtake us all, October was a hell of a month filled with so many hectic activities that at a point I started to feel burned out, and I began to feel anxious as to what the outcome of those activities would be like. Thankfully, it ended in praise. Today, I began to feel anxious again, I have so many deadlines to meet, so many things are left pending and I am wondering...

Happiness is free and comes from the simplest things in life, leading a simple life I've derived joy from the simple gifts of life and some little objects around me. A perfect definition of happiness for me is waking up to my cup of coffee also known as  My peace pill  every morning, with some moment of introspection and quietness. The most beautiful smiles I've ever worn are while sipping my early morning coffee and inhaling the heavenly aroma that fills my mind with warmth, comfort and tranquillity. Morning dose of happiness By the side of my table lies a book of comfort,  the holy Bible  where I read the divine writings to gain insight for my daily living, a sort of guidance in this dark and chaotic world which lifts my spirit every morning, leaving me with some sort of unexplainable joy. My book and pen are just by the corner as well, a place I call my comfort zone, a place of vulnerability without a mask or filter, where I unleash my wild thoughts, feelings, fea...

Have you missed a diamond while you were busy gathering stones? Let's talk about misplaced priorities in relationships and friendships. When we want to have someone as a friend, we make a constant effort to reach out to them, it all begins with a  Hello  and then personal questions to know the likes and dislikes of the person and then constant communication to keep the friendship alive. More is even expected, forgiveness tolerance, patience, compassion and a whole lot more are needed to make the relationship wax stronger and then what happens when this person finally becomes our favourite person? Most times we become distracted by other activities in life and begin to put less effort than we used to, I've come to realize that friendships or relationships need constant watering to bloom and thrive. Most of the time we begin to take them for granted because we believe they will always be there for us no matter the trait we put up. This song I am about to share always strikes a s...

It started with my mind, I battled with many thoughts and doubted many possibilities. I began to run, run away from me, my worries and all the troubles. But tell me, how can a man run away from himself? I began to change my mindset and gradually began to roll my troubles to an unknown place, So that I can find peace and breathe again. I fell a thousand times, finding my way back home, I managed to raise my head high and look. My eyes saw hope standing in front of me, Reaching out to me with outstretched arms. If only I can crawl back home, then I will rise again. I won't give up, and I won't back down, this journey may seem long and rough, but I will find my way back. With a positive mindset, I can make it through! image    Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.  

"Good morning baby," Jay said softly as he planted a kiss on my forehead.."Hope you slept well?" he asked and I wrapped myself up all around his arms for some cuddles and early morning kisses "Yes, baby I slept well," I replied with a beautiful smile. "I made you coffee already," as he walked into the kitchen only to return with my favourite cup of coffee and some cookies. "Are we having breakfast in bed today?" I asked and looked at the love of my life with a sheepish smile. "Why are you being extraordinarily sweet this morning Jay?" I teased him. "I am sweet every day, but today I want to be sweeter," he replied poking me on my nose and then he placed the tray with a cup of coffee and cookies on the bedside table. "Here you have it baby, I will be in the kitchen doing the dishes," Jay said politely and walked into the kitchen. Eyes rolling  I began to suspect his extraordinary sweetness today, first, he m...

Life is full of uncertainties, Unforeseen occurrence overtakes us all, The house standing today might be in ruins tomorrow, Nothing in life is promised. You that you are still standing, Why do you mock the one that has fallen? Beware, for you might fall too. Do not boast about what you have for it might be in ruins tomorrow. A home might be desolate tomorrow, Seeking those whom we love, Death might be knocking unexpectedly, This is a reminder that life here on earth is futile, And even the works of man might be in ruin - all vanity. Take one day at a time, Why do you fuss over what you can't control? Why do you dwell on your past? Life isn't promised, do all you can today for tomorrow might be too late.
