A blend of what life can give us.

Rapturous joy, belittling challenges, confusing emotions.... say it all. A pot with a myriad of content, that is what life is for sure. All that I have learnt; too many yet too little to tell, one that has stood out "stoically" is that the "Love of God is pure when joy and suffering inspire an equal degree of gratitude. -- Simone Weil"   So to coin a little script, Believe has never been easy, with every bit of passing gray, A mountain, a backdrop, A life's loop, How mysterious is every breath, with death's last sad as wreath, Say gratitude with every awakening.  Let you God be your guard. We sojourn earth with no reckon, as mother nature slowly beckons, Tears, joy, laughter, pain and gain, all is a tale smooth like the loin, Live today, cherish tomorrow, Least the devil forcibly makes a borrow,  It's pale, yet a future stands on a hollow. Forever, try and be glad, Smile and give a shoulder, someday you will ne...

Walking the Talk.

So when it comes to mending tears and walking talks, the real task takes shape. How about fulfilling your day with a nice word to your friend, neighbor or even to yourself? Courage to transform dreams into reality and a bit of self-esteem to tell yourself that you are going to make it! Here is a bit of what I always say to myself when I am up to a task, "Make it work! Make it work oy oy oy"! Regardless of the rumbling feel in your stomach and that quick-to-notice anxious face, you going to make it. Someone once said, " If someone offers you a wonderful opportunity, and you don't have the slightest inkling on how to go about it, TAKE IT!!, then learn how to do it later!!" As you make your daily living this August, take a step and be kind. Forgive when wronged ,  apologize when in fault, smile because you never know, you might have just made someone's day. Lend a hand and don't forget to love yourself, you are the source and with it comes great fruit....

Manning Up Craze. Where many go wrong.

There is a misconception that we as humans, make when getting into relationships; mutual or not. We all think it’s all about a bed of roses, bright alleys filled with cupid’s melodies and the weirdest of all, and a 24hr love merry-go-round with no conundrums. Well, that’s a myth, viable only in dreamland. A closer examination to what these unions really mean, impact and affect human life is outrageously immense. Over time, thousands of literal heads, think-tanks, and even those without the slightest inkling of what relationships are, have contributed into this complex realm. I call it so, because it is a daunting task to define what it really is.  Everyone is entitled to their own personal view, I too have mine, and if it comes out odd and obnoxious, well, it’s my opinion. I am simply having my cake, and sharing it. From time immemorial, the world has brandished the human male species as a tough lot. To break it down, we live and grow in societies that expect man to man-up ...

Goodbye The Month of May.

The month of may has come and gone so fast, with it are many things too. Yet the thirty one days remains a mystery to many of us who go through countless events and occasions that takes place during this period. There is an African story about this month that is "affectionately-nostalgic" that used to cap this wonderful month. It's quite a long one, Read it here: African Story about May. As as we bade it farewell, I would love to share quite some normal but amazing facts about this month. Apart from it being one of the cutest Julian or Gregorian months of the year, quite a large number of people celebrate their birthdays during this month. May is a month of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and spring in the Northern Hemisphere (summer in Europe). Therefore May in the Southern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of November in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa. Factually, No other month begins or ends on the same day of the week as May in any year. This...

The Greatest Gift.

Sharing is a word, that few understand. The Oxford simply explains sharing as " have a portion of (something) with another or others"  It goes forward to say sharing is "use, occupy, or enjoy (something) jointly with another or others." That greatest gift is the Joy of a gift shared; That giving of ourselves, Our time, Our encouragement, Our resourcefulness. That greatest gift is the giving Of ourselves to a worthy other, So that special one can enhance The value and number of his or her Gifts to the world. So let us give and spread Our love and joy by giving through The gift of ourselves to another; Let us be blessed by the satisfaction Of giving so that we can receive The greater gift of renewed fortune To give once more of ourselves. Cheers friends.  Loughran
