Thanks to Y'all

I sat on my bed and watched slowly as the hands of the clock, ticked off the hour of 12. My birthday, was officially brought to an end, even as the last birthday message barely made its way into my phone. As I read the message, with a slow smile creeping up my face, I realized one thing...this day, will always be one of the best days of my life.

My day was awesome, I was older, I was happy and content, I was surrounded by love and I got new perspectives on life. One of such - Relationships. The people we meet and interact with, form a greater and vital part of our lives. I received countless calls, and watched amazed as post filled my Facebook page. I couldn't but wonder how I got myself surrounded with these many great men and women. The highlight of the day, was when I received calls and messages from strangers who were merely obliged to a friend, but who from that day, transcended from mere strangers into men and women, whose names (Chichi, Joy, Tunde, Pamela, Bayo, Immanuel, Derek...) would forever find their way into records of my history. Hmm... Relationships, sometimes they are just all we've got.

Another is Impact. It's important to always remember, that it is not enough to simply meet and interact with people. The best part is being able to make an impact in their lives. I allowed myself the pleasure of feeling special as I viewed the love with which I was surrounded from family and friends. I would like to think, that in more ways than one, I have been able to make a positive impact in your lives...but if not, I do hope to accomplish that in the nearest future. My point is, let's live a life of impact; let's ignite a smile; let's wipe some tears; let's catch someone before they hit the ground; let's change lives.

So here I am, a year older (don't ask how old I am, LOL), and grateful for all things that make up this ME. A huge Thank you, to my family, friends, colleagues at work - even my boss, and to strangers-become-friends. All thanks to you, March 23, 2012 was a BLAST!!! I love you all.

My Daily Bread

The body of a goddess...that's how I thought of her. With shoulders slightly broad; making you think of just the right amount of comfort, narrowing down to her waist...the tiniest I had ever seen....then the roundness of her buttocks, with a firmness that made you want to grab them hard. Watching her undress was pleasurable, caressing every part of her with my eyes, taking time to linger on all the right places...a goddess amongst men. She stepped into the bathroom, leaving me eagerly waiting for her reappearance. I wanted to have her now...I shifted to ease the pain throbbing in the bulge between my legs. I waited patiently for her return...longest moments of my life. Ah!!! there she was. I felt like prancing on her like a Lion on heat, but I had to wait...I knew I had to wait. I did not want to scare her off, that's why I had to be discreet - even while watching her. I looked at my time; 6.25am - it was almost time, five more minutes and he would be gone. I had watched them...

Impacting your world...

Just yesterday night I was watching CNN Heroes and I saw so many young people with great potential of their own who have so few opportunities to explore or express it. Still, they bravely persist in striving to make their mark on the world, even in contexts of deprivation and conflict. In the course of our lives we have the opportunity to meet and possibly interact with people who’ve made measurable impact in the world, including well-known experts, authors, researchers, journalists, scientists, innovators, business geniuses, and entrepreneurs. Yet among these world influencers are also everyday people who have found a special niche in which they’ve contributed at the highest level. It’s critical to note that people who’ve made a real difference aren’t all privileged, advantaged or “special” people. Many have come from disadvantaged families, and crushing circumstances, but have found ways to pick themselves up and rise above their circumstances (and their genes) to transform their o...

The Acknowledgement

Like from a distance, I could hear my mother’s cry…more like wailings. She sounded like a wounded lion that was going to scream her heart out, as she repeatedly screamed my name… Adeola! Adeola! Adeola!! Unshaken I stood there staring at the body of my father….or at least the man who used to be my father, until a few minutes ago. I willed myself back to the room and the activity around me…the lifeless body of my father lay on the bed, with a knife poking out of his chest. The crimson color of his blood gradually taking over the once ash colored pajamas he wore. I had just stabbed my father in the chest…with a force ad precision that left no room for his survival. ******************************************************************************** The sound of the bell rang through the long corridors signifying the time for counseling sessions. Reluctantly I got up from my bed, dragging through the process of wearing my flops and throwing my shirt on. Buttoning up with the speed of a...
