I’m counting my BLESSINGS!


                                                            

Hello wonderful people! Trust you are doing great but if this didn’t meet you well, that’s okay but would you believe me when I say... there’s definitely light at the end of every tunnel and He who has brought you this far, will never fail in His promise for you. Would you? I sense a YES. Cheer up darling! You are a star... you are meant to shine bright and you will! I love you too. ❤️🤗

I sincerely want to express my profound gratitude for the reviews and comments on my last post. It gladdens my heart that the message was well received and my prayer is that may we and the children within and around us not cross paths with people like Uncle Seun or Damilare (fictional characters in the story). Amen. Thank you all. You have been nothing short of amazing!🥰

This particular post is long overdue, to be honest, even at the point of wanting to write. I truly wanted to write about something else but the lyrics by Sinach in one of her tracks titled “He did it again” kept  beeping in my head and before I knew it, my mouth and body sang and danced to the melody (you needed to see my dance-steps, you will literally spray me plentyyyy money! It was too pleasing to watch. Dancer l’omo! I joke!😂) In that euphoria, I knew there was no postponement anymore.

And am I excited to share this personal experience with you? Yes, of course and without hesitation anymore!.

So, here goes, on a particular day, in my quiet state, my thoughts ran wild! It didn’t feel like I was thinking of anything in particular. My thoughts just decided to go on a journey and at some point, I realized I was in a particular space and I found myself doing something that brought so much tears to my heart first. Yes, my “heart first” because at that moment, in that confined space, I felt heartbroken with... myself! And before I could touch my chest to feel the extent of the heartbreak, I was teary! I found myself crying so much. It was so emotional.

I felt terribly weak yet strong, painfully broken yet so at peace. 

The whole gush of emotion was as a result of me counting MY BLESSINGS! And in that state, I realized I could not keep it to myself. Nothing mattered anymore! because all I wanted to do was say  THANK YOU!.

Like I literally had a lot to request for but I couldn’t bring myself to ask. I felt my spirit, soul and body come together in unison just for one purpose... to say THANK YOU!

I let myself go and the tears would not stop coming. It was bliss!. 

I thanked Him for everything... For my family. For His divine protection and guidance. For the highs and lows. For every mistakes and challenges faced. For His love and faithfulness. For tomorrow which isn’t guaranteed. For the future He promised and I see. For the beautiful people He has strategically placed in my life. For every answered and unanswered prayers. For good health. Generally, for everything and everyone that concerns me.

 I felt so grateful. I mean, who am I? A very unworthy person yet He looks down on me from Heaven and thought I deserved His love, care, affection and attention. This type of love...!

The lyrics of Nathaniel Bassey’s “Imela” which means “THANK YOU” speaks so much to me at the moment and I’m loving it!.

Till tomorrow, in years time... I’m certain I’ll never stop counting my blessings and forever be grateful to His name. So help me God, Amen! 🙏

Until next time and as always, I send love, light and strength your way. Thank you so much for taking the time-out with me (Cathy) and please do not forget to break new grounds, do great exploits whilst ensuring you count your blessings and be grateful for everything. I love you and that’s no joke! 😘🤗❤️

The transformation to a Beast!

Photo   credit :  Google   images My name is Damilare and Uncle Seun turned the beautiful soul in me to a beast... Who will save me now?. He (Uncle Seun) wasn’t exactly my “Uncle”. He was an orphan who Daddy employed to work for the family and I grew to call him “Uncle”. I mean, he thought me all I needed to know as a child from helping with school assignments, football, play station, prepping me for school and the likes. I believe he did that job well. Whatever he did for me and to me was very much commendable. He did it perfectly well. The five-year old me idolized him as my mentor. He was everything to me. Well, my parents were never available. They were all up for travels and business meetings. I remember, I used to miss them initially but as time went by, the love I had for my parents was quickly replaced with the love I found in the comfort and happiness Uncle Seun provides. He was my happy place. My sixth year birthday was coming up soon...

A letter to my Older self.

Dear Catherine, You have no idea how excited I am writing you this and it's not because it's Christmas today. I have been wanting to do this for the longest and today just seemed right!. Also, I have seen posts from a few people writing to their older selves and I figured you deserve one too. You think so, right?. Indeed.😊 So, how are you?... uhmm, first, hollup ! I will need you to take a deep breath before answering. I'm curious to know how my older self is faring. Tell me...don't hold back...let it out and be honest. How are you?. I want to know everything! * rubs palm* Currently... I think you are a sweet soul. You love a positive atmosphere. You love good music... it doesn't matter if you don't understand the lyrics but good music always finds a way of lifting your mood. You sing the loudest even when you are sure of not getting the notes right. You are focused yet nonchalant and playful. You are a loyal friend. In friendship, you appreciate honesty at its...

The KEEPER'S words...

Have you ever been in a situation where it feels like there is a battle between your mind and the voices in your head?. It's like a supremacy battle. However, you want to be careful to follow the right voice, lest, you may stumble. You know that moment when you really want some 'quiet' inorder to take that next step... you can hear the voices in your head screaming in support of what it is beckoning you to do but the mind says otherwise and you wonder why can't these two agree! Why do they have a mind of their own?.  You say to yourself " I am in charge " to the point that you now totally believe you truly are but are you truly in charge?. You actually look helpless😏 In a way to caress your ego into believing you are indeed in control, you run straight to your arsenal (forgetting to say hello to the one who is in charge of that arsenal). You pick up all the necessary weapon you figure you might need for your show of power. The funny thing is, now you have the...
