These Women you see

There are so many women who I can mention who have impacted and continue to impact my life greatly.


I have been raised by different women from different parts of the world. Everywhere I have been, God sent women that loved me so much sometimes I wonder. 


I recall my primary school teacher who really supported me and celebrated my wins, I remember how she smiled whenever she called my name and said something encouraging and beautiful. I remember my primary school headmistress who loved and supported me. In high school, I met women who yet again were never reluctant to shower me with love, to support me, to speak to me, and to mentor me. Women who left a blueprint on my heart and really did set me up for the best that life has to offer.


I mean not only through their words did I learn but also through their actions as they listened to me attentively when I went to them and spoke about different matters of life, they did not dismiss me or give me an impression that what I was saying was not making sense at all. Instead, they listened, they paid attention, and afterward, they spoke to me candidly, their words covered in love and virtue, they really did want me to learn and get the best out of life. 


So on this lonely road that I walked, they came and hugged me and assured me that they had my back.  The same remained true as I transitioned to Japan, a foreign land non I knew. Yet again, God timely sent women my way, women who built my faith, women who cheered, and stood by me when I was in the blink of giving up and losing it.


Still today in my present journey I have women full of love, faith, and grace. Women who I look up to and desire to learn more from. They love me unconditionally and really fight for my well-being and my going on.


This would not be complete without mentioning Aunt Nalucha, who plays a significant role in my life. She has loved and cared for me so much. You inspire me greatly aunt, thank you for teaching me to give and to love fearlessly.


This is why to me, the word Woman means so much. I mean it means; mentor, coach, cherishing, nurturing, loving, powerful, strong, capable, warrior, conqueror, inspiration. I am so grateful to all the women who have poured so much into my life and have loved me so much. To those I had and to the ones I have now, thank you, may God in his glory and riches bless you abundantly. You make my life so beautiful. I am because you are


Thank you for giving me priceless treasures of love, care, and support and for giving me the ability to never doubt my abilities. Your values I still cherish today and the lessons I implement. Happy women's day to you

Final Semester of College

Image
I’m a college graduate! !!! I graduated with two degrees. A Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance. How do I write about what this moment means to me when it means more than I could write, but let me try to put it into words. For one I am deeply grateful to be able to get to this point. My life has been nothing short of miraculous. It has been so magical. The twists and turns. The planned and the unexpected. Four years ago, I left home for the second time—this time embarking on a journey whose path was uncertain, but one thing was clear: I was going to learn and grow.    Last Semester of Senior Year At the beginning of this semester, I was both nervous and excited. How did I get here? Where did the 4 years go?  I took 6 courses and 18 credit hours.  lol, I know. It was a grind until the end for sure. I thought I would have a chilled last semester with 12 or even 15 hours but no, here I was with 18 hours.  Courses taken...

Finding Joy

Finding Joy  The deep sense of satisfaction, where all feelings felt are good, and the mind, body, soul, and spirit are at peace. Once I found this joy, I knew that it wasn’t going to feel this way forever. I did not want to deceive myself, for I know now with the years gone by that it is indeed true that there is time for everything, so a day where there is grave pain and sorrow will come, I mean I wish it wouldn’t, I would welcome feeling joyful every day. But I want to remember to hold on tightly on the days when I do experience this joy. It is tempting to dwell on the grave pains and sorrows of life that we do not even allow ourselves to feel, sit, dwell, or soak in the blessing of joy when it comes, so this was me calling on me to remember to soak it all in, to sit in it and feel it fully for all that it is. So I sat and asked myself, where does this joy come from? Is it in the people I surround myself with? Is it a place, is it a thing? Is it in the accolades and accomplishme...

End of 2024 Reflection

How is the year already coming to an end? They meant it when they said the days are long and the years are short. Didnt we literally just celebrate New Year? I think as I get older, the years are beginning to just fly by. The best we can do is enjoy every moment and opportunity we have here on Earth's surface.  I started off my year in Memphis Tennessee, I visited my boyfriend's family. I am really grateful that they invited me and I got to spend time with them. I haven't spent the holidays with my family in a very long time and this time with Xays family was very precious. We then came back to Oklahoma, just in time for my birthday which I spent with Xay, we spent some precious time together and I took time to just pose and reflect on the Goodness of God. It's interesting how close my birthday is to Christmas and New Year, I feel like I have a whole month where all I do is celebrate and when it's all done, I go into the year head-on until December comes around agai...
