I found this story on livin3.com and decided to share… A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted… “Dad, look the trees are going behind!” His Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed… “Dad, look the clouds are running with us!” The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man… “Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?” The old man smiled and said…“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got … [Read more...]
Midweek Encouragement – Rise Above It
Happy Hump Day Everyone! I hope you are having the most fabulous week EVER! Okay so, one of my mentors sent me a story last week. Disclaimer: I did NOT write it and I honestly don't know who did so I can't give credit. But the story made my life that day so I decided to share, with the hope that it would do the same for you.

Who are your True friends?
Okay so, my Paulo Coelho book for October is The Zahir. Context: Back in March, I decided to embark on The 12 Months of Paulo Coelho - whereby I would read one Paulo Coelho book a month.

Anyho - so I'm reading The Zahir and I came across something I really wanted to get your thoughts on: Our true … [Read more...]

My Subway Love
Years ago, one of my sisters saw a guy in the train, asked "are you Ekene's friend?" the guy said “yes” and they became friends. Fast forward to Wednesday night, I was on the train ride home when I saw the most beautiful man. Tall, dark chocolate skin and a great body. Tall! He was laughing at whatever his friend was telling him while I watched. Chai, I was in awe. I didn't remove my eyes from this guy. I couldn't. I didn't pretend to be on my phone. I didn’t bring out the book I had to appear intelligent. I just continued to stare. Eventually, his friend got off … [Read more...]
