Turning over the page! Turning 30 gracefully:)


They say 30 is an age you go through a mini-crises. Single people, especially women panic over getting married, getting children, having their careers on track, starting to invest among other things.But just because they say, doesn't mean you said!

I think at 30, the most important thing is to have a happy, collected and sound mind. To be honest 20's is merely a rollercoaster, up and down, forward, backwards and sideways. 20's being the age in a woman where we are allowed to do many things in life without lots of things tying us down.

In our twenties, we are students and most of us working as well, it feels like more of hustling and rushing life. We party, try to be trendy, multitask and end up dramatic. I have to say my early twenties were all that and thank heavens for late twenties where we seriously start to plan our lives and get a little more serious. Our hearts stop for a moment when we think we are soon turning 30. The big 3-0 as they put it. I attended weddings, went to a lot of baby showers, had a list of places i wanted to visit, places i wanted to work, it was all undone! I felt like i was dragging behind, mostly because a lot of girls in my circle were getting married and getting babies. Then came the last months of 29 which  were calm, there was no panic, i just felt that age is just but a number and like wine, the older you get, the better you get.

I am mostly glad i got there. There is no other place you can find and understand yourself other than at 3-0. The confidence that comes with it is awesome, the need to learn lots of new things, The understanding that life is your own and you are the only one that can make or break yours. The patience and the ignorance of things and people that don't add or bring any values in our lives.

Lets brace up and enjoys the 30's, it's the best times of life. Don't let it slip away. Love with no limits, Eat like a king, Laugh with no limits, Travel like the world is ending, Exercise and keep you healthy, Enjoy sometime with your good friends, Read the news, Know your world, Work and love your job, Watch movies, Keep a smile on someones face, Extend a hug.
This will carry you through the rest of life. Change the World

Look at Her! Feel Her!

You're invited somewhere famous for a Sunday morning walk. You had been very active then and had nothing better to do than catch up with friends on long walks in your Motherland where you are now a visitor. Early Sunday morning ! Your Friend's friends arrive and introductions are civil. You note one, no eye contact. You feel her presence. In this glorious walk, admist tall bold trees, you see her, you do not talk, you feel her.  You look at the bright blue skies, you soak in the sun. The sun is literally shining on your face because you can feel her presence, you do not talk to her. You are in awe. You do not talk to her. The walk ends. Catastrophe! You panic silently!. How can this end and you haven't talked to her, what if you never see her again? You see her, but do not talk o her. A smart person proposes Lunch! Thank the universe for smart people. I think of it as a women empowerment lunch because all these women had moved back to Motherland and I wanted to hear their e...

Empower the girl child!

what is it that comes to my mind when i think about the girl child? Alot i could say! Alot! Me having being one of them, it saddens me how the girl child comes out as! well, sometimes we enjoy it we cant say we dont( esp for attention lovers! like me! ha!). Depending on which part of the world you grow up in and the way communities have valued the girl child. I was over the moon when saudi agreed to send the female team to the olympics(hands up men! good job well done). To believe that a woman's place is somewhere, at home, taking care of husband and children while the men explore the world is a totally unfair thing! Imagine the pressure on those women, to shine and show the world that they deserved that after fighting for long! And down in history it will go, that women did participate in the olympics and am soo glad it starts from here! I am glad our mothers fought for some things, but woe unto us, we are still fighting to liberate ourselves. To know that we can do something!...

Mamma: Fare thee well; our fallen Hero!

I met you just about 5 years ago, i remember that day clearly, a stormy snowy November Evening. We had driven to Perniö through this shit storm. You had waited for a while to meet me, so excited your daughter had found love again. You couldn't wait and had called a few times trying to find out how far we were. I was quite nervous on the other hand, i thought of the petty stupid things, i thought of my colour and my presentation and wondered if you would approve. I was anxious for nothing as you proved to me..silly me.. Then we arrived, butterflies filled my tummy! You were standing by the door before I even got out the car,  and the moment I did, you stretched your arms, hugged and said ' welcome to our home, you have been so awaited,' the butterflies vanished, just like that, because that's the kind of woman you were! Your touch calmed everyone in crisis, your hugs consoled and healed many emotional wounds. I can tell what a great mother, grandmother and great grandmot...
