The little things that matter! Spring'y spring!

It' s spring! Huraay... Well maybe i should take it slow since Finland is known for taking us back and Forth, spring/ winter! But you see, am one of those people who were out with lighter clothes the 1st moment that ray of sunshine struck through the window, since then i have closed my eyes to the snow that has fallen and thickened my skin to the cold! Thank goodness it is now officially spring!. 

I tell you its officially spring because i spent a whole day outside without rushing in or jumping up and down to keep warm, i went jogging through the graveyard at 9 am on a saturday( its peaceful there and just ran through to let them know it's spring time), spent time doing shopping, eating out and walking all over with my partner! It was a beautiful day yesterday and that's the kind of difference spring brings to life. That's how we start our spring! Not your style? No worries, we celebrate you so long as you recognize it's spring. Even if you lie in the sun naked!, facing the sun, with your hands tucked well behind your neck.., its a sign! You too are on board the spring craze:)

Go out and smell the flowers! When it comes from someone like me, its of much importance yet i cant just go smelling out flowers however beautiful! You might find it like a simple little thing that guys have the pleasure to do!,( yet don't) but imagine some of us cant just do it! Nature has forbidden my nostrils from inhalling any beautiful plant of any colour, if i do i am thrown into this pollen freenzy allergy attack that sees me go nights and days sneezing and investing the little remainder from my taxed salary in tissues and piriton, if am lucky then am spared a visit to the doctors! That only happened last spring! It was the 1st spring i saved from the doctors since I came to Fin, some years back, but i still invested in tissues and lost lots of energy sneezing! So don't blame me when i add a pound or 2 during spring! Cos otherwise the energy meant for exercise goes elsewhere:) oh.. Are those excuses? Aach.aa..Oh..really? Oops!, i promise to try do some jogs to keep them calories from adding up! It will not be any bikini body in a few months if i keep up the excuses, not that i ever get one however much i train! Am just one of those people who bikinis were not made for but have insisted on. And am not going down👍😝...am already getting summer fever! But let's leave that for a few months!Hahahaha...

Let's get out our cycles! Yea i know some of you have had them out but again am those kind of people a little bit carefull, though they say am daring, but i have been actually waiting for them to clear the murram off the roads. I have no intentions of getting on my bike and skidding off the murram adding marks to my already marked legs. The marks i got during my childhood while climbing mango trees with the boys are enough! Yea.. I was such a tomboy then, and toughly played with the boys trying to fight for equality!😂Haha, plus marks from all those metal boxes we had in high school! Tripping on the edges! Wa! Wa! You would sit on the floor, 💀👽🙈curse the world with tears streaming, then you get up and trip onto the next one! Ohh shit...aauch! those who know what am talking about say Aameeeen!!. Where was i? Right, enjoy the ride, cycle through the neighbourhood and enjoy the beauty of life.:) 

Get them bowls out! Plant some colour on your balconies, some colour on those flower beds! 💐Don't be sleek, dont employ people! Unless its me, do it yourself, the feeling of watching those flowers blossom and to know its the work of your hands! Heaven! And keep those kids off the flower beds ! It doesn't go well with hands that itch to pull out:)

Enjoy the springy spring! Doesn't matter if the glass is half full or half empty! All that matters is that there's something in it! LET'S TOAST TO A SPRING'Y SPRING:)

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...
