It's amazing what can happen in a year!  I love to compare & contrast life events in different seasons and years.  It's one of the many reasons why I've maintained a yearly detailed journal and planner for over fifteen years! Last year's memorial holiday (girl's reunion) had me on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, flirting with Dallas Texas's sexy coast guard officers . It was also during this season that I learned of my beloved uncle's passing and rushed to Cameroon for his funeral. This year, our family celebrated my mother's graduation with a Master's degree as we prepare to welcome 2 new babies into the fold; one of them will be my late uncle's grandchild. On my end, l ast year around this same season through December, I visited 3 countries and over 10 cities in the USA. To be quiet honest,  symbolically , I was running away from my problems. Running away from yet another failed relationship and not wantin...

April was wet & cold as expected.  But it's now May and am still wet and cold; not expected.  It's easy to allow yourself to get sucked into the gloominess of the weekly rainy days but I choose not to. I could never live in Seattle. I love the sun. I love being outdoors. And will always try to find joy and fun activities to do despite the weather. I went to Dave and Busters after more than a year's hiatus & was quickly reminded why I need to stay away from it and instead go to Vegas. At least in sin city there's the probability of me wining my hard earned money back.  Do casino video games exists? I mean I know about the 25c game machines in Vegas, which is how I usually gamble but I don't remember seeing games that will allow me to earn money while playing street fighter or killing zombies or maneuvering the force in star wars? I think I need to go back to Vegas...

Spring is here! We all know how difficult it can be to maintain a workout schedule during the long, cold winter months. Now that the weather is getting warmer, here are 5 great tips, am using to get healthier this spring. #1. Be Adventures It's time to step away from the indoor cardio machines and try a new class. There are so many small fitness "boutiques" offering innovative and creative classes . The good thing about these boutiques are, there is typically no membership fee. You can sign up to take one class or purchase a group deal like a 6 weeks pass. A new trendy class I will like to one day try is SOUL CYCLE Another new concept to tryout is Class Pass . With a monthly membership, you have access to a variety of studios in your city, giving you the option to really customize your workouts to your taste. My new spring routine is to CUT BACK ON CARDIO . I find that my body has become stagnant. All I ever do is run yet am still not seeing the c...

I use to have instagram but I deleted it either 2 years ago or at the beginning of last year. I told myself this year that I will relaunch it with a more professional approach (strictly for health and wellness related posts) for business opportunities. Yet it seems every time I sit down to plan it out, I am very discouraged. Instagram use to be fascinating because like the current periscope live app, it was people posting instant pictures of their lives with no ability to edit it. First came the filters, then the ability to upload pictures from a saved gallery. Now you can also post 15 second videos even though some of those videos where shot for more than 4 hrs with another 4 hours of editing involved to bring it down to a highly refined 15 secs clip. The personal problem I have with instagram is that nothing is real anymore. Most pictures are editorial shoots or videos that have gone through several editing professional software before the final picture selected from a tho...

I feel very UN- motivated and have been staring at the same  To Do list for more than 2 weeks .  I need inspiration but the only thing i want to do in this cold weather is sleep, wake up, drink tea and sleep some more. Boston Commons Fellsway
