A Blessed End of 2023

Image
Several years ago, I went to town not to crossover or watch the might of the last day's night but to feel the air of the last day. It was somewhat noisy, phony, and funny but I just didn't like the depth of creativity in the way Christians were using to cash in on the last day of the calendar. Today is D-Day or call it the mother of all nights or the Climax of all the overs: in Crossover, Climb over, Crawl over, Jump over, Scale over, Scream or Shout over, Sprint over, Run over, Pray or Push over, Watch or Walk over, Take over, Limp over, Jet over, Dive over, Lift over etcetera. It's not just enough to do the watch night and the so-called crossing-overs but to soberly reflect on our lives, and our attitudes in the past 365 days. We need to interrogate our efforts, our Care, our thoughts, and our actions or inactions so that we will individually and collectively access ourselves. Even in our reviews, overviews, and counterviews of our efforts in 2015 we can&

From January to December

Image
From January to January, we've heard intriguing news of the jingles in our smiles. From January to February, we've heard frivolous tales of our begging state. From January to March, we've matched the transitional tricks of our Master's shadows. From January to April, we've argued our approaches to advance the averse averages in our areas. From January to May, we've marveled at God's marvelous mercies on our merciless murky moves. From January to June, we juggled and survived the trauma of needless perennial junctions of survival. From January to July, we've judged the jumpstart in our journey of jogging with our limping economy and the possibility of accessing the b itter I MF's relief. From January to August, we've adjusted the distasteful grief in our creed of greed which still bleeds the blessings in our nation. From January to September, we've stepped and stumbled on the sages and stems of a sticky flood that stoked ou

In the 2023 Class

Image
With Thanksgiving we crawled to crossover to this year. We entered the class of 2023 with renewed expectations, We joined the class with hope and resolve to inch higher. We stretched our yearnings in our white gear with glee, At the permission to exercise the gift of life in 2023. With the epiphany of the inceptions, We had the baptism of some pleasant unpleasant news. There were some unexpected expected goodbyes. There were economic downturns that touched our smiles. All in the process of the 2023 class. With some miracles here and there, We trekked the evidential path of experience of liveliness. We learned lessons through our encounters and engagements. There were low-high or high-low important rewarding moments. All in the vicinity of the 2023 class. With the melting pot of people, culture, influence, power, We remember the flooding that overwhelmed our comfort. We recall the vulnerable tears and the solidarity of our people, All in the memorable 2 023

On this Harmattan Avenue

Image
With the bills of the cold dawn long gone, The bliss of restless sunshine rises In the armpit of the Harmattan avenue. The grey scales of the sky spins, As the pale air parts the lines, In the arms of the Harmattan avenue With the heatstrokes of the noon shades, The light dusty particles rises to our toast, In the hands of the Harmattan avenue. On this dry streets of a season, The thirsty streams swings sluggishly, As the wailing withering leaves drops, In the corridors of the Harmattan avenue. From this Harmattan avenue, Accept my best wishes of the season. Greetings to you. ©KYB ✍🏿16/12/23

Pay Attention

Image
Pay attention to your health, because it is important.  Place high premium on your well-being because it is vital. And please do not postpone the NEED to seek healthcare. For the speedy recovery for our loved ones who are not too well and undergoing treatment, we pray 🙏🏿. Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday. Greetings from me to you ©KYB ✍🏿13/12/23

In Solidarity with PWDs

Image
In our units or cells, they live. Some are in our homes, houses, and hubs. Others were in our schools, or people we meet regularly. Some are even in special locations we know and visit. They are interesting and differently gifted. They are essentially human beings eager to smile. We may hear or not hear their utterances or ideas. But they speak and communicate in the community. Often their voices of concern are muffled by the loud dins. Usually, in public discourse and national planning, their concerns are bitterly an afterthought. Sometimes they are denied opportunities just because of their disabilities. Despite some snubs and pressures, a number of our compatriots still rise to breathe life into their dreams. In marking this International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) today 3 December, could we stand together, United in action to rescue and achieve the SDGs for, with, and by persons with disabilities? Could we promote the rights and well-being of p

December's Decimal

Image
The decks of days of the months, Details our determination with divine favour, Driving us through our distinctive experiences.  In the decimals of our decisions or indecisions, And through the low and high tides in the past 11 months, We just have to give thanks for being alive. As we acknowledge our Farmers for feeding us, It is my prayer we are given the strength to complete what we have started, as we decide to discipline our excesses. Be blessed with enough great testimonies to remember. Happy New Month. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿01/12/23

Noble November

Image
As we nurse the new stories of November,  We nurture the noble essence of gratitude. So in thanksgiving for the lives of the SAINTS,  We recall all the SOULS who affected our lives. And remember the true spirit of Truce and Peace in the world.  To those who rekindle the spark in our lives, and are committed to Guiding us on this path, with prayers and support, We cannot thank you enough. Sending you my best wishes for the day. Thank you for coming this far.  Be blessed. ©KYB ✍🏿30/11/23

July Times

Image
You might have heard sermons about end time, grace time, breaktime, travel time, extratime, happy or sad times.    But whether the weekend time is due or not, in the meantime, and in-between this Friday time, and the July times, let's make time to think about the beauty and linkages of life. Stay blessed. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿30/07/21

Thursday lines.

Image
Waking with a ray of hope along the lines of Thursday, And walking in line with our conviction and plans is good. But with the unending tale of the Headlines tickling the lines in Akwatialine, Blackstarline, Sofoline, Zamramaline, and Redlines of our discomfort, Perhaps we have to be streetwise traversing the guidelines of our morals and learning the Softlines in our leftline or centerline stands. And the Life-line here is for us to be mindful to never cross the marklines of Norms, Anger or Egolines in order to reach the deadline or the Finish-line with glory. There is still hope in being Patient. Greetings from me to you. ©KYB ✍🏿27/07/23

Gratitude Notes IV

We do not know the time we sleep or what awaits each of us in our sleep, but we know we will sleep anyway. What happens between the time of our consciousness and unconsciousness as we sleep is still a mystery. Though I do not know what still stirs up HOPE in our hearts to believe in that beautiful tomorrow, Permit me to THANK whoever keeps watch over us in our state of sleep. Have a good rest. Good night ©KYB✍🏿06/11/22

Other thoughts

I was late going home last Friday and got to Kasoa at 10.00 pm, At the overpass, I saw this woman sitting with a child on her laps and another child sitting by her. I guess the children were twins as they looked about the same age. The children and their mother were all sleeping. I felt sad that they had no place to lay their heads with mosquitoes feasting on them in the cold weather. I asked myself a number of questions: 1. What is the cause of this situation - irresponsible husbands? 2. Adherence to traditional, cultural and religious beliefs and practices? 3. Can't the appropriate authorities identify the people behind this and hold them to account?  4. As a country, can't we provide a shelter in each of the big cities to accommodate mothers and their children who have no place to lay their heads just over night? 5. Are these women not entitled to the LEAP support when people living in the comfort of their homes get the support? There could be more questions but whatev

Be the Light

With deep gratitude, we remember those who light the flame within us and rekindle our spark to live. May your path be illuminated from above. Sending you my best wishes for the week.  Stay safe. Good night 😴  ©KYB ✍🏿26/11/23

We Won't Be Here Forever

Image
Another evening comes with diverse stories. Another evening come s with its experiences. But in the echo of these stories of experiences, Rests the fact that we won't be young forever, We won't always be the master's servant forever. We won't always be the strongest or on top forever. We won't always be here forever. That is why we have to do the needful things while we have the opportunities. That is why we need to build lasting legacies that transcend our time here and create beautiful moments that make our society a better place.  Greetings from me to you. ©KYB ✍🏿25/11/23

Your Support is Worthwhile

Image
Although we strive to make daily efforts, The fact is that other people's encouragement in our lives is vital. I mean if some of us can smile today; If we can walk this mile and talk with confidence; It's because some of you identified glints of talent in us, It's  because some of you saw in us what we couldn't see, It's because some of you went the EXTRA-MILE to invest your time, ideas, and resources to help us walk this mile. And it is because of people like you that we believe in the goodness of humanity. This is to celebrate YOU and all your collaborators for supporting others to go far. Kindly extend my appreciation to All Our Benefactors and benefactors wherever they may be. Lest we forget kind souls gone before us. I am always grateful.🦋🌿 Greetings. ©KYB ✍🏿08/11/23

Remember Them

Image
*REMEMBER THEM* In every home or community, We see their footprints in our families, Their voices evoke their presence in our minds. And their mannerisms dot our smiles or tears. Yes, a while ago, they walked, talked, and stalked time. A while ago, they lived, believed, and smiled with us. A while ago, they wept, crept, and kept faith in hope. A while ago, O! Yes, they passed the moments of sweet sufferings and strange struggles of the hour. A while ago, they also enjoyed and endured the joys or trivialities of life, our insensitive reactions, and stereotypes of our humanity.  But today, they're long gone with the whistle of time. Today they've long kissed the ashes of eternity. Their souls have transited the realms of our tides. That we cannot deny how they affected us on this path, Or erase their names in our vivid narrative, means we have to REMEMBER these kindred SOULS. If for nothing at all, remember they were with us yesterday. If for nothing a

Sunset of September

Image
We saw the swift sail into September, We savoured the subtle sentiment of souls All i n the sunset of September. The signs and significance of services, Stepped up our stake in the scenes of yet A beautiful sunset in September. With subtle sweats and spots of social sequence, We script our standard gratitude to the Most High For guiding us to this sunset of September. May those grieving be consoled? May those celebrating be joyful. Cheer up with a Thanksgiving tune. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿30/09/23

Someone We Know

There is someone we know Sitting on the sound stall of hope. There is someone we know Striving to smile in this mile. There is someone we know Stirring the value of care from afar. There is someone we know Who appreciates & is happy to know YOU. There is someone we know Sending you blissful weekend wishes Greetings from someone we know. ©KYB ✍🏿23/09/23

Memento of Nkrumah's Positivism

Image
Sufficient Reasons have been adduced for why this transformational and visionary l egend is being celebrated. In the ins and outs of leadership, the contradiction of what is said and done at a time of severe economic challenges,  amidst the deadly-silent gaze of an uncomfortable people, the requirements for a critical direction in life, can no longer be the preserve of the few. The feeble efforts of those offering alternative government approaches which seem to be sympathetic to the suffering of the many only to be neglected when they get the nod can not be countenanced. The course of our society should not always be determined by a see-saw contest between the inside and the outside of the politics of interests, tribes, and creeds. Today, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's positive consciousness lends credence to our quest for transformational leadership. I have no doubt in my mind that we are a blessed but strange people. I have never doubted in our collective ability

A Worthy Sacrifice

Image
We breathe it in our lives, We exercise it in our daily struggles to succeed. We even embrace it in our attempt to reach our dreams. We also live it, whenever we make choices or decisions in every situation. Whether it is self-denial, concession, or sacrifice, With every grain of grace comes a condition of sacrifice. Every venture of endeavour, requires a symbolic sacrifice of time, effort, and resources. The act of sacrificing is hidden in our efforts to live our duties and exercise our rights and responsibilities. It is even present when we decide to do nothing in this life. There's an element of sacrifice in every story or history. And even though I might not know the true price of sacrifice in everyone's story or life, we are reminded of Father Abraham's faith and his obedience to carry out God's command. We are reminded of several significant sacrifices made by great leaders of religion and others in many fields. We are equally reminded of

A People's Economy

Image
In a people's economy where everyone matters; People will guide and teach you in life, People will appoint and disappoint you, People will agree, or disagree with you, People will tease and talk about you, People will like, love, dislike, or unlove you, People will hate, hurt, or hurl insults at you, People will mention your name or discuss you, People will make fun, ridicule, heckle, refuse, or betray you. We all need people in our lives to fulfill our dreams and destinies. But it is your RESPONSIBILITY to own up for your actions and inactions and be a valuable person.  And it will be in your interest to learn people's skills and how to tactfully handle people in your life. Greetings, Dear One. Be blessed ©KYB ✍🏿12/09/23

Friday Fiat

Image
On a warm Fairy Friday flight, A scathing funny comedy of manners, Floated on a variety of fisty intellectuals fiats. But whether the financials fit our first philosophies, Keep flexing the fame of figures of our fixtures, And Freeze the frailties of our Friday. Sending you my Fantastic Wishes. Greetings from me to you. ©KYB ✍🏿25/08/23

The Mile of May

Image
With meek evenings like this one, We may recall Marvelous moments of the month; We may reminisce Miraculous things in our minds; Or we may still remember the Mournful missives of a matriarch mother. When May moves into the market of months, Many mimic the music of some musicians, To make merry of our Mothers, who mothered us, And to mint the gratitude of the multitude. Yet in the mile of May, we met many May markers; While minimizing the major noise machines in May. But in between the mild makeshift moments of May; And between the modest margins of our measures; The main market maneuvers in May were marked. Maybe it's not just a month of methods; Maybe it's not just a matter of miles; Maybe it's not just a member's memory. Maybe we should mark our Maker's magnanimity, By mirroring the magnificence of this memorable May. With these many millions of marching minutes, I trust you had a memorable May. May it be well with you and your famil

Don't Rush

Image
Don't rush the process, Because growth is gradual and incremental. Don't rush the procedure, Because there is a reason why the seasons are so. Don't rush the strategy, Because every circumstance is meant to prepare you. Don't rush the methods, Because you need to learn the nuances of life. Don't rush the cycle of this day, Without smiling or learning something new. Perhaps while going through the day, we ought to PAY ATTENTION.  Sending you my best wishes for the new week. Kindly Take care and be good. Greetings. ©KYB ✍🏿28/08/23

Evening Time

Image
An evening tide touched the sunset, And tried our tiredness on this tricky track. Yet the term of Thursday testing our trust, Is a testament worth questioning again and again. But what says the Time again? What time is the thanksgiving moment? What time-tread is the evening tide tying? How much time do we even have? Please remind Taylor, Tara, Tabitha, Tarmar, Thomas, Theodore, Theodora, Tobias, Timothy, Tracy, Tina and Tijani that Tanya, Tenu, Tania Tessa, Theresa, Tetteh, Tewia are all trying to tame the thirst of their transaction. Please remind Tekyi to transfer our Thursday thoughts to Tetepong Nyame, to transform and bless our thirsty land. Greetings from me to you. ©KYB ✍🏿24/08/23

A Pilgrim's Eclipse

Image
Often we go to bed wondering how time passes so quickly. Sometimes we wake up wondering how old we are and how fast we get old. There are those countless happy moments we can not forget. And there are some telling low moments we wish to forget.  Though we may not remember the day we were born, We certainly must not forget the blissful times we share on this pilgrimage.  We must not forget the little magical moments of excitement in excellence. We should appreciate these special encounters and opportunities. So please make time to reconnect with these finite details of your presence.  And rekindle that subtle spark to make every day count. Kindly relax and be blessed. Greetings to you. ©KYB ✍🏿20/08/23

There is a Price

Image
Though some contend it is a game or a theatre where we act our parts in the various scenes and moments of life; It is a fact that parts of our hearts are still saturated with scenes of perfectly rendered memories of our lives. So, please let's be guided in how we utilize this opportunity to live this day and to do what we do here and now because there is a price to pay for every deed. Greetings to you. And thanks for being there. ©KYB ✍🏿10/08/23

Courage & Conviction

Image
We all have high and low tides in our lives. Some shake our very foundation and threaten to sweep the happy waves from our comfort. But in all this, Gideon Gono, a former Zimbabwean  Central Bank Governor t ells us that what the ship's captain requires in both cases is the COURAGE and conviction to remain in the water, as well as the creativity to navigate out of the high or low tides. May we be encouraged to rise and emerge stronger and firmly rooted to conquer our challenge? Greetings from me to you. ©KYB ✍🏿09/08/23

Thursday lines

Image
The skylines gradually shift with the aesthetic Thursday lines, Which signals rest from another walk in the line of our duties. But with the unending tale of the Headlines tickling the lines in Akwatialine, Blackstarline, Sofoline, Zamramaline, and in the Redlines of our discomfort, Perhaps we have to be streetwise traversing the guidelines of our morals and learning the Softlines in our leftline or centerline stand on the issue of the day. Perhaps reviewing our Life-line note to be mindful to never cross the mark lines of Norms, Anger, or Egolines, Could help us reach the deadlines and the Finish-lines of our target lines.  However your day went,  there's still a thrill in being grateful for this opportunity.  Greetings from me to you. ©KYB ✍🏿27/07/23

Keep in Touch

As evening comes, The birth of a new day awaits. As we anticipate the moments of this week, Please keep in touch with your VALUES, Keep in touch with the PEOPLE  in your life, Keep in touch with your SOUL and the DIVINE. Kindly pay attention to the little details of LIFE. And keep a positive attitude in your dealings. May your week be Blessed. I wish you, Well. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿23/07/23

Remembering Our Fathers

Image
From a unique source they came, They came by boat floating on rivers, They are seeds and deeds fed many, Their persperation and silent battles Strengthen their resolve to protect.  These are brave men we acknowledge, These are men special at what they do, They are special in the choices they made, They are bold in being the fortress of our homes, Their unique presence in our growth is a blessing. Though some joined the ancestry route, Certain currents chased the shadows of some.  Whether they are here or there, their thoughts and voices are intered in our hearts. Our Father's loved unconditionally, Our Dad's are kind and considerate too, Our Papa's makes us happy with their humour. Some Fathers scared the stubbornness in our coats and clothes our vulnerability with tenderness. Though they have their share of ups and downs, They are determined to hold us together. They go to every length to provide for our needs. This is because their family is import

United in the Body

Image
We have different names and characters for a reason. We think differently, understand things differently and interpret things uniquely for a reason. And though we are born onto this plane with a plan of purpose, there is this interconnected link between us that we cannot deny. This interconnection essentially makes us human beings living in this web of our society. A further demonstration of this fact is how the complex and simple arrangements of the 11 systems and the 79 organs of the human body work together to ensure we operate in this phase. So in our affiliation and affirmation of our different beliefs, we must understand that we are essentially a people with one destiny. We must understand that in the complexities of our actions and inactions, we practically are building the future we want to see. We certainly must unite to work together and to build together. May your week be blessed. ©KYB ✍🏿11/06/22

YOU are the ONE

Hello there! If you are breathing today, Please be informed that you are the ONE. Yes, You. You are the One with the emblem. You are the One Commissioned to shine. You are the One Manifesting the divine desires. You are the One Changing the future generations. You are the One blessed with the opportunity to positively influence the course of this age and stage. You are the One Inspired to lead and improve on our lots. You are the One that persists to ensure Afrika rises again. You are the One who knows how it feels and how to solve it. Yes, YOU are the ONE, ordained to help finish the unfinished business of liberating Afrika. And if you are in doubt about this, please be reminded that YOU are not a child of a lesser God. Kindly remember that YOU have the big footprints of a great ancestry. YOU are the ONE great soul with the eternal resolve to redeem the dying dignity of the Blackman. And YOU ARE Not Alone.

Gratitude to Our Mothers

Image
To our distinguished and dearest Moms, To our first teachers and ever-present counselors, To our consistent charismatic and prayerful partners, To our wonderful mothers who transitioned too soon, To our mothers who transmitted lasting values to us, To our mothers who never gave up on us and still find a reason to encourage us, To our mothers who stepped into our father's role, And to our fighting partners who disciplined and offered useful criticism to improve our lives. To the timeless memories of the unique moments locked in the confines of our tender hearts, How can we forget to celebrate and THANK our Mothers enough?  For all the countless moments we shared; For all the care and attention you gave us; and For all the sumptuous meals you cooked for us; For your sense of urgency and concern for us; For your dutiful roles, we salute and celebrate you. We are grateful for your role, your deeds, and your immeasurable contribution to our growth. Thank you

Ahekoo to Our Modern Linguists

Image
Is there something you desire to tell someone today? Do you have a concern, intent, idea, or juicy news to share? Or do you have a pressing need to examine, explore or expose something that affects our common good? Our quest to share, speak or send a message or two to others is vital to our survival. And to perform this, society designated this function to the modern linguists who mediate and manage the information we read in our tabloids, hear on our radio sets, and see on our Television or the internet and even our smartphones. The relevance of the Media's work in informing, educating, entertaining, advocating, and invigorating us to take responsible actions toward our development cannot be overlooked.  As the people blessed with the presence and skill to pen the first draft of our history, it is instructive to note that their work has a greater influence on a people's mindset as well as on our common future. While commending our Media practitioners, trainer

May's Measure

Image
Once upon a memory, Mega, Magnificent, and Marvelous had manners Maazi, Mzee, and Major mirrored in their minds. And when May moves into the market of months, Mary, Majid, Mavis, Mashud, and Micheal managed To mail the muted messages of many mysteries to those in Mankesim, Menuso, Mempaesem, and Mamprobi. But while manifesting the monetary moments in Mayland, May we be motivated by our mission mindset to excel. May we be mindful of the murky machinations and live. And May we magnify our strength to melt away the main fears of our miscellaneous thoughts. Wishing you a memorable Month. Greetings from me to you. ©KYB ✍🏿02/05/2023

Sometime in April

Image
Sometime in April, we activated love. Sometime in April, we anticipated quality rains. Sometime in April, we recharged our hopes. Sometime in April, we invoked the mores of Care. Sometime in April, we remembered our resolutions, with Easterly and Eidly feasts of new beginnings. Sometime in April, we revisited the report of our earth's future even as we reflect on the dangers of our waterbodies. Sometime in April, we questioned the essence of our liberty. Yes, it was in April we reassessed the Alpha approach, Yes, it was in April we remembered Afrika's invocation. Yes, it was in April the guns in Sundan just like the unending Russia Ukraine conflict started. And Yes, it was in April we recounted the blessings of the Most High despite our many Afflictions. Oh! Yes! Some time! Yes! Sometime in April, we remembered our duty to still render GRATITUDE to the benevolent God who blessed us with this month. Sending you warm Sunday blessings. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿

Save our Common Home

Image
We walk on earth and plant foodstuffs on the soil of the earth. We utilize earth resources including water, land, minerals, and foliage for our survival and continuous existence. Though most conflicts are fought based on our vested interests in Earth's resources, we all know the fact when our souls depart, our earthly bodies return to Mother Earth. In recent years, competing demand for earth resources, coupled with the uncontrolled and unsustainable operations in our environment has resulted in the gradual extinction or grave threat to the resources of the earth and our lives. While others abuse it, some eagerly refuse to see the linkages of how our wrongful usage of earth resources affects our collective well-being. This sometimes makes nonsense of our environmental laws and the mantra to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We certainly need to Rethink our actions to reverse the trend to recreate and rejuvenate Mother Earth. Somehow Mother Earth's silent tears can

April's Arrival

Image
  And April arrives with the Alpha approach, To properly rejuvenate our initial loyalty, To appreciate and anticipate quality rains, To recharge our hope and invoke the mores of Care. Thus, rendering GRATITUDE to the benevolent God who opened the doors of this newness to us is in order. May this same old God of all ages guide you in this month. Sending you my best wishes.  Stay blessed 🙏🏿 ©KYB ✍🏿01/04/2023

March Moments

Image
Did we walk in the margins of our common memory? Did we march the multiple melodious moments in March with meekness? Did we mark the marching orders of the maker of March? Having marshaled our mission mindset in our maneuvers. In maintaining our maximum balance to maximize this month of our heritage, may our transition be smooth. May our mission, mimic our Maker's will.  Greetings from me to you 🦅🌿 ©KYB ✍🏿31/03/2023

Is there something in a Name?

Names of names ring in names Names of names whistle names  Names of names voices names You own one, I own the other Everybody owns one Is it the identity in ownership that matters? Is it the connectivity with its owner? Is it all about one's recognition that counts? Is it about the pride in it that feels good? Whatever the name tag There is a reality in it However, the name sings  The good name stands The goodwill in name lives There is a burden on the bearer  It resonates responsibility on the carrier Names evoke sad, happy memories  Names recount good and bad omens Names whisper hope, despair Names bring persons and places to mind Names extract tears from the eyes Names arouse a sense of belonging Names breed unity, disunity A name symbolizes acceptance A name expresses gratitude A name describes the attitude A name extends divinity  A name creates continuity  A name instigates reliability  A name articulates success A name sings our praise A name is all I have There is courage i

Take Action Today

Image
In the bows of the clouds, In the belly of aquifers, In the beds of rivers, And in the bowls of wells, We see its traces, even in our homes. Its flow blesses us with some satisfaction, Its vitality feeds our national grid which propels growth. Water remains one resource that defines life for all the organisms on this planet. And yet we know of those whose greed is molesting and assaulting the dignity of its magnificence. We hear the footprints of those who poison it in their quest for wealth. How unfortunate! On the occasion of this year's World Water Day and in joining the World to mark this day, You are invited to take action to help solve the water and sanitation crisis in the world. Kindly remind those who drank and still yearn to drink water today and tomorrow to also take action. Remind everyone who gets their daily bread from the use of water to up their game to conserve water 💦. Remind residents of towns named after rivers and every one bearing ri

Resolution in the Food Revolution

Image
In the jollof rice and other culinary revolutions, We hear the tales of the mixers and mixtures of mouth-watering dishes from thr kitchens of many eateries. But while thinking through how heat is applied in this revolution of many cousins, we learn not to hear the bit about how the saucepan bears the heat and the many nutrients the heat strangles or awakes. And as you relished your meal, kindly remember the farmers, and drivers who cart the ingredients and foodstuff to the market and everyone involved in the food chain supply. Please do not give all the praise to our Chefs, and cooks oo. Because if the producers stop producing and everyone involved in the chain should stop working, you would appreciate this resolution of this food revolution.  Greetings from me to you. ©KYB ✍🏿18/03/23

Moments in March

Image
In the margins of a day's memory, we marched into March with many thoughts of making it. It is refreshing marching in with the marching orders of the maker of March and moving to marshal the mission mindset in our manoeuvres. But while maintaining our maximum balance to maximize the month of our heritage, May we move with ease in these moments. May we meditate on our mission, and mimic the Maker's will. May we measure our mandates, and missteps, to mend our mistakes to make much from our march in March. Wishing you a beautiful Month. Greetings🦅🌿🌻 ©KYB ✍🏿01/03/2023

The Opposite

Image
Using a different route from work his evening, I saw two events going on at the same time and on opposite sides of the same location. The music and attire of patrons from both sides said it all. While there was a mini birthday party with merry-making folks, the story on the opposite side was a different rendition of mournful tunes. I asked why this. Then it dawned on me that it's an inexplicable paradox of life. Indeed, while others sleep, others are awake; While others party, some mourn their loved ones. While souls are exiting this stage, others are entering. While some experience dry seasons, torrent rains are falling elsewhere and causing floods. Though it appears to be a mixture of the opposites, with some touching experiences in the moments of pertains, Perhaps it's prudent to LIVE every moment with gratitude. Whether in good or bad times, may we never forget to clothe ourselves with the attitude of gratitude at any time. Good evening and Remain b

It is humbling to strive to understand why events happen the way they do. It's noble to acknowledge our limits in navigating these moments of different narratives. And though some sudden goodbyes are unavoidable, revisiting the source of our lives, reconciling, and returning to the right ways is more crucial today than ever. It is my prayer, we make the best of these moments and understand the simple fact that we are all pilgrims here, and we shall transit someday, sometime, somewhere, somehow. Until then please let us continue to Listen, Learn, Love, and Live these unique moments of life. Greetings from me to you. ©KYB ✍🏿 22-02-23

In the 100th Day

All too soon, the 100th day of January is here. With mixed feelings and mixed blessings, we live. There were difficult goodbyes we said in the sunshine and sunsets of this month.  But with sentiments of the new beginnings, our GRATITUDE to the Most High still stands.  And with convincing clarity be assured that IT'S WELL. So wherever YOU are, however you FEEL, whatever your STORY may be, know that YOU'RE not ALONE. Sending you thoughts of affection and best wishes to YOU and all your LOVED ones. Thanks for being there. May your day be blessed with abundance. Good morning 💞. ©KYB✍🏿31/01/23

Act of CARE

Did you hear the whistling wind of Wednesday? Did you listen to the subtle voice of that needy soul? Did you see some unusual thing in your environment? There is a yawing quest that subtly invites us to: • Pay attention and LISTEN, • Be empathetic and CARE, • And to Reach out to others. This is my small way of checking on YOU. I trust your day went well? Good evening 🌺 ©KYB✍🏿25/01/23

Awake & Arise

In the snoring gaps of yesteryear, We heard some great achievers slipped by in their sleep. But in the silent hours of the day, this assurance surged. That YOU are a Great Soul with yet another opportunity, YOU ARE A GIANT EAGLE the World is waiting for. So Please WAKE UP that Great Soul within today, AWAKE  the Dominant forces within to take that giant leap. WAKE UP to make that difference and impact. AWAKE and ARISE, because I BELIEVE IN YOU. Please Stay Positive. Greetings 🌹  ☀️🌼  ©KYB✍🏿04/01/23
