WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

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

In the country of others  we heard how beautiful bad omen and factions are working to improve. In the country of our heritage, we know too how the confederacy of our naked interests is bitting us in the groin. But in the aftermath of our blurbs and blurts of intentions, We rise again with a shinning ☀ conviction to excel. We rise again with a grateful blessedness to live the struggle of building the future we desire. And as we stand in the sunset of November's harvest, Our Thanksgiving would be incomplete without acknowledging you for having navigated these turbulence. Our gratitude note would not be complete without commending the Divine and all the people supporting you. You deserve commendation for meandering through the known Norths and Nevers of November. Thanks for remembering to appreciate the needful caretakers and the new people in your life. Thanks for your relisience and determination not to give up. May your secret prayers be answered. May your

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 watching over us in our state of sleep. Have a good rest. Good night ©KYB✍🏿06/11/22

Good morning to you. I trust you had a good rest. Though some have a challenge getting good rest,  And because we are VULNERABLE in our sleep, It's relevant to render gratitude to whoever, especially the Almighty God for keeping an eye on us throughout the night.  Looking at how therapeutic a good sleep can be, perhaps it's still vital also to REMEMBER: • Our Caregivers- mothers, fathers, loved ones, and nurses etc, sacrifice their sleep to take care of the sick, frail, and those suffering at night;  • Our security agents who patrol our environs sometimes risk their lives to ensure our safety and security; • Our drivers and pilots transporting passengers or goods to their destinations/markets; • Our prayer troopers/warriors/angels or people interceding for us.  With a grateful heart, I wish you a memorable Monday. Remain blessed 🙏🏿🫐 ©KYB✍🏿07/11/22

In our goings and comings; In our dealings and efforts; In our quests and interests; In our styles and approaches, And through the journey of October, We experienced the mix-blessings Of modest gains and modest extremes. But can we forget saying our gratitude? Can we forget to breathe our Thanksgiving. I remembered to acknowledge you this evening. I remembered to commend you for your resilience. I remembered to thank God for the gift of your life and for seeing you through the Month of October. Remain blessed. Greetings ©KYB✍🏿31/10/22 

There is a series of seemingly small positive developments in our lives that adds up to something heartwarming and reassuring. And an appreciation of these small mercies and small steps that account for the progress made in certain areas of our lives is appropriate. It's in line with this that we are required to express GRATITUDE to the Most High for his countless mercies in our lives.  The attitude of gratitude for the numerous moments of mercies, graces, blessings and even challenges is in order. Permit me to also acknowledge YOU (including your forebears and collaborators), for your prayers, support, goodwill, time and suggestion. Thank you for tolerating and believing in us. They are all part of the ingredients that got some of us here.  I appreciate your goodness. Thank you. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿17/07/22

We've been through many tides this year.  We've seen how interesting we are interconnected with the coming of our uninvited guest. We now know how vulnerable we all can be. Nonetheless, we managed to walk this far with care tucked with hope in solidarity. Fact is that God has never forsaken us, no matter our challenges, misgivings and troubles.  Though we may be imperfect, we cannot stop trying to be our best. We cannot stop rethinking and walking our talk.  To excel and emerge stronger, Martin Luther King reminds us that "we must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope."  For making time to read these pieces, thank you. For making time to share your thoughts, I am grateful.  For making those useful suggestions to improve this art, I am greatly indebted.  Thank you for stoking the fire in this creative belief.  To live in the future, we to cultivate POSITIVE THOUGHTS. To inspire ourselves to live in the light of truth and fulfil

Every sunset comes with a subtle hope of another sunshine.  Every night carries modest hope of daylight.  In between the certainty of these happenings is an unstoppable stubborn force of nature’s cycle.  Despite this certainty, human, as we are our hope, often dims. I mean at times our light goes out.  We stumble, tumble, and fall. We even fail in our frailties and caress our defenselessness. But somehow, somewhere, some of you rekindle the spark and wakefulness in us. Sometimes the smile, the concern, and the touch of a distant voice of a loved one are all we need. I may be unaware of the number of people you interacted with.  I may not be privy to who did what in your life. But, I am sure of one thing, that each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. Thank you for being there for someone.  Thank you for reaching out to that person. Thank you for rekindling the light in someone today.  Thank you for being the reason why somebody sti

Yesterday was but a blessing, courtesy your beautiful wishes. It was a Remembrance Day shared with you. And I must admit that your prayers, invocations, calls and lovely messages animated the day. Indeed, I am humbled and grateful to you. Thank you for the love and thoughtfulness. Thank you for sparing a word of prayer for me. Thank you for making the moment a memorable one. In saying 'people are People because of people, I had you in mind. I mean, you are part of the reason why I keep walking and talking. And you are part of the Community of people of Hope, I appreciate. Kindly accept my gratitude. I appreciate the special bond we share. I respect the fact that you are striving to do something worthwhile under this dispensation With the understanding that LIFE is a gift, weaved together by your efforts and deeds, I cannot but pray Yahweh to richly bless you.

A year ago, someone was happy. Someone was sad, a year ago. Somebody is grateful for some support you gave them a year ago. Another is happy for your thoughtfulness. It's possible that someone still grieves about an episode that they wished never happened. It's probable that though the competition to live is tasking, somebody is delighted you were there. In our survival match in life, And beyond our bread and butter issues, Encouragement is vital in this interconnected web. So this started with an idea. The thought to reach out. The desire to stay connected with you. And though I might have lost count of it, I wish to thank you for reading these messages. So, I specially dedicate this 1000th message published on my blog to you. Thank you for your interest and support. I admire you and wish to remind you in this season that you are the reason I say people are people because of people. Thank you. Greetings ©KYB ✍🏿21/12/19

Reflecting on the intricate path of life, It dawned on me that what really matters in life basically got to do with: How well we lived? How well we loved? How well we learned or unlearned? Therefore in remembering to live our lives; Perhaps it's necessary to review the past with gratitude and to acknowledge whoever had a part to play in our lives. In living our uniqueness in this moment of grace, maybe we should appreciate and care for our lives. And in the honouring the dignity of our worth, even as we look confidently into the future, we have an eternal duty to work together to make our world a better place. Thank God for the gift of our lives. Thank You for your consistent efforts. Thanks to everyone who is still striving to live. So on the eve of this year's Remembrance Day, please remember you are Remembered in my prayers🛐. Warm Greetings from me to you. And please do Take Care Good evening ©KYB ✍🏿10/11/19

In the many spaces of our lives, In the numerous occasions of these days; And through the various encounters in the connections in our interactions; And beyond the struggle for our survival in this corridor, we have to find time to appreciate the efforts of others in our lives. It's important we internalize the values of gratitude, cooperation, compassion, and dedication in our duty to care. Courtesy also demands that in expressing our appreciation for the gift of life, we respect the lines and always be positive and enthusiastic. Since no one makes it alone, we have a duty to cultivate a heart of gratitude and acknowledge the efforts of those who reached out to us, inspired us, prayed for us and supported us to have come this far. Reflecting on the journey so far, I personally owe a depth of gratitude to many many kind-hearted people. You are one of them, and I'd like to say I am grateful for the Goodwill, for your prayers, support, concern, and encouragement

Our quest to explore and live, Brings us closer to some realities. We often find good examples in these realities of our various stories. As the Sun glides along the horizon, We still have a duty to remember the worthy examples of others and those who engineered them in our lives. It's with these sentiments of gratitude, That I'd like to remember you for your efforts. Yes! I remembered you in my reflection today, And I just want to thank you for your good examples. I remember you in your efforts to build a good name which your family, friends and society will be proud of. Thank you for being you. Thank you for your concern. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for the warmth you bring here. Keep being your best. With gratitude from me to you.👏🏿 ©KYB ✍🏿30/06/19

Some genuine reasons may compel us to act in certain ways, but never should these reasons bury our sense of gratitude. I am therefore grateful to you for your services, thoughts and consistent efforts to improve. I am equally thankful for the lives of whoever contributed to your growth. So let's make it our daily practice to celebrate these people now that they live. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. ©KYB✍🏿 11/05/19

Yaw was seriously licking his fingers while wiping the sweat trickling down his face with his cream handkerchief when I got to the Noah's arch Canteen that warm afternoon. There was a mild queue of young famish guys waiting for their turn to place their order. I had wanted to join but thought I could share some pleasantries with Yaw. Monetarily, I saw this sunburnt fellow waved at the waiter to give him the transparent miniature toothpick bottle on an adjacent table so he could remove the stubborn piece of meat that got stuck in the gaps of his kola-stained teeth. His facial expression and that of calm Yaw was enough proclamation of a good meal. And I surmised they really enjoyed the meal. There are days we fast from food but the truth is that we all eat to live and grow. Sometimes we only enjoy the meals without appreciating the chefs through who's culinary skills the meals are prepared to quench our hunger. Often time, it's painful after going through the tr

Experiences are worth keeping because of the lessons they teach us. Every teacher that encourages and guides us on the path of learning something new is worth remembering. Sometimes, it takes one of them to spot our talents and help us polish them. Those who go the extra mile to inspire and provoke us to think outside the box have earned our respect with their footprint still registering in our hearts. Those who taunted the innocence in our mischief too, we remember.  Some earned our displeasure but were we supposed to like all of them? In any case, the experiences gave us a yardstick to acknowledge the good ones. Another grade of teachers who deserve mention is our schoolmates and seniors. Some of these colleagues who were unrepentantly naughty were fun to be around. But there are those who graduated from being mere colleagues into good friends. Through all these interactions, one thing is clear that our school, sophomore and social teachers spread throughout the various stage

Often time, when we celebrate our mothers and fathers, for their care,  sacrifices and commitment to guiding our way here, we seldom mention their collaborators and those who supported our growth. Permit me to acknowledge the Traditional Birth Attendants(TBAs), the Midwives, Nurses, Doctors, the Orderlies and the farmers, herbalists and family members through whose support we arrived on earth. In a special way too, it's important we remember our benefactors and benefactress, as well as our loved ones and friends, who provide with the critical social support for our survival here. Sometimes their invaluable time spent on end just to listen to us is incredible. In spite of their personal challenges, these persons are still willing to offer a listening ear and would risk being there when you need them most. Again, there are also the good Samaritans and those who qualify as angels who appear in our lives at the right time and in the right moment, with their support. So, if some of

With every thank you or words of appreciation we receive for our actions or deeds, we have to look back with appreciation to the efforts of all the brilliant teachers in our lives, and  with gratitude to those who touched or blessed us with an insight, opportunity, challenge and favour. Without the efforts of people we encounter and the processes we go through, the curriculum of our lives would be very raw, tasteless and uninteresting. So dear Reader, thank you for the warmth you bring to this space, which contributes to the growth of our  souls. I trust you're doing well? Wishing you the very best of the day. Greetings #KYB ✍🏿®#
