Its been a hot minute...

                                        

13 days into September already & the final quarter of the year! Time to make it count for something ,if you have not be doing so already & if you have keep on going, the race is not over yet..!

We are beginning to draw near to the end of summer 2011 and begin to brace ourselves for the cold days that await us. Even though we was not blessed with as many blazing hot summer days as I would have liked, I can still say that this summer has been full of plenty of fun.. August was a mad month & it definitely started off with a BIG Bang that would make us remember August 2011 for many many years to come. If you don't know what happened with the riots & looting that took place throughout London & other parts of the UK then you have been sleeping.. The whole thing was unexpected, scary & upsetting to see but I’m glad to see that order has now been restored & things are getting back to normal. One good thing that did come out of everything that happened is that it showed people still had that "community spirit" especially when it came to cleaning up & helping people get their life back on track. Another good thing is that many people had the chance to receive life changing opportunities that they may never have got if the riots never happened. Like they say “Everything happens for a reason”.

Despite having to deal with the riots taking place not too far from me, August was also a time of really celebrating African culture. I had the opportunity to attend, Africa Fashion Week in London which was amazing & well organised, went to see FELA! Which was long over due trip to the theatre & also celebrated the rising success of Afrobeatz music by attending a range of events during the August Bank Holiday weekend and one of them being the D’Banj & MoHits Kokokoncert at Hammersmith Apollo which has now been added to my top 5 concerts I have attended to date. It was good to see Africa being so well represented within the UK with a range of different events. (Pictures uploaded soon, hopefully!)

Overall August was full of sharing good times and good memories with family and friends and allowing me to remember that “Life is Good!” So now its back to hustling hard and making sure I leave 2011 with a bang! But this month is also my birthday month (Woop Woop!!! presents & cards appreciated, lol) so I will be having some fun, as it will be wrong not to celebrate it!

But for now I wish you all a wonderful month & hopefully I will get a chance to start blogging again regularly. Don’t forget “To Keep Aiming High!”

Until I blog again.. Peace & Love

Reflection of the Month

 

 

God of our lives

you are always calling us

to follow you into the future,

inviting us to new ventures, new challenges,

new ways to care,

new ways to touch the hearts of all.

When we are fearful of the unknown, give us courage.

When we worry that we are not up to the task,

remind us that you would not call us

if you did not believe in us.

When we get tired,

or feel disappointed with the way things are going,

remind us that you can bring change and hope

out of the most difficult situations.

Happy August!

At long last, the SUN is finally beginning to come out of hiding and it’s starting to feel like summer. Even though according to the newspapers it’s not like the summer we had in 2006 but hey some sun is better then no Sun.!

So how are things going for everyone? I hope you have been enjoying the summer days and having fun?

July for me was an interesting month to say the least; it was a month of CHANGE and new beginnings in a few areas of my life. I’m not going to lie some of the areas of change I was slightly opposed to but then I began to see the positive effects that the change could have on my life. For example,  change taking place within my workplace made me realise that its time for me to now move on, because progression within my job does not like an option anytime soon.

You know sometimes we get so comfortable within our surroundings and become so oppose to change that we don’t see the good that could come out of the change.  We might not know or understand it now but as things begin to develop and time progresses we begin to understand that everything that happened in the past was orchestrated in order for the change to happen and for the new stage of our life to come into full effect.

I’m looking forward to the future and the new beginnings that are coming my way, I’m sure its going to be an exciting ride and I know I will face obstacles along my journey but I know I will be ABLE to overcome them.

So yeah, roll on August,  I know its going to be a fun month full of; BBQ’s, Celebrations, Concerts, Hot Weather, Family & Good Friends… And lots of memorable times, Life can’t get any better! (If your lucky I might upload some pictures of my August fun)

One that note, I’m going to leave you with a quote I lived by last month:  “Things Change, People Change! That’s life deal with it”

Take care peeps & enjoy the Summer days Ahead!!!
