Live. Love. Laugh. Lead. Learn.
Lord, I give you all the days of the rest of my life.
For whatever reason, today I am thinking about getting old. What will my legacy be ? What stories will be told about me ? What stories will I tell ? Who will I tell them to? Who will be in my life ? How will my days be ? What will my last 20 years,…
Failure and success
What experiences in life helped you grow the most? Failure has given me some of the most defining experiences of my life. It made me pause in my tracks, question my direction, and challenge the beliefs I once held with certainty. In those moments of disappointment, I was forced to confront what I thought I…
For the glory of God
One of the lessons I learnt early in life was to not have expectations of people. This also begs the knowledge and belief that I am not owed. The world doesn’t owe me. In the recent past, I am confronted with the fact that aside from not being owed, I am dispensable. We all are.…

You have given everything

They say that as we grow older, our circles grow smaller. And perhaps that is not loss, but refinement. Yes, I still mourn some friendships. It was never an issue of betrayal or brokenness, but rather distance, time, inevitable change, perhaps the quiet evolution of becoming. And so I hold the memories gently ; they…
Dear friend
I wish to celebrate you for your existence and presence in a world beyong me because you carry more light than you know into it. Never believe otherwise. Selfishly, let’s focus on my world and make this about your occupancy of a large space in this tiny universe of mine. Man, do you turn it…
