Talented Pianist Slaying MJ's BAD

Happy Thursday good people out there. I know, I know, I have defaulted from blogging often but surely you understand, right? I am working at being better, I promise. :) I have missed writing, researching and posting articles so much myself. C'est la vie, oui? Thank you for your patience, understanding and regular visits to my blog, regardless.

Anyways, I've got an interesting video for you to view. Watch this young lad slay Michael Jackson's BAD on a piano. What a bundle of talent.

Enjoy your day ahead. :)

AGAIN, AGAIN

I am seeing sights again

Those strange legs mamma said I must not see

If I see them, I will not get married

I am hearing voices again

Those wild whispers baba said I must not hear

If I hear them, I will run mad

I am eating at the market square again

Those soups grandmother said I must not eat in my dreams

If I eat them, I will become barren

Again, again my head is spinning

Full of dreams my villagers said are abominations

I pray my dreams rescue me

Be Your Wonderful Self

Good morning and a very happy new week to everyone. I've had a rough couple of months (I'll write about it in another post) but I have chosen to rise above all trials, tests and challenges thrown my way. Why? Because life is too short to be anything but happy and fulfilled at every chance we get. The amazing thing about determining to win against all odds is that from the very moment you make a conscious effort to win, the odds begin to favour you and things start falling into place.

This post is to encourage anyone going through tough times and to let them know that tough times really do NOT last, only tough people last. I choose to be tough, I choose to be deliriously happy, I choose to be satisfied, I choose to be strong, I chose to do me.  So can you.

You can't really have a testimony without an actual test now, can you? Nope, just like silver, you have to go through fire to come out refined and shiny so think about the end always and that will help you get through whatever pains you're going through. #MindOverMatter

Have a fabulous week ahead and remember to be #AllHeartsAlways to the needy around you.

Doorless Room

They walk the street like

their shoes own its soul.

Their eyes scan the heaven

or hell of our bodies, and

mouths haggle the price of

skin on skin or without, without

weighing the costs to science

and wives left behind, in kitchens.

We are doorless rooms

receiving all things. stories

poems, secret narratives.

All Lives Really Matters

Wow, watch this heartwarming video of how doctors saved the lives of a pregnant Syrian woman and her baby. They had been caught up in shelling in the war-torn zone but thanks to this team of optimistic and dedicated doctors, they survived. Incredible stuff.

Happy New Year To You All

Here's wishing everyone a wonderful, fulfilling and prosperous new year ahead. 2016 was a really interesting yet trying year for me as it pushed me to lengths I didn't know I could go to. The beauty of it all is that I pulled through and I've started year 2017 a far better and smarter and more grateful person than I was.

I'm hopeful for this year 2017 because I believe I will excel tremendously and I know that all those who wish others well would do same too. :) 

Be the best you can be this new year. Keep being #AllHeartsAlways
