Being.
I am going to start this with a big shout out to Yvonne who saw an opportunity for doctors in tech and looked for me on Instagram, she also said I’m cool.
Thank you, Yvonne. I do not take it for granted.
Also big thank you to my readers.
It is like these days you need to always have something happening — you are working in corporate, learning a new skill, getting a degree. one thing one thing is always in the works.
Why can’t we not sit and rest. Breath in and be conscious of the now. Offload the endless to-do list for a while and just BE PRESENT
Just BE.
I have been thinking about this a lot and amidst the pressure to have one thing or the other going, my super power will be the fact that I can close tabs in my brain and just do something else.
a way I am ‘being’ will be in the time spent with God — not asking for anything, just pondering on His love and goodness, His beauty
Our purpose is to live for Christ, what are we then doing if all the struggles we are facing in life does not end up glorifying Him. What are we doing if we do not spend time in His presence, knowing and enjoying His presence.

As helpful as these are, they can be too much information to take in at once. You can find yourself deep in comparison and wondering why you have not achieved what your mates are achieving. TAKE A DEEP BREATH. ENJOY THE MOMENT
Enjoy your garri and sugar. or your eba and soup. or your jollof rice.
feel the harmattan on your skin. enjoy the shower on your head.
this is not a call to be lazy. It is more a call to enjoy your current phase of life while you work hard to get better. It is a call to rest. To have periods when you are not thinking of the next thing (God abeg how I go take buy my car and become a proper rich aunty this year — I cannot be broke. I also want to go to Zanzibar)
It is a call to balance.
I hope that despite life’s pressures, you are able to take time for yourself — empty your mind out and just BE
I have found that I hate the question ‘why?’ and it happens to be a question we all have to answer in this journey of life. but it stresses me out, my answer to why is typically ‘why not?’ because why not?
Posting this about a month later because I did not hit publish when I wrote it initially.
Anyhoo, here we are.
And thanks for always reading 🫶🏼
I love you small. Jesus loves you big.
