#WinterABC22: Day 2 – Behind The Lighthouse

Larley sighed when her sister-in-law left the house that morning.

She quickly got herself together after weeping and proceeded to the market to sell her…

#WinterABC2022: Day 1 – Books, Food and Music!

Hey there, look who’s back again for this year’s #WinterABC22 😄 Books! Building blocks! Cooking sets! Music! Total summary of my childhood! If anyone asks me, I’d say my childhood was fun and the kind of stuff I was exposed to have made me who I am today. As a baby, I heard I started…

I have a testimony!

I have a testimony. I was reading my daily devotional today and it suddenly dawned on me that there’s this testimony I haven’t shared. Here it is!

Let Me Show You How It’s Done

“Let me show you how it’s done”, Henry said to the little boy who was struggling with his football on the community park. Henry took over the football and started displaying mad football skills.

#DearJohn: Letter to my crush!

Dear John, I’ll keep this brief. But at this point, you’re really frustrating me.

Anyway, I…

Time flies when you are having the most fun and just within the twinkle of an eye, the WinterABC challenge is over. This challenge has been great. I went from not writing at all for over a year, to writing and publishing almost everyday. I wasn’t so consistent, I skipped a couple of days mainly…

#WinterABC: Day 21 – The Things We Leave Behind!

Slowly, the WinterABC challenge is coming to an end! For the penultimate post, I’ve been tasked to recycle one of my old posts and bring it back to life. Here’s a post from the past which I have recycled. I hope you enjoy it. The things we leave behind — buildings, people, experiences — rarely…

Choose 5 songs, tell us why they are special to you. Yo Afrobloggers, Why so hard on me?😅 Who asks for just five songs? I have no idea how to go about this but let me randomly select 5 songs from my long list of favorite songs. The first is Power of Your Love by…
