YUM!!!

These are my Christmas gifts to me! I am not even going
to think of how much money I have just spent...

I loved the bohemian ones in the two colours so...
I bought the both. (I know!)

Hey! My bag matches the menthe green pair!
(that bag is well over a year old)

Oh so YUMMY!!!

SOULFOOD

I listened to a friend lament so bitterly about not having achieved most of what she had hoped to achieve this year. She was feeling dejected and she kept comparing herself to another friend who seems to have skyrocketed beyond anyone's imagination....she was bitter and nothing seemed to calm her storm.

I did my best to help her believe in the silver lining after every cloud and then I proceeded to work up my own storm...I went through the tides of my real and imagined 'failures', my elusive goals and my challenges and really worked myself up to a thunderous level and then I packed my bags to go home.

However as I stepped into the train station, I saw a mother and her child huddled in the corner  begging for money, food, clothing and whatever in the freezing rain and biting cold and I immediately felt a flood of shame wash over me. I gave them something and I got on on the train and then I realized... SO WHAT?! The year is ending and... 

I am not ...Oprah Winfrey yet...so what?!

I don't own Microsoft Corporation yet...so what?!

I don't own a mansion in Lekki, a private jet and 2010 Range Rover yet(vera's influence)...so what?!

Yes I have big dreams! I am gonna get there...I know I will!

However, WHAT is important is that I never have to beg for anything or stand in the freezing rain and biting cold and for all that...I should be thankful.

The year is ending and I AM THANKFUL!
