Be Obsessed

-
I'm obsessed…I keep checking how many views, comments, or whatever is on my blog page. I keep wondering when I will be a mad blogger/writer that makes a difference and wins so many awards. 

 On my birthday, thanks to the strike, I had a 24 hours lazy day and lots of time to be blog obsessed. I even gave myself a new goal; a blog goal (obviously) which is to have a thousand views by next month (don’t have that just a thousand views look or the Thomas never believing look either, anything is possible).

Am sure you are wondering why the blog obsession? The real deal is I am an upcoming writer; a good blog could boast my ego and help achieve my dreams. I could move from level 5 to 100. You know nothing is impossicant. Besides, I need to know and feel like I am achieving something. The feeling of accomplishment, fulfillment and self actualization… 

Don’t want to bore you with all my feeling and obsessions. My question is ‘what is your obsession or dream?' You can never live till you can die for something. (Well that’s what I have heard o, lol). So in 2012 keep your dreams alive. 

 It’s a daring year. Happy new year...

    Lol! I feel you o jare. This reminds me of my 'Kini Big Deal' blog in my first book. Just be true to yourself and do what you love and have fun doing it. I find that there is always someone out there who your blog will 'speak' to. I was freaking out when I saw all your blogs 'posted 4 hours ago'. I was like 'waaaattt' a la Fuji of Fuji house of commotion. Lol!

    Carry go Shally. Be obsessed. Just let God be the wind beneath your sails.

      Lol! And I promise, the comments/feedback will eventually come in. But I find it 'free-ing' to not let that be the focus. It's nice but your blog/writing is for a higher purpose........ And you will be amazed how many people read, are blessed BUT don't comment......It's all in God's hands.

Loneliness is a warm bed

by Shally A. Walking on my toes, silently, from the bedroom into the kitchen; I cut into the big loaf of bread with the sharpest knife on the cabinet long before you wake. I want no sounds heard; this silence is my power and warm bed. Your food is served- ready to be dipped into when you awake. My mind doesn’t want the bother of words that hold no water, have bad taste and stink like a soiled bed wetter’s mattress. No words, just like it was yesterday. I walk on my toes to the room, lie down beside you and pretend to sleep when I feel your weight move off the bed. You glance at me- idiot, I curse inside. What is left of me but the poundings of anger, neglect and disgrace? Two deaths and promises that fell into the thin air of nothingness. I stood by you when you had nothing, now too much money has stuffed your stomach with pride. Your lies, cheating and insults have shaved all hopes of new beginnings like the drums of bleakness beating in an average Nigerians heart. I have res...

Book signing of The Dairy of a Desperate Naija Woman (DNW)

By Shally A. Me, Bola, and my beautiful mentor Mrs Enahoro :) It’s a known fact that Nigerians don’t read, but as I saw numerous people trooping in and out of Laterna Bookstore for the book-signing of  Bola Essien-Nelson  book, I was a little tempted to  ‘yimu’  and say  ‘oyinbo statistics.’ As this is the second book-signing event I have attended, I didn’t really know what to expect but like the Good Book says,  my expectation was not cut off  ( forget I said didn’t have an expectation o! ). At the book-stand, I scrutinized all her books  wella . Indecisive Shally was wondering which one to buy. I was attracted to the colourful cover-page of her latest DNW book. It had a distinctive Nigerian touch. A middle-aged woman sat on the floor with a hint of sarcasm glittering in her eyes, her  gele  was almost reaching the stars and her dress was made from patches of different Ankara fabrics. Nice tableau, I thought. ...

Stand...

by Shally A. Sometimes scared Sometimes full of faith Sometimes in the air This too shall pass, I hear I must learn to persevere So unsure Striving to stay alive Hoping I’ll survive Stand.  The wave’s splash along My terror screams “ Lord! Open my eyes, guide my lifes' lines” Stand. I had hoped by now Your arm would have saved my drown The tides toss me around Slitting deep, till red fires gush out You whisper, STAND This too shall pass It takes time to build a corporate work of art. It takes time to build a life. And it takes time to develop and grow. So give yourself, your enterprise, and your family the time they deserve and the time they require, persevere- Jim Rohn.
