💔 It only took a small puddle of water… and a little boy lost his life.

🦟 A Small Bite, A Big Lesson

Years ago, a family in my neighborhood lost their little boy to malaria.
It wasn’t because they didn’t love him.
It wasn’t because they didn’t try.

It was simply because no one thought that a small puddle of water outside their home could breed something so deadly.

That experience has stayed with me. It taught me that mosquitoes are not just a nuisance, they are silent killers. And prevention is always cheaper, safer, and kinder than cure.

On this World Mosquito Day, we are reminded that protecting our environment is protecting our lives.
Because sometimes, the smallest actions make the biggest difference.

🌍💚 Let’s not wait for a tragedy to remind us.

There was a day last week I just sat and stared.

I had a long to-do list.
Calls to return.
Messages to respond to.
Work waiting. Life calling.

But my body?
My heart?
They didn’t move.

At first, I got angry at myself. “You should be doing more,” I whispered. “You’re wasting time.”

But then I remembered:
🌿 Even the sun takes a break at night.
🌧️ Even the sky gets cloudy sometimes.
And even strong people have quiet days.

So I took a breath.
Drank water.
Put the phone down.
And simply existed.

Because some days are like that.
And that doesn’t make you weak—it makes you human.

If today feels like “too much,”
Pause. Breathe.
And remind yourself: you’re not behind.
You’re healing, growing, becoming.

💛 Be kind to you. Your story isn’t over—it’s just a gentle chapter.

They say, “Opportunity comes but once.”
I disagree.

Opportunity comes… and goes.
It circles back sometimes.
But here's the truth: it only favours the prepared.

Many have missed opportunities not because they weren’t available,
…but because they weren’t ready.
No clarity.
No structure.
No discipline.
No preparation.

💡 The real question isn’t “When will opportunity come?”
It’s “Will you be ready when it does?”

✅ Sharpen your skills.
✅ Strengthen your systems.
✅ Build capacity ahead of demand.
✅ Stay visible and valuable.

Because when preparation meets opportunity, that's when favour shows up.

Let’s stay prepared, stay positioned, and stay purpose-driven.
Your next opportunity may just be waiting for your readiness.

Story Time!

This morning, I walked into my kitchen and picked up a few bowls to wash. One plastic bowl, in particular, caught my attention—it had some strange, stubborn stains on it.

Naturally, I reached for the regular sponge and dish solution. I scrubbed… but nothing happened. The stains wouldn't come off. I added more solution, scrubbed harder—but still, no change.

Then I paused and thought to myself, “What if it was one of my kids who had washed this bowl and left it like this? I would’ve been upset. But here I am, giving it all the effort I can—and still, the stain won’t come off.”

At that moment, something shifted. I decided to try a different sponge—a tougher one. I also used a different cleaning agent, applied a bit more pressure, and guess what? The stains started coming off! With a little extra effort and the right tools, I got the bowl sparkling clean again.

And then it hit me…

This bowl is life.

How many of us have been in situations where we tried once, maybe twice, and when nothing changed, we gave up? We assumed, “This must be my fate… maybe God wants it this way.” So we settle. We surrender to patterns, circumstances, or conditions that were never part of God’s plan for us.

But the truth is: sometimes all you need is a different approach, a little more effort, and the courage to try again.

Some "stains" in our lives won't shift with casual effort. They require spiritual intensity, new strategies, and persistence. Most importantly, they require grace and the help of the Holy Spirit.

So here’s my encouragement to you today:

🔹 Don’t accept defeat too quickly.
🔹 Don’t call something permanent just because your first effort failed.
🔹 Ask the Holy Spirit to help you try again—this time, with precision, with power, and with renewed faith.

It’s never too late to rise, to break free, and to walk into your breakthrough.

You’re not stuck. You’re just one decision away from cleaning off what doesn’t belong in your life.

Push a little further. Victory is near.

God bless you.
Shalom.

So many untold stories…

“Father, thank You.”
For the journey so far, for the mountains climbed, for the valleys crossed, for the strength to rise each time life tested me.

There’s still more to unwrap—more purpose, more grace, more impact, more testimonies.
I am not just a year older, I am a layer deeper in purpose, in wisdom, and in gratitude.

To everyone who’s been part of my story, knowingly or unknowingly—thank you.
To the next chapter—I step in with faith, fire, and focus.

Happy Birthday to me.🥳🥳

One of the biggest communication mistakes people make when they need help is not saying what they need.

You’ll hear:
“I need help.”
“I’m facing something.”
“Something is bothering me.”
“I’m confused…”

But none of these actually say anything specific.
People want to help — but they can’t help what they don’t understand.

If you're facing a challenge, say exactly what the issue is.
Clarity saves time. Directness invites solutions.

Imagine you walk into someone’s inbox and say:
“Hi.”
“How are you?”
“How’s the family?”
…and then stop there.

Meanwhile, the person is waiting for you to get to the point — or they get busy and move on.
You miss your moment.

Instead, try this:
“Good afternoon. I hope you’re well. I need your insight on pricing a client job for X amount of rooms in Y location.”

Straightforward. Respectful. Solution-focused.

People are busy, not wicked.
Make it easy for them to understand how they can help you.
Let’s improve how we ask for help — it’s a skill that opens doors.

I hope this helps 🤝

When you lose your wealth, you've lost nothing. When you lose your health, you've lost something. When you lose your character, you've lost everything.

Coincidence or serendipity?
I had mentioned and his family's values in a conversation just a day before and guess who I sat second seat to on the plane? It was for me a chance encounter. What a pleasure to meet the man himself whose commitment to family values is admirable. His humility and sense of humor are truly inspiring.

Here's me wishing you a Happy birthday in few days and more years of spreading love and positivity.

Standing Strong in the Storm.

Have you ever felt like you're drowning in a sea of challenges? Like the waves of life are crashing against you, threatening to pull you under?

You're not alone. We all face trying moments that test our strength, our faith, and our resolve.

But here's the thing; others have survived their own storms, and you can too.

Think about it. Every person you admire, every hero you look up to, has faced their own share of struggles. And yet, they stood strong. They persevered. They pushed through.

And that's exactly what you can do.

When the waves of life crash against you, remember:

- You are stronger than you think
- You are braver than you feel
- You are capable of weathering any storm

Draw inspiration from those who have gone before you. Let their stories of resilience and triumph fuel your own determination to stand strong.

You got this!
