My London trip via MD

I went to London this past weekend, I stayed at Mo’s and she had the entire weekend planned. Moji got 2 dozen roses delivered Saturday morning! It was so cute, One yellow rose for friendship and 23 roses for love! WOW!!!








After getting here at 9:45am, I took a 3 hour lunch at noon to take Tuoyo, Dayo and Patrick to the airport! I am super bummed that I won’t be in Naija with them for the wedding! Omo that would have been too bunz! We gave our hugs and kisses and I headed back to work.
The Odds are against me but pile up enough Odds and you are Even. The inevitability of my ability to consistently overcome overwhelms me. As do the magnificence of God's grace towards me and mine. I marvel at my proximity to my destiny. I am astounded that Can't, Won't and Later disrupt my journey to greatness. A conscious decision is mine to make and christen them Can, Will and Now! My reflection gazes back at me with another challenge at hand, procrastination hinders my reaching my destination. Don't tell me where I should go till you walk in my shoes. Yesterdays mistakes are for tomorrows amends, yet I ponder on them like the hand of time changes? Mediocrity has become a comfort zone and I have turned obstacles into road-blocks rather than stepping-stones, I find myself compromising my integrity as I try to maintain the status quo. How easy it is to condemn me and defame my character, when you really should commend me, and applaud my efforts. Intimidated by my confidence, you misconstrue it as arrogance, I know who I am.... A strong, black-diamond in the rough, a female soldier, a Queen amongst her peers.. now who the hell are you?
