Do your thing mama

Hey there it’s me again (Lol). I am writing this as I go letting honesty drive the piece with hopes it parks it home for me to come back and take it all in, some day when I need to be reminded who I am and what truly speaks and fulfils me when there’s no room for fear or thoughts of failure.

I recently posted on threads 🧵 






This post, this thought came when I was in my zone thinking about what I have always loved, growing to love and how this moment is as a result of a spark in my heart that I kept on giving my time which has paved way for the current moment. I have been working for 5 years now (2024) and I have been blessed to do what speaks to my core, that is giving my resources for the betterment of the next person. I give my expertise, my skills, my time and experience to evoke a love for learning laying a foundation for tomorrow’s managers and leaders. In simple words I teach.

Over the years I have experienced the beauty of serving and the difficulty of doing it were the ones served take it for granted. The beauty of serving is laying one’s heart doing , helping, guiding, nurturing, listening, directing as unto the Lord. The toughest thing about serving is when those that are served are totally in the dark about the gifts being handed to them. The gifts as a result , handed to them work harder to serve the original purpose. Thank God for management that have invested over for their time to keeping the structure together, fighting and not swaying from the vision. Thanks Lord for good employers, grant them wisdom and sympathy as they manage, lead and keep the structure together.

I have started my business “Style reclaimed’ where I sell furniture pieces clothes and shoes I do not use anymore. The business idea was conceived when I thought of being a minimalist and how my collection of furniture and clothes is taking up too much of my space and breaking my woredrobe 😂 leaving me  sad, impatient and kinda frustrated. Am those type who loose it when there’s something everywhere. 

What had me establishing style reclaimed __fashion__ is I was in need of cash and couldn’t go to anyone for help so I decided to convert my assets into tangible cash. When it comes to selling my __cozy furniture pieces__ the idea was originally conceived the moment I decided to rent out two of my bedrooms as that was unnecessary space for one. The apartment was fully furnished, every room suiting my minimalist, cozy style. I took two years to fully furnish this space by the way as I am a lover of a thing called haven. 

I advertised the rooms and advertised the big piece furniture like the bed and the headboard. I also had a massive dining table with super comfortable chairs (6) which I decided to gift my mother. I did hold on to smaller pieces like the wall arts, coffee tables, lamps, etc. Which I eventually, recently decided to add to the market and cash. I don’t need to sell anything of mine anymore (now) other than the left preloved items I recently pulled out of my woredrobe two days ago. 

The thing is I love business and most importantly I noticed that I LOVE serving women. Women are so cute, anything to put a smile of a woman’s face I am delighted to be the one doing it. I have received encouraging feedback on every piece I sold. From furniture, to clothing and this is because I have made it my point to sell good quality as I myself buy and hold dear quality pieces. I believe I deserve the best so I take it upon myself to offer the best.

Ps: last December I gave out clothes in two big bin bags to the security guard to give to anyone that is female, my body size and in need. He gladly collected and yesterday 22 April he sent me a “thank you again” accompanied by a video were kids where fitting stuff I gave away and they were happy in doing so. Urg… you should have seen my face 🥹 I live for such moments.

Let’s get back to talking business

Well, the only problem my boyfriend highlighted recently is that I tend to price my products lower than I should which results to me loosing in comparison to the actual value of the product. The lesson here is to price in a way that suits the quality of the product and ensure profit. Sales are important because they mean business but for the business to grow and be sustainable it needs to be making profit. 

In closing, i am a wholehearted doer. Every _No_ Is heartfelt and every _Am buying it, I want it_ i feel in a similar rate. I guess this is me saying i love what i do.

Signing out. ✌🏽

This is IT right here 🪄✨

  December last year.  I love her 😍  I was going through hell and back here. Guys, 2024 needs to be erased from the history of years—no ways! But I still tried to do the things that felt true to me, like being creative with my wardrobe. :) Now, I am the happiest. I am as happy as a toddler learning things for the first time. I am as happy as a young adult who’s realizing things her younger self always dreamt of. I last felt this alive before my teens—before my diagnosis with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. I am so very much at peace; feeling strong has become the cornerstone of my inner serenity. If this was the only gift I had to receive from God, I wouldn’t dare ask for anything else. Or think of trading it for anything later down the line. This is IT right here!!! I am sooooo happy—said a girl who suffered joint pain, swelling, stiffness, redness, warmth around the joints, fatigue, fever, rash, loss of appetite, weight loss, limping, decreased range of motion, eye prob...

An alignment conversation 🥰😌

Sometimes, the best way to discover what you truly love is to look back at your younger self. Before the influence of society, teachings, and expectations shaped your perspective, your younger self knew the raw, honest truth about your passions. Reconnecting with that inner voice can reveal what genuinely sparks joy and purpose inside you—beyond all the noise and external opinions. In this blog, I’ll share how who I am passionate about now is deeply connected to that authentic, childlike clarity, in the form of a prayer rooted in assurance and hope for what seemed like a far future then. One thing about this guy — he’s fulfilled every genuine, unselfish request I ever made to God about adult love. When I was 11, I prayed for a life partner, a best friend really, trusting that when the time was right and I was older and ready, I’d find someone special. Now, being with you feels exactly like what I imagined during those prayers — like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, living out the bes...

Am not running out of time

Looking back at my life, I realise I’ve always started early. I began Grade 1 at the age of 5, started university at 17, and bought my first property at 23. I enjoyed the fact that people noticed I was the youngest in class, and I worked hard to be among the top 10 students at school. This drive really began when I chose my subjects and followed my commitment to excelling or should I say, slaying in life. In June 2024, I made the brave decision to leave my job because I chose myself and my health over demanding work. My career requires me to constantly pour into others, and most of the time I had to fake being well and energetic, even on days when I was crumbling inside. I remember one day vividly: I had just returned from external moderation, exhausted, with a badly swollen eye from allergies my eye was barely open. Yet, I still went straight into a parents’ meeting at 16:00, showing up as if nothing was wrong, despite the obvious. That’s who I’ve been all my life: pushing through, be...
