WORK IN PROGRESS...

Happy new month folks!!! I know that by now, you all must have noticed the slight modification of this space. It was done with you in mind darlings :-) and i hope you like it. As we all know, change is the only constant thing in life and change for the better, i will.

My inactivity on this space was as a result of my many lovie lovie activities in the month of november and of course, i had to sit back for a bit to tweak certain things both in my life and on this space, just so i could capture the true essence of who i am and why i do the things i do. I like to see my self as "work in progress" i may not be where i dreamt oF being at the beginning of the year, but i certainly am not where i used to be. Alot has changed about me and i am not gonna form and deceive myself that it has been all fine and dandy but then, there is alot to be thankful for.

The fact that sometimes, what we planned is not exactly what we get, informed my decision to change the name and theme of my space as i like to call it (my blog). Can you imagine for a second the life of a painter and his brush?When he decides to paint a picture he/she has had in mind for a while, most of the time, inspired by nature or an event, he has certain colours and patterns in mind but just like every other thing in life, it sometimes does not come out the exact way he wants. Sometimes its for good and other times, it works negatively yet, it doesnt change the fact that it is a pieice of art and for those who appreciate such, it is beauty they see. I sometimes want to beleive that the painter of the world famous Monalisa portrait,did not think for a second that his work of art, would become a best seller but paint it, he did. What he tried to capture, no one can really say but then, the piece captivates all.

Our very being can also be likened to the painter and his brush. God is the painter and we are the canvas. We are where the beauty of God really lies. When the painter is done painting, he is all dirty but his work still stands him out. Is it because of the passion with which he does it? That i may never know. When next you want to complain and carry on about things not turning out the way you planned, remember that you are work in progress and it is how you end up that really matters. As one of Rihanna's tatoos say, never a failure, always a lesson. Its not as though i am a huge fan of her's but like the rest of us, she is a work in progress. When next you feel like an under acheiver, stop and think for.a second how far your painter (God) has brought you and the stage you are in. Remember, no matter how down you think you are, there is always someone worse than you. Think of it this way, some people's canvas has not even be touched yet, so be thankful and remind yourself that your beauty is all we see at last and not the mess you think you look like now. Happy new month!

Ps. I never intended writing this piece when i started but hey! It's here and you might as well just read it and get lifted. As for my wedding gist and man hunt, i have not forgotten ;-) keep a date with moi. Xoxox
