WISDOM NUGGET 💡

Hey People!! So to answer the question, YES, WE CAN! *Insert Obama Voice* Gratitude is the warm or deep appreciation we have for kindness or benefits received.  Let's not confuse this with indebtedness which is the feeling of debt or owing. It does not necessarily carry a feeling of joy and freedom but a sense of need or obligation. It is often associated with guilt because there is this need to repay or to return. There are two qualities of gratefulness : Appreciation : Recognizing that something is valuable to you, which has absolutely nothing to do with its monetary worth Gratis: Freely given to us We live in a consumerist society whose main focus is what we do not have or what others have and we don't which ultimately leaves little to no room for gratitude which is the appreciation of what we already have.

Hey baby girl! So, a couple of days ago, a dear friend of ours sent us a blog post by Biko Zulu titled  Letter To My 20-Year Old Self    and I thought it would be awesome to share with you some of the life gems I have picked up over the years. On the real,you will make tons and tons of mistakes, some so stupid, some understandable, some due to arrogance, some due to pride, some just to make a point, smh . Unfortunately there are some of which you will foolishly not learn from the first time, but when your thick skull does choose to learn, the lessons you shall acquire from the same will help you navigate through life easier and from a wiser perspective! 'Never a failure, always a lesson,' said Rihanna (Groupie Alert!!!😻😻😻 She'll release some bomb music... Just you wait, hehe!) Njeri, over the years you always wanted to be everyone's rainbow when it rained hailstones in their lives.. You always wanted to be the understanding one and the one with all the s

Pettiness: an act recently so celebrated even with its social unacceptability! An act that displays sheer immaturity aimed at garnering attention and pity from those around us whilst fully equipped with a justification as a means to excuse ourselves for being held accountable for bad behavior!  What I mean by pettiness is, a focus on issues so small and trivial that it's almost silly; especially in a narrow-minded way. It can only be used to describe the quality of a person that's also called "small-minded." I have fallen prey to this oh so embarrassing act one too many times, so I am an expert on the same (Trust me... 😂😂😂) and I think it’s time someone really said how wrong it is instead of letting social media trick us into thinking it’s something to celebrate and even make merchandise on! (Sigh!)  Pettiness is neither cute nor admirable people!!! So......a couple of years ago, I waited for my boo Bella to get to town so we’d go home together.
