Vision Boards, Accountability, and a Dash of Madness

"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right." – Oprah Winfrey

I started the year with a moment of honest reflection and a big dose of gratitude. Last year handed me a plot twist I never saw coming, but I still showed up, walked through it, and ended on the right side of 365 days. That’s enough reason to be grateful. Now, I’m stepping into this year with measures in place to ensure I’m productive and I get the best out of myself.

You know, the “new year, new me” mantra? I think it’s mostly a myth. Honestly, I almost skipped the vision board this year because, let’s be real, last year ripped me off. I was drained, goals left unmet, dreams unclicked, and less than 10% of what I planned came to life. You only saw me once out of 365 days 😞😞.

So this year, it’s not about a “new me", it’s about rewriting my vision board with real processes in place, plus an accountability partner. (If work no waka carry am comot before we even start.)

I’ve missed writing. There are drafts gathering digital dust in my notes (I promise to do better, sha😗) and I’m done letting them hide. Some will be fine‑tuned, others will be released raw. No more “someday.” I’m showing up even though I’m carrying scars from past attempts because progress isn’t perfection, it’s persistence

I’m trying this writing thing again despite past failures. I knock on the door with equal parts excitement and healthy fear. Who knows? Maybe this year I turn drafts into conversations, ideas into pages, and doubt into momentum.

So, here we are, heart in hand, process in place, and courage dialled up a notch.

From one of my favourite books from my shelf - Take excellent care of the front end of your day, and the rest of your day will pretty much take care of itself- Robin Sharma, The 5am Club.

If you don’t hear from me again, just know I tried. I clocked in for the ‘new year, new me’ shift... Relax, I’m joking😂😂.

Welcome on board. Let’s see where the journey takes us (well, me, but with you coming alongside with me abi😊👀), with more intention, more grit, and plenty of coffee.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🥂

Here’s to the next chapter. 🥂 Dusting the cobwebs off this blog😂😂😂🙃🙃🙃🙃 For as long as I can remember, I knew I would write, but whenever I think about writing on this special day, my heart skips a beat. This past year, I circled the sun, With changes I had not foreseen. I faced the depths, the heights, the core— Tears flowed freely, joy took flight, Sorrow and laughter both took light. I leapt forward in the fog's embrace, With no clear map, I found my place. Though shadows lingered, steps unsure, I'm grateful now, I stand secure. I leaned on love, my anchor strong, My father's bond is where I belong. My family held me, firm and true, Their love, my guide, through skies so blue. Enimoney, my forever woman, beside me, stayed, Through darkest nights, we never swayed. In growth and love, we've far surpassed, A bond so deep, forever to last. And to my "forever wanna be Gen Z, " You led me and kept me on my beam. Best girls and mentors, near and true...

Monday Rush

I'm sure I'm not the only one who detests Mondays, the start of a long work week with no breather in between, especially when there is no public holiday in between the week. The sensation that it's MONDAY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! How can I work for 5 days and rest for only 2 days, officially 1 day, God helps you, you have that day to yourself without anyone or anything to carry you out. The hurried rush on Mondays is the absolute opposite of a peaceful Sunday morning, and the contrast might be startling if you're still jet-lagged from the weekend. Monday, the second day of the week, but technically, the first day of the week, has this rugged nature. Traffic is always worse, the waits at bus stops are longer, everyone is rushing somewhere, and the entire mood appears panic-stricken. The sheer number of 'to-dos' and backlogs can be daunting, which is why Mondays can be more stressful than your typical work day, with hectic meetings packed in between from project catch-ups...

PERFECTIONIST 🤔🤔

I can’t imagine how many times I have written goals, set goals, follow it duly and at the end of the packaging of these things, I just flop 😔😔…like yes I flop and you know the word I say to myself, ‘las las everyone go dey alright” … which is true but ‘abegi’ but when will the right time come oooo 🤔🤔because ‘me I won de alright oo’, but when is really the right time, will I actually be alright? all in the sake of waiting for the perfect time to start something which I end up not starting…. There are good intentions to being a ‘ perfectionist ’ because we all want to do things in the most excellent way possible but ‘ogbeni’ don’t forget that there is no such thing as ‘perfect time’ but of course there is a Perfect God who tells you to go the ant and learn. The ants never wait for the perfect time to gather food; they always gather food even if it the smallest tiny crumb of bread, we should stop giving excuses and start thriving. I try this, I cancel it, I try...
