It happened to be my birthday and I recall vividly someone asking me why I was still single and this question sparked a few memories. In my opinion I do believe everyone has their time and seasons in life but the particular memory that came to my mind was the feedback I had received from a past relationship just before it ended. This feedback was one I found to be a quite off and lacking a depth of insight. You see, sometimes one could set out and to be married to a partner who unknown to them could end up…

So to continue from where I left off, I chose to give my best to the new organization I had been employed in and not too long after I had settled down and undergone the prerequisite trainings my duties started pouring in. It seemed a bit tricky at first with the new processes and procedures but I was able to figure my way through. With time I started to develop skills in the new area I had been drafted to work in. However, there was soon to been a change as I noticed that a new team had been set…

Now to go back memory lane and continue sharing on some of the victories that occurred in my life (see my previous post – “One day at a time”).Of course I was very ecstatic to have been recruited by a structured organization after almost a year and half of waiting. I quickly settled into my daily duties and was prepared to give it my best shot. However working with this new organization was like treading in an uncharted territory. However, quite different from all other organizations I had worked, prerequisite trainings were in place to bring one up to speed…

I guess most of you must’ve wondered why there was no post last week, let me just say (in simple terms) that we warriors have a lot to overcome compared to others.So in rounding up from my last post, after a year and half of waiting, my expectation was realized. I guess the learning point for me throughout the whole experience was that the only constant thing in this life is change and that one must be prepared to weather the storms that come with each season in one’s life. The entire experience taught me to be strong and resilient…

So like I said much earlier, I refused the option of working three times a week and resigned from my second job (due to health reasons) thinking that the savings I had would be adequate until I got a new job unbeknownst to me that I would be requested to move house and this would cause me to use up my savings. Initially when this occurred I was in no frame of mind to think objectively, all I wanted at that instant was to find a new place. I eventually moved out, only for my health to suffer and for…

Working at the second job wasn’t so difficult but like every other job it had its own challenges that came along with it. From the customer service routine to the various meetings I had to attend with my manager, it was quite obvious that someone experienced was required for the role.I recall vividly how we would attend to customers until the cut off time, then start to face our other duties. Being in charge of my help desk which involved interfacing with clients for one of the instruments of the organization, the onus was on me to develop a filing…

So to continue from where I left off sharing about some of the victories that occurred in my life. I noted in my previous post – “The new dawn” that just before the downsizing and my being asked to leave the first organization where I worked, I was drafted during my tenure to work in two different units. Well when this occurred I was a bit disappointed but it was because the first unit where I worked was considered to be stressful for my health hence the management of the company decided to change the unit. Unknown to me that…

There are so many countless victories that occurred in my life to share, so don’t think that majority of my life has been beset by lows. However I needed to chronicle first the battles for ease of reading. Now let me just go back memory lane and start chronicling the victories.In this case, I had just been redeployed to serve in Lagos state and was wondering which firm would be willing to take me into its employment for my youth service. Only for an old school friend of mine to turn up and tell me that there was an opportunity…

I guess I’ve written quite a bit of content in these past few weeks and I really do hope that all I’ve written has blessed you in one way or the other. It’s been a thrilling experience for me these past few weeks sharing with you how I’ve coped living with Sickle cell disease and to not agree that the purpose of the blog was achieved would be wrong. I hope each and everyone of you that has read through my blog has been blessed in one way or the other even if you may not be living with the…

Now to talk about the one incident that almost made me call it quits. This incident occurred upon my recovery from my near death experience with the ninth exchange blood transfusion I had. Like I stated in my last post, I woke up in the intensive care unit of the hospital asking myself who I was and trying to recollect my name and everything about myself. I had almost forgotten how to walk because each time I took a step my legs were jittery. I also had bed sores and could hardly take in any solid food without throwing it…
