At first glance, I seem quiet. After a while, you might think I'm just a plain snob but those who are close to me know I can be funny, witty, smart, inspiring, innovative and lovable. My family thinks I'm a super mom and a tireless wife. Size me up by any means necessary; it doesn't change who I was born to be. Writing is my passion. It's the best way I know to express myself and pass across my learnings in life and of life. By writing, I hope to create awareness, bring inspiration and encouragement and change the world, making it a better place from everyone. I hope you stick around and find my posts helpful in some ways. Otherwise, let's rub minds. Send me a mail @ buki.alamu@gmail.com

As we were – youthful, vulnerable, spontaneous, adventurous – the world should have stood still and time should have remained indiscreet. If walls could talk, truly, they would remind you of the love that was true. They would remind you of how safe I felt in your arms and how happy I was in ecstasy, … More Miles away
For most women labor hurts a lot, but not only can your heart take it, so can the rest of your body. You’re going to be fine! Just hang on a little tighter, encourage yourself by any means possible.

Being the example the children need isn’t always as easy as, “You are only allowed 30 minutes on your phone daily”, or “You are allowed on 1 hour with TV on school days”, or “You should be in bed by 8:30 pm on school days”. … More Encouraging Children: Boundaries in Freedom
I put up happy faces and bright smiles
And they are all just pushing you even further away
