Despite Chris Brown's issues and troubles, I really like the fellow. he's talented, no doubt and what endears him to me is the fact that his videos are actual music videos with real DANCING going on, not the videos we see of half-naked or almost naked young ladies with hot bods supposedly "dancing" when all they're really doing is just gyrating, which, while very appealing and sensual, is not dancing.
Chris Brown's videos have dance sequences, beautifully executed, and actually helps one connect to the lyrics of the song. In this era of "less-is-best," his videos give me hope that there can be videos my children can watch and learn actual dance moves from without my worrying about the sex, sensuality  and nudity that seem to be the norm nowadays.
Yeah, maybe I'm just old!!

My Baby is Eight!!

Today, my baby turns eight. I still have vivid memories of her as a baby. A baby who, even then was very strong willed, who made her displeasure known very loudly. She made me know that babies could get angry. That they too had emotions and mood swings. That babies did not just eat, poop and sleep. From the first moment, the bond between us was profound. I know they talk about fathers and their daughters and mine has hers lovingly wrapped round her little finger, but my daughter and I have a connection that is certainly heaven-sent. She knows, even when I try to shield her from my moods, she knows when I am sad, hurt or upset. As a baby, she would just snuggle in my arms and stare into my face, cooing quietly, as if to say "Don't worry Mummy, I'm here." As a toddler, she would just hug me and kiss me and say "Okay Mummy?" much the same way I'd hug and kiss her when she was upset. Now she comes to me and says "Don't be sad Mummy, okay? I love...

Vacation Time: Part I - Flying with children.

It's that time of the year. Vacation time! Yayyy!! Or is it "Oh No!"? Many of us will be boarding flights to some destination, where we hope to get some rest, relaxation and peace. Hope to. For mothers of young children, that may be a vain hope. Especially since many of our daddies seem to have meetings that prevent them from traveling on the same day with us. Or even when they are with us, they are conveniently seated away from the action hub! Convenient, yes? Beginning with the flight from home, we are already frazzled. Excited children, bored children, badly behaved children. Our children belong to one or more of these categories. Travelling with young kids can be trying but the stress can be minimized, believe it or not. I remember being so terrified at the thought of traveling with my two and a half year old daughter and her 14-month old brother that I spent a whole day researching ways to minimize the stress and prevent toddler meltdowns! I knew my daughter wa...

 My last post was May 12, 2019. Wow. Wow. And again, Wow. I haven’t written anything in three years. Except you count my WhatsApp responses to other people’s posts I think must be answered - people tend to say the darndest things and expect you to just accept it.  Social media has become a platform for social reform and most often not for the better - fact and fiction, gems and drivel are merged to form a warped “truth” spewed out with conviction and not many bother to check what’s what. Intellectual slothfulness and an absence of social responsibility? What’s that got to do with me writing? Nothing, lol. Just meandering - I am writing as I think, which means I jump back and forth between topics like a jumping jelly bean! Back to why I haven’t been writing. It’s not writer’s block in that I was trying to write but couldn’t, but more like I did not want to. Let me explain - my writing was always a function of my emotional state, and that state has been, well, let’s just use the...
