Thoughtful stories and everyday growth that bring calm, perspective, and inner brightness.
What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten?
The most delicious thing that I have eaten was when I was in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 and one of Riu Bambu Restaurants
It was a wonderful grilled Salmon with sweet potato fries with a nice chocolate dessert that was like a s’more that I wanted to have more.
It was amazing because I never had sweet potato french fries with an interesting side, with the taste of the well-cooked salmon made the night better. 😋
How do you practice self-care?
I used to neglect my self-care because of the same old excuses…
I’m busy
I don’t have time
The day is already over so what is the use
However, reading a book called Atomic Habits and listening to some good YouTube influencers who practice self-care has helped me.
Still a beginner, but taking it more seriously.
Some habits with the following cue, craving, reward and response that I have started for my self-care are…
How do you want to retire?
I want to retire peacefully and with a good mary to my name that I contributed to anything any company any foundation and they know that I tried my best and I’m completely thankful and free to do what I would love to.
The first thing is is travel, and do side, projects that would keep me engaged.
I love traveling and the world is so vast that I have not seen anything yet. I have more and more years of me ahead, if I would love to.
Well, because through life, there’s always this blockade, stages of kids, helping people and be involved in so many things that you forget to take care of yourself for a bit.
Even though the world is changing more and more that people are trying to do more self-care in the early stages. But in the retirement in stages, there’s more to look forward to.
What are you passionate about?
I’m passionate about so many aspects, activties and issues in the world.
What is your favorite season of year? Why?
My favorite season would have to be Summer. It was spring before, but I do remember it could be cold.
Plus when you live in the northern part of the world…. you wish it was good weather every day, instead of freezing, they’re using snow and cold weather.
So, Summer is my favorite season.
Like the Phineas and Ferb song goes…
🎶 The Days Are Longer, the Nights Are Shorter. The Sun is Shining🎶
It’s summer, every single moment is worth its weight in gold.
Summer, it’s like the world’s best story and it’s waiting to be told.
It’s ice cream cones and cherry soda dripping down your chin. 😁
It’s ☀️ summer man where we begin 🎶
If humans had taglines, what would yours be?
My tagging would a pharse that I am trying to achieve in my life.
Which is…I wanna uniquely live my life the best way I can.
With my birthday in the short form initials 😁
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?
Well, I’ve started reading more self-help books lately, because they really broaden my perspective.
All three books that I am still reading, fixed my problems with a little bit of time management, organization, taking charge, letting go control-wise, and personal-wise, looking at some good habits, and reminders of leading a peaceful and good life.
What fears have you overcome and how?
Hmm, recently I have tried to overcome my fear for a goal this year of going to a large social event by myself, with no friends or relatives or family members.
I was just going to a cool social event by myself, avec moi…
It’s really scary, but since I’ve gone to small events with my friends. I thought it might be a nice idea to take a big leap out of my comfort zone and go to a social event by myself.
And I would have to say it was pretty cool and fun. I got most of my comfort today but soon I was nervous at first but then I kind of blended in.
It was an anime convention called Anime North, and it’s usual, certainly every year in May that they usually have their convention to go see panelists, play games, and cosplay. It’s just nice to see the costumes and just to go around having fun.
Since I’m a big fan of anime, I’ve always loved watching it ever since I was young till now and forever, and I was really surprised at all the costumes and so many people that came for a genre that we all love to watch, which was interesting.
Do you practice religion?
Yes, my religion is Celestial/ Christian in modern terms. It’s a little bit of a mix between Christian and Evangelical.
I go to Celestial Church of Christ. It’s a Pentecostal church that was found in Benin. But it is spread worldwide and mostly in West Africa.
I pray to god and Jesus Christ every Sunday and always do my nightly and morning prayers.
I believe in the higher power that is in control of everything and everyone in this world.
What are you good at?
I’m a kind of perfectionist that I want to be good at everything…
However, I have been humbled…
And now know it is alright to be good at one thing and not another and build yourself to try a new skill or to not be aware of what I am good at so I’ll try my best.
For instance… I’m good at
That’s all I could think of.
A journey of grace, grit, and starting again.
Who you are? You are probably a nature lover, so why are you waiting? Just come and visit.
