A Message To The One I Love

 In the echoes of our shared history,

A tapestry woven with love's mystery.

Yet your absence leaves my heart torn,

In the silence, a yearning, a love forlorn.


Each day, the yearning only grows,

A melody of love, a story that flows.

But in this dance, a restraint appears,

A priority unmet, fueling my fears.


Beneath the surface, emotions hide,

A truth we can't ignore, can't cast aside.

For us to thrive, priorities must align,

Acknowledging the hurdles, now is the time.


In the midst of two worlds, economies frail,

Struggling with distance, love's ship sets sail.

African countries with burdens untold,

Yet finance strains, a story unfolds.


Your absence, like a puzzle unsolved,

Love persists, but can it be evolved?

To move forward, priorities must align,

Remove the obstacles, ask, "Is it time?"


In the garden of us, let understanding bloom,

Face the challenges, dispel the gloom.

Wisdom whispers, let's honestly see,

If the path ahead is meant to be.


So, let's rewrite our story, you and I,

Acknowledging the obstacles, aiming for the sky.

In the canvas of time, seek the heart,

Remove the barriers, make a fresh start.

Embarking on a Fresh Journey to Wellness: My Day One

Life has a funny way of nudging us toward the changes we need to make. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life... a journey to better health and wellness. It all started with a visit to the dietitian, a step that felt both intimidating and necessary. As I stood on the threshold of change, the number on the scale staring back at me in triple digits served as a wake-up call. The time had come for sacrifices, for prioritizing my well-being, and for taking the first steps toward a healthier and happier version of myself.

Facing the Reality: Embracing Day One

The decision to make a change wasn't easy, but I knew it was the right one. As I walked into the dietitian's office, a mixture of uncertainty and hope filled my heart. The number on the scale was a reminder of where I was starting from, a reality I could no longer ignore. Day One was about acknowledging the need for change and mustering the courage to take that first step.

The Power of Sacrifice: A New Perspective

Sacrifice is a word that carries weight, often conjuring thoughts of giving up things we enjoy. But as I begin this journey, I'm learning that sacrifice isn't about deprivation... it's about choice. Choosing long-term health over short-term comfort. Choosing nourishment over-indulgence. Choosing self-care over momentary gratification. Each sacrifice becomes a deliberate step toward transformation.

Small Steps, Big Impact: The Journey Unfolds

Today, I'm embracing change in small yet significant ways. Opting for a wholesome breakfast instead of a sugary treat, taking a walk every morning, increasing my fruit/vegetable intake, and staying hydrated throughout the day. These might seem like minor adjustments, but they mark the beginning of a journey that will lead to greater vitality and well-being.

Looking Ahead: A Vision of Wellness

As I take each step forward, I'm envisioning the rewards that lie ahead. Increased energy to tackle the day, improved health markers, and a sense of accomplishment with each milestone achieved. The journey won't always be easy, but the vision of a healthier and happier self is my guiding light.

Day One is just the beginning—a chance to rewrite my story and prioritize my health. With every sacrifice, I'm investing in my well-being and taking control of my future. The road ahead might have challenges, but it's also filled with opportunities for growth, self-discovery, and newfound resilience.

To all those who are also starting their wellness journey today, remember that you're not alone. Each day is a chance to make positive choices, to prioritize self-care, and to inch closer to the version of yourself that you aspire to be. So, here's to Day One, and to the exciting path of transformation that lies ahead.

If you're a plus size lady looking to rock your personal style, I've got you covered! Here are some essential fashion tips to help you embrace your curves and express yourself with confidence.

1. Embrace Your Body Shape:

Everybody is unique, and understanding your body shape is key to dressing well. Whether you're an apple, pear, hourglass, or rectangle, choose clothing that flatters your silhouette and accentuates your assets.

2. Prioritize Comfort:

Confidence comes from feeling comfortable in your skin. Opt for fabrics that feel good against your skin and styles that allow you to move with ease. When you're comfortable, your self-assuredness shines through.

The foundation of a great outfit is a well-fitted bra. Proper support enhances your posture and the way clothes drape on your body. Visit a professional for a bra fitting to find the perfect fit.

4. Play with Proportions:

Experiment with different proportions to create balanced looks. Pair fitted tops with flowing skirts or try a loose top with slim-fitting pants. Balancing proportions can create a harmonious and flattering effect.

5. Accessorize with Confidence:

Accessories are your style secret weapons. Bold statement necklaces, scarves, and trendy earrings can draw attention to your face and elevate your overall look.

6. Embrace Colors and Prints:

Don't shy away from colors and prints! Dark shades can be slimming, but vibrant hues and playful patterns can add flair to your wardrobe. Mix and match to find what resonates with your style.

7. Define Your Waist:

Creating definition at the waist can create an hourglass illusion. Try belting dresses or layering with a kimono to draw attention to this area.

8. Opt for Tailoring:

Tailoring can transform an outfit. Don't hesitate to get your clothes tailored to fit your body perfectly. Even simple alterations can make a huge difference.

9. Monochrome Magic:

Monochromatic outfits create a streamlined look. Experiment with different shades of the same color for an effortlessly chic ensemble.

10. Confidence is Key:

No fashion tip is as important as confidence. Wear what makes you feel fabulous, stand tall, and embrace your individuality. Confidence is the best accessory you can wear.

11. Shop with Intention:

Choose brands that prioritize inclusive sizing and styles that resonate with your personal taste. Explore plus size fashion stores that cater to your needs and empower your style journey.

12. Experiment and Have Fun:

Fashion is a playground of self-expression. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try new trends. Experimentation can lead to unexpected style discoveries.

13. Rock Your Signature Look:

Discover your signature style that reflects your personality. Whether it's boho chic, minimalist elegance, or urban edge, owning your unique look exudes confidence.

Fashion is a celebration of who you are, and as a plus size lady, you have the power to redefine beauty standards and embrace your curves with pride. By following these fashion tips, you'll be well on your way to curating a wardrobe that reflects your individuality and empowers you to shine from the inside out.
