Help! My iPad ain't charging!

First Drafted: 29/6/14

I'm on 2%. iPad is on the verge of dying.  This charger ain't doing nothing.  I try again and again, to no avail.  Changing the charger temporarily helped until another issue put my dated ipad to sleep for a couple of years, literally. 

Two years down the line, with a new member of the family about to be 5 months.  Finally my hubbie came to the rescue it was 2016.  He managed to get the screen fixed which had been the last issue in 2015. Unfortunately, with a busy baby at large, the screen once again played up and the only answer was to send it back to the insurers.  However due to complication my darling iPad once again sits quietly gathering dust till I perhaps replace it with a more recent model.

One can imagine the frustration I felt when the first jam happened. But the first thing I had to do was calm down.  Being upset was definitely not going to help.  The very
first thing was to try and get a solution.  Then when option one didn't work out, the second option was tried.  When that option didn't work and it was just blank and dead.  I had to decide to move on.

How many times when certain situations turn into something we do not intend or want.  For example being in a job you hate.   An end of a friendship or a broken relationship. First step as I did with the iPad is try and see if there is a solution.What are the options?  Then implement the solution. Go ahead and see if option 1 or 2 or even 3 would work.  After trying and noting that the broken thing, relationship or unhappy work environment is not changing for the better.  The best thing to do sometimes is to just calmly but steadfastly decide and choose to walk away.

In my later years, I have learnt to learn from all situations.  Above all I have learnt to let go of all baggage and trauma that may be associated with such circumstance. 

In short: in all situations keep calm whether things are going you way or not.  Try and find a solution. And if need be let go and calmly move on with a clean heart and peace in your soul. Knowing you gave your all, you tried your best.  However if its a toxic situation.  The best thing to walk away as early as possible.

When the sun bows out, with a smile

Nothing takes away the blow that hits your shallow pit of your stomach.  Closely followed by the stream of tears that involuntarily drip from your face. As I continuously and repeatedly moaned "No! No!" It can't be I thought out loud. I have just learnt that the mother of one of my best friends has passed away. What's upsetting is that a gentle shining star has been returned to her Creator. She was a woman of faith. Having been through the loss of one of her daughters recently, she stood in her faith and kept marching on. Through the pain of loss. She trusted and depended on the Author of her life. She was the one who told us off as we tried to go to places where we were not supposed to.  She never minced her words nor her opinions which were based on her faith. The same faith that we professed and tried to lead. But as teenagers, we thought she was cramping our style. Yet she tried to protect us. It's true we do not know the hour. Her hour came wi...

Sisters for life

My Big sis Gugu and my cousin Sne Letters to my sisters, I have decided to write these letters not only to stay in touch but also to play a role in your life as I am not close by for those moments of need, when you need someone to talk to, when you need a shoulder to cry and when you need a true friend.   These are letters are not only addressed to my physical sisters, but also to all women in general.   Especially those who are about to enter the next most important a crucial phase of their lives: adulthood.     I am hoping these letters will bridge the gap of the physical distance that separates us, presently.   Above all I hope these letters will ignite hope, confidence, self-belief and a living faith in the one who holds all things in His Hands. I promise not to judge you but to show you a sisterly love.   I promise not to criticize you, but to boost your confidence.   I promise not to put down with words that will create doubts, but to lift ...

Lowest Point

Have you ever reached a point in your life when you have felt like it just cannot get any worse, when you feel you have reached rock bottom. Well that is the phase that I am currently going through at this present moment. Bear with me as I attempt to fill you in. Well it all begun about 4 weeks ago when I went into work one Tuesday, I worked for a concession within a Mega clothing Store in Oxford Circus. I had just come back a day before from a lovely chilled out week long break I was feeling refreshed, energised and ready to face the challenges of working in the hectic environment that I worked in. A liitle background on what I was doing at this particular job, well I was kind of in charge of the concession because I worked full time, so if anything went wronge it would all go onto my head. I I started the long day at 8:30am and had to finish at 6pm but most of the time I clocked out at 6:20-6:30pm. I don't mind hard work but working under stressful environment was what I had t...
