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.

Where to, from here? -> The Wall

We're right at the beginning of the new year. You should be looking forward to it but you're not. You should be making some major changes that are so lacking in your character, but you're not. You should be taking the all important steps to bring stability and wipe away those debts but you don't. I hear you, it is not because you don't want to change things but you go on to explain that it's because you still don't have the tools to make the wrong in your life right. Last year you tried against all odd, eventhough you didn't have the so called tools or means to succeed, but you tried. You pulled yourself together and decided to change your LIFE! You had so much energy, so much drive. You had a few victories and these steered you on. Until, you came acoss some obtacles, you tried to look for the solution - to make this change happen- but none was within your reach. You knocked on doors until your knuckles turned white and bruised with fustration - mor...

Habits

There are good habits and there are bad habits. Most of the time it's the bad habits that tend to infiltrate into our daily routines and they seem to stock to you stonger than superglue. To take themout of your life takes more energy and determination than you can imagine. I read an article about habits in the Monthly FIA magazine which spoke about a young chap called Stefan who had struggled with a drinking problem for years. His other bad habit was jumping from one girl to the next, as soon as he got what he wanted, he would move onto his next conquest. When he decided to change his habits, he realised that he had to change his environment first. So he took a drastic decision of moving from sunny St Lucia to the icy cold England. Leaving behind all his friends helped because they would have easily influenced him to go back to the destructive cycle of drinking and womanizing. You might be thinking well my bad habit does not hurt anyone. I just arr...

Hello... Anybody There?

It's been a while, I know. Been meaning to write or at least upload my vlogs on here. Yet it has been me chasing time. Me against procrastination. Getting over the apparent wall, called the writers block. And the bottom line is: belief, self assurance and trusting your inner self. And above all trusting in God. For a while now, I have had the distinct urge to write, to document, to share my 2 cents with the world. Or a few who will somehow wonder onto this platform. So I decide right here, right now. To cut down dramatically my Netfliximg and chill time. And focus on my apparent calling. I have been put to the point of discomfort, when from time to time, I would hear deep from the inner realms of my being " write, go on, just write, you gotta write - now!" Floating in and out of consciousness ideas and stories cry out to free themselves and be heard. Even if, just to seen by the write herself. Today I choose to brush aside the temporary discomfort of getting my w...
