Wait a minute…

 Have you ever had a moment where you just had to pause and think….

Wait a minute…

Something about this doesn’t feel ‘right’. 

I did.

I just paused and thought… 

Not me…. turning 45!!!

But, but, but I’m still a baby girl na. 45 how? 

Ah’ah, my flabber is very gassted with this fresh information that by the time you read this, I would have turned 45; as my birth certificate claims (yes oh, claims) I was born by 7:25am on this day, 45 years ago… *gasps in 45!!!*

*Smiling in semi denial cz… baby gyal na, baby gyal I is!*

Ok, ok, forgive me, I’m just in a wee bit of shock. 

So how’ve y’all been? Good, great? Awesome! 

I just realized that my last post here was my birthday post last year and I may or may not have promised to do better and post a lot more…

But you know how it is, life be lifing and some things, though important, end up taking the back seat. 

Anyways, I am here now and it is another birthday!!! 

Yay!!!

Let me give you a lil recap of my 2025.

I started a small business, yes, I did! 😊

It has been rewarding and humbling and I totally love creating all lovely bead designs… I’m grateful for it! 

The real Vira (I shared about it here) turned 3! How time flies, right? 

I went on a few trips, and generally just mothering, wife-ing, office-ing, beading and WTF-ing my way through life.

Oh, I am officially a student again, I am on the road to being a Therapist! Pray for this 45 year old brain, pls!

Like i said earlier, life has been lifing and God has been God!!

So through all and for all, I am grateful. I am grateful for life, I am grateful for my family, for my friends; new and old… grateful for it all, honestly and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This year, 2026 started tough.

But thankfully, I slowly picked myself up, gave it all to God and chose to believe for the best year of my life yet! 

And I tell you, it has been a good year already! 

My song for the year is El-Roi - this is my beginning! This song carried me through the tough first few weeks of the year, it is truly my song for the year. 

Errr, what else? 

Well, I do have plenty gists sitting in my draft folder and you’ll get to read them soon, as I get myself to edit and post.

So this is cheers to 45!

Amen to my best days ahead of me.

Amen to becoming everything I have prayed for.

Amen to choosing joy, peace, me and mine and who dey for me.

Amen to trusting my journey and loving where it is going.

Amen to being strong, capable and unstoppable.

And yes to becoming wiser and more me! 

Thank you all for the amazing birthday messages and love shown to my very very humble self, although na cash in a sack remain to complete the matter. 😁😁

Oh, and please if you don’t mind, like and follow my business pages on instagram and facebook.

That would be the best birthday gift you’ll give me and it would mean so much to me. Thank you.
