I Am Just Me. A Unique Me. That Me is Who I Am!

State of Mind When Written: I was having a conversation with a colleague and somehow wondered off into blogs. Then I remembered my old blog and decided to pay it a visit. It was a simple follow up question on an article I directed my colleague to that led me into a discovery I had never thought of. The question was: "how many views did you get on that?" My response, I was clueless and didn't even know I could track it.... Then I logged in, and BAMMM!!


Today, after several years of being both an active & inactive blogger, I finally discovered how great GOOGLE really is! It had been tracking some valuable stats for me that I had never taken the time to appreciate. It tracked how many articles I had posted over the years. The number of comments, the location of most readers. But what fascinated me the most was the number of page viewers, article viewers and profile views that it had tracked.

I discovered that I had 1,641 Profile Views Since December of 2007!!! Are you kidding me??? Did we even have FaceBook and all those cool apps then? And I posted zero articles since 2009 except for 1 in 2014 again. Holy Cow!! And total "PageViews all time history was" - 2,398!! Those numbers MADE MY DAY...:)

The article with the most reads of 406 was "Are relationships overrated?".  Go fish for it.

I'm re-reading some of my own postings too. I guess I was always an Obama Girl! :)

Hey People, Listen!! I'm simply in awe!!

Something in me just got stirred up! It's the creative me!

It's alive again & it's going back to work!

Thank You Google!
Thank You Readers!
Please Come Back Again!

It's Mother's Day, but it's also exactly 1year since Daddy left Us (05/11/2013)!!!

Ahhhhhh!!!!

It's a solemn day.....for me that is!!!
I feel like celebrating, but I can hardly find the strength to. 
She was called Grace & she lived up to her name.
Mama left us far too soon. We barely had a chance to know her.
We have fond childhood memories of her.
I still remember the gentle edges of her beautiful face like fresh cologne.
And the images of her smile and voice re-echo in my head.
Her sudden departure changed our lives forever.
My memories of a mother's hug and love may seem forlorn,
Yet the little I have has stayed with me till this day.
Pieces of her life get offered to us by her friends & family.
I pause to give special thanks to the Sakerettes. 
What an honor to discover the woman she was....
Graceful Grace Bosen Daiga.... Gone but not forgotten!!

But.....
There was Daddy. Ba Daiga!! 
He stepped up like no other man that I know.
He had big shoes to fill and he did the very best he could.
He became Mama & Daddy. Our resource, our life-line.
Though I was young, I could tell the times when 
he was challenged by his dual role. But he braved it.
We used to forage his home office out of pure curiosity 
As though we were on a candy chase.
I discovered books on how to raise your children, parenting guides,
 prayer points on children and family & special notes in his dairy.
Yes, he kept a dairy/journal - detailed ones too....:)
And true confessions, I was naughty, we were. 
(i snooped around).....it's a girl thing. Sometimes I think he 
deliberately left some notes...:) And We thought We were smart?? ...Oh well

Even though we had Daddy around for much longer, he still left too us soon.
The void and emptiness is almost tangible.
The sting of their departures .....
I miss them. I Will Always Love them.
I'm still thanking God for selecting them as my parents, our parents.
They did great! We are braving it too. Standing tall.
We will never forget them. Never....R.I.P
Keep watch over us Private Angels!!

On this day, I say thank you to all The Aunties, 
My many Aunties, My grand-mothers & Friends who made 
it so much easier for us to not feel this void. 
I only hope God grants me more so I can pay it forward.  
May heaven enrich & enlarge your kingdoms.

Happy Mother's Day to All The Women Out There!!
