Dear Diary,
My heart is heavy…its soo heavy I literally have to source for something to make me happy..so I made up a gratitude list to remind me of things that are working so I don’t get consumed with whats NOT.
I’m usually able to bounce back quicky when I experience this feeling..but this time its harder than usual..i hardly journal twice a day except for days like today when my writing is more cathartic than anything else..its taking a lot to provoke a happy hormone..I’m not sure if it has anything to do with the wet n cold weather or if its just primarily the much not going my way..I’m still trying..I continue to make effort to knock it off
It’s consolin to hear good news reeling all around me though..marriage proposals, job offers, house purchases happening to my friends..
Those made me smile and I know mine is on its way and I’m willing to wait for it.
Today It rained and I got drenched and I hated it BUT I got a ride a mini distance and I got home safely
Today, some one close to me really disappointed me and made me sad BUT some one showed me so much kindness and went out of his way for me
Today, I missed an appointment to run an errand BUT today I delivered some service and got compensated for it
Today, I sat in front of my computer and did little BUT today I made it to work safely in my 4inch stilettos, helped two clients and learnt about hair
Today, I wished today never came BUT today makes me appreciate better days like Tomorrow.
Good Night,
Bourgy Babe.

GRATITUDE DIARIES
Dear Diary,
I’m having an awesome moment right now!
I’m really thrilled and enthused about life right now..No, I didn’t get a promotion and I haven’t got my car yet or my fancy condo or stumbled unto some sweet molar deal. All it took to feel this estactic was to reminisce on my last 2 years and I just bursted out in praise and gratitude…when life hands us challenges and difficulties, its often hard to be of good cheer and recollect the seeming “little miracles” that has been delivered to you. Today, I stopped in my tracks to give thanks for an amazing last 2years.
As I began to fill my gratitude diary, I realized I had covered well over 3 pages. The more I wrote, the more I recollected.
I recalled the big moments and the small miracles and it just felt good to know even though I’m not where I want to be YET, I am certainly NOT where I used to be.
I have a lot to be thankful for so I’m not supplicating today just appreciating.
I am thankful for 134Elitz Magazine…even though I do not publish that magazine anymore, the doors that have opened to me as a result of that position have been mind blowing!
I am thankful for that night Tosin and I had no place to sleep, like we were BROKE BUSTED n HOMELESS we walked into a club and she uttered "i wish someone would just offer us a hotel now" Literally 2mins later, God brought a gentleman by the name of Bobby..he asked "Do you mind if i booked a hotel for you girls" hah!! Not only did we get a hotel, the offer came with meal and full tank of gas! and no, he didnt want anything..we havent seen him since then!
I am thankful for that moment I thought it was O-V-E-R for me on my way to Detroit with Nike and Tosin-Phew! That one defies human comprehension..verrry close call!
I am thankful for the instant bail out when I got an eviction notice on my door and literally hours later, God sent me rent for 4months!
I am thankful for when I had immigration complications and God once again came through for me. An immigration officer called me and said ‘Ehi, what do you want’..Blank cheque!!!!
I am thankful for the Bourgeoisie show! I’m living my life exactly like I dreamed!
I am thankful for my health-I sincerely do not remember what a hospital looks like, haven’t been in over 2decades!(no exaggerations here)
I am thankful for my job, my future, my relationship, my parents, my family, my friends..my awesome Destiny!
I could not write much, this is just one third of my gratitude diary..i wanted to inspire you to think..really think of what you’ve been through and all the close calls and the blessings..you will be AMAZED.
I am thankful for YOU reading this..thank you for reading
Stay in an attitude of Gratitude,
