When I Grow up...

Dear Diary,

Tis the season to be jolly..Tra la la la la la la lah.

I spent My Easter fulfilling one of my life’s dream for the first time. I remember growing up, i would say to my siblings..when i grow, i wanna be on T.V..i wanna have a make up Artist and a hair stylist at my beck and call and wear nice clothes and look FABulous. Really, i didn’t know what i was gonna be doin on TV..i just wanted to have the typical Glamourous life where my job is just to look good and be on TV. Well, higher self, i’m happy to announce to you that my dream of been a Talk Show Host is no more on my wish list..Its on a different list-MY REALITY list.

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it may tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come” Habakkuk 2:3


As i spoke to one of my guests on the show yesterday, we spoke about achieving one’s life purpose and calling on Earth. Alot of us need to rewind our mental tapes to 15years ago or even 20 years ago to when we were kids and we dreamed.

As pure unassuming children, we had dreamz we wanted to fulfil. We really need to backtrack to our Kinda garten(KG) classes when our teachers will call on us and say “OLu, what do you wanna be when you grow up”, and Olu says in the cutest voice
“When i grow up, i wanna be a Pilot”

Now, at that age, we are not aware of any constraints, we have no road blocks, there’s no one telling us stories of what they tried to do and Could not do hence WE CANT DO IT. Olu just know he wants to fly planes and smthg about flying planes appeals to him..maybe its the uniform, maybe its the pilots swag, maybe its the thrill of flying..something!


My challenge to you is to hold onto those dreamz, don’t let it go. Get rid of the mental constraints..the only thing that has changed since 20 yrs ago is that NOW IS THE TIME to SHINE. You’re now old enough to take the necessary actions you need to be taking.

If God put the dream in you, until you fulfill it, you will always wake up with an urge of smthg you know you shld be doing...i hear you saying..where are the resources? When that voice came up in my head..i did what i’m asking you to do right now..dont wait to have it all together..just start with what you have..the universe conspired to favour me..i have no idea where the resources came from..they just showed up in the midst of me PREPARING to be a talk show host.


In my diary 2007/2008 i had topics for my show when i didn’t know what a studio looked like! Call it insanity if you will buh yesterday, it definitely wasn’t insanity to have an entire Production crew, a sexy ass studio, Fancy ward robe and Makeup. It was BOURGY!

Lessons Learned

You don’t have to see the entire picture to start sketching

Dont wait to be great..or to be BIG..start being BIG right now with what you have

As we don’t know how the bones of a child are formed in the womb of an expectant mother..dont try to have it all figured out..do your part...God will send the support you need

Dont let a day pass without LIVING. (Doing smthg you’re passionate about)
WHEN I GROW UP, i wanna be FABulous and live a life of Glits & Glam and BE ON TV...What do you wanna do when you “grow up”???

Mental Tuffness

Dear Diary,

Uhmm…it was Toonie Tuesday 2day!!

Much more than Kentucky Fried Chicken toonie deals, I got a blow that sprung me outta bed today…i call It a “Toonie Thought”


First off my head is working much faster than my body this morning…little toonie thoughts of money started trickling in..worries of how this bill is gonna be paid

And that bill..and oh..those stupid Telus (phone service provider) guyz keep calling me..and I need to make that call and fill that form and call that lady before the

Deadline is up..and least I forget I haven’t confirmed with that person..bla blah blah!

Before I know it, its 8am!! Goshhh, cant believe ve been up for the last 15mins getting sapped out now I’m gonna run late to work..ooh no!

But before that feeling escalates, ‘m in the shower where I get more relaxed, get a hold of myself and BREATHE!

I take control of fear n worry cuz it has no control over me and all that this thought really is, is a TOONIE, soo small so i switch gears and I focus on success..i bolster my courage..buh for that courage to come..i practice believing in myself


so i condition my mind to off set fears and limitations through Mental Tuffness and I do what I’m telling you to do right now..start speaking the word..i remind myself who I am and who’s I am..

And by the time ‘m done my affirmations, ooooh boy, I am pumped n energized and ready to GO! bring it on World!

LESSONS LEARNED

When the mediocre toonie thoughts come sipping in, dont let it slide. Neutralize and overcome with positive affirmations.

The 10th Step

Dear Diary,

Evry second..evry minute..evry moment..evry day i spend quality time in the presence of God..i feel refreshed. I feel alive. I feel rejuvenated. Like a drop of water on a really thirsty day. I feel like ve expanded and stretched into a new realm.

Church is more than just another ritual to me..its an appointment to meet with God and together we go over my progress report and he tells me Keeep goin Ehi..Keep Going..ur doin a FANtastic job and i say Thank you Jesus..i was hoping for that pat on the back. We discuss my dreams n aspirations...my job..my r/ships..we discuss what i used to call my failures..till he told me sweetie, you have NEVER failed..it was the attempt that failed not you..and since then, ve changed my mindset. I CANNOT FAIL!! If God cannot fail, then i cant fail cuz i am made in his image and likeness.

We’d save that sermon for another day..What i really wanna talk about is what i learned in church today, FAITH. I struggle with faith cuz i think logically..if i cant make sense of it, i don’t understand it..in recent weeks though, am learning to do away with “the-how” and just focus on believing..cuz if i can conceive it, i can believe it and if i can believe it, i can achieve it.

I have decided to put my faith to work and forget about operating in the natural..so i am committing to take on this exercise in this next 30days and ve called it.

Ehi’s 10-Step




1) Pick one Task or request...If this is your first time doing this, start with something small

2) Make sure you can believe it...imagine the aftermath/effect of getting what you desire

3) Release all worry, fears and limiting beliefs...This was my problem area but it helps to speak positive things when negative thoughts arise

4) Decide that you deserve what you’re asking for...i have NO problems with this area at all..as far as ‘m concerned, if there’s a gold toilet, i deserve it LOL

5) Realize God wants you to prosper...He calls us a city set upon a hill that cannot be hidden

6) Convince yourself that the resources you need to achieve this task will come to you..Relax, the universe will co-operate with ya

7) Deliberately raise your vibrations...surround yourself with positivity, it will attract more positive things and people to your life

8) Prepare for its arrival...an expectant mother doesn’t wait till delivery time to shop for her baby init? cuz she’s not doubting the existence of her baby..she KNOWS its there so why are you waiting?

9) Dont you dare SHUT UP!..keep confessing it..tell evry one that cares to listen..According to my Jamaican friend, one who’s mouth is closed will starve!

10) Praise God! Exude Gratitude! Be genuinely thankful...dont you say thank you if someone offers you smthg? Even before you see it? So, whats your problem again??
