Today, I celebrate brotherhood…

Many moons ago… on the cusp of becoming parents for the very first time, I reached out to a younger friend turned brother… Bobby. A college boy at the time… but present, willing, available.
Together, we set up our baby’s cot… capturing moments in pictures… and stepping, unknowingly, into a new chapter of life.

Fast forward… eleven years later…

Another child on the way… but this time, the air felt different. The excitement… quieter. The weight… heavier. And there I was again… faced with a cot to set up… a phase I thought I had long outgrown.
But Bobby… was no longer a call away. Life had happened. Distance had grown. He had moved on… thriving… rising… becoming.

And in that moment, I sank into my thoughts… You are alone now… No one is coming… Face your reality… carry your cross…

But then… a whisper within… Soft… but certain…

“There are many other Bobbys around you…”
You can stay here… or you can reach out.
And so I did.

I made a shortlist… and I called JS.

And just like that… presence showed up again.
We didn’t just set up a cot… We built something more that evening… Clearing out my garden shed… Unpacking thoughts… Sharing space… Honouring the quiet gift of access.

And it became clear…

You are not alone… You were never alone…

What you think you’ve lost… may simply have changed form. Because help… support… healing… They are always around…

Waiting… for you to yield.

By the way, JS… My shed is calling again…

Forward ever!

Scrolling through my phone gallery I saw an old picture of myself wearing a red cardigan and a black jacket. A very lovely picture. The boy looked good.
That picture brought back so many memories. I think I took it while rounding off business school — a school I paid for with my savings… or rather, my entire life savings — less about £500 — a gift from my big brother.
Seeing that picture reminded me of how far I’ve come. It’s one of those pictures you look at, pat yourself on the back, and say, “Olanrewaju, you’ve come a long way.”

Later in the day, I saw a post at work that said, “Keep a done list alongside your to-do list.”
I found that profound.

We focus so much on our to-do lists that we forget our done lists as we move on to the next task, the next goal, the next big thing. But your done list celebrates your little wins. It reminds you that you haven’t been losing. You are not useless. Your life is not bad — you’ve just not been paying attention to what you’ve already accomplished while staring at what’s left to do.

The message is simple:
Take more pictures. Capture the moments. Write your done list and celebrate the little wins.

Have a great week!

I can't believe it has been over 1 year I pinned my thoughts and "adventures" here. The last one year has been hectic... I have stretched, leaped and grown.

I became a father for  the third time - story for another day and have pursued some long term dreams. One of the dreams is exploring a business venture and I must confess it has been a lot of work.

Recently, I had a conversation with one my mentors who I will refer to as HO...a serial entrepreneur.  I asked HO when it will get better, I mean the pressure of career, family,  business and everything in between.  HO's response shocked me...he said:

" It doesn't get better or easier, but you get better in handling issues and task"
The message is clear: BUILD CAPACITY.

You might not have direct control over your "expenses" but you can control your "Income".
In life you do not have control over everything but you can control the major things.

If you are in debts...don't dig deeper...control your expenses and increase your INCOME.
If you don't enjoy your job...upskill and CHANGE career.
If you don't like your weight...change your relationship with FOOD!
What of an unhealthy marriage...seek HELP!

It' s time to build CAPACITY and be intentional.

Enjoy your life!

Are you sure this invite is not for my brother?
That was my reaction when I got this invitation.

It took me a while to post this, mainly because it is not the part of me I project on Social Media.
Shortly after my birthday in January,  God told me it was time, the hide and seek is over. And I said YES!

Thereafter, invitations started coming in and I was not surprised when I was officially ordained as a Pastor on 7th July 2024 - although I have been called Pastor since Uni days.

Please join me if you are around Crayford, Kent tomorrow at 10am as I minister at RCCG The City of God. You will be blessed!

Few weeks ago, Wify drew my attention to our airing cupboard, she noted the carpet in the cupboard is wet. By the way, our airing cupboard houses our hot water tank, but I did not pay much attention... "I ignored" and life continued as normal.

Last week Saturday, I was in the kitchen with Wify when she said - " Wow, why is the ceiling stained".
Apparently, the leakage in the airing cupboard has penetrated the walls, into the Kitchen ceiling, stained the wall and POP.

I was sad, why did "I ignore" the warning. I will have to fix the leakage, fix the POP and paint the walls. This is stressful...

It is the same thing with many of us...
Your body is showing some symptoms - but you have ignored it.
You have some bad habits - but you have ignored it.
You are drifting from your spouse - but you have ignored it.
You are living above your means - but you have ignored it.

I was able to make some calls, parted with some pounds and solution is on the way. But you might not be so lucky.

The part of the world I am from says, "the placenta is buried the day you set your eyes on it".
Stop denying the existence of an issue - face it, fix it, do not IGNORE.

Have a great week.

It has been a hectic season for Kiki - my daughter, she has been busy with secondary school entrance exams and assessments. Few days ago we were coming from an exam and as her personal driver, I was driving her home from the exam center.
We realised there was Boot Sale in a hamlet close to our village. We decided to branch to see what was on offer.
This was our 1st boot sale experience, we saw many interesting items like old coins, old notes, designer wears, jewellery, knitted items etc.

I decided to buy some items, it was then I discovered that it was a cash only event. At that moment it dawned on me how cashless I have become. I asked the seller if I could pay via bank transfer, this she reluctantly agreed to.
I brought out my phone but there was no "network bar" ...Gosh, we are in a hamlet.

Then I heard myself say to the seller - "can you trust me enough to transfer this funds to you when I get home".
To my utmost surprise, the seller said "Yes", she took the risk - she allowed me take the items with the expectation that I will pay when I access the internet.

As we approached our house, I decided to test my daughter, I told her - "maybe I should not transfer the funds to the seller. Afterall she doesn't know where to find me."

Kiki said, "you can not do that, I know you too well. You are a good man, you can not do such. But if you do, I will feel so bad and I may never talk to you again".

I think we (my wife and I) have done a good job.

Who are you when no one is watching? Can you be trusted? Is your promise a deed?

Do not think no one is watching, there is an audience of one!

Have a great week!
