Myriad of thoughts Running through your mind A dream of a beautiful and colourful future An irony of the present bleak and black situation Is it feasible or attainable? You ponder and wonder Just because you can't see something Doesn't mean it isn't there Keep your dreams alive!!  ~Alice Asuquo  

Fire+Ice Some are hot like fire;  Sweltering, tangy, hot and spicy Some are cold as ice; Numbing, frosty, cool and chilly Everyone can't be the same Howbeit, with tolerance and understanding We'll stay together in peace and love ~Alice Asuquo

I admire Her poise Her charisma Her elegance She's dauntless She's tenacious And she oozes class Here is a bold black woman Thinking globally And ready to rule her world Alice Asuquo

Life is like a race Each day brings a fresh start To dream again, hope again, try again And pursue those beautiful dreams again Others may arrive with the speed of a hare Some like the tortoise Howbeit, your focus shouldn't stray Stay right on track Keep running  Keep striving Keep going And don't quit Alice Asuquo www.writtenshare.blogspot.com

You'll grow and blossom Like a tree Planted by the riverside Its leaves doesn't wither It gets greener and brighter Because it receives lots of water Be like water to one another You'll also receive lots of shower For he that watereth must be watered #AbWPE #poetry ~Alice Asuquo

Let us make man in our image So He said at creation Dust He took from the ground And an awesome creature He made Yes, God formed you In His own image He made you The breathe of life He graciously gave Making you a living soul An awesome masterpiece you are! #Genesis ~Alice Asuquo

Let there be light At the sight of light Darkness takes its flight For when light arrives It brings beauty And radiates energy  This little light of mine I must let it shine Noon day or night It must shine bright Giving illumination to my world Alice Asuquo

Be it sunrise Or even sunset Under the sun Or in the rain Shine your light Even through the night Let focus alone Be the goal Alice Asuquo

Here's a decision she had to make With a step to take To stop just reading And also start writing She said no to fear And moved with a fast gear For the words that laid unexpressed Needed to gain expression From her thoughts to the world. -Alice Asuquo #AbWPE #WednesdayMotivation #poetry

Flipping through the pages of history Names and acts of great people I see I'm drawn to each story Of resilience, courage and victory I know I'm wired for greatness I'll stay focused to achieve success #ImpromptuInking #Motivation -Alice Asuquo

Tick tock Goes the clock Going forward ever And backward never Get your work done quick Because all it does is tick It waits for no man So hasten and do all you can Written by: Alice Asuquo

      I feel it's pertinent to share these lessons with you dear reader. They are life's lessons you can learn from and practice easily from the book 'Your best life now' written by Joel Osteen, one of my best pastors and author.    From the book, I learnt that your journey to a brighter future begins with these 7 steps; 1. Enlarge your vision: You must conceive it in your mind before you can receive it in your hand. Matt 9:17, Isa 43:19.  *Expect things to change for your favor for God always meets you at the level of your expectancy. * if you can visualize it with your heart and mind, seeing it through the screen of God's word with your spiritual eyes, it can become a reality in your life. 2. Develop a healthy self image: What do you think you are? You will never rise above the image you have for yourself in your mind. In life, you'll surely become what you believe Matt 9:27-29 3. Discover the power of your thoughts and words. The mind is like a mag...

    I am one person who really enjoys impromptu inking sessions,  I think my love for it stems from the fact that I've received two awards from impromptu writing competitions.      This makes me look forward to Wednesdays when @AfroBloggers will drop a prompt and call out African writers to write instantly about any picture he shares for the day. It's always a thrilling moment when we get to savour the sweetness of poetry from various shades of creativity and the fun it comes with.        There are times when I feel so lazy to write but once it's Wednesday, I try to pick up my pen and scribble some lines.

THE BEAUTIFUL SIDE OF SCARS    Someone will begin to ponder and wonder, 'what is beautiful about this scar of mine, this very scar I try to hide ?' I know they mostly appear ugly with lots of unpleasant memories. Apart from those ones on the skin, there are emotional scars that also hurt whenever the memories come to mind. We dare not talk about them because they do make us feel bad, unworthy and pained.      The truth is, we have dwelt on these thoughts for too long, let's move to the other side.... ~ The scars you see are a proof of healing. Without  healing, there will be no scar. That scar can serve as a testimony that God heals. ~ For every scar, there is a story to tell and there's something about stories... they inspire people, making them learn a thing or more. ~ Scars have a way of giving caution to people. It keeps reminding you not to make the same mistake or take the same step. ~It can birth purpose: When you see people who are in pains or strug...

2020 Bride👰 You might not be one. You might not even get to wear an engagement band or meet the one for you. In fact you might even experience a break up as you realize the one currently with you is not the one for you. You might not have one. You might not get to walk her down the aisle or even meet the one you would like to marry. 2020 sounds so sweet and rhymes perfectly to the ears but beyond that, they'll be lots of weddings and so many 2020 brides.. if you're like me, you've already seen more than a handful of "Save the date". Don't fall into undue pressure. Don't forget the truth you know about who you are and how your worth isn't dependent on societal norms and timelines. You might be tempted to feel set aside but remember that sometimes what we call "Set aside" is actually a "Set apart" for God's greater purpose and grandiose plans to be fulfilled in our lives. As you sail through 2020. Brace yourself u...

"Wait! She's not married at her age? Then why is she so happy??" "They're yet to have children? I can imagine the secret fights and unhappiness in their marriage. I wonder if they actually enjoy sex any longer seeing it has not yielded any fruits" _ How many times have we put others in a box of our life's expectancy and judged their happiness based on our skewed idea of what a happy life should consist of? And how many times have we let society define the boundaries of our joy, determine the clock-time of our lives and set timelines for our achievements? Leaving us weak, scared and discouraged over situations that are beyond our control. Yes, maybe you had a thousand abortions but consider that there are virgins treating infertility issues and prostitutes who get pregnant yearly. It doesn't all depend on your past sins. If God forgave you, you stand forgiven and whole. Wombs get restored, uterine temperatures and hormonal imbalances are no...

Amidst skyscrapers and mansions All you choose was a manger A lowly and poor stable So as to reach the disable and able An everlasting show of humility You came all the way from royalty An aristocratic dynasty   It is Christmas time Filled with lots of chime From home to home The carols play Joy to the world The Lord is come It is Christmas season But let's not forget the reason It is not about the chicken Well prepared and seasoned in the kitchen It is time to emulate Jesus His love and humility Years ago, He was born in a manger But today, He seeks to be born in your heart Is there any room for him? He accepted the manger When there was no room for Him in the inn Give Him a room in your heart Jesus loves you!  MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 🎄🎄🎄 Alice Asuquo
