2009 The Year of Comebacks..... Behold, God is doing a ‘New Thing’.....Don’t look back.....
"I didn't do anything for a year. I mean, nothing......Everyone was asking, 'What have you done?' But I had nothing to show them. I didn't go anywhere. I didn't write anything. I didn't work. I sat at my kitchen table for a whole year, people came and people went, life drifted by. It was just bleak. Bleak." Corinne Bailey Rae
"When things get really bad...sometimes it's better to restart and build again" Mischa Barton
“Remember not the former thing. Neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing, Even now it is springing to light. Do you not perceive it? A way will I make in the wilderness And rivers in the desert!” Isaiah 43:16, 18-19
I believe that, if you haven’t had to start [all over] again by the the age of 35, –then you are either ‘No threat to the devil’–or you haven’t ‘dared-to-live’. I had to comeback again -this year after letting go of my model agency [and other stuff], -and all the heartache that this experience entailed –nearly killed me, but by God’s Grace [Amen] –I am back. And so -I would like to thank God because:
"Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal. From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will befall you.” Job 5:17-19
I would also like to send out some BIG Love to Okomfo Kwaade, Lord Kenya, myself, Mischa Barton, Eminem, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears and Holly Johnson [Frankie Goes to Hollywood] and anyone [reading this] –who has had to start again, -and 'comeback' this year. Don’t begrudge the experience folks, –because these are the very lessons –that are needed to get 'you' -to the next level [by Gods Grace ...Amen].
Note, - you’ll know you have been delivered/corrected/healed by God's grace [and are making a comeback] because you will no longer have ‘Anything’ to prove. After the storm, you will notice many things.....-for example; you’ll find that you –can no longer do anything without God [and accept this fact without bitterness]. You’ll also notice that you only have two friends left [if you are lucky /blessed. You will know for sure who your [real] friends are –and be very selective about the rest, -letting only those –who are going to edify and nourish your soul –within an inch of your temple/your being]. Note, - you’ll also find it very difficult to gossip or judge people after this period ...and will be greatly distressed by poverty/injustice/hurting children/bad governance etc. But the most amazing of these new blessings are –the ‘No Bitterness’ and the ‘No Prejudice’ feelings. To hear someone disrespect another [because they come from a different place –say] –is such an ugly experience. I got a big revelation during this period too –and it was to do with God having –purposefully created every human being [of every colour and of every race] –and thus, to hate Polish people [for example] –is to hate God, or hate Jewish/Nigerian/Ghanaian/Gambian people etc – is to hate God [this type of revelation is soo big –and will only come to you ‘during’ a storm]...
But the biggest change is the creativity. I seem to be bursting with lots and lots of creative ideas. I guess there is nothing like coming back from ‘Hell’ to get all your creative juices going –just look at this Blog [hehehe] Merry Christmas folks [and welcome back]....Don't look back......’Big-tings-are-gwa'on.. next year!!! xxx

Words of Wisdom: Nicki Minaj -the new face of Rap...
"They're trying..........Could you give us a freaking break? I support all of the girls. Anybody doing something, I support you girls. And I think sometimes the girls think I don't support them or I don't want to see them succeed. Even when they say slick sh*t about Nicki Minaj, I'm still thinking, I wish you well. Because this is a movement, it's bigger than Nicki Minaj. It's just a movement and I want to be a part of something big. Pause." Nicki Minaj [The latest Queen of Rap, -putting sisterhood first,-about bloody time, me thinks!!!]
"I just have a lot of younger fans now and I didn't anticipate that when I came out. When the younger people started really following me I just wanted to be more responsible with what I said and did because I don't want young girls out here thinking that it's cool to be stupid or to be a hoe," she said. "That's not what I promote. I promote being a business savvy girly girl that likes to be witty and have fun and at the same time just balance a career. I want them to take that from Nicki Minaj and nothing else. So, I definitely did change it up on purpose. I've never been a raunchy overtly sexual person so I think that was just one facet of my personality that I showed early on but that's never been the entire person that I am." Nicki Minaj
Music: Fally Ipupa featuring Olivia of G-Unit -Wow what a co-la-bo!!!
I love this ......and Olivia looks hot Fire!!! The future is A.F.R.I.C.A –CA -CA....... African languages are very beautiful, -and at the top of my list are the; Akan, Ewe, Hausa, Ga and off cause -Lingala [as heard above] languages ...................................xx

Fashion et al Hearts Amber Rose
Love her or loathe her...that’s your biz-ness. Is she with kanye or not –I’m soo not interested but talk about her style and my ears pick-up.....-she just has it [in bucket loads]. From the bleached blond hair to that wacky [good wacky –folks] make-up ....via the leggings –I just love her style. Nobody 'gives' better 'accessories' and I never tire of her eclectic collection of shades [she seems to have a pair for every occasion]. I love her edgy-urbanite take on ‘high-fashion’......x
