MY CHURCH MEMBERS KNOW ME AS THAT WRITER - BUT THE TEENAGERS DIDN'T GET THE INFO


A  beautiful teenager squatted beside my chair after the Sunday service today. 


I didn't see her at first; until her soft palm glided through my arm - she was greeting me. 

'Hello,' I turned to her. 

Deborah is one lovely girl that I would love to teach over and over again. 

Our first ever meeting was in March - the period before Easter, I had organized an insightful two weeks writing and speaking training for the teenagers in my church. 

Despite the fact that it was a sponsored program by the church, only five teenagers showed up. 

The admin already got my account details and was about to pay for all, when I told him to hold on, that it was just five persons. 



Back to Deborah,

It's more than a month plus now, and Deborah already curated her first manuscript. 

In her words this afternoon,

'Ma, I'm becoming serious about my first book. Last week, I got stuck in chapter two, I don't know how to go about it anymore, I need your help.'

I looked beyond the words and I saw a teenager who's beginning to get invested in her personal development. 

I saw a teenager who took my words seriously and is beginning to work towards a great goal in her life.

If not for anything, I am bounded by the promise that I made in my heart towards them - that I'd be here to hold them by the hand and guide them through this phase of their life. 

Today, I did that. And here are the things I told Deborah - it will help you, too.

👉If you ever get stuck in any of your chapters, please revisit your topic. 

👉After you're done, make sure you can have a grasp of what the concept is all about. 

👉Go ahead and break that idea into small chunks. 

👉Let's assume that each chunk is the idea of a chapter. 

👉So, when you start, please understand the full picture of what each chapter should be. 

👉And if after doing all these, you get stuck again, then you need to work on your imagination. 



It might be that your creative funnel needs a little tweak. And that's what I help you do. 




I am Mayaki Blessing - I help you craft YOUR story in a way that'd seem like you wrote it. It will be SO authentic and relatable.

PETALS OF THE RAINBOW

AN ALERT OF 700 DOLLARS ON A SUNDAY MORNING

Image
An alert of 700 USD on Sunday morning!  I became numb for about 5minutes after seeing the notification at around 3:00am on my phone. Who could have sent this to me, now? I didn't do any foreign transaction in the past week, so I wasn't even expecting a top up in my domiciliary account.  My husband could tell that I was tossing on the bed because I couldn't really sleep. Because in my head, I was doing all sort of permutations and calculations for the money!😂  Lo and behold, when my eyes had cleared properly by dawn next morning, it turned out to be that it was the same message box that my bank was using to send me transaction details. I mean it is the same message box for my naira and USD account. 😂  UBA got me there. 😂 But what was I thinking? Apparently, I was carried away and drowsiness didn't even help matters. This greatly reminds me of today's message on FAITH. It is okay to expect a miracle from God. But how do you fold your hands, sit and expe...

I HAPPILY ACCEPT EGOISTIC MEN!

Image
  Hello? Can you see that? Yes/No. If need be. Please adjust and re-adjust your glasses And yes, I am screaming this with an unapologetic effect I ..................... Happily Accept The Egoistic  ....................men.                                     Relax! I will make you see the reasons. A message flashed into my inbox from a young man, few days ago. I had wanted to ignore his first two greetings as a result of his language style, but I had to give him the benefit of doubt. Not too long, we had series of conversations beyond that. And just within the first few days, when I would have thought we should progress by an inch closer to being platonic friends. His contact was deleted from my HATE list. Yes, you got that right. And why would I ever do that in the first instance? He wasn't meant to be enlisted in the first place and I gave him reasons. Seeing that I was too peculiar abo...

How to survive in a demonic environment. (Three Powerful ways.)

Image
  I want to share Three Powerful ways by which you can survive in a demonic environment/territory.  I was discussing with my husband about some strange things that I started to notice around our apartment during the day. During those times, he's usually not around. He would always be at work. One one of those times, the strange presence came visiting and my children happened to see it first.  As soon as they started pointing at a weird thing, I braced up in my spirit and continued what I was doing.  If you happen to live in one currently, kindly walk with me.  I was at the kitchen doing the dishes when I got goosebumps and instantly I started to chuckle.  From chuckling, I began to laugh.  I laugh so hard that I had to leave the dishes in the kitchen and go to the sitting room There, I sat and laughed, looking into space and through the eyes of the spirit, I confronted what was.  As soon as that episode was over, I didn't even understand all I jus...
