African King and Queen

So Imperfect, but, Perfectly in Love

From the time a woman is pregnant till she conceives a golden child, there is a heavenly transformation of her mind, body, and soul- a period I love to call,"God at work". The concept of pregnancy is incomparably delicate, precise and well articulated. Honestly, it's best magic trick nature has to offer to humanity. It's filled with many emotions of joy, pain, love, blended with God's blessings and euphoria.

My mother, has had three of these Godly experiences. That means that she's seen God's presence in her life that many times. I'm not surprised that she's an angel. Choosing to endure this three times in a lifetime puts her on a pedestal of elegance and profound accomplishment not measured only by mankind, but signified as a blessing and mercy from God.

Mama, It's your birthday today, happy birthday ooooo.You are such an amazing person that if I wasn't your son, I'd have done everything possible to be nurtured by your love, patience and dedication. Honest to God, you are an amazing woman. You've thought me great lessons in life, for this day, I'm humbled and blessed to be your son.


I can talk about you for days. But simply put, I love you. Before I sign out for the day, at the age of six, on a summer morning in Ghana, I was in Class One then, and I forgot to tell the night before that I had to take some sticks for Math, you woke up early with me, we walked to the Presy school in Betom, it had rained the night before, so the the frogs and tadpoles were singing to welcome the day, and we walked carefully by the ditches and got some sticks from a nearby tree. Such dedication, going above and beyond always. I love you. 

Happy Birthday,
Love you,
Dennis

August 22, 2013 was the happiest day of my life. I made the best decision in life when I married my wonderful husband.  My life has been so wonderful. I sometimes feel like I am in a fairytale... He makes me feel special every minute literally!!!It feels great to be kissed everyday, loved everyday, appreciated everyday, and pampered everyday.  God truly sent me an angel!  I thank God everyday for bringing him into my life.  As we celebrate our six month anniversary, I thank God for bringing us this far. I know some of you are saying "but it's only six months" yes I know but I just want to say its been a wonderful journey by far. I pray for God's blessings on our marriage. We have many more days, months and years to come of wonderful loving. I have my soulmate and nothing or no one can stop me from loving him!!!

I will forever love you till death do us part.

Love always
Lilian

Thinking back, it's been six months already? Six solid months of man-and-wife. Yes!
Same time six months ago, we shared vows juiced spiritually in Christian doctrines and mixed with the cultivated perceptions and profound expectations of our hearts and minds. So long we waited for this one special day to come, and finally, and majestically God graced us. Come to think about it, it certainly feels like yesterday; this evening as we cheerfully glanced through a few pictures from our wedding, we were surprised at all the people we missed to recollect were there; not good to forget that someone came to your wedding,  but the vibrant emotions flooded our inbuilt facial recognition system. We guess that's a good excuse........forgive us. 


For the first time in our lives we did what we had dreamed of for years, and imagined the euphoria associated with the concept of matrimony. Here we were, in the midst of our lovely friends and loved ones, living our dream. The music, the joy, the bonds, the fashion, the happiness others showed on their faces through their warm hearts, and gifts of their presence are memories to live and cherish eternally. 

It's been 6 months of marriage, and we can't stop talking about our future anniversary. Sounds silly that there are other things to talk about like children, a new home, the business and responsibilities that will come with it, but look at us, sitting here after a 16 hour day, on the edge of our couch enjoying John Legend's new CD, and all we can't think about is us, and us, and us. Its beautiful to be young, and blessed with the joys of family and infinite friendships. Being humble is not an act but our ultimate responsibility of selflessness. 

As we explore our imperfections, and imagine what this wine umph's us to blog about, we motivate ourselves as we sprint towards our last semester of graduate school. It's been a long and challenging journey working full-time and schooling full-time, but God's fuel of grace, mercy, and dedication has seen us through, and for that we are open to that divine favor. 

Six months from now, it would be a year in marriage, 3 months from now, it would be 4 years of being together, and the memories and numbers in anniversary will live on as we from in love and grace. Certainly a couple of forevers. 

Love

Valentines Day!!!! A set day to Love, we can dig it. Can you dig it? Dig it. It's easy to get caught up in hectic and demanding work schedules, so for this special day, show some well deserved love to your loved ones, family and friends. 

It's okay to be single. Love comes in do many forms. Define love and embrace the positivity that comes with it. Let's see, what did we do when we were single? Hmmmm! Prayed and hoped we get to celebrate it in future. And here we are. 

Today is not a members only day, it's a day for everyone to embrace love and all the good things that come with it. To us it's a slow down caution to acknowledge each other more and more in the midst of working full time and pursuing further education full time. 

At a least day a month, spend some quality time with the one you love and have a love talk. Make her/him feel special. It's human to love, don't miss out on any opportunity to love. 

So many a time, in the midst of chaos is when we show the most love to one another; don't be the one to wish he/she could have loved. Therefore, most importantly, our message to you today is  " love everyday, not just Valentines day". 

Happy Valentines 
Love always, 
Lilian&Dennis

Exactly 2 years ago, I took that knee and proposed to you, it was a significant milestone in my life, and now a vibrant memory that we both share. It was a great day. Oh man, it was joyous and splendorous. 

Lilian, I've loved you always and I forever will.  I remember how excitedly nervous and anxious I was, but when you walked in, I felt that calmness, that peacefulness, and a fulfillment of joy and happiness. I said wow! She look so beautiful. I then believed that this is happening. My dream has come true.

The beautiful white dress, the well laced white veil, your black, shinny and  silky hair: hmm! and as I got closer, you smelled like heaven. In the presence of our families, I made that vow to love you always, to take you as you are, to be patient, caring and kind to you. And that's how it would always be. 

You are an amazing woman. God's blessing and I will always Cherrish an Love you. 

Happy Anniversary,
Love Always,
Your Husband,
Dennis

Anyone can get the affection they want, and not the love they need. Let's break that down, you can get affection from friends,family and collegues, but when you are loved, nothing comes to close the warm satisfaction you get. It shows in the way you think, talk, smile, walk and carry yourself. Others benefit from the love you've received. Because the euphoria from being loved has no half life.

Be precise and definitive to desperate affection from love. Loving is sacrificing. Love is when a father toils in a farm daily so his son can have an education. Loving is when a mother takes odd jobs so her children can have food to eat. Love is giving all you got to someone, to benefit them and not yourself. 

That's a lot in one paragraph. You might need to let that marinate for a while, and make sure to dissect it to your needs. 

Thank you for reading.

Love Always,
Lilian&Dennis

Like all people, we all want to work traditionally and make enough money to survive. However, the toil of making some money, owe some school loans, pay as you age- all in stress and nature taking a toll on you, not to mention, the other costs and bills you inherit as you create your own nuclear families.  In todays world, that thought process gradually becomes pulseless.

The world continues to impatiently evolve at an alarming and confident rate; therefore, precious time wasted cannot be painfully recovered. We live in era where the no choice but to be successful. Be successful at all cost, but genuinely, and with gratitude to all the sacrifices you've made, or have been made for you. Obviously the definition of success is independent of ones conciousness, however, if you have to live the rest of your life owing every financial institution, tell you what, that's not life lived.

At all cost be creative. Spend time each to daydream and brainstorm. We are we continue to at all times, and so should you.

In your quest for a suitable quality of life garnished in well earn and comfortable financial and emotional successfulness, it is of upmost importance to become a multidimensional thinker. With each second of time, the world changes, the world changes by virtue of technology, science, and the way we think as a human race based on our culture; obviously religion plays a role, but that will be on a different post.

Related post: Outliers 

The perception you have of the world today determines your chance(s) of becoming success. If you've always considered and welcomed the traditional route and being a slave to Sallie Mae, and the reaping some grounding, and paying back the loans with your hard earned blood, sweat and tears, then more grace to your elbows. But, if you choose to be an outlier- as per Malcom Gladwell, you have nothing to lose, because you endeavor to take the optimist route of success as your only option.

Thank you for reading.....

Love Always,

Who you are, where you've come from, how far you've come, and the morals and cultural doctrines etched in you, are entities of your personality that cannot be disputed. You are who you are. You are human, you are built to survive and suceed. The honest truth is that, you had no choice as to what culture you will be born into,or what race or ethnicity you would be bred from; for this reason, stand firm, and welcome your cultural identity. It's a trait that you share, be proud of who you are, be confident and courageous that you succeed in everything you put your heart and mind to.

No matter how generous or ungenerous melanin has graced your skin, you will meet people who will not share the same perspectives as you; and such is life. You will come across people who have had bad experiences with people of your ethnicity, however, do not be perturbed if you exemplify positive accolades. You have nothing to prove to anyone but to yourself. The goals you set, and the achievements you receive. No one will succeed for you, you create your own success. So build your confidence and self esteem solidly.  Believe that there will be so many other people who will embrace you for who you are.

The key here is become confident in who you are, be proud to be alive, your past hurdles do not cloud the success of your future. You will face challenges with age, and with life encounters, but trust that you will succeed. Believe it, and live it. Set reasonable goals, and accomplish them with determination and dedication.  Love yourself, embrace your identity.

Thank you for reading ........

Love Always,
Lilian and Dennis
