I Lived!

April 14, 2021 Sandra C. Obiora Leave a comment

I lived. I lived. I lived.

I know that eight billion others exist alongside me.

I know that others have come and gone before me.

I know it has all been said before in different ways and phrases.

I know that in the picture of space and time we are smaller than a spec.

Yet this is the beauty of our humanity.

That we can cycle through life enjoying what has always been enjoyed.

Thus, I will not get lost in mundane thoughts.

I will not get stuck in mediocrity.

One and all eight billion will know!

I lived. I lived. I lived!

Tonight I looked up at a star as it sparkled so brightly.

I lifted up my hands in the freezing night and placed the twinkling Little Star between my thumb and index finger all set to squash it. Continue reading To Squash A Star →

Just a Little More

November 4, 2020 Sandra C. Obiora Leave a comment

“Sometimes, all it takes is a little more strength, a little more courage, a little more interest, a little more determination. Not a lot more, just a tiny bit more than you had before to make it through, and suffer no regrets.”

Life in Details

January 22, 2020 Sandra C. Obiora Leave a comment

“The essence of life is found in the details.

It is not always written in the expanse of outlandish displays of joy, affection, peace…

It is often there lurking in-between milliseconds. Life is often there offering itself to you in the minute details of each minute.”

Birthing Emeralds

December 25, 2019 Sandra C. Obiora Leave a comment

An Apoetsbrain Original ©

One great man was mocked because of his lifelong agenda and effort to bring about peace in his community.

This man worked, strived, suffered and later died for peace.

He will be seen as a peace maker, the reconciler, the forgiver of many many wrongs.

He welcomed the concept of generosity, and begged that each man care for his neighbor. Continue reading Birthing Emeralds →

That Upward Spiral

February 19, 2019 Sandra C. Obiora Leave a comment

“See: it’s a never-ending upward spiral. And if you think at any point you’re allowed to stop climbing, I’m afraid you’re missing the point. Because the joy is in the climb itself.”

Life Tips from Sandy, Quote of the day, Quotes by Apoetsbrain, Thoughts, Write Ups

Silly Ant

November 8, 2018 Sandra C. Obiora 2 Comments

“The one whose life is centered only around gathering riches and indulging all worldly pleasures is like an ant inside someone’s house who worked all through the day to gather sugar, and ant meat, and when evening came, the home owner swept everything off both ant and ant meat alike. A destruction with no discrimination.”

Grand Hands

November 1, 2018 Sandra C. Obiora Leave a comment

“There comes a time when you realize that your life is no longer in any man’s hands. Not in your parents, or your siblings, or friends, not in yours, but in the hand of God who does as He wills. And then you stop fighting and kicking against the pricks. To gain that smoother Iife of peace, in surrender. Then all you can say is:

“Not my will Lord, but yours be done.”

Be Thankful

October 8, 2018 Sandra C. Obiora 5 Comments

Be thankful for what you have.

You have got all the things that you want.

Others do not have half of what you have.

Yet, you still want to go in for what they’ve got.

Be careful never to covet what your friends have.
