AT YOUR SERVICE


Hi dearest, so good to have you here, sure you've been good. Enjoy this piece.........                                 
 It’s a beautiful morning, the birds are chirping, you can feel the sun rays through the window, this is one of the mornings that you do not want to leave your bed; not like you want some more sleep you just want to lounge. Suddenly, you hear a knock on your door, “Yes, come inn”. It’s a gentle man in a white shirt and a black suit. Eyes opened wide “What are you doing here and how may I help you”?. Well I am Laurence and I’m here to serve you; whatever you want will get to you sooner than you think. What! I can hear you exclaim, I can’t believe this, I fantasize this a lot. You smile to yourself. O.K Laurence, I want my breakfast in bed, I want my water for bathing to be slightly warm, I want my room to be clean, I want this I want that. You just can’t believe this is actually happening to you. Sooner than you think all these things are done, courtesy Laurence. The amazing thing is that he does it with so much joy and with speed too. My! Can I have this beautiful experience every day? I wish! Sooner than I think Laurence will be gone and I’ll have to go back to my normal way of living. You hear yourself soliloquize. Hmm,dearest, do you know you have “Laurence” at your service every time, he’s always with you but you never ask him to do anything for you. Listen, when I say Laurence, not Laurence Laurence you know, I simply mean angels. Angels are at your service, you can ask them to do anything for you and I mean anything but do you really engage them? For me, I have started engaging them and it's been such a beautiful experience. You are not supposed to beg them, you are to command and instruct them to do what you want. I attended a programme and  I was famished, when the programme ended I knew that most people were going to head towards the cafeteria, with the population in the cafeteria I wouldn't have been able to get food with ease, so my option was to sleep hungry. I sure did not want to sleep hungry then I just asked my angel to get there and speed up the process. You won’t believe this, the speed at which I got my food from the cafeteria was not usual, courtesy, my angel. Understand that they are waiting for you to put them to work remember, they are always at your service, so why suffer when you have an innumerable number waiting to serve you.
Loads of Love,

SMALL, YET MIGHTY!


Hi dearest, I’m so glad to have you here; I really hope you’ve been doing great. Happy new year to you, I’m  so excited we both made it to this grande year 2013. Relax and enjoy, this experience of mine…….
Sometime ago, I read something short but beautiful and it hasn’t left me since then; it goes thus,” You think you are too small to make impact? Try sleeping in a room with a mosquito”. It was funny but I remembered some nights I just couldn’t sleep well, no thanks to a mosquito, now take note of that a mosquito. Hmmmm, it kept singing in my ears and every attempt to kill it proved abortive.
Just a while ago, I was preparing for one of my speaking engagements, when I felt a very piercing and excruciating pain. O my! What could that have been? I started searching for whatever it was that dealt with me in such manner. I just couldn’t wait to find out what made me feel so much pain. Now, could you just do me a favour by guessing what  I saw.
Oh yes! You are sooooo right, I saw an ant, You sure had a clue from the image. “Smiles”  To be specific, a  small black ant.What! Was this what gave me so much pain? I killed it with so much strength and anger. Mission accomplished! Do you believe that I could still feel the pain hours, after the initial attack? I think you should believe me cause you  should have had your own share from this small but mighty ant one time or another.
Hmmm, this was a very painful but beautiful experience; it just made me understand the more that you my dearest friend, are not too small to make lasting impact in another’s life, your immediate environment and even in the world at large. If an ant could make that impact though negative on my skin, then how much more you? Start making that impact NOW, but make sure it’s positive. Don’t worry about my skin, it doesn’t hurt again, but trust me I wouldn’t forget the pain that kept me up for a while. “Wink wink”.
Loads of Love,
Smiling D.
