SHORT OF A TITLE!

Hey guys!!! Someone's excited💃💃💃 That person is me😁😁  What's been popping? Like I always say, or sing, " I'm only one call away or one click away". I look forward to reading from you. I love every piece of this blog, perhaps cause of my love for food. I trust you have a great time reading this as much as I did writing😀😀 Happy Reading.........
So, some of you know, my bigger sis is very great at cooking. She makes really delicious meals, snacks and real good smoothies. I forgot to mention that sometimes she makes up her own recipe and it comes out really delish!😋😋😋
So one day, bigger sis, said to me, " D, I am making pizza for us and would make it from the scratch" Immediately,  I started to laugh so hard and said to her  that I think it was a better idea to  just order for Pizza @ Dominos. In few minutes, we would have it delivered right to our door step.  No stress at all, everyone is fine and we would have had a nice meal. Contrary to my suggestion, Bigger sis insisted that she would do home made pizza.
Before I could say, " Jack Robinson" Bigger sis had made very good progress with the preparation of the pizza. In less than two hours the pizza was ready. Once she was done, she said,  "D, the pizza is ready, come have a taste". I was not quite sure how the pizza would taste; so I had a small piece. The small piece I had was heavenly😋😋😋. As I write to you, I am salivating, remembering that beautiful afternoon when I tasted the home made  pizza made by my sis.
I kept going for more and had to apologise for thinking she could not make pizza as great as Dominos or even better. Guys, this pizza tasted great! I always love to take pictures of food, places, and myself so this pizza was not going to be an exception. Before I had a small piece to taste, I decided to take a picture of it, and that is what you have up there.
Whilst thinking of what to share with you; I remembered this story, and thought to let you know that you are able to do things that you haven't even done before. My bigger sis had not made home made pizza prior to that time and guess what? It was the most delish pizza I had ever tasted. No kidding.
Yes there could be a lot of discouragers around you telling you how they think you can not do what you want to do. They could even give very valid reasons on why another option is better? I was the discourager this time around😕😕😕. But you know what? Do not listen to them. My bigger sis loves me a lot but guess what? She refused to listen to what I said and went ahead to do what was on her mind. When she was done; I enjoyed it and had more portions than the person who made the pizza😆😆😆.
One thing I also learnt from this personal experience is do not be the person who would put people's dreams down with what you say or do. If you do not have something great to say, then it would be great to stay quiet.
Do not be the person who is always negative and discourages when another party wants to try out new things..
Alrighty guys! That is my word for you! Till my next piece! Have a great time!
PS: All the yummies you can see in the image were made by my bigger sis. She is really great at putting a smile on your face when eating,, cause the food always tastes great😋😋😋

Loads of Love,

THE NAME GAME

Hey my awesome people!!👊👊 Happy new month to you. Trust you have been very well. I have been very well myself; extremely busy but very well. Do well to send me an email on astarsdelight@yahoo.com or slide into my dm on @astarsdelight to let me know how you have been.  Don't be a stranger this month😉😉 I look forward to reading from you. Alrighty! Let’s dive into what I’ve got for you

When you hear the name Smiling D, what comes to mind? I would give you some time to think it through and if you want; let me know what comes to mind.  #singing I am only one call away……………..

So, not too long ago I decided to do a name game that I probably made up myself. I decided to attach a word to the names of people I had come across. The word per name was to be timed; and the timing was less than 40 seconds. You want to give the name game a try? You should give it a try. List 5 or 10 names and in less than 40 seconds attach a word to the name. One major rule to this game is you can’t change the first word that comes to mind.

You done? Did you have fun playing this game?

I had so much fun playing this game.  Before I was done with the various names of people I had met; it dawned on me on how important it is for me to guard my name.

Guess what? There were some not so nice adjectives that came to my mind once I mentioned the names of some people. Remember the time limit to this game is less than 40 seconds so I couldn’t vet what word came to my mind once I mentioned the name. Did I mention; I was playing this game in my mind whilst on a journey? Oh yes; I was! It made the journey fun for me since I had no company

My word for you today is this. Decide that when your name flashes through the mind of anyone and they have only 30 seconds or perhaps less to give a word to accompany your name; it would be a very  good word.

Remember a   good name is rather to be chosen than riches.

As you start the new month decide that this month and beyond when your name flashes the mind of anyone and they need to attach a word to your name; it would be great words.

These are some of the people in my life, and once there names flashed my mind, these are the words I came up with.

Smiling D: Lover

Tolu: No Nonsense

Temi: Giver

LaMo: Realist

Yinsco: Carer

Dayo: Encourager:

Joel: Destinyhelper

Chiluv: Realist

Fortune: Encourager

DeoluOre: Funny

Shols:Godlover

I am unable to exhaust all the names I’ve got. But really, let your name always ring a good bell in the ears of people

Till my next blog, have a great time!!!

Loads of Love,

Smiling D

NATURE SPEAKS!!

Hey my awesome people!!! Happy new year to you and yes happy new month as well😊😊 My apologies for being away since Christmas. I got my inspiration for this post exactly on December 31^st.  My schedule has been super tight, and I barely have had time to  pamper myself. This is my reason for just putting this up.  Trust my apologies have been accepted. I feel it has been👍👍

Okay now,enough of me!  Trust you have been very well, and you have been having a great year so far. I am only a click away @ astarsdelight@yahoo.com if you want to tell me what you have been up to.

I hope that as you read through; you would be as excited and inspired as I was on the 31^stof December. I am still super excited about this blog Happy Reading……

So as you know, or perhaps just getting to know; I am that lady who loves nature a lot😀😀. The image on this post lets you know that going to places that give me the chance to savor the beauty of nature some more gives me so much joy. Things like just watching the sun rise, or set, hearing birds chirp, seeing the star twinkle, or the waves rise and fall gives me such a great indescribable feeling.  So yes! I am a girl who just loves nature.

So on the 31^st of December 2017, I was taking a walk and then I saw about three trees. I was so fascinated by the beautiful flowers on the trees. Some of the flowers were red, some pink and the last one had a color that I can’t quite name.

Just whilst admiring the beauty right by me; it dawned on me that if flowers could be this beautiful, then God is able to make my life so beautiful. As soon as I was inspired by that I decided I was going to both blog and do a podcast on it. I realized yet again that if God can make flowers so beautiful and a sight you just want to keep admiring then be assured that God is able to make your life very beautiful!

That’s my word for you this month. Anytime you see the beautiful flowers blooming, this should give you a guarantee that God has the capacity to make  your life  beautiful. 

Times when you see the sun rising in grande style and shinning; it yet should give you joy, cause you have the potential to shine.  Alrighty; I hope you have been inspired by this post as much as I have been. Till my next blog, have a great February!  Don’t be a stranger follow us on IG @ astarsdelight. I look forward to reading from you.

Loads of Love,

Smiling D.
