About Felicia

I have always believed in the adage that the pen is mightier than the sword – the power that words can hold is underestimated by many; truly, much of miscommunication occurs because of the poor choices we make in the words we use to express our feelings.

And then there are men, most of whom, the world is convinced should be more verbally expressive, living alongside us women who rarely stop. Both habits can be disruptive but such is the way things are.

Indeed, I take pleasure in expressing the way I think and feel in words (be it on screen or on paper) because it offers me a perspective that is only second to talking to a best friend or listening to your mother.

But since you’re reading this to find about about the author :

If I Were To Describe Myself in 4 words:
I couldn’t. I would start of with ‘loud, long-winded, opinionated and passionate‘ but would not have stopped there  :) Since we’re being honest and everything, right?

I’m a regular individual but entirely unique. We may all dance to the beat of the same drum but we all do it in our own special way. I, however, cannot dance to save my life but love to do it anyway and I would like to believe trying earns you brownie points.

I have a voracious appetite for books and been reading for as long as I can remember and curling up with a good book holds more attraction for me than head banging in a foam party although I can be persuaded to do the latter with the right company

Quite obviously, blogging is a favourite past time and doing my blog rounds every morning with my coffee is now a daily routine. One day I would love to write for a living, alongside my teaching career, a trade I cannot believe I get paid to do daily.

I have an eclectic taste, love good music and stand up comedy; my idea of an ideal good time is to chill at a jazz bar, drink coffee and bask in the ambiance of good friends. I also love the originally themed ‘rainy Friday nights’ and shower concerts.

I am a card-carrying chocoholic; it gives me a rush that is second to none. I love shopping particularly for bags and footwear – the limitation commonly lies in not having enough funds..or financiers.

I am a drama queen from the top of my head to the tip of my (painted) toenails – We have a whole neighbourhood chapter too so its not as bad as you’d think

However let’s quit the superficial stuff and move on to matters of more significance..

Jesus Christ is the meaning of my life; God is my strength, my love, my all.

My family means everything to me; they are my rock in an ever changing tide.

I treasure my childhood friends and my saving graces; other good friendships I’ve forged along the way – friends who give you hugs when you need them and who would slap you to protect you from yourself – I owe so much to them.

What I believe:
I echo with St Paul in saying that “I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

And that’s a good place to start.
And to end.

Love, hugs and chocolate kisses,
Felicia
