It's the 20th.
Two entire weeks since my birthday. My first Anita Writes update for the month of June.
I don't know about you but inasmuch as I love birthdays, and trust me, I do, I just really wasn't feeling this one. There have been some in the past that I haven't "felt" but this one, I just didn't want it to happen. Wished I could postpone it. Don't you sometimes wish you could postpone your birthday? To a time when everything feels right - personally and professionally. But does that time ever really come? That time when you achieve that balance and nothing tips the scales, one in favor of the other.
Someone asked me to summarize the day and all I could think of was just - Love and Light. A lot of positive energy. And a lot of hugs. Hugs always help. Hugs are good. They're like an energy source from God. When you feel like your energy source is waning and you need someone, something to recharge your energy level, give it that boost, just then, I would bump into that one friend and he would give me that comforting, embracing and reassuring bear hug that says, "Do not despair, I'm here. Feel the love." His energy would quickly transfer onto mine and I would thus be energized enough to continue with the day.
Below are the best pictures of my solo adult birthday which was primarily spent at The InterContinental Hotel Lagos. I tried to find a place where single people could be celebrated (5 star treatment) and not denigrated or stared at for dining alone, sitting alone, or drinking alone on their birthday. And I chose the perfect place, from the picturesque views, to the international feel of the hotel to the classy ambiance. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and professional, not one of them stared at me or made me feel out of place. The hotel is totally deserving of its five star rating.
I dedicated that day to love and light and to finding that great source of energy that tells you, "Everything's Gonna be Alright."
To Another Year...
