FIRST TIMES

”The thing about first times”

First times are scary, crazy and unbelievably intense…. it is trial in error, testing the waters, the very idea of moving away from your comfort zone, away from what your body knows and have lived with.

Haven written posts over the years, Contents carefully drafted for when my blog is upgraded and officially launched, I decided to make hay while the sun shines, to get into my prom dress, wear some makeup and post regardless of what the day presents itself….

Have I waited for too long? … yes

Is this a right time? No, there is no right time… there is just here and now

The truth is… I think more of the danger of not getting into my prom party than wearing a made up dress, to look back to this day and have regrets of not enjoying the ride as a writer… what greater mistake than the regret of not living fully. My general experiences as an individual has improved, I very much want to tell you about what this blog will be bringing to your table but I will rather write, tell my story, teach, design and inspire…..

This blog will embody my journey as its own, bring to life my dreams and aspirations, calm my fears, give courage to my pen, sound to my voice and light for when darkness sprout on my path

Here is…

To first times, to taking the much needed steps, to writing, publishing, blogging and inspiring

Stick with me, Let this beginning lead us to other beautiful beginnings.

My name is Marriet Ify and i’m glad to have you here

…

I’ve thought of sharing my personal experience with books, its influence and how i have become better just reading them 24/7. this is an all round improvement, the knowledge gain, the new experiences shared by some high fliers in life, the constant change in momentum and by that… i mean an increase in my drive in life, getting to know new words, increasing my personal English vocabulary… career improvement, relationship management, living, health, feeding, sexual relationships, all of which have found better explained and understood in good books from experienced coaches.

“Reading is a rare form of home schooling in Africa, especially Nigeria where the internet is at the forefront of every other thing”. It is sad to note, some have considered it a form of punishment, feels like too much work… the educational institutions have taken out the fun part of the reading experience and replaced it as a must do or die thing….

Reading is nourishing and should be imbibed by all, i know the internet has made it easier with information acquisition but owning personal hard copy books is as important as having an eBook in your phone.

These books will stay longer than your phone duration will allow the eBook to, for at a certain age in a man’s life, reading hard copy books is more relaxing than any other.

meanwhile, if you don’t have a personal library yet, i hope you do, we can grow the number of books together… let’s sow the seed now and be sure to reap the rewards later by passing down the reading culture to the younger generation.

Good morning and welcome to the first segment of “WHAT’S IN A BOOK?”. I’ll be your host.
