In response to The Daily Post Express Yourself
Do you love to dance, sing, write, sculpt, paint, or debate? What’s your favorite way to express yourself, creatively
Oh! I love to dance! Dancing can make a bad day seem good. You can’t dance and be angry. The two things don’t go together. Sometimes, I visualize myself as a background dancer to some nice music, but I guess that’s where the dream ends, except a team of us come together to form a band in our later years. You never know these things 😉
Oh! I love to sing and shake to the music while at it. All done in a loud voice too. I doubt if I will be winning talent shows or occupying the Top 10 hits anytime soon, but seeing the fond smiles on my families face as I goof off is definitely worth a Grammy. I can lead a very rousing Praise and Worship you know! That must count for something.
Oh! I dabble in drawing and painting too. I am no Vincent van Gogh but I do paint pretty flowers now and again and I doodle nonsense too 😄. I however, think my youngest brother ‘Ifesinachi Adrian’ is a fantastic artist! A few of his artwork are displayed below.

I was quite the mouth piece for my school in my Secondary/High school days. I represented the school in so many debates and was always a lead speaker. I haven’t done such exercise in recent times, just debating with my husband and children which is quite exerting, I must tell you.
Oh! I have a sister who sculpts as well. I enjoy watching her work, mess

around with her stuff and I get to be her art critic too. I must assure you that it’s not an easy job to be a critic.
Now, when we talk about writing, that is an entirely different kettle of fish. Writing is MY ABSOLUTELY favorite way of expressing myself. I write to think. I write to speak. I just write to live. If you took away writing from me, I really don’t want to imagine what I would do. Maybe scribble in the sand!
I don’t have to be an expert to enjoy doing those things that I love. Those things that make me laugh heartily. Those thing’s that tickles my soul in a positive way.

Thank you Edwina. I hope you did get some rest over the weekend? I try to do one thing or the other, but sometimes, there is never enough time to chase after so many things.

Oh oh 😦 It might be the weather change. All my kids are sniffling and sneezing every minute. Do take things easy and lots of warm soup helps too. Regards

Not at all. As a matter of fact, some best moments in experiencing something are derived from total lack of know-how and an open mind 🙂

Happened to post against the same prompt. “I don’t have to be an expert to enjoy doing those things that I love.” But I think you are an expert at storytelling!

Thank you Ma’am. Pouring ones thoughts on the paper is an experience that I fall short of words to express. We are encouraging the young man and he is currently undertaking a Bachelors program in pursuit of his passion in Arts.
