Yesterday had me going through my 2021 journal and I smiled, sighed, and gave thanks as I read through my entries for the year.
To say I am a product of grace is to say the least and I’m here to document and review my year with you guys.
But first, how are you and how was 2021 for you? Did you set goals? Were you able to achieve them? What were the key factors that helped you achieve them?
While you ruminate on that, let’s come back to me. As many of you, my returning readers, may know, I am big on goal setting and 2021 was no different, I had my goals written out with a mini vision board drawn up. What was different, however, was my implementation strategy.
Flexibility is one of the key words for me this year, I learnt to be more flexible in my implementation approach and I’ll explain more in a bit.
My 2021 comprised of exams, celebrating a lot of my friends (marriages and new babies), fully transitioning to product management and a new job, trying out new waters, submitting applications, serving more at Church, getting nominated for an award in Product Management and facilitating a paid training on product management (this was a hooge one for me?).
However, my biggest win this year was my journey in God. I grew, learned, was stretched and I’m still being stretched. Attending Praying Women Circle (PWC) Retreat in August was really transformational and my walk with God has gone on to another level. Learning to trust more, pray more, be more sensitive to God, and boy, do I have testimonies.
Of course, the year hit me with several gbas gbos, from health issues, to losing a dear friend (some days, it’s still difficult to believe), to some other things that didn’t happen as I hoped. Yet through it all, I’ve learned to know that God is good and remains faithful.
This year, I learned to take care of my plants better, and 2 of them survived. Yippeee? I also find myself introspecting more thank I share and some days my heart is full but I’m not able to share, I’m trusting that very soon, I’ll be able to share many of the thoughts God has laid on my heart. Till then, keep learning more about yourself and becoming the best version of you.

As we wind up the year and close the curtain for 2021, I don’t feel the hyped excitement and jim-jim that people usually feel about the new year; instead, I’m calm and assured of the major things that are going to happen in 2022.
Already, God has laid on my heart major areas to focus on for the year, and I’m just calm, excited and looking forward to the forthcoming multiple wins.
This post is already getting super long as it typically happens when I start to write but I really want to thank you for sticking with me through this year. For engaging with me via the different social media spaces and for allowing me to inspire you in the little way I can. Expect more inspiration in the new year and particularly watch out for what we are cooking through my brand, Mivida.
2022 is a year of divine speed, movement, and newness. I pray that you experience newness in all areas of your life.
There is so much more to write, but I don’t want to overwhelm you with too long a post. Thank you once again for reading this far.
To new beginnings and opportunities,
To walking on water,
To breaking boundaries and becoming the best version of you,
Cheers?
Love and Light Always,
Abba’s Favorite Daughter,
