I love animals.  Wait a minute, by "animals" I mean that I love domestic animals and definitely not the wild ones.  Meanwhile, I heard cats are adorable and some people just can't stop gushing about them. That's cool but I will pass. It is nothing personal and you can blame  all the scary movies for my skepticism.   Puppies on the other hand are so cute, observant, cuddly, smart, clingy and can be your best friend, baby, confidant or whatever you want.

Strange world indeed.  Tim's story left me speechless. He said I can share, so I have copied and pasted it for you to read ... 

Eliminating the multi-billionaire was her optimum plan. Paula had forgiven him for not loving her back, for not being by her death bed. Paula was an angel unlike Tesa who had sworn to avenge her death. The world needed to be rid of Demons like Melvin. He had seduced, married and deserted Paula for the arms of floozies he brought back home to mock her. Paula's heart was broken, for that reason his would be an agonizing death. Their first meeting was no coincidence and as expected, he had fallen for her sagacity, the deal her company had to offer and her regal beauty. Their third date was on his expensive yacht, his trust had deepened, he was eager to please and had dismissed his bodyguards for the first time in months. Her plan for the night was in motion and her stylist was the best money could afford.  Tesa smiled at her reflection in the mirror. She looked ravishing in a glamorous strapless dinner gown that left nothing to the imagination. Her hair was packed up to r

It was a stressful day and cooking dinner was out of the question. All I craved for was a comforting dish of thoroughly spiced Marinated local chicken with a refreshing bottle of my best beverage. A look at my wrist watch reminded me that the perfect garden for my chicken waka would be crowded at that time. Ditching my bags, I rushed out again.

Stop being scared to make a mistake. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. 8. Stop berating yourself for old mistakes. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.

I could not control my emotions the moment I left her bedside. We all knew he was not right for her and made sure she knew how we felt but Paula was either too in love or downright naive.  Since ignorance is not an excuse and my desire to save you from being stuck in or consenting to be in a toxic relationship is undaunted,   I am going to share with you the warning signs of a bad relationship that can’t be ignored. It’s not easy to accept that your relationship might not be good for you – but the sooner you face reality, the sooner you can move forward.   In a good relationship, you feel sure of your partner without having to ask for reassurance.
