Introduction Hiya! Welcome to my blog- praisedwhisgrater.blogspot.com As the name of the blog depicts, its a diary- an e-diary, if you will and so i write in it quite frankly, safe in the knowledge that my privacy is secure so, feel free to read- this is only my way of diffusing my sometimes churning emotions that need an outlet. Your comments, where helpful and insightful, shall be very much appreciated. I came on blogger briefly under a pseudonym in 2008 but never did quite get into the "blogging spirit" and have been inactive, so, this is me not quite 'blogging' but 'journal-ling'. Hope it makes for an interesting read. Oh, and my name is Praised. Praised Whisgrater.
Interests I've got quite a lot of interests and they are all intrinsically inter- related: Law, Writing, Fashion and Photography, Interiors and Design, Wellness and Spirituality, anything aesthetic and arty and i'm strongly drawn to the human quest for a centered being- because I truly believe my life has been a journey of such a one- seeking my purpose. I'm quite awed to have a few, inspiring friends who really do seem to have clarified theirs- and at such an early age- but, then again, we've all been called to run our own very unique and different race. I do pray that the clarity I seek becomes uncovered in time- till I can clearly and assertively decipher this, i'm just a DivineDonna- on a journey to self with the sole intent of being a blessing and turning every experience life has handed me into a blessing to aid posterity.
Favorite Movies Hmmmmm... Not really a movie buff but- Pretty Woman perhaps? Pride and Prejudice too. Fireproof my Marriage. Not too keen on movies. Tv maybe.
Favorite Music Yanni. More Yanni. Chris Oyakhilom's Moments of Worship, Sinach and Frank Edwards. Kenny G. More Yanni, lol.
Favorite Books I live for books but, i can't categorically state all of my favorites because that'd be quite a diverse lot...... I love quite alot of wordsworth classics- Mayor of Casterbridge, Heart of darkness- Joseph Conrad- lots of Shakespeare, Michelle Mckinney Hammond, Wuthering Heights, Trading up by Candace Bushnell, Everything good will come- Seffi Atta, I love Chimamanda Adichie's Purple Hibiscus & Half of a yellow sun, A heart to mend- Myne Whitman, Oliver Twist- David Copperfield-Around the world in 80 days-Great Expectations ALL by Charles Dickens, I love the African Child by Camara Laye and i absolutely love So long a letter- Mariama Ba- and have owned one copy for quite a number of years but still find it evergreen and fascinating- and manage to still turn every single page with each re-read, absolutely love James Allen- As a man thinketh- what a superb philosopher, Love Yellow- Yellow by Kaine Agary- a true depiction of the ijaws through and through. Love Madame Bovary- by Gustave Flaubert- it was a tragedy and the heroine poisoned herself with arsenic but, its a great classic!... The book that has however made the most impact in my journey through life has to undoubtedly be the bible as i have needed it more than any other for every experience life's handed me.

Can you relate to me?
