Day 01
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you of how awesome you are. On some days, you know this but on most days, you don’t.
Sometimes, you spend too much time dwelling on the things that you cannot change that you lose sight of the many things you have changed and are changing.
You might not be where you should be at the moment. Naahh, scratch that, you are exactly where you should be.
Dazzle, it’s okay to want more but it’s important that you take breaks. Dwell in your wins, shout till the world hears. Stop toning it down, dear. Flaunt it!
Remember how God promised to help you at every twist and turn this year? Now, look back! See how all rumpled areas are straightened.
Dazzle, you need to jazz up! You deserve all the joy there is.
I Love You!
Day 02
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you that God is real.
Your knowledge of God is deeper and closer than it used to be.
In previous years, you had only heard of God but never really dwelt in the knowledge of him. Can you imagine? Imagine the many mistakes you wouldn’t have made if you stayed with God.
However, these many “experiences” are what makes you Dazzle.
Remember the day you were tired of hearing the voices in your head and a few weeks to your 24th birthday, you thought it was best to end it and make it all stop? Mumu you! 😂😂
Now, you know better! You know that God will deliver into your hands the right capacities.
Now, you know that if God is asking for it then he definitely gave it you. You just need to search.
God is interested in the seemingly little things about you. Like whether or not to get angry with a boy that you like. Like giving you a new phone barely three days after one was stolen from you. Like what clothes to wear. And that wardrobe overhaul? He’s gonna do it too.
Oluwadamilola, I know the journey this year was quite intense. I don’t know what the next year holds but I do know who holds and owns the future. And He’s got you.
Cheers baby!
I Love You!
Day 03
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you of the pivotal need to trust God, blindly.
Your sight is limited and should not be trusted. This is why the Bible clearly states that believers are to walk by faith and not by sight.
This new year, you have to jack up your faith. You have to do it, regardless.
You have to trust God because he’s got you.
Many times, it may not look like the logical thing to do. But you’re a spirit man and yielding to the nuances of the spirit topples all kinds of logic.
Dazzle, some days may not be smooth. Rest assured, things don’t happen to you; they happen for you.
In this new year, you obey God, COMPLETELY. Without holding back.
I Love You!
Day 04
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you of how gorgeous you are.
A perfect piece of God’s beauty in human form. You are beautiful!
I’m not sure (maybe, I am) that you say this to yourself enough but damn! Babe, YOU. ARE. FINE.
It’s evident in the perfect skin layered on a wonderful structure. It’s in the eyes that communicate beautifully without words.
This beauty seats unscathed in your eccentricity.
And soon, just soon, someone’s gonna come along to the sing the song of your beauty in the right notes.
Dazzle, I’ll tell you this again, YOU. ARE. BEAUTIFUL.
I Love You so much!
Day 05
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you of the gift of association.
I want to remind you of everyone God has placed in your path on this journey of life.
It’s a rare privilege to have actual friends and people steady rooting for you. This is one big blessing that cannot be denied.
You have friends who do all they can to support you and that is amazing.
In a world where people feel alone and lonely, it’s humbling to have people you can call, “circle of friends”.
In this new year, it is only expedient that you make more friends. The more, the merrier, yeah?
I can’t wait to meet the amazing people God is bringing your way this new year.
I Love You!
Day 06
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you of what God is doing with you as a Spoken Word Poet.
I want to remind you of the many lives that have come to light through your light.
Even on days when in your book, you aren’t doing enough. There’s a God on the stage amplifying your efforts. You. Are. Helped. Of. God.
In this new year, I’ll like that you stay in this reality. I’ll like that you remember that God owns the stage and you are the vessel.
In this new year, you will do more to the glory of God.
Your ears hear!
Your hands write!
Your eyes see!
Your mouth speaks!
Your thought pattern reflects the intent of the Father!
I Love You!
Day 07
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you of how beautiful your mind is.
Your mind is a city of its own. Unconventional! Unique!
I think you should consider this a gift. Your thought patterns are different in a good way.
In this new year, I’ll like that you explore your mind more. Do not just think or dream, we’ll like to see that you bring to life the utopia that your mind creates.
Think it! Do it! Put it out!
I cannot wait to see the things that you’ll birth from your mind.
I Love You!
Day 08
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you of how strong and resilient you are.
I have seen you push through walls unimaginable.
I have seen you refute hard stereotypes.
I have seen you refuse to be caged and boxed.
This is a unique attribute that I hope to see you hone.
In this new year, I need you to fight harder.
I need you to stay true to your journey.
I need you to push through walls and conquer.
I need you to stay resilient and strong.
I cannot wait to see the many challenges you’ll ride and get over with.
I Love You!
Day 09
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you of how focused you are. You are one astute individual.
In a world where people fall for anything; you are one to choose a path and follow-through, regardless of the obstacles.
In this new year, I hope you stay focused. Your gaze may waver but do well to find the point and reason for starting in the first place.
Stay focused, baby!
I Love You!
Day 10
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you that I am proud of you and I consider it a privilege to be a part of you.
I really cannot fathom how you keep your head high in the midst of turmoil.
In this new year, I hope that you stay proud of everything you have gone through and mostly, what you have become.
I can’t wait to see the many things you’ll do.
I Love You!
Day 11
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you that you are an exceptional Coach. I see how you take on the pain of others and dutifully walk them through the path of healing.
I see how bad you feel when they refuse help.
In this new year, I need you to stay in touch with this reality.
I need you to know that some people will refuse help and that’s okay.
The ones who want it should meet a Coach bold enough to help them find clarity.
I hope this isn’t too much to take in but Dazzle, do more.
I Love You!
Day 12
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you how much of a beautiful writer you are. I love to read the things that you write.
I love the way you weave words and call forth words from inside of you.
In this new year, I hope to see you write more.
And that project? You MUST finish it.
I Love You!
Day 13
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you of how significant you are.
Dazzle, this is not subject to human validation. You. Are. Significant.
Your purpose is as valid as day and night. You. Are. Significant.
In this new year, you live in this reality.
You are not intimidated.
You do not deny your significance.
The world cannot wait to receive you. And I’ll be here with you, ALWAYS!
I Love You!
Day 14
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you that you can always come home to me.
On days you are confused and feel out of place, please come home.
In this new year, I hope that you come home more. I hope that on days when you hit a wall, you don’t run from you.
I do not want you only when you are good, I want ALL of you. And that includes days when things don’t seem good.
Here’s home, baby. Come home more
I Love You!
Day 15
Dear Dazzle,
Today, I want to remind you of how much you have changed.
This year, I saw you pray more.
I saw you study more.
Your confidence has doubled.
You seldom doubt the efficacy of your craft (I need you to stop this completely).
You are no longer afraid to look in the mirror.
I see how you randomly look at yourself and say, “Dayuum! God dey create” 😂😂
Dazzle, do you see how vulnerable you have become with friends? Who would have thought it never hurts.
I’m so happy to see how far you have come.
In this new year, I need you to embrace growth more. Sometimes, I no too dey understand the kain box wey you dey put yourself.
Embrace growth, baby! And you’ll be better for it.
I Love You with every fibre of my being.
Day 16
Dear Dazzle,
There are so many things that I want to say and even though words do not fail me. I doubt that I will do justice as I would want.
This past year has to be the most intense year yet. I found myself reaching for things inside of me; things that I never thought existed.
More than ever, I am convinced of God’s mighty hands upon my life. There are so many things I cannot fathom.
Like how I have unexplainable peace.
Like how God blesses the seemingly little things that I do.
In this new year, I am open to all that God is willing to do. Yes, I have plans but they are subject to the will of Abba.
If I cross your mind today and you earnestly crave to do something for me, just pray for me.
Happy 25th, Dazzle!
