HELLO Dear one, (A letter from Angel to Happyblacky) It’s been a year since I birthed this “Happyblacky blog”, wow! I remember last year by this time, I had shaky hands and doubts before publishing my first post. Today, I say I’m grateful that I did. And of course I am thankful for all the […]
“You don’t stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing” Michael Pritchard I have always been someone that questions my sanity. I have questioned it to the point where I came to a conclusion that I’ve gone bonkers (and that’s okay). That feeling came when I stopped trying so hard […]
“How can you hear your soul if everyone is talking” Mary Doria Russel One of the first things I have learned from living abroad, is to mind my own business. Whether as a neighbour, a passenger in a bus/train, in class, or where the clouds are the covering on our heads-MIND YOUR BUSINESS! Some days, […]
“Do not judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant” Robert Louis Stevenson. I know a place, where used to be a “farmhouse” many years ago before I was born. Though a lot has changed, the present owner understands very much how to yield from the soil he lives […]

“I am a little bird, waiting for its wings, waiting for its wings to fly back home. I got my wings today, and then I flew only to return to where I flew from, I found myself a Home where I thought I was lost”. (Happyblacky) I use to feel like an alien in the […]
A while ago, I had a run with an eleven year old, it wasn’t a long one but it felt good seeing a child do what I can and even better. The next day, a nine year old decided to join us, I thought a shorter distance so he could keep up. Then we started […]
It’s that time of the year again when hearts are pounding, some are broken, and souls searching for one common thing; that which is now so much commercialised…”Love”? Or perhaps the the idea of it? 14th February, many would prefer to call it valentine’s day, (a day set aside for lovers) Really? I’m wondering […]
Since I moved to where I now live, It took me while to first get use to my environment, and then begin to like it, before I could confidently say that I love it. But part of what I now love most about it, is the new friends I have made, after a long search […]
Dear Angel (a letter from happyblacky to my other self …), I’m glad you made it to this new year, with those big bright teeth showing off through those lips. I hope you are ready to stretch your mind to a new experience? I also hope you dropped that popular song of yours? you know […]
