My Quote of the day

This quote made my day 

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.  Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.

The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

Just Those Few Months

I am writting this in honour of my sister who lost a her first born and She so eagerly longed for.

Dear Sis, I feel the pain with you. 

For those few Months --
I had you to myself
And that seems too short a time

to be changed so profoundly.

In those few Months --
I came to know you
and to love you.
You came to trust me with your life.
Oh, what a life I had planned for you!


Just those few Months --
When I lost you.
I lost a lifetime of hopes,
plans, dreams, and aspirations..
A slice of my future simply vanished overnight.

Just those few Months --
It wasn't enough time to convince others
how special and important you were.
How odd, a truly unique person has recently died
and no one is mourning the passing.

Just a mere few Months --
And no "normal" person would cry all night
over a tiny, unfinshed baby,
or get depressed and withdrawn day after endless day.
No one would, so why am I?

You were just those few Months  my little one
you darted in and out of my life too quickly.
But it seems that's all the time you needed
to make my life so much richer
and give me a small glimpse of eternity.

Rapportive Extension- A must Have Gmail add on

I can sum up my feelings of the Rapportive extension:It is freakin awesome! I installed it on my Mozilla Browser a couple of months back and it has been a huge value add to my emailing program. Basically what it does is allows you to have more social overview of who you are emailing. As you can see in the picture I provided, if I was emailing myself, it brings up all my social profiles and at the bottom when you have had email correspondence already for someone it highlights the most recent interactions.

It is currently limited to a couple of browsers of which Internet Explorer is not included. You also need to have a gmail account as well. So it has its limitations for some but not for me. I am Chrome-Gmail advocate. I love it.

This is how it has changed my emails. It has allowed me to make it more personal. 90% of all the people I correspond with have at the very least a LinkedIn account. So when I start working on an email, the person whom I am emailing pops up on the right hand side. So now I actually have a face to email to. This is a huge game changer to me on how I emails. Emails can come across dry and canned because there is no face to face. This changes that. My friend Xela Wafs allowed me to use him as an example. So when I am emailing Xela I have his picture. When I hover over his Twitter or Facebook account it shows me what he posted last. I can click on recent mail and it opens a new window and I can review all of the emails that we have sent each other.

The other nice thing about it is that you can track those who have several accounts in social media, for example if Xela had two facebook accounts, it  reflects and I can be able to track it even if he was hiding one from me.
To me this is a must have Gmail add on for sure.
