About 2026

Simply Breaking New Grounds.

I was writing this piece in January 2026 and left it. 

Now I am picking it up in the middle of the Year. 

The year had begun and it was and is indeed worthy of saying "Thank you Father". Words I saw Pastor Kingsley type on his YouTube and LinkedIn pages as he posted pictures of his birthday. 

I was praying in January and remembered what Kiity told me I needed to study. "Project Management". I said I would note this. I also remembered that I would need to put in place certain items. Some on the list are:

  1. Project Management. 
  2. CCNA 
  3. Speak more in Public
  4. Pray. 
  5. Study. Both the Bible & Other Books.
  6. Run the 16km day Dam tot Dam Loop. (Still signed up for the 8km run instead.)
  7. Dutch Language.
All these combined do not compare with the joy of  Kunfaiyeoluwa. No experience or achievement beats this. 

Have I got any other goal for the year at this time in June 2026? Lots of things on mind but then I am overjoyed by something more. 

As  I pick this up again in June 2026, I reflect on the past 5 months. I also reflect on thoughts I have been having on giving back or rather impacting lives especially in the area of marriage. I am not yet at the perfect realm but I see a lot of wonderful marriages and would like more people to have this. Maybe this desire was borne out of getting to hear people complain or see them experience certain issues in their marriages that I consider should be so obvious. But then, this is not about the marriage talk. 

Have I broken any new ground in H1 2026? Truth be told, the Year kicked off with lots of new things. some within my control and others not within. 

Still amazes me about the call we had in February 2026 about a house we wanted to buy. It was above our budget as at November 2025 and we couldn't take it but we let them know what we could do. they said No. And then, fast forward to February 2026, it was offered to us at the exact rate we could get it at. But we had moved on. We decided to hold on buying an apartment and simply rented for the year while we looked on. I sometimes consider if we were hasty to close on the decision to buy or not. But then, I also recall how easy it and ready the path was made to take up the new house we live in. Getting it in the midst of people saying they could not get a house was a key one. We have started looking at the housing market again and would make a decision soon. No doubt, living in the Mayor gave a  different perspective and I do not regret the decision to continue renting as it opened up a perspective I did not know existed while in the Populierenlaan apartment. 

Now to the Big deal. 
Clocked 40 on May 18, 2026. I seem not to be spending time on some things that would in a way 'waste' my time.

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

  I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life.  You indeed have a legacy to cherish and to build on. Your mum, grand-mums and great-grand-mums are one of the strongest and determined persons I have met and I know the seed lives on in you. Yes, I did come to know them all and I see the foundation you have to lean on. You are Royalty both Spiritually and by Land Origin. 1 Pet 2:9 reminds me of your spiritual royalty and the knowledge that you are of the origin of men who have reigned as Kings in Nigeria both in Kogi and Ondo States. Therefore, let the words scribed above by the Queen of the Southern Nigerian Kingdom bring light to you today and for every other day. I was watching a movie during the past weekend and it showcased a Father who stood by his daughter even when the whole community were against her. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

The Vacation Idea

  Kiity and I differ on this. What is a vacation? What is a retreat? Kiity made me think of retreat. To me, every time away from work is a vacation. This is my simple definition.  I recall when I was studying. The same definition applied. Anytime away from school is a vacation. When the school is not in session, we are on vacation. The same has applied to my work life.  But Kiity sees it differently. She had to google this and the AI overview gave the feedback below: A vacation is primarily for relaxation and fun, while a retreat focuses on personal growth, self-reflection, and often includes structured activities aimed at improving well-being Kiity is right by this definition. I have told her.  In my own world, it seems definitions are simple and when adhered to, makes my life simple. Where did all this come from? It came from a post Kiity made on Polarsteps about "our first Family Vacation". I looked at it and said we had done a lot of vacations in the past based o...

Dam tot Dam loop Business Run - 5miles or 8km - Done!

  Yes, I did. And it was fun. I ran the Dam tot Dam loop Business Run 5Miles. And it was amazing to do this for the first time ever in 2024.  I got to know about the run about 2 months ago during a chat with Jana Reiss and I was interested. I had seen a friend and former line manager at MainOne, Ayomide, run marathons and amass medals from the run. I have also seen another former line manager, Vremudia run a lot including the marathons.  Living in the Netherlands made it easy to join the band wagon. You have roads with a bicycle path and the walk way aside the road for cars. Thus, I loved to joined the band wagon and have now taken part in the first long distance run.  I did the run the 8K in 1:08:10 Hrs. the best runner of the day did it in 25 mins. A pretty long way to get to for me. But I recall in my practice, the first time I did the 8K was 1:15:00 Hrs and the second time 1:09:00 Hrs. So a little improvement but definitely within my plan. I wasn't aiming to be t...
