How I Found Out I Was Pregnant

When you find out you're pregnant, you may feel happy and excited, or shocked, confused and upset. Everybody is different. 

I was confident we wouldn’t have ANY issues getting pregnant (when we are ready) since Kachi, my husband and I got married as virgins. In retrospect, I got too ahead of myself.

I thought it would be cathartic for me and hopefully helpful for you to write about our journey of wanting a baby. But, I am finding video content to be easier for me to create in this season.

Prophetic Pregnancy Announcement – PerfectMachForever

Never ever felt such Joy overflow in my heart! Kachi and I are introducing you to our pregnancy/baby journey with this music video titled ‘We Prophesy’. Pregnancy Announcement can also come with a prophetic element. This is more than a song.

Celebrating My Journey To Motherhood

My draft disappeared shortly before this post and now, I am not in a calm state of mind to write anything “inspirational”. Yeah. This is because I am too joyful to write.

Happy Birthday To Me

If you’ve been a follower of my writings, then you’ll know I draw from my feelings. My emotions. My heart. However, right now I want to be out FEELING MY FEELINGS. 

It’s not so easy to write when I’m happy. Neither because I have less feelings or feelings about those feelings, nor because my happy feelings are any less worthy of being written about than my heartbreaking feelings, but simply because being happy makes me want to go out and scream than sit down to reflect.

I don’t want to talk; I want to do. I don’t want to reflect; I want to be. So it’s harder, much harder, to write today. 

A Totally Different June (Or Journey?) In My Life

It's been a minute since I last blogged in real time. I took an intentional break in updating my public diary because I was concerting a lot of spiritual and physical energy in other areas of my life. A lot has happened in the past few months, scratch that, in the past one year, I mean, was it not like yesterday when I celebrated my 30th Birthday?

I am a proud June baby. And I glow differently in June. Those born in June or have loved ones born in June can testify to this glow. Cheers to all the June babies out there! We are the coolest ones. The way they say C-o-o-l is the same way we say J-u-n-e. Yeah, we are cool like that. 

This is an official welcome to the second half of the year! Let’s just say we spent the first half of the year sowing to reap a bountiful harvest into the second half of the year. Wait! What am I even saying? Lol. Amaka! June is the 6th month of the year!

The First Time It Happened

Can we all just pretend that I never left, please? Lol. I got an email from Google Adsense telling me I’d have to register my blog again for ads to continue showing. It appeared the bots got no update from here and assumed that amakamedia.com was down or unavailable. Well, I’m here now!

I had wanted to be back a little earlier but I kept overthinking about the things to say first. I have so much to share. Believe me. But then again, the perfectionist in me is yet to find the perfect timing. 

Like I said in my previous post, YouTube (PerfectMachForever TV) is the platform where I’m currently emitting my Heart Rays. Catch me on there!

Kachi and I posted our First Time Tag — This is a tag where we answer a series of questions about the first time we did something together. For example, the first time we went to see a movie, the first time we kissed, etc.

Watch and Enjoy!

How To Make Any Year Your Best Year

Happy New Year, Sweethearts of my blogosphere! I know. . . I know I have been MIA on this space quite frequently but it’s really been so fascinating doing things differently. Guys, I have seen GROWTH. And you know how keen I am on growing, changing and all things related, right?

Refresh The New Year

This year is not just another “new year” but the first of the blank pages of a whole year waiting for what we will write into our lives, and what growth, changes and greatness we’ll pull from within.

In as much as we would like it to be so, no one can wake up one day a completely changed person. Any meaningful change to your life takes constant effort over a sustained period of time. While the idea of long term change can seem scary, it also means a little bit everyday can take you a long way in forging habits you’ve always wanted to.

Some changes happen because you intentionally worked them out, but some happen without you even knowing. I am yet to decide whether I am more content with the changes I discerned or the ones that forcefully pounce on me. Nevertheless, I have grown to embrace change both in the presence of fear and/or faith. Glory to God!

I love sharing my life with you guys, but sometimes it's hard to be vulnerable. Blessedly, my most vulnerable posts on this blog have been met with the warmest reception. Cheers to authenticity! These are my three goals for the new year:

DIARY: November To Remember (2020)

One of the best things about recording good memories is that the more you choose to, the easier you find them. The more you profess gratitude, the more you notice things to be grateful for. I love to keep a daily record through the of month November each year. And guess what? The thankfulness muscles respond to exercise!

November 2020

Sunday 1 - It’s the very first Sunday of the month. Jamming to a Nigerian Praise Song to church. Visiting my parents. Eating Rice+plantain+chicken. 

Monday 2 - Feeling really exhausted after a very eventful weekend. Can I sleep throughout the day, please?

Tuesday 3 - Working on a project for a Client’s website. 

Wednesday 4 - Losing my appetite. My head hurts. I may be falling sick. 

Thursday 5 - Editing a video for PerfectMachForever TV. 

Friday 6 - Resting on Kachi’s broad chest while we’re having our (first) Friday date night. We are watching a movie on TV titled ‘Shoot To Kill’. Quite suspense-filled.

Do You Believe In Marriage At First Sight? (Interview)

For weeks, I battled with myself whether to bring The MACH Show onto Heart Rays. I didn't want to mix both forms of content but it dawned on me that if I don't share what I've been up to lately, then my status as a Lifestyle Blogger would probably be questionable. Lol. Lately, I have been expressing myself more on YouTube. So, if you are not subscribed to PerfectMachForeverTV, you just might be missing something.

Anyway, I have decided to try as much as possible to share highlights from each episode of The MACH Show as being led. I trust that it would bless you. Here is the second episode:

Married At First Sight

----- Introduction ----

Presenter (Me): Hi guys. This is PerfectMachForeverTV. Welcome again to our channel. Today, we have this fascinating couple here to tell us about their journey. . . we'll get to know them and then have some fun! (Everyone smiles)

Presenter (Me): *looks toward the couple* Thank you so much for having us. Let's meet you both.

Nnanna (Husband): Hello Everyone. My name is Nnanna. And that's my wife, *points at her* Irene.

Irene (Wife): *blushes* Irene.

Nnanna (Husband): We are the Inyamah Family.

Igbo and Yoruba: Truth About Inter-Tribal Marriage in Nigeria

I will be doing myself a disservice if I do not post the first few episodes of the MACH Show on Heart Rays. I am not going to lie; since the lockdown, 75% of the time I get to be online is spent on PerfectMachForeverTV. I am so thrilled about the vision and I am doing all I can to steer this fragile birthing phase. I hope you understand.

Can you marry from another tribe? In the third episode of the MACH SHOW, we are exposing the realities of an intertribal marriage in Nigeria. Grab some popcorn because. . . hmm!

When I'm not here, I am on YouTube. I go where the Spirit leads.

SUBSCRIBE To PerfectMachForever TV 

Have a great day.

Stay inspired.

Stay positive.

Stay safe.

Nikki Laoye's Failed Marriage Broke My Heart

Welcome to a New Week Sweethearts! I'm sorry that I have to start the week with this. I have been so restless in my spirit since I heard about her divorce.

Christian Failed Marriages

In 2015, I blogged about Nikki Laoye. I shared how much I adore her love story. The fact that she and her ex husband (jeez! Ex hus-what?? That doesn't even sound OK to me) married as virgins was a source of comfort, sort of encouragement to me. At that time, I was a Christian single walking in purpose with a resolve to keep myself for marriage.
