Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God laid for me, I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play, tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,then fill it with remembered joy, a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me,God wanted me now, He set me free.

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the-morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die. Author: Mary Elizabeth Frye.

I had my launch party tonight!!!!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Lola @ 11:59 pm

... And I am now home, chomping on the last of the very pink cupcakes and still in my party outfit (satin corset and skirt) with full make up (I told the MAC artist to make me look like Beyonce - and it may have worked.. ish!).   I now of course don’t want to take my make up off (great false lashes, Maaan) and I’m tempted to wear it to bed, hoping it stays put for the Orange Book awards tommorow. But I’m being silly, right? Right? Yes, yes Ok - I’ll go to bed…  But maybe in an hour or so….

BTW the book launch was FAB. A lot more controlled than last year and when I say controlled I mean there was a lot less screaming!!!!  My mum was there in her stunning nigerian attire and once again it was lovely to see my friends, family and colleagues all in one room. I had a great time and I really hope everyone else did to!

Time to take the make up off…?

Maybe in another hour…
