Road to 'Fabulous-City'

We ask ourselves ''Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?" Actually, who am I not to be? I'm a child of God, I'm playing small does not serve the world. I was born to make manifest the glory of God that is within me. It isn't just in some of us, it is in everyone- Nelson Mandela

It was on the night before the eve of my birthday, I had received text message earlier which I ignored, a call came through at about 10.30, ''...This is Don flexy...". He wanted to know if I got the message inviting me for an audition the following day. After he went off, Miss Eina Mynde AKA 'Inner Mind' wouldn't let me be...

ME: I'm not going for that audition!
EINA: oh yes you will!
ME: Oh no, I won't!
EINA: OK, why not?
ME: It's too impromptu, besides I've got tomorrow planned up- you know I have to go to church in the    morning after which I'd wait for my cake to be delivered, then I have to conclude with the photographer for the birthday shoot...oh then I have to finish my dress, then I have to...
EINA: excuses ma'am!
Me: Call it whatever, I'm goin to bed- goodni...
EINA: Heey! why don't you look up the website in the message first?
ME: Oooooh! It's way past my bedtime and I need my beauty sleep.
EINA: it won't take too long
ME: OK!
...

EINA: So...?
ME: looks good, but...
EINA: Now what?
ME: I'm not ready for this sort of thing
EINA: You don't really have to be, you have to leave your comfort zone my lady
ME: hmmmmm!
EINA: sleep on it
ME: Goodnight!
...

EINA: Goodmorning beautiful!
ME: A goodmorning it sure is- I have a date with God
EINA: yes but you will call Don flexy first
ME: Why?
EINA: More info about the auditon today
ME: but it's all in the...
EINA: Don't argue, just do it!
ME: OKAAAAAAAAY!
...

ME: You made me wake him up!
EINA: Did he complain?
ME: actually no, he asked me to call the number in the message... she says I should come with my portfolio
EINA:So you'd go wi...
ME: I don't have any portfolio
EINA: but you do! all you need to do is take the photos off the system
ME: Pls, I'm not in the mood! this is too sudden. Now leave me alone, I'm going to church!
EINA: Yes Ma'am!
...

EINA: That was a spirit moving service, wasn't it?
ME:  Oh sure it was.
EINA: so does that move you to go for the audition?
ME: Oh well...
EINA: switch on your phone now
ME: yes!
...

ME: A message from Don flexy
EINA: so why are you rolling your eyes?
ME: because I'm wonderimg why he's so keen on me- am I the only one who's been invited?
EINA: No, you're not. He just wanted to know if you got the info you needed from the lady
ME: and I'm going to reply '' thank you, I got the info, but I'm still trying to make up my mind"
EINA: and that's me- I'm made up! you're going!
ME: Pls mind your business!
EINA: That's exactly what I'm doing- 'MINDING my business'! This is the same attitude you put up for the MTN competition
ME: I wasn't ready!
EINA: And 'ARISE'? Just to work backstage?
ME: I was busy.
EINA: You coulda made out time if you really wanted
ME; Whatever!
EINA: I'm not letting you be this time, you're going for the audition
ME: I see you're out to embarass me on national T.V! I'm not good enough!
EINA: I know you're a little afraid, but it's better to try and fail than not to have tried at all 'cos then you'd never know
ME: Ok, ok. I'd do it. let's get home first!
...

EINA: Ma'am?
ME: Yeeees?
EINA: the photos....?
