Self-Love
What does Self-love mean to you? Personally, Self-love is basically guarding my heart and making sure my happiness is a priority. This does not mean I am less concerned about my partner, friends or families happiness. It simply means being at my best to ensure i am able to give my best. I have heard people compare ‘self love’ to being selfish or conceited. Like every other issue we have had to deal with, self love cannot exactly be explained without its faults. This is as a result of conflicting individual opinions as to what self love is, how we handle self-love and how we others to understand our…

Another Resolution Story.
You pick habits from your teen years and they will perhaps just be a phase. You keep at it repeatedly for a while and once it starts to contradict your routine, it goes out the door.

Everyone had a list of things they wanted achieve or become in the new year. At that age, whether you understood what was going on or not, you grab a pen and paper start writing because your Sunday school teacher or class teacher said you should. Coercing me write a list…

*Dust cobwebs* I consciously came in here today…and omg…..the post from September 2012 brought me close to tears….. Instead of crying though, i found myself thanking God for his countless favour.

NIGERIA @ 52
*Yawns* I woke up this morning and with my eyes still half shut, I managed to find my phone by my bed ( its so typical of me to look for my phone once I wake up from sleep). *sigh* Five blackberry messages and I was excited until I saw three of them were independence day broadcasts (why people do this is beyond me). I even got a broadcast message from a contact telling people not to send independence day broadcasts to her… how ironic right… *moving on* *rubs eye* With the green and white dp’s,updates,bc’s and tweets about today, I am now very aware our Dear Country is…
