Dame Helen Mirren says that a rather unconventional approach has made her nearly 20-year marriage last — an achievement that’s something of an anomaly in Hollywood, where many unions end faster than you can say “I do.” It’s all down to “spending a lot of time apart,” Mirren said, in a sit-down interview with Entertainment Tonight. With her thriving career, it’s…

by Melissa Nixon for Courageous Life Academy I absolutely love the start of a new year! But with it also comes some serious reflection of what did or didn’t happen in the year before. With all the hype of moving into something new, there may also come a twinge of disappointment for the things you set out to accomplish but…
“LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered — how fleeting my life is.” Psalm 39:4 (NLT) I wanted to crawl in a hole and hide.

By Wendy Pope for Proverbs 31 Ministries May God strike me and kill me if even one man of his household is still alive tomorrow morning!” 1 Samuel 25:22 (NLT) “I’m going to let her have it!” My friend said she’d had enough with another friend’s gossip and lies. She asked me to read an email she’d composed to this woman, basically…
I really believe 2015 was a vital year for the Nigerian woman! In some ways our conversations on equality, opportunity and importance of self got louder and we found creative ways to engage each other and those around us.

We are all entrepreneurs of our own…

So I bumped into this and I simply loved it! In a recent, #Spirit post, we discussed practical ways for showing kindness, but what better place to demonstrate kindness than in the office.
