So you’ve just gotten this amazing job offer or promotion. You’ve been dreaming about this position for years and now you are finally there. You get the contract and hurriedly tear open the envelope. Your smile turns upside down and you mentally calculate what your monthly take home would be after tax and pensions…..not what you expected but its ok, you’ll work really…
Single and happy? Isnt that an oxymoron? The rush to the alter is real, happiness is tied to saying I do and those who haven’t said the sacred vows are banished to the land of misery until the knight in shinning armor turns up and gives us the kiss of life that is marriage…. Marriage is a wonderful thing and…
2 weeks ago I published an article on how to acknowledge your own beauty. I think many women spend so much (unnecessary) time fussing and fighting about what they look like instead of embracing their true beautiful selves! I watched this video on BuzzFeed and I just had to share it. “There is no need to love your body with trepidation…”…
Haters! Everywhere! No matter what you do these days, there always seems to be someone somewhere who isn’t satisfied or has a complaint. Critics….they can make you or break you. I find these days we concentrate too much on the person giving the criticism rather than the merit behind their comments. Granted, people need to learn how to frame negative…
By Kim Kimberling for proverbs31.org What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”Romans 8:31 (NIV) When I tell people that my wife Nancy and I have been married 45 years, I almost always hear “Wow!” and “That’s great.” I appreciate those comments, but where we are today has been…
Friendships. One of life’s necessary ingredients. Complicated little monsters that can make life quite difficult or filled with laughter and pleasant memories. It has struck me that while we spend so much time evaluating how our friends have betrayed us or let us down….we dont spend as much time thinking about how good a friend we’ve been. For a long…
It’s hard. With images of perfect, long limed, slim, small waisted and wash board stomachs floating around, to feel you measure up or come even close to what society terms as beautiful. Sometimes we think beauty is about change. If only I could be slimmer, taller, had a bigger butt, smaller nose, cat like eyes, smaller forehead, longer hair…..we modify…
Somehow I feel like the recovery queen. My poor heart has been broken a bit more times than I’d like to admit. But if there’s anything I have learnt its that relationships, the ones that last forever or for a short time, are great teachers. They teach us about ourselves and what we can or should expect from others. Today’s…
These women are game changers! These women not only own/run some of the most popular media sites in Nigeria but they also shape the narrative of what we read and hear…now that’s power! You may not agree with some of their methods or content but these women ultimately are running businesses which are in some respects the first of their…
So here’s the raw,honest to God truth. I’m single and it bothers me. It’s not the type of bother that makes me cry or contemplate my self worth. It’s the type of bother that hits you on a Friday evening when you’d rather be having dinner with that special someone or that creeps up on you when you are planning…
