I woke up this morning with a lot on my mind. Things I haven’t done, things I don’t have and things I want. I doubt if thats any different to a vast majority of people reading this. We all have our want list. Our brain is predisposed to think about things we don’t have not things we have. The result…
So anyone who knows me, knows I love me some Oprah. Super Soul Sunday, Oprah Master Class and Life class are just the thing the doctor ordered to lift the soul and transform the mind. At exactly 12:45 am this morning I watched these videos and literally had a halleluiah moment all by myself. Iyanla Vanzant says deep truths that…
The other day, I went for a party with a couple of friends. I noticed a very HOOOT looking dude giving me the Joey (from friends), ‘how you doing look’. I returned his gesture with a polite ‘I am alright but not particularly desperate’ smile. I then nudge my friend Temi to give me the 411 on the guy. She…
By J.N. Salters They say the first step to recovery is admitting the problem… I have a love-hate relationship with my snooze button. It is both a reminder that I have something to do and that I probably don’t have the energy needed to do it. I have been majorly depressed for as far back as my memory will take…

I’ve been struggling with prayer. I oscillate between not having anything to say and reading out a wish list of needs, wants and desires. ‘Father bless me, protect me, guide me’…and then my phone beeps and I take a quick peek to see who it is…. On other day, I forget completely, remembering only when I’m in a fix or need…
It’s the second edition of our #powerseries and already we’ve seen that its catching some buzz! For this edition we’ve decided to take a deeper look into power by examining the ways we can become powerful. This is important because as we discussed last week, for a long time we’ve seen power as command and control instead of an opportunity…
‘See as you dey do like woman’! ‘Woman driver’! ‘Why you dey cry like woman’……Somehow society has managed to insinuate that being a ‘girl’ is insulting.
