Dear Woman …

 Dear Woman, Your strength is second to none. Undefined maybe. You are an army of one, leading territories and championing every cause. Your ebony skin is like pure pearls, like honey and milk. Like expensive jewels, your hair, your curves, your lips, your smile, your legs all glow and radiate beauty that is beyond skin deep.  You are so unique, leaving every space softer and more colourful. You are like sweet perfume, spreading fresh fragrance everywhere from the boardroom to…

IWD Celebration – My Gift

What was your International Women’s Day gift? Well, I got a wrapper😂 HE GIFTED ME A WRAPPER!!🤣 My 5-year-old gave me a gift to commensurate international women’s day. ‘Mummy!’ Seddie called. ‘Yes,’ I answered without looking up, still hammering away on my keyboard. ‘Happy international women’s day, mummy.’ I paused momentarily, looked up, and smiled. ‘Here is a gift for you’; he continued, extending a beautifully folded ‘wrapper’ with a smile. A big smile engulfed my face, and my heart…

THE CURE FOR STRESS

Did you know that a change of scenery, great food, awesome conversations, and lots of laughter may just be the cure you need to de-stress? YES! it’s that simple. Things the body and mind experience when stressed are better watched as a video than described. Lola, my bosom friend, was so stressed by work deadlines, a relationship hanging by a thread, family pressure, and putting up with the woes of surviving in a megacity called Lagos, such that she became a…

Where do you draw Strength?

Two members of my household were sick last week, and I was emotionally, mentally, and physically drained from caring for them, meeting work deadlines, and living up to other general expectations from life and family. I felt overwhelmed, overworked, and worn out by anxiety. I constantly fretted over their loss of appetite, reoccurring fever, dull look, and unusually long sleep pattern. I completely forgot the medications administered were kicking in and, their bodies required the long rest to recover fully.…

My Oxygen – This is Who I am

My Oxygen are lines of words I frequently declare to myself to keep me ‘high’ and positive. Often referred to as words of affirmations by many; I chose to call it Oxygen, borrowing the name and concept from my friend Ngozi Akinyele, a speaker on Trendy mum Talks 6.0. Just like Oxygen, I daily gas up myself with these lines reminding me of Who am I – my identity, personality, giftings, and blessings. I am sharing my draft with you to…

Attempting to find a balance between these two can be somewhat difficult.  The tips below have helped me achieve a bit of harmony in my work and personal life.  The first is…

AN INTENTIONAL VACATION

I feel good that another school session has come to an end and, the long vacation is here again. This school session has stretched me to bits with many episodes of emotional roller- coaster. Thank God for a great support system. It first began with the online classes and graduated to on-site classes with lots of extra lessons to catch up on outstanding work. It was then crowned with the daily adherence to stipulated Covid-19 protocols at school. We were…

FINDING YOUR RHYTHM.

A new driver was assigned to my unit years ago and today’s muse brings memories of my first encounter with him. He was neatly dressed in a white shirt and grey pants with a red tie, extremely polite, and was eager to please everyone. As we made our first ride together, he repeatedly asked if I was comfortable with the music, air conditioning temperature, the positioning of the front seat, the speed of the car, and everything else till I…

ENJOYING THE GROWTH PROCESS

“Mark ran up the stairs and away from the big black cat, he wrapped his arms around his skinny body trembling with fright…” I lay beside my 4 years old, listening to him read fluently from an old storybook. I smiled thoughtfully as my heart swelled with so much pride. A few months ago, pronouncing three-letter and four-letter words were a great struggle which made my heart worry. It didn’t occur to my ‘overly expectant self’ that Seddie was just…
