Time to have a conversation with the strong ones!


Hello folks💝,

I sincerely hope you are enjoying your week, it's Thursday😏, hang in there, I see Friyay!🙋


A friend from about nine years ago called me last week. Even though we had a lot to catch up on, by the end of the call, I was feeling quite sad. We talked about a lot of things that had happened in our lives, even though I was glad we had reconnected after a long absence. She was this "I've got it all under control" kind of girl. I felt bad that I wasn't there to participate in her joy when it happened and to provide a sympathetic ear when she needed it. There was, in my opinion, a feeling of reciprocity.

It is crucial we value people in our lives, especially if they are the genuine kind. The question is when last did you speak to that strong/well-organized buddy/sister or brother? you see those strong ones? Omo, give it to them o, as they have "a lot"(in-house joke) going on. So why don't you check on them, even if it's only to ask them, "How are you doing," rather than making assumptions about them or even condemning them for abandoning you? When one of my in-law sisters asked me that line while I was going through a very trying moment, it did a lot of healing for me. Although, I kept my feelings to myself and didn't share them with her.

If you think you are going through a lot, remember that comedy skit that has someone that was “the alot" in it??? 😂😂Why not make it a routine to talk to or phone someone anytime you have thought about them? you can have conversations with them and just say,


⦁ How are you doing today?

⦁ I have been thinking about you!

⦁ How may I be of assistance?

⦁ Is everything okay? would you like to share it with me?

⦁ I am always here whenever you need me


In order to be there for our loved ones when they need us, we all need to be able to communicate effectively. Please share any other methods you use in the comments below. My dear, e no easy o, we are all living on God's grace and mercy.


Las las  we go dey aii!💪😊

    Reading this post, I was in deep reflection about myself. A lot of folks seeing me posting on my status, smiling, driving my car and they feel my life is perfect. Many constantly seeking help, seeking advice but not knowing I had my own troubles to manage. I am not one to publicise my issues, so you won't have an idea when something was wrong. However there were a few times I remember people just checking up on me and it was gold to me.
    Personally I just scroll through my phone book and call people I haven't heard from in a while. At other times, I love to chat very cheerful people up as I realize in some occasions they're going through something.

    So truth.we really do not have to wait till someone is dying before we check on them.I had someone who did that for me while I was going through my own a lot and that did the magic for me. She brought me out of my dark place

Simple things in life!

 It's the simple things in life for me! The most recent time I had rain was in 2019! I usually get visions of raindrops in my imagination after talking to my family back home and hearing that it was pouring rain. Apart from the drops she sees on TV, my 4-year-old daughter has never experienced or witnessed drops in real life. We are all aware that this year's high levels of global warming are a result of human activity, including rising greenhouse gases, deforestation, industrial activity, the earth's feedback loop, agricultural activity, changes in the sun's strength, etc. Some regions of the world—including the UK, Europe, China, and some sections of the USA—experienced heat in a tremendous way this year (2022) such that it never happened before. So when I noticed the cloud started to display symptoms of rain, it wasn't such a shock! Finally, two days ago, it rained "Cats and Dogs". The majority of us found it to be an amazing moment because we had reall

Tales often told about women.

 Hey Lovies,💓 We frequently hear tales of women or ladies who got married and neglected their own needs. Usually, we automatically leap to the conclusion that she became less beautiful to her husband because "oh she became too comfy or perhaps started eating too much."😕 Actually, in my perspective, those are correct sentences to some extent. However, in the instances where it has actually occurred, don't we believe there is a reason why this occurs?  She takes care of her own, which is a terrific quality in a woman. If given the chance, the majority of women would go above and above to make sure their house is a secure place to live. The husband and child(ren) are usually taken care of first, and they frequently neglect their own needs in the process. Even though the husband is older (In most cases), there have been instances where he appears much younger than the wife. Give a woman a house, and she will make it into a home, according to an old proverb. The precise mean

Welcome back message.

 I'm excited to be back.  I sincerely apologize for the wait. Life has been going on. Going back to work and adjusting to reality after the lockdown (what an experience that was!) was a little daunting, and we later learned we were expecting our second child (I will share highlights of that journey eventually). As we all know, balancing everything was a little too much. Being in the diaspora alone without having access to extended family and all the support that entails is interesting! Well, I'm back now.  I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone who supported, pushed, and helped me to restart this blog. It means a lot to me a lot. I can assure you that this time, we are going to have fun gisting, gossiping, and even ranting about different topics. I am excited about this new journey!
