Celebrating the strength of a woman.


The strength of a woman is not measured by the impact that all her hardships in life have had on her ; but the strength of a woman is measured by the extent of her refusal to allow those hardships to dictate her and who she becomes. C.Joybell C. (culled from www.goodreads.com)

March 8 International Women's Day Celebration celebrated since 1911 calling for women to celebrate their selves as well as seeking equality in the work place.
I just got to know about this type of celebration for the first time this year (all thanks to blogging and staying online), it got me because am a woman.
Also am all for women celebrating women. Why??
Because there's a lot of women doing so much in their career and also raising a wonderful family.
I celebrate them for all their awesomeness, sacrifices to make the world a better place.
Today I celebrate a very special lady I know (identity undisclosed).
She got married like every young woman her age and hoped for a happily ever after.
But death came knocking and snatched her young husband after barely 8 years of marriage.
Leaving her with 3 kids and a baby 4 months.
A lot of advice came from different quarters: "You're still young don't hang in there or even if you must you have to look for a man to take care of  your needs"
She didn't give in to any of the options.
First there's no way she will leave her kids.
Leave them for whom???
Second of all, there's no way she will give in to love again.
Because she enjoyed a blissful relationship with her late husband that produced four wonderful kids.
That's the heart of a woman!!!
A woman is more than her looks, beyond all her 'charm' lays a confident soul like a lion ready to take over the world.
A determination so strong that can turn a house to a home.
I celebrate womanhood.
There's every shade of greatness in a woman.
She's a girl, daughter, sister, wife and mother.
So love being a woman.
To all the fabulous women in my life, my mum, cousins, friends, colleagues, even those I met on social media.
I thank you for all the inspiration I draw from you.
Thank you for being amazing you!
I want to know your heartbeat.

Love Always.

Hard work vs. 'Smart' work

Image
Counting down to the end of January. It’s been an awesome one month ride!! Fresh start , getting it right, character development , identifying talents and learning skills. This is the last week of January but not the last of me. One important character of winners is persistence, they keep pressing, no quitting till they hit the mark. Hard work is persistence; it’s hard to beat a person who never gives up. I will keep, keeping on, no dulling, I can do all things. I will work smart too, meaning: I will put my mind to it; I will make sure my presentation is appealing. I will pay attention to details, no room for 'cut and join' or shabbiness. A man of excellence stands out and will always keep ahead of peers. Hard work is the first step for smart work because hard work gives the experience which enables us to think smartly on the easiest way to solve the problem. With hard work and smart work, I will achieve my New Year resolution. Let’s share views, please drop

All the best always!!! I never intended this post to be about me. I assumed Chizzy is celebrating a milestone and would want a more inspiring post or something about herself but after i got her email to guest write on her blog, i asked if she has a topic she would want me to write about, she simply said "You can talk about your blog and your work as a creative director" (hmmm such a big heart) Let me tell you how i met this amazing lady. It was here on blogsville (i think she followed me on Google and i followed back and the rest they say is history) but the truth is, it feels like i have known her since forever even though we haven't met. I admire her determination (see what she has done in 3moths), creativity and humility (it's not everyone that can go out of t

Depression- What about it?

Image
Depression is an emotion that comes up every now and then.Life really is a mixture of emotions though you pray the good supercede the bad and the ugly. So what happens when you are depressed? Do you sink in and hit rock bottom? Or do you fight it ? It's not a good feeling and no one deserves to be depressed so you have to fight it. Some of the things I do during my downtimes that are really helpful to me and I hope someone that comes across it might find helpful. 1: Identify my triggers and run away from them as much as possible or at least till am in a better head space. 2: Depression triggers the need to find comfort in food,watch what you eat at this point to avoid eating all the unhealthy food choices that will increase your health risks. 3:Talk to people you can really trust about whatever is bothering you and hear their perspective. 4: Keep a journal.I call my journal "healing journal" where I write all my crazy thoughts,concerns, challenges everything.
