God, I want a CLOSER walk with You. Amen. I think I said it back in 2010 or so, and to see how God has changed me from a sad, anxious, bitter, unforgiving, fretful, overweight, starving for love, crazy lady into a happy, loving, forgiving, peaceful and fearless warrior, has been nothing short of a …

And how HE has beautifully led me to a VERY HAPPY LIFE!!! But, WE (me and God) want YOU along with us—Hey, I don’t want to be this joyful by myself! Like between God and my hubby, they have me spoilt! This morning, seeing some mangoes on our kitchen counter from yesterday, I didn’t want …

A TOAST TO GOD
Instead of throwing out some old smoothie, I asked my cook, Victoria, to place it in a glass for me. She, very surprisingly, put it in a champagne glass. It was the very one I would use to have a nightly drink with my hubby in my attempts to dumb all the UGLY thoughts I …

I said to this beautiful daughter, Ember, standing next to me. She was inaugurated recently as the FIRST head girl of a school that opened for the very FIRST time on her birthday, for the very FIRST year we relocated to Nigeria.

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST LESSON YOU’VE LEARNED FROM AN ENEMY?
I asked my family at our Christmas Day Brunch recently. Julie said she had learned from a girl at school who’s always very insulting to her friends to be NICE. I said I had learned that what others think and say about me is really NONE of my business. And our eleven-year-old son, Emmie, surprised …

“I’M JUST TRYING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE”
That was me to my daughters yesterday! I turned into crazy mom to get them to clean their rooms and study. “It’s about having discipline!” is what I told them. And you don’t go far in life without discipline! The hardest thing we have to do is to conquer ourselves and be the people we …
