Last week, my 19-year-old daughter removed fish from the freezer and placed it on the kitchen counter to thaw. When she walked into the kitchen hours later, she found a stray cat feasting on the fish. The cat had got in through an open window in the kitchen. My daughter had made one of the common kitchen hygiene mistakes many of us make. To make a long story short, we had to throw away the fish. My daughter was devastated. We had to ponder over what else to prepare for dinner. Since hubby had traveled out of town, we decided to eat…
A Mother’s love is the toughest bond that ever existed. It remains unchanged by time or distance. It’s purest love, unconditional and true. It’s a friendship based on mutual love, respect, and genuine liking. It’s strong enough to withstand harsh words and hurt feelings. It’s a love of the present, interwoven with memories of the past and dreams of the future. A Mother’s love helps to overcome obstacle, fears and challenges in life. It’s brave enough to always speak the truth. It’s a treasure that makes life easier and more valuable. A Mother’s love is a gift held in the…
On Easter Monday, I decided to clean and arrange our shoe storage room. As I arranged the shoes, I couldn’t help smiling at the different colors, designs, shapes, etc of the shoes in there. They represent our different personalities (my daughter and I). And yes, your favorite shoes say a lot about you. After arranging the shoe storage room, I couldn’t help noticing that my daughter has more shoes than me (and she’s only 19). Her shoe collection includes different types and colors of sneakers, flats, boots, and brogues. My collection includes wedges, flats, block-heel pumps, and two…
As I sat outside and watched the sunrise recently, I was filled with a mixture of emotions. I felt like crying, smiling, happy and sad simultaneously. I realized it was a new day, which symbolized a new beginning. As I meditated, I realized there were things I should let go of for my peace of mind and happiness. The previous day, I had gone to the market with my younger sister to buy vegetables and fruits. The vendor we bought peas from was very rude to us. Her rudeness upset me so much that I was still annoyed when I…
Socrates, the great Philosopher in Ancient Greece was famous for many things, among them, holding knowledge in high esteem. One day, a friend told Socrates, “I heard something intriguing about our friend. I can’t wait to tell you.” Socrates said to his friend, “Wait a minute. I want us to put what you want to tell me about our friend through the three-filter test. This is a test that you should always do before talking about something or others (gossiping).” Socrates continued, “The First Filter is TRUTH. So, are you sure what you want to tell me about our friend…
Hi good people. In my last post, I shared the amazing life lessons you can learn from watching the sunset. I wrote that post after watching a beautiful sunset in the countryside. Now, I feel like that post would be incomplete if I didn’t share the amazing life lessons you can learn from watching the sunrise. Before I wrote this post, I had spent about an hour watching the sunrise. It was an awesome experience, to say the least. The beautiful, golden, orange, and red colors of the sunrise were breathtaking. The emotions that engulfed me as I watched the…
Hi good people. During the weekend, I visited a beautiful place in the countryside. I was with some friends, and we had a blast. Just as we were about to leave, the sun started setting. We decided to relax and enjoy the magnificent sunset. As I enjoyed the moment and took photos and videos, I couldn’t help thinking of the amazing life lessons we can learn from watching the sunset. Many of us love watching the sunset and capturing the moment in videos and photos. You see, the sunset is a natural phenomenon that signifies the end of a day.…
Last week, as I was watching a movie with my daughter, she received a call from one of her high school friends. I couldn’t help overhearing the conversation (I was seated right there). Apparently, the girl (let’s call her Terry), who is a 1st year student at the university was in the process of starting an income-generating activity. Terry said she wanted to start a fish and chips business near the university. Her target market was university students. She needed to raise around $1000 to start the business. So, she was reaching out to her friends (including my daughter) to…
