IN HOUSE MEMO

Hello to you and you.....

The reason the in house news and the spontaneous posts on this Blog came about is to allow Blog visitors post in them and not litter other posts with brouhaha and comments that are irrelevant to that post, heaven knows it is not easy running an Interactive Blog like this. 

I beg you to corporate with me by not posting things that do not belong in the comment section of certain posts, if you do, the comment will not be enabled to avoid derailment... I delete comments everyday that try to derail other posts...

Please if you think the spontaneous post is too late to take the brouhaha there, then please wait for the in house news to air your mind without the kind of heavy words that i see.......

Thank for your understanding....

If you really need advert to support your business, please send it in but make sure your photos are Internet and business friendly or i wont post it.... 

I heard some people said I am jealous of BVs or former BVs whose businesses or so have grown...So so funny, why will i be jealous of something i helped build? building for people, helping people grow is my passion and it will not stop.

The mother of all giveaways to support Businesses will berth sometime soon....

Enjoy the rest of the day and stay out of harms way, you hear?

INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD



I love being a mom, I love home-schooling, I love working from home. I give my kids my hundred percent and more. I do my best to be a good mother, wife, daughter and sister, I am really giving it my best shot.

This lady right here( me) is exhausted. 

I am deeply exhausted, I am watching my brood run around the sitting room while I seat at the dining room and as much as my heart is bursting with love for them I want and I need a break. I have been under the weather for a long time but I have been keeping everything together.

I would just love a day or just half a day off to rest, sleep and relax. Everyone around me is super duper busy right now so I can’t take a break. I have been breastfeeding for three years and three months straight up( two kids at a stretch). I tried baby led weaning and my boy didn’t stop till the day I gave birth to his brother. He had gag reflex issues, his brother who I am currently breastfeeding at one plus has a milder form. He would throw up from swallowing a grain of rice.

I am rambling and it’s just because I am tired. Writing about it helps and I feel way better already, I am still going to find a way to get my much deserved break




Gag reflex issues? Hearing bout it for the first time..... Please take a break if your body is showing you signs that you need a break otherwise you might break down........

A STORY TO LEARN FROM

I boarded a bus last week to go get a few things from the market, and an interesting conversation broke out on the bus. I overheard a passenger telling another passenger a story of how a dead father recently recommended his son for a job in Lagos state and helped him get the job. 

I wondered how a dead man could help his living son to secure a job. It just didn't make sense.

I'm not someone who believes such stories easily, but from the way he sounded, I could tell he meant every word he was saying. The other passenger read my mind (or so I thought at that moment) and asked him to explain further.

The passenger smiled and began telling the full story of how it happened. I had my ears fully open at that point. According to his story, the dead man's son had been jobless for over 6 years after graduation from the university. 

He had submitted applications in several organizations but was never lucky. The young man fed from hand to mouth and lived in a one-room apartment without even a mattress.

That fateful Monday morning, he showed up at an oil and gas firm where he had been shortlisted for an interview. On arriving there, he met other job seekers who had even better qualifications than him.

He wasn't even sure he would get the job. He met people who had gotten their master's degrees from universities in the UK and the United States. All he had was a second-class lower degree from a federal Nigerian University. He stood no chance.

He went in for the interview. A look at his file and his face, the interviewer was quick to ask him questions to know more about him. He was asked who his father was and the young man told his interviewer all about his late father. "That'll be all for your interview session. We'll get back to you," the interviewer told him.

The young man left feeling so sad and disappointed because he was never asked the relevant questions he thought would land him the job. He thought maybe his qualification had disqualified him. Three days later, he got a mail on his phone. 

He opened it and saw that he had been given the job. He couldn't explain it, he wasn't so sure what emotion to express. His six years job hunting journey had come to an end, and he had no idea how that happened. Not only did he get the job, but he also got an official car and an apartment.

He resumed work two weeks later and his employer who had interviewed him called him to his office. "Do you know why you got this job?" he asked the young man. "No sir, I don't know why I got the job," he replied. 

His boss smiled and replied "your father recommended you for this job. He made it possible." The young man was confused and went ahead to remind his employer that his father had died 8 years ago while he was still an undergraduate in the university.

With another smile, his boss went on to narrate how years back, the young man's father had saved his life by paying for his hospital bills when he took ill with acute typhoid which almost cost him his life. He went further to tell him how his father had to borrow to support him with half the money he needed for his school fees that session.

"The moment you told me who your father was, you got the job. You didn't get it by your certificates, but by your late father's good deeds." Those were his employer's words to him. "You got this job because your father's good name recommended you. Congratulations and welcome on board." The young man at this moment had tears flowing freely down his cheeks.

Before leaving his employer's office, he was asked a question. "Thirty years from now, will the mention of your name open doors for your children?"

I was speechless on the bus. I asked the driver to stop the vehicle because I had reached my destination. As I paid him and made way to alight from the bus, the man who had done the storytelling said to me, "sister, live your life well o, so that your name go unlock opportunities for your children tomorrow." I had no reply. 

I'm home right now, typing this. I've asked myself over and over again, "if I leave this world tomorrow, will my name open doors for my children or shut doors against them?" Again, I'm asking myself "will the mention of my name give my children opportunities or deny them opportunities?"

I still do not have an answer.

Maybe you could ask yourself the same question and see if you have an answer.

... What kind of life are you currently living? What deeds are you serving out there? Will the mention of your name be the reason your children get to cry tears of joy tomorrow or the reason they get to regret you had to birth them?
Think about it
