EVERYONE HAS A REASON TO GIVE THANKS







This is just a little piece about what I’m thankful for.

Sometimes it’s easy for me to think that someone else has more reason to be thankful than i do.
Truth is no matter what circumstances I am going through, the single fact that I am among the living is enough reason to be thankful.

I could live the healthiest lifestyle ever known, go jogging in the morning, eat little or no carbs, do yoga and meditate; still i cannot guarantee that i will live the next minute.

I have learnt that the art of thanksgiving is the most powerful kind of prayer.
When I give thanks for things I have and things I don’t have, I set myself up for greater and better things to come.

I know I cannot remember all you have done for me but please God forgive my forgetfulness.
I thank you cause I know that next time I will remember even more to give thanks for.

Please spare me a few minutes of your busy schedule and listen to my prayer of thanksgiving.

I am grateful for family,

I am grateful that I found love.

I am grateful that I have learnt to trust and commit.

I am grateful that when I walk down the street people still find courage to say you are beautiful.

I am grateful that even though some people feel I am not qualified for my job, they still admit that I do it better than them.

I am grateful for good friends even those who feel they are in competition with me.

I am grateful for education.



I thank you for internet and computers



I am grateful that I am in
good health and can afford to have ice-cream and cake when I want to.
I am grateful for the little pouch of excess fat I noticed on my stomach last week; cause I know that you will give me the energy and drive I need to go to the gym

I am grateful that I was alive to witness the swearing in of the first black president of the USA even though I’m Nigerian.

I am grateful cause my country is getting better and only good leaders will be elected next year.

I am grateful that i can give to those in need even if it’s just Ten naira once in a while. Cause I know you will bless me enough to give on an even larger scale.

I am grateful for inspiration to start my day and motivation to function optimally.

I am grateful for nature and all around me



I am grateful for all those reading this right now cause I know you will bless them for taking time out to visit my blog.

I am grateful for phones


I am grateful for movies especially those with Julia Roberts in them.( I love her)

I am grateful for books especially the Bible and anyone from Paulo Coelho.




I am grateful for music especially by Kirk Franklin and Cece winans.(bless them).



I am grateful for so much more than I can ever bring to account. Remember God this is just the tip of the Iceberg of what you have done for me.

For those of us who do not have a specific date set out as thanksgiving, you can pick out a day yourself.

Make it a memorable day like your birthday, wedding anniversary, or a day you were divinely healed from a stubborn illness or miraculously saved from a life threatening accident.

When you pick out this date, mark it on your calendar and spend time on this day every year giving thanks.

I pray that you will always have a reason to give thanks.

Now to my American friends.




HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!

Where Have All The Gentlemen Gone?

I was inspired to write this post after a recent occurrence that had me and my girlfriends literally bullied off a queue by young men. While I recognize that  Chivalry  is as good as DEAD in this generation, I've met a good share of courteous men in my lifetime. Ladies, have you ever had a man walk through a door ahead of you and lets it slam close behind him RIGHT IN YOUR FACE?  Or a bunch of guys walking beside you for minutes while you obviously struggle with a heavy box or bag you are carrying? I'm sure 90 percent of you will say yes. Don't get me wrong .I'm not saying women are weak and always need help from men. All I'm asking is a little politeness from the male-folk. There's a myth that "Nice Guys don't get the girl". That's ridiculous cause They MARRY the girl. Being Courteous is not only attractive to women, its a great way to show support. The little things matter most to women; ...

EAT MORE TO LOSE WEIGHT? YES! LET ME EXPLAIN. ✨

We've all been there. Tiny salad, still hungry, thinking that's what "being good" looks like. But over-dieting and tiny portions is not the flex. It leaves you tired, snacky, and stuck in a restrict-binge loop. Your body needs more, not less — more of the RIGHT things.I call it the Full Plate Method.It’s a mindset shift. When you over-diet, your body thinks you’re in starvation mode so it increases the hunger hormone Ghrelin. So you get hungrier and snack more. FAIL! It's not about eating less food. It's about eating more of the foods that love your body back. More volume, colour and satisfaction.  Here’s how to build a plate that fills you up AND helps you reach your goals: 1. Half your plate = veggies & fruit Think big, beautiful volume. Roasted broccoli, big leafy greens, cucumbers, peppers, berries, apples. Low calorie density, high fibre, vitamins, and you get to eat A LOT. 2. Quarter plate = slow-burn carbs These are your energy girls. The ones that ...

Stop hating on people

The other day an old classmate found me on facebook and added me. I had lost contact with most of my High school friends and was glad to reconnect. In less than 48 hours he wrote this on my wall "I like you as a person even in secondary sch.(Ojo High) but I just discovered through fb(facebook) that you're so full of yourself. Don't forget that true fame and greatness comes from above". This is someone i haven't spoken to in over 9 years! How do you judge someone so harshly by going through their facebook page for 48hours. I responded to the post and said this "Wow! Good to know. Stanley the Judge. You will be judged in like measure. Thank you so much" I was stunned that anyone would act in such a manner but it made me think and reevaluate my life. I looked back at the years and saw the struggle with my faith, my career and everything; the way i had consciously taken hard decisions that had found favour with God and made my life better. 2011 was a uniqu...
