HERE’S HOW TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND, easily

I had rice for lunch today. Now that really does not sound spectacular, until you realise that I eat rice almost every day at work. My conversation with the young lady who takes our orders before lunchtime goes something like this- ME: What do you have? YOUNG LADY: We have rice, this and this, that and …

WE’RE SET FOR SHENONYMS 2.0

We are right in the middle of planning our yearly young women's purpose and lifestyle conference. These past weeks have been filled with plans, to-do lists, prayers of both faith and despair, and the full spectrum of emotions- from being pumped up to just wanting to disappear into thin air. But look who's made it …

READIN’ LATELY: August

When I judged Barbara Hughes' Disciplines of a Godly Woman at first, I felt it could only be one thing- boring. It belonged to my Mom and had been lying around the house for years. So when she brought the book a few weeks ago and said, “Try and read this book, Ozioma”, I took one …

MY GRANDPARENTS VISITED, AND HERE’S ONE THING I LEARNT

ARGUING WITH YOUR PARTNER? 3(+1) Helpful Tips

"You're such a nice girl, you hardly fall out with anyone" I've probably heard these words (or a variant) more times than I can count on both hands. And I believed them till I read a particular book which described the various ways people reacted in the face of conflict. I'd do a quick summary …

THREE TIPS FOR RECENT GRADUATES

If there ever was something like a graduation anniversary, then it would be a year now I got my bachelors degree. Actually, twelve months after I submitted my project, and ten since I walked up the podium to receive the dean's prize. Almost time to drop the "recent" title and hand over to the graduating …

I FELL IN LOVE & GOT BACK UP

The title should have been "fell properly" because from the time I could spell my name, I've always liked one boy or the other. In fact, I remember having a crush on a cute seat mate in primary 5, and I was only eight then! In my second year in the university, Cupid decided that …
