Life is a journey leading to a destination that for the most part of our lives we are not sure of. It is a process and God provides destination or destiny helpers.
Give of yourself everyday- a smile, a compliment, a moment of your time, a listening ear or a kind word. There is always something you can give others. Happy new week.
I have now learnt that we need to celebrate life openly and abundantly. Waiting for others to celebrate you when you are long gone is downcast. Thank you guys for celebrating me with amazing bday wishes and love. My heart is full❤️December rocks💃🏽To life🎉

Celebrating life, celebrating milestones, celebrating God’s goodness and testifying to a new season. Officially a mum to a teenager💃🏽💃🏽. My son turned 13 years this month. I am elated, humbled and grateful. Motherhood is one of greastest joys of my life.
One of the best ways to handle difficult conversations is through active listening. Pay attention and acknowledge the person's emotions without judgment. By this, you will be able to view things from their perspective and thus give an empathetic and constructive response.
Many young professionals face Imposter Syndrome, which I myself experienced when I first started my career. It manifests as fear & anxiety in spaces you have earned to be in but you just don’t have the confidence to own it.
Life is like a martial art: You can kick and swing all you want, but excellence is only achieved through patience, discipline, balance, and much practice. Have a fruitful and productive week.

STORY TIME: MY FIRST JOB
My first memorable job experience was in sales. While in my S.6 vacation my elder sister who was working with the monitor publication at that time hooked me up with her friend who had a side hustle of selling ad space for the yellow pages.
Part 2:

I worked my first job for about 5 months before university started. I agreed with my boss to split my pay into two, 30k at the end of the month( which was enough to get me from my home to the taxi park and 50k to support my needs when starting campus.
The world needs to see more women who know how to have a good time without being reckless. Women who know how to look nice without being revealing. Women who know their value without being in a relationship.
As we embark on a new week remember that there is nothing new under the sun. This expression is biblical meaning that nothing changes, only times and seasons. Therefore, if someone thinks they have seen something new, they have only forgotten the past. Blessed week ahead 🙏
One thing I am certain about God is that, He will never take something away from you without the intention of replacing it with something much better. Maybe you are feeling frustrated right now, you may have lost your job, whatever it is, know that He will never leave you empty.
Vacations are always amazing but that time away can slowly slide you off your usual routine. I mean sleep, eating and fun can slowly creep up on you🫣🫣. Happy to have motivated myself enough to get back to it. Legal work is mind, body and soul🥳.
Life is full of uncertainties. Whether in personal decisions, business ventures, or everyday life there will always be a certain degree of risk. Embracing risk is therefore a fundamental part of growth and while we can mitigate risk we can never eliminate it entirely.

“Where your attention goes, your energy flow”Tony Robbins. Simply put if we are to get what we really want in life, we need a clear goal that has a purpose and meaning behind it (SMART). We then move to focus all our energy on that goal and become obsessive about it.

Self-investment: How do you get to a place where you value yourself so much that you can constantly invest in yourself? This could be spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and financially. We only have one life to live, this is it!
You can either do something about a problem or you can't, but either way, worrying won't help. Channel your energy into finding a solution, if one is to be found, or into other things that are within your control.
The last time I was presented with a wedding budget of 280MUGX. I asked the groom if he could atleast afford 10% on his own he bluntly said no.. he was solely depending on contributions😳. Total madness, I nicely declined to contribute😤where have we gone wrong as a society?
My 3 cents
1. Getting a loan to finance a wedding is not responsible borrowing. Having a flashy wedding on borrowed funds is living a lie; you don’t have the money.
2. We need to normalize simple weddings. As the clergy, all we need is the groom, the bride, a representative from

STORY TIME: WHY I CHOSE THE LEGAL PROFESSION.
Once upon a time, at around 13 years of age, I witnessed a kind of family injustice that never left me the same. So close to my heart, I watched helplessly. Little did I know that this experience would never leave me the same.
It's normal to take things personally every now and then. However, if you find that you're regularly feeling upset or offended by other people's comments, it'll begin to impact your own mental health.
Dear Monday, here we are again. Thank you for starting us off well. We are alive and that’s good enough. May we turn all our challenges into opportunities, see the good in people around us, abound in hope and gratitude, and create a positive mental vibe for us to thrive.❤️
Congrats to LDC’s upcoming graduands! Keep believing in yourself and work hard; more achievements are yet to come! To those who didn’t make the cut, take heart, try again! Reflect, dust yourself off and try again. The world is your oyster😊
Very few leaders want to be surrounded by "yes" men. A common problem for these leaders is that having "yes" men around them shields them from the truth when what the leader wants most of all is plain facts - Burton Bigelow

Strong women aren't simply born. We are forged through the challenges of life. With each challenge we grow mentally and emotionally. We move forward with our heads held high and a strength that cannot be denied. A woman who's been through the storm and survived. We are warriors!
And sometimes it is that much needed break that will enable you tap into your Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Community, Emotional (SPICE) being;which results into learning to balance those balls we endlessly try to balance. Blessed weekend💋

Don’t;

2. Connect your purpose to the law you study, it will cease being a job.
