-
I found this... and thought to share!





I got flowers today. It wasn't my birthday or any other special day. We had an argument yester night and he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt me. I know he's sorry and didn't mean any of those things he said because he sent me flowers today.I got flowers today. It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day. Last night, he threw me into a wall and started to choke me. It seemed like a nightmare. I couldn't believe it. I woke up this morning with bruises all over but I know he must be sorry cos he sent me flowers today.I got flowers today. It wasn't mothers' day or any other anniversary. Last night he beat me up again, as if it was much worse than the previous ones.....If I leave him, what will I do?How will I take care of the kids?What about money. I was afraid and scared to leave but I know he must be sorry because he sent me flowers today.I got flowers today. Lots of them. Today was very special. It was the day of my funeral. Last night, he finally killed me. He beat me to death. If only I had gathered enough strength and courage to leave him, I wouldn't have gotten flowers today... Today is International Day for the elimination of Violence Against Women.REAL MEN DON'T HIT WOMEN!SAY NO TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.NiMSA SAYS NO!!!#AFOO says #NO to #DomesticViolence#AFOO says #NO to #ViolenceAgainstWomen



This is really deep!
Please people,the time to speak up is now
Stop dying in silence!
Marriage is not by force
Its better to be alive and tell your story than
Have your family tell it after your gone.
Run sisters...run!

Hmmmn where do I start from... Some time last month ..I took up the courage to apply for a teaching course in yoga and got in..hence the silence here! I've had an interest in the practice for quite a while..when the opportunity came up to learn how to teach yoga...I jumped on it I most say it's been 5 weeks of intense ..deep ..and whatever adjective you can think of....work ! I've learnt so much..it may not seem like such a big deal but believe me when I say it's huge! Never knew yoga was that deep..when I took up the course..in my mind it was just a regular work out routine since  fitness is my forte.. It  will be easy (I said to myself) afterall it's all about the physical work but..who sigh!.. It goes beyond that.. there is the mental and emotional as well..relating to ones self... we had to learn and unlearn and learn again..from self discovery to the physical practise ...anatomy and physiology to meditation...awareness and a whole lot more.... ...

Nicole's Journal... Friends Who Marry and Cut You Off Because You Are Single!!!

Okay...so I never understand this thing girls do.. Why is it that when your single friends get married they cut you off cause in their head you are bad luck and it's a taboo to hang around single girls seeing that they have left the single girls club! That's how a friend of mine used me during her wedding planning but the moment the wedding was over  'puff' she was gone with the wind...like I am some sort of plaque! I didn't hear from her again until she needed me for her baby's dedication! (story for another day!) Recently I bought an asoebi from a friend of a mutual friend.. I was practically forced to get it...guess what....I didn't get invited for the wedding! I'm wondering if any one has experienced such before..so they reach out to you to get asoebi but forget to send you an invitation for the D-day Funny yea!? Arrrgh 🤣🤣🤣 I'm going to spare y'all the details..not important!

See Why Tyler Perry Doesn't Like People Singing Happy Birthday To Him

Hey Guys, And here’s why. Every morning that I can remember until I was 41, I woke up to the voice of my mother singing Happy Birthday to me. Be it when I was a kid in my room or when I was older and had moved away, she would call on the phone and sing her heart out. How I miss her voice, off key and all... lol. All of that to say that anytime I hear some individual sing it to me, it reminds me that she's not here anymore. Sure saying it is fine, but the song… well, hearing it sung by one person makes me sad. I don't mind a group singing it so much, but one singular voice haunts me.   Just by natural reflex I woke up this morning, being half asleep, I reached for the phone to see if she had left a message, but then I realized that she died 6 years ago. In the split second that it took me to wake up fully I felt a wave of sadness come over me. Then, I heard her voice in my head saying “Baby, count your blessings. God is good." My tinge of sadness went immediately i...
