Hey people!

Been so long that I feel like an alien being out here🙈The long hiatus is now over. Amen to that!

How have you been? What have you been up to and how have you been coping with everything that has been going on in our country and the world at large?

The past couple of months have been solely focused on my business. I finally got a decent space that is just right for the business and I am so thankful for it.

Setting up was another whole process on its own. It was financially draining and mentally exhausting as well as physically strenuous.

Finally,my house gets to breathe and have space again.
Since 2018,my house has borne the brunt of trying to start over and get new space. I moved most of my stuff from my former business space to my house,a friend’s factory and our pastor’s house .

Let me not even bore you with those details. Let’s just say,I am happy and excited to be where I am now.

Running a business can be one of the most difficult things to do in Nigeria,there are just so many things that make it really difficult. Things like government policies,bank policies,poor infrastructure as well as the rigours of navigating through the murky waters of not just making sales but actually being profitable.

I am an eternal optimist and I am also doing my best to ensure that the business is positioned and set up to not just be profitable but also to grow and become a well known brand so help me God!

Away from business. The kids have been on holidays and it has not been easy keeping them entertained and busy as Mike and I have also been really busy just trying to make ends meet and then September is always a ‘humbling’ month😆 because it is usually the beginning of a new school session and can be quite draining financially, God help us all!

I am just catching up generally on all fronts seeing as I have been away for a bit. Hmmm…Should I even talk about the weight I have put on over the last couple of months or just leave it? I am tempted to just leave it but I have to just talk about it.
I am currently about 5 to 6 kilograms heavier than I was earlier in the year but I am working on it.

I lost it for a bit and was eating like a ‘hoodlum’.
I overfed myself and ate some really unhealthy stuff simply because they were available,biscuits,cake and cheeseballs were the major culprits and then eba as well as fried sweet potatoes.
Fried food generally makes me put on a lot of weight easily.

However,I am now trying to retrace my steps,trying to lose 6 kilograms by changing one habit at a time. The only thing that remained a constant for me is that I still see processed and fizzy drinks as poison and I still cannot bring myself to eat even if slice of white bread. Thank God for small mercies.

I am back and hopefully better as I am learning everyday to put my thoughts out in a clearer and more coherent manner. I thank everyone e that has checked up on me and also encouraged me to get back on here.😊I am back!

Remember,you are all you have got first before anything else. Love yourself and be good to yourself always.
