Headless Thomas

While growing up, my son became very fond of watching animated programmes on TV with 'Thomas & Friends' as his favourite. His dad and I saw how much he loved the characters in the programme and decided to throw him a surprise by getting a Thomas toy for him. The moment he saw it he was over the moon. He played with his Thomas always, he goes out with it and even shares the bed with it, that was how much he loved Thomas.


On one particular day while playing with Thomas, Thomas accidentally lost its head and that was how it became the headless Thomas.
That didn't change a thing because he still played with the headless toy whenever he had the opportunity to. No one thought the head could be fixed and we just left Thomas headless for a long while.


I bought a superglue to fix an earring, suddenly Blessing remembered the headless Thomas and thought it could be fixed. So she eventually applied  the glue to Thomas' neck and bingo! Thomas was whole again. When my son noticed that Thomas had its head again the excitement on his face was indescribable.

This event made my thoughts stray to so many things. A question like 'why did we have to wait this long before fixing it?' popped up. It took just N70 glue to make it perfect again. If I had thrown it away and bought another one. I would have wasted some naira on what could have been easily fixed.


The same goes to our relationships, why wait till the relationship turns sour when you can mend those loop holes in your relationship. Sometimes as little as saying sorry might seem, it can mend a whole lot in a relationship. If saying sorry can fix it now, fix it by saying sorry. Don't wait till a molehill turns into a mountain so you won't start making a mountain out of a molehill.


For the married couples, do you really have to wait till divorce becomes the only option when you could have easily mended your relationships?

GOOD BYE TO 2024 : WELCOME TO THE NEW YEAR 2025!

Greetings, Friends Since I haven't been here in a long time, I know that some of you must have moved on, even though I know that many of you would be speculating about my return. I'm apologizing publicly for being away for so long. To be honest, 2024 was a lot for me; I needed to do more reflection. Let us begin the new year with a heartfelt congrats. I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. We can never get 2024 back, no matter how much we make or lose. It has only been added to a list of the years you have spent on this planet. It's only the second day of the year, but it's already a new year. Here's a little math exercise: We have 363 days remaining if we subtract two days from the 365-day year. This means that we have plenty of time to get our plans for the year off the ground. Watch this space because I will be sharing a lot with you this year. I pray that the new year brings us all good health, joy, peace, love, and unity and that we continue to be acc...

My Uk life Series - The Beginning (Planning)

 Hi Friends, This has been long overdue but I think I am in a good place to begin this series. Travelling has never been something on my list. Even as kids, I would constantly say I loved it in my home country ‘Nigeria’ and wasn’t going anywhere. I never knew God had other plans. I recalled making enquiries about Canada’s Permanent Residency and how you had to take the IELTS as part of the requirement. All of a sudden, I was intrigued and tried it. I also made an effort to persuade my husband to do the same, but he shared my perspective and wasn't thrilled about the prospect of living abroad. In any case, we both completed the IELTS and got started on the procedure, but we gave it up since we had a more important assignment that needed our full focus.   In 2021, we decided to relocate to the United Kingdom. At first, it was difficult because I was only starting to adjust to a new state and environment after resigning my 9 to 5 job, and now I had to relocate once more. I wasn't...

How to cope in a Challenging situation

Hello everyone. I am aware it's been a minute here. I've been saddled with a lot of obligations, and juggling them all has proven challenging. Prioritising has been really difficult, but it's also crucial to strike a balance between work and personal life. I'm aware that having many obligations can sometimes make us feel completely overwhelmed, which is why I'll be sharing a few strategies that have helped me succeed in demanding circumstances.                               Identifying the Challenge Identifying the thing you refer to as the "challenge" is the initial coping strategy.

Is it possible that you are becoming proficient in your current position and require a change of scenery?... Your ability to deal with or handle an issue im...
