Setting Boundaries

There is a time to say yes and a time to give No as an answer. No matter how kind and loving and very emotional you are, there are times you might need to say No.



So as much as I hate to have my child cry over a request I can grant but there are times I need to be firm and give No as an answer for reasons best known to me.

In the same vein, we should set boundaries and know when to draw the lines when dealing with others, with our relationships, and businesses. It is ok to say No, no one needs to agree with your decision. Don't suppress your needs and emotions because you want to please him or her. Setting boundaries is healthy.


I have learned and practiced setting boundaries and it has helped me a great deal. It has equally helped my finance. Sometimes you might not have an item in your budget for the month, but simply because you can't say No to that friend selling an asoebi (uniform) for her wedding you inconvenience yourself, your finance to please someone else and end up with regrets. It is time to set that boundary.


When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable. We feel used and mistreated.

You don't join the crowd because everyone is doing it. Set boundaries. You should be known for your unique self. This is very important and will bring you so much peace.

Learn to say No and mean No, learn to say yes and mean Yes. Be in control of your life.

Have you ever set boundaries?
How did it make you feel?
Was it helpful?
Did you feel guilty?

Kindly drop your response in the comment session.
I would love to hear from you

Have a Merry Christmas in advance.

My birthday Thanksgiving/ Thanksgiving Jar

 Hello friends, It's been a moment. Today is the 21st of May 2021, how amazing! Yesterday was so special to me, not only because several years ago on the 20th of May my joyful parents received a perfect gift from God but because looking back all I can see is the mighty hands of God. I got very heartwarming messages and I am eternally grateful for it. With our busy schedule taking out time to drop a message for me means I matter, and I truly appreciate you all.

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...
