HOW FAR SHOULD WE GO? I've been on a thinking mood lately; the how and when running through my mind like a merry ride. You see I'm  almost on a completion of a phase I've dreamed about for years. The first time I entered a university institution, I was amazed. Everything looks so wonderful to me. I saw people going and coming back from classes. I wanted a part of it. In fact, that moment I thought of asking my dad if I could just write my SSCE exams from year one in senior class.I did and was denied the chance. That didn't still stop me from having thought  of it. When I finished secondary school, I had to wait for two years to get my chance and when I did, I didn't really feel it anymore. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to make it but i had lost the previous drive I had. So it was kind of challenging  for me at first until I had to redefine myself again. This phase is almost over and now I'm bringing myself to the drawing board to write another chapter....

HAPPINESS 101: BE GRATEFUL ALWAYS Remember the hymn that says:"count your blessings name then one by one , count your blessings see what the lord has done, count your blessings name then one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done".  The song is all about being grateful. In our day-to-day hustle of to-do lists and meeting deadlines, most times it is way easy to block out details of our days and we end up forgetting that each day has its own important gifts to be thankful for. You want to live a happy and fulfilled life? Then be grateful for everything you have. Dwell on what you have and be thankful for them. No need to worry over what you don't have. Worry never gives solutions to problems.  Zig Ziglar once said, “gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely that you will have even more to express gratitude for.” Gratitude is one attitude we need to imbibe this new year. From...

What's the very first thing you see in a person's outfit? What's that accessory that can turn any outfit into an "Oh My God" ensemble? Everyone has different things that jump at them from a person's entire outfit. Accessories are very important additions that complement one's outfit, they help create an illusion of depth and texture to any getup. Let's pick two major accessories that can turn your outlook; from that of someone going for a stroll to someone going for a night out to chill or even a business meeting. Shoes!!! This is the most important addition to any outfit. Your footwear steps up your entire outlook or dampens it and makes you less obvious, it could make you move from casual to official in a split second. Just a switch from sneakers to a pair of sandals brings about a massive change in your appearance. If you are anything like me, we just want a beautiful slipper or sandal that can go anywhere and make life easy for us. ...

NEW YEAR INSPIRATION The year is into full swing already Tellrheaders, but for all we have missed so far, I wish you a Happy New Year. There are a lot of things that come with the new year - resolutions, tasks etc. However, one must be inspired to achieve. For inspiration, where do you look? Lets take you back to the 70's, 1976 to be precise. The first movie of the Rocky series was born, produced out of a brilliant manuscripts written by a film actor who was struggling financially and had his backyard problems to solve. The actor and writer of this wonderful piece wrote the first manuscript in under twenty hours, after seeing the boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner. That actor/writer is Sylvester Stallone and today the Rocky franchise ( if I may call it so) is a recognized international movie with great acclaims, enough to earn Stallone a place in the International Boxing Hall of Fame in a non-commissioned for playing the role of Rocky. When Stallone wrote...
