Yesterday, I got home very tired after the day's work. After having my dinner, I settled in front of my Television with a cup of coffee to keep me warm as I watched a Telenovela Mexican soap. All I could see from the scenes being shown was people falling in out of love. I said to myself, the world is becoming crazy, people fall in and out of love, i began to ask my self questions like, what is going on? you see people get married today, in the next 24 hrs they are already divorced, what is the cause? They fall in love again and they realize they have made a mistake, why?. Based on these questions above, I would love readers or visitors of my blog to their love life experience so that others will learn from their mistakes, learn how to make their love life last longer so that their dead relationship will be back to life. You can write to my email, eunique_4u@yahoo.com. I will post in my blog for others to read.

N/B: Remember sharing your experience could be of great help to others who has lost faith in their own relationship or marriage.

I want to sincerely apologize to all my friends out there, I haven't been writing my posts for some days now, because I have been very busy in the office, am back for now. I hope you didn't miss me too much????? Because I did.

Well, back to the day's business, am writing about " Making the Magic last". I know, so many questions will come to your mind, questions like what is Ejiro talking about? what magic is it? e.t.c, e.t.c. Not too worry, just relax and take a deep breath as you start reading my write up.

The feeling we call being in love “they say is nothing but a chemical response to our genetic predisposition to find a suitable mate so that we can create a good and viable new generation".

Psychiatrist & Sexologists Dr Bernard Levinson says that although falling in love is not all chemistry, but in medical terms, it is referred to illness called "Limerence". Limerence symptoms includes the following: Lack of sleep, poor eating habits, compulsive behavior and a yearning to be with that special person.

Dear readers, the good thing about this sickness is that, it is sweet, it is unique, it is refreshing and what have you. My advice to all readers of my blog, is that, at all times try and share the love, don’t be selfish with your love, tell your spouse or your lover how much you really feel for him or her, extend the love to your kids, members of your family, friends, neighbors.

Give a little love and your will see how the "Magic of love" works, finally, please don't stop the flow of love, keep "MAKING THE MAGIC LAST"

Thank God for another beautiful day. A girlfriend of mine called me up this morning telling me she is in love with a new guy and she has fallen out of love with her fiance. I couldn't understand why she should throw away her relationship of eight years old with her fiance, she said they just stop loving each other, just like that? I asked her she said yes. Well, I wish her the best of luck, but i hope she is not making a mistake, because there is this saying " The devil you know is better than the angel you don't know". I hope her new lover won't disappoint her, because some guys are wolves in sheep clothings. I might be right or i might be wrong, what do you think?

This story is beautiful, try not to cry as you read it.

Read on!!

Sally jumped up, as soon as she saw the the surgeon came out of the operating room. She said, how is my little boy? is he going to be all right?
The surgeon said," I'm sorry, we did all we could but your boy didn't make it"

Sally said, " Why do little children get cancer?
Doesn't God care anymore? Where were you God, when my son needed you?

The surgeon asked her “Would you like some time alone with your son? one of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university."

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said goodbye to her son. She ran her finger lovingly through his thick red curly hair. "Would you like a lock of his hair? the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.

Sally said, “it was jimmy idea to donate his body to the university for study. He said he might help someone else, I said no at first, but Jimmy said," Mum i won't be using it, after I die maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his mum". She went on " My Jimmy had a heart of Gold always wanting to help others if he could. Sally walked out of children Mercy hospital for the last time after six months there.

She put the bag with Jimmy’s belonging on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult , it was even harder to enter the empty house.

She carried Jimmy's belongings and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She started placing his toys and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and hugging his pillow cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when sally awoke. Lying beside her was a folded letter. The letter said;

Dear Mom,

I know you 're going to miss me, but don't think I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just cause I’m not around to say I Love you. I will always love you mum. Right now, he continued, I am in a place where there is no more pain or sorrow or cancer anymore, God is here with me, he gave me this pen to write to you, he said he wants me to stop suffering from cancer that's why he took me away so I won't feel pains anymore.

Mom" the cancer is gone" I am healthy now, so mum be happy for me and stop crying.

I love you mum.

Jimmy.

Sally wiped her tears after reading the letter, and she said Thank you God for taking this pain away from my son.

Sally decided to do talk shows and give inspiration classes to kids suffering from cancer and also to give their parents hope based on her own experience with her son. Till date she carries the lock from Jimmy's hair everywhere she lectures.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhm I hope this story have really touched you,because it has touched me.

Yesterday, I read this piece on a friend blog, I was touched by it, I also decided to post it on my blog, so that as many people that haven't seen it before will get to see it and the message will continue to spread out, remember there is love in sharing, that's why am sharing this with all my friends.

Happy reading.

Lasting marriage is all about intimacy, once it is lost, that marriage would inevitably hit the rocks. More than anything else, this is one thing that should be closely watched and jealously guarded by couples.

When I talk of intimacy, not just of the bed (that is perhaps 40% of the intimacy equation). I am talking of the intimacy of thoughts and actions. I mean the intimate bonds of true friendship.

long after the hoopla of wedding receptions, what makes marriages to go the marathon distance is not the hubby-wife relationships and duties, but the intimate bonds of friendship that runs deeper than public certification of marriage. This is what made me publish this story of deeper marital lessons from my dear friend, Omodesola Ilechukwu (Mrs.) Please, enjoy:

"When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her
hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate
quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

"Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let
her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic
calmly.

"She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me
softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw
away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That
night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she
wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could
hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew.
I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

"With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which
stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my
company.

"She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who
had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt
sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take
back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly.

"Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected
to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce
which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and
clearer now.

"The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing
something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep
and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.

"When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just
did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

"In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't
want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.
She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal
a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a
month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

"This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked
me to recall how I had carried her into our bridal room on our wedding day.

"She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her
out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was
going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her
odd request.

"I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed
loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she
has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

"My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce
intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the
first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is
holding mummy in his arms.

"His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the
sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her
in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son
about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down
outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove
alone to the office.

"On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned
on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that
I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she
was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair
was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I
wondered what I had done to her.

"On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning.
This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

"On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was
growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry
her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made
me stronger.

"She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a
few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my
dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so
thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

"Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness
in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

"Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry
mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an
essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer
and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I
might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms,
walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her
hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly;
it was just like our wedding day.

"But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I
held her in my arms, I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to
school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life
lacked intimacy!.

"I drove to office... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door.
I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...
I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I
do not want the divorce anymore.

"She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do
you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I
said, I won't divorce.

"My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value
the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more.
Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day
I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

"Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then
slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove
away.

"At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers
for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled
and wrote, 'I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart'.

"The small details of your lives are what really matter in a
relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the
bank, blah..blah.. blah. These create an environment conducive for
happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.

"So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things
for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

I had a great weekend, went for a wedding on Saturday. In my local church ten couples were joined in holy matrimony, it was such a beautiful sight, you could see the brides with their flowing wedding gowns, and the men on their suits. I sat down in the reception venue viewing one of the bride, where she was sitting, she just couldn't help smiling at every slight opportunity. When is was time for the couples to cut their wedding cake, you could see the joy and excitements on their faces. Finally the groom was asked to kiss the bride, he did with so much joy and love.

I watched all this events at the reception venue, in the midst of it all, so many questions came to my mind. If weddings could be celebrated in grand style, why do some ends in divorce?

Why do people fall in and out of Love? Why do some couples after marriage begins to get bored with each other and they start fighting? Why is it that, after marriage some couples finds out that they have made a mistake? What happened to the love the couples shared before they got married? I begin to wonder if marriage is bondage? Does it makes life boring? So many questions. But I feel for a marriage to work it depends on both parties to make it work.

The formula they need to apply is allowing the love they felt for each other the very first time they met to keep growing bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger as the day turns into nights, the nights into months and months into years and years into decades. I bet you with such BIG LOVE" the world will be a better place to live in and “Marriage will be sweeter than Honey"

Thank God it is friday;

"Love Don't cost a thing", have you realize that? well as for me, I have come to realize that money can buy you anything but money cannot buy you love, so that means " True Love don't cost a thing.

After work yesterday, on my way home, I went shopping for movie video clips, I happen to come across this movie, I have heard so much about it, but I haven't got the opportunity to watch it, so when I saw it at the shops, I decided to buy it so I can watch it. After watching it, Inoticed it was very inspirational and had lot of lessons to teach, so i decided to blog this piece for my fans who haven't seen this movie clip.

The movie starred Nick Cannon (Alvin) & Christina Millian( Paris). Alvin is a book worm who has spent the last Three years of high school grinding away at his studies and working as a pool boy to earn extra cash. But while Alvin is off the charts academically?socially, he?s a big phat zero. It doesn?t help that Alvin is a bit of a disappointment to his father Clarence, an old school player who longs to re-live his glory days as a ladies man through his impossibly shy son. As he enters his senior year, Alvin is jonesing to kick his nerdy persona to the curb and somehow become cool enough to chill with ultra-popular students like Paris Morgan, the hottest girl in school and queen of the Elites. When Paris accidentally wrecks her mother?s Cadillac Escalade, Alvin seizes the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and engineers a plan to launch him from pariah to player. He presents her with a simple deal: in exchange for Alvin laying down the cash and fixing her mother?s car, Paris will fake a front--pretend to date him--and ensure his entrée into the ranks of the school?s elite. Desperate to get the car fixed before her mother finds out about the accident, Paris reluctantly agrees to Alvin?s plan.
but unfortunately at the end of the deal, Alvin noticed that "Love Don't Cost a Thing" but the best part of it, is that at the end of the movie they both fell in love for real.

This movie is a must watch, to all movies fans out there, it applies to our everyday love life, at times people who are very wealthy feel they can buy love any time, any where, if you belong to that class, wake up to reality, " True love doesn't cost a thing" only fake love do cost a thing". Am I right? or am I wrong? I leave these questions for you to answer with convincing facts..

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

Read this with care again and again.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant .

In a lifetime relationship no one perfect, free of error, we just have to accept and modify it to suit our desire, the most important thing is to be blind in it, don't be clairvoyant

Thank you for being a part of my life,
whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

BRAVO.......... !!! GREAT FRIEND !

For some days now, I have been very busy at work, leaving me no time to write my posts, well, well am fully back. Today am writing on the topic single and still searching. (SSS). “I named it THE THREE S”.”

Are you single and still searching for Mr. Right or Ms Right? I want you to know that there is no Mr. right or Ms right. All you have to do is to find a
person you like, and if you are lucky to fall in love with him, good for you, than after that try to make him suit what you want. Don't ask me how? Because love can help you out. I know some people can be really difficult to change, but with a little pressure, with patience, Love, you can be able to make your ideal man from him.

Talking about single and still searching, there is this story about a young lady. In her early twenties, she had lots of admirers, she thought she was just too good and to polished for any man, she decided to be a medical doctor and she went to the united state to practice. She got her doctorate degree in the States and a very good job, but she kept on changing guys like clothes, thinking she will find Mr. Right who will be perfect in all ways.

She had her list of the qualities of the kind of guy she wants to date, the qualities were;:
1) He must be rich, if possible owns his own Aircraft or private jet
2) He must be handsome, presentable
30 He must be educated and sharp.

Having all this qualities in her mind, she went on and on searching for Mr. Perfect until she got to her mid forties. Before her 40th birthday, she has had series of relationships which she threw away like a pack of cards just because she finds out that the guys aren't Mr. Right.

At forty six, she has never been married, no kids of hers. But she had all the wealth she could think of, but she wasn't a fulfilled woman. In her search for Mr right, she decided to change her location from the states to her home country in Africa, thinking she will get a man that suits her criteria.

When she got back home, the men she met was ready to take advantage of her situation, they saw how desperate she was to get married, for once she dropped those qualities she said she needed in a man, she was ready to marry just anyone, because in a few years time, she will be fifty years, guys weren't ready to settle with such a rich old cow, as they termed her, they only dated her for her money and wasn't ready to get committed.

So unfortunately for her, at 68, she died a frustrated woman, with all her wealth she just couldn't find happiness or buy herself love.

OOOOH What a story. So are you out there, still searching for Mr Right and Ms Right, please wake up, such things only exist in romantic novels and best sellers movies. There is this saying “Make Hay while the sun shines" otherwise it will be too late. So if you have a relationship, try and make it work, stop looking else where for better options, just one little touch from you, your guy or your babe will be just what you need in a man or in a woman.

To all my single sisters and single brothers out there who are “STILL SINGLE N’ SEARCHING” I wish you luck, but be very careful so you won’t make a mistake.

Peace

I BELIEVE; That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

- I believe;
That you should always leave your loved ones with loving words, it might be the last time you see them
That sometimes when I am angry, I have the right
to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel

- I believe
That no matter how good a friend is they are going to hurt you every once in a while.
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

- i believe;
That we don't have to change friends if we
understand that friends change.
That you can keep going long after you think you
can't.

- I believe
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter
how we feel.
That it's taking me a long time to become the person i want to be.

- I believe
That heroes are the people who do what has to be
done when it needs to be done, regardless of the
consequences.
That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a
secret, it could change your life forever.

- I believe,
That maturity has more to do with what type of
experience you’ve had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you
have celebrated.

- I believe;
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you
when you are down, will be the ones to help you
get up.
That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by
others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive
yourself.

- I believe;
That the people you care about most in life are
taking from you too soon.
That money is the lousy way of keeping score.

- I believe;
That because two people argue, it doesn't mean
they don't love each other and just because
they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do
That our background & circumstance may have
influence who we are, but we are responsible for
who we become.

- I believe;
That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something’s totally different.
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best of time.

- I believe;
That no matter how badly your heart is broken
the world doesn’t stop your grief.
That your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who doesn't even know you.

- I believe;
That even when you think you have no more to givr
when a friend cries out to you, you will find the
strength to help.
That credentials on the wall do not make you a
decent human being.

- I believe;
If someone you love breaks your heart, you can
find a replacement.

So, my pals out there, what do you believe? I will appreciate your comments.

I had a very hectic day in the office, trying to find a document; I can't remember where I kept it. Well, that's by the way side. Last night after work, I and my boyfriend went out for a drink to cool off the tension of the day work. Right there at drinking bar, we happen to come across some old friends, so we had a full house. I really had fun; lots of gossip went round our drinking table. I noticed a lady around our table, she was quiet, she wasn’t responding to our jokes and she wasn’t contributing to our discussion, I knew right then, something was eating her up". I decided to cheer her up by directing a joke to her, but she just smiled, and continued to stare into space. Basically, it was obvious that she didn’t want any form of distraction, in front of her, where about four empty bottles of alcohol. I looked at her closely, I noticed she had tears drops in her eyes, I was moved to go and sit next to her, and hear her woes. After much persuasion on my side, she decided to open up to me. Dear readers, her stories will shock you to your bone marrows:

Here is her Story;

My name is Rosaline, am 45 years old, I don’t have a husband, I don’t have any child of my own. Life has been so cruel to me., I wish I wasn’t born. At a very tender age I lost my parents to the cruel hand of death. I grew up living with my father Kinsmen, nobody showed me loved, at thirteen still a virgin, I was raped by some group of boys, after the rape I found out I was pregnant, I couldn’t keep the child, because I couldn’t tell whom the father was amongst the four guys that raped me. So I decided to go for an abortion that almost ruined my life, because I had no money to visit a specialist I went to a quack doctor who was inexperienced, in the process of carrying out the abortion, he damaged my womb, so today I can’t be a mother, because I have no womb.

My father kinsmen got tired of taking care of me, they decided to throw me out of their house, at nineteen, I had no where to go, no profession of any kind, I couldn’t afford to go to school because the funds wasn’t there. I found my way to the city and decided to find a life for myself. The city was worst than the village, everybody wants to take advantage of your situation, instead of helping you out, they end up complicating the whole thing. I managed to get a job as a waitress in a local restaurant. My boss was very hostile, she was in her mid forties then. When I applied for the job, she had to scrutinize me properly before she considered me for the job. I thought she was just being formal in doing that, not knowing she had something "up her Sleeves”.

Madam Franca, that’s my boss name, gave me the job as a waitress in her restaurant. I was happy, thinking that my troubles have ended not knowing it was just the beginning. At my first day at work, my boss called me into her closet and disclose the nature of the job I will be doing. She said, she had male clients that needs to satisfy their lust with women, so what she does, she employs beautiful ladies as waitress, but that isn’t the main job, she said the main job is for her employees to satisfy the men by sleeping with them. When I heard her statement, I was shocked, to know that job involves prostitution, I told her I won't be able to do it, that I would rather work as a mere waitress and earn an honest money than to sell my pride of womanhood for money, she grew annoyed and threw me out into the cold night. I searched for job for another two months without luck so I decided to accept madam Franca’s offer.

My first experience in the job was very awful. I remembered vividly what happened, a very wealthy client of my boss came to our restaurant that he needed a woman for the night. About five of us girls were asked to parade in front of the man. We were almost half naked; we wore skimpy clothes that exposed all our curves. At the end of the parade, the man choose me, I had no choice but to follow him to a hotel that night.

When we got to the hotel room, I was fidgeting, being that I was naïve about the business of prostitution I didn’t know what to do, the man was angry that I was a novice, he beat the hell out of me, and he later raped me. After the ordeal, I put on my clothes and asked for my money, he laughed at me and told me he had already given the money to my boss, I was shocked beyond words, I then realized my boss was using me for her selfish reasons. I felt humiliated and used that day, I walked out of that hotel room with tears in my eyes. From that day, I decided to out smart my boss, I made sure I had more clients and I went into the business full time. Before you know it, I was making it, I had to quit working for madam Franca, I went into full time prostitution and even employ girls to work for me. I was really successful as a prostitute; I traveled all over the world with my clients, I really made a lot of money in the business of prostitution.

To the outside world, I appeared happy, but on the inside of me, I was dying for real love, I hated men with a passion, I slept with them for their money, and nothing else. In the midst of all this, I met a friend, called George, he is divorced with two kids, we are close pals, but there was no emotional ties between us, whenever I needed someone to talk to he is always willing to listen, and gradually our relationship grew into likeness for each other, from likeness to appreciation and from appreciation to love. He encouraged me to quit prostitution and live a normal life, and to crown it all he now proposed to me, I opened up to him and told him about the abortion I had when I was still young and innocent. He was so pathetic, but he insisted he will still marry me. I cried the day he proposed to me, he knelt down and gave me a ring, and he asked the big question? WILL YOU MARRY ME? At this stage I started crying, this time it was tears of joy, I said to myself “as rotten as I am, I finally found love”, at that instant I decided to give up prostitution and start a new life afresh with him by accepting his proposal.

I thought my woes have ended, not knowing fate has another thing installed for me. I and George decided to get married. We were happy about our decision together until one fateful day all our hopes of getting married crashed to the ground. George’s eldest daughter got involved in a fatal accident and was rushed to the hospital, she was immediately taken to the intensive care unit. I and George arrived at the clinic immediately we heard the news. When we got there, the doctors told us that she had lost a lot of blood and they need to get someone to donate blood for her, otherwise she will die, so they took George’s blood, but after testing they found out that she doesn’t have the same blood group with the dad, so I decided to offer mine, when they tested it , they found out that we have the same blood group, so they went ahead to test for HIV Virus(AIDS).

When the results came out, the doctor called us into his room and broke the news to us as gently as he could. I couldn’t believe my ears, that I had AIDS, I was dumbfounded, George too was crying , in the midst of our tears, he promised to stand by me, till my dying days, because he loved me. So Ejiro, this is my story, tell me, what do you have to say to console me, what hope do I have left? I am dying can’t you see that.

Dear readers at this point, when her story ended, I couldn’t find words to say to her, I sobbed with her, for once in my life, I couldn’t get any encouragement word to say to her, I pitied her condition and I promised myself that I will write this story on my blog, so that readers out there can comment on the story and give their words of encouragement for me to pass on to her and not just that, for readers of my blog to know that AIDS IS REAL. SO WATCH IT” DON’T BE A VICTIM.

In life, they are always obstacles to breakthrough. For you to move ahead, you have to be strong during times of trials, whenever you fail, try again, if you fall down, get up, and don’t ever give up.

Read this inspiring piece!!

In the early 19th Century, a young man in London aspired to be a writer. But everything seemed to be against him. He had never been able to attend school more than four years. His father had been thrown in jail because he couldn't pay his debts, and this young man often knew the pangs of hunger. Finally, he got a job pasting labels on bottles in a rat infested warehouse, and he slept at night in a dismal attic room with two other boys gutters nippers from the slums of London. He had so little confidence in his ability to write that he sneaked out and mailed his first manuscript in the dead of the night, so that nobody will laugh at him. Story after story was refused.

Finally, the great day came, when one was accepted. True he wasn't paid for it, but one editor had praised him and given him recognition. He was so thrilled that he wandered aimlessly around the street with tears rolling down his cheeks.

The praise, the recognition that he received through getting one story in print, change his whole life. If it hadn't been for the encouragement, he might have spent his entire life working in rat-infested factories. You may have heard of that boy, his name is Charles Dickens and what a great success he was! he penned the award winning " A TALE OF TWO CITIES" story of the French revolution and OLIVER TWIST.

So dear readers, I hope you have been inspired by this write up, so NEVER QUIT YOUR DESIRES, GOD WILL RAISE HELPERS FOR YOU SOON IF YOU DON'T QUIT.

Hello

This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.

Her last project of the term was called, "Smile." The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.

I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.

As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two! poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling". His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.

He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.

The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.

He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.

I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you."

I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope."

I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope."

We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give. We are not church goers, but we are believers.

That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.

I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.

I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it.

Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?"

I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.

She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.

In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my husband, son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

There is an Angel sent to watch over you.

In order for her to work, you must pass this on to the people you want watched over.

An Angel wrote: Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart. God Gives every bird it's food, but He does not throw it into its nest.

A Box of gold with a secret inside that has never been told. This box is priceless but as I see the treasure inside is precious to me. Today I share this treasure with thee It's the treasure of friendship you've given me.

Send this to everyone you consider a friend!

It is another Monday morning again, waking up this morning to come to work was really difficult, but I had to. There is this saying that "All work and no play, make Jack a dull boy,” but me i have my own saying, which says “ All play and no work, leave bills unpaid for Ejiro". So if you are out there and you believe in the slogan that" ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES YOU DULL" then you'd better have a rethink that " ALL WORK AND NO PLAY, LEAVES UNPAID BILLS FOR YOU.

My weekend was really great, to my pals out there, sorry I haven’t written any latest posts, because I wasn't in the office on Friday, I traveled out of my city to another city to see my family. It was fun being at home again, they were lot of new faces to see around my neighborhood, lot of parties to attend. I went out for a swim on Saturday, I really had a great time, and also a barbecue party was held at the swimming pool side. Well, well, all that is past now, let me not bore you with my enjoyment stories.

Today I will be writing on what I tagged “ FAILURE IS THE WOMB THAT CARRIES SUCCESS!

Charles Conrad flunked out of Haverford- a prestigious private school in Pennsylvania, USA, where he was mocked and laugh at. He was commonly known as the guy who hid in drains, pipes and blew up Bunsen burners in the science laboratory. In 1969, however, as commander of Apollo 12, Charles Conrad became the third astronaut to walk on the moon. What I am trying to say is that, I want you to know that past failures and mistakes are the wombs that birth success, in every failures, lies the seed of success, in every pain, lies the seed of gain. Hear Collin Powell; “ There are no secrets to success, Don’t waste your time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for who you work and persistence.”

Also, Orville Wright was expelled from the 6th Grade for “Mischievous behaviour” you know what? That same Orville Wright went on to invent the world’ first power driven airplane with his brother Wilbur in 1903. Truly, as Anthony D Angelo said,” The only real failure in life is one not learned from”.

Have you written an exam, and you failed?, Have you tried a business and you failed? Have you married before, and the marriage failed?, Are you a drop out from school?, have you had a failed relationship in the past? These are many questions for you to think about. However, if you have every find yourself in any of the above questions, or rather if you have failed in any steps you have taken in life, am writing to encourage you to move ahead, when you fail, refuse to quit, go back and make that failure a success, never, ever quit trying. If you do, then it is worst than the real failure it self. If you have loved someone in the past, and he or she disappointed you, try and love again.

In conclusion, refuse to accept defeat, and remember this slogan, “ Winners don’t Quit, only losers do.” Well as for me, I am a winner, “WHAT ABOUT YOU”
