It's SteeTime!

Ch enai Hove* (28), mother of one,  was just over 26 weeks pregnant when she went into pre-term labour and delivered a premature baby. Doctors struggled to resuscitate the tiny baby who weighed only 1.2kg. Her baby lived for a day before succumbing. This was Chenai’s second premature baby. The previous one had been a year ago and the early labour occurred at the same time in her pregnancy. It was found that Chenai had an incompetent cervix due to injuries that occurred in her very first pregnancy and would need a cervical stitch to be put in place for subsequent pregnancies. In our society, pregnancy and delivering a baby is the very definition of womanhood.  What happens when that seemingly straight-forward process goes wrong?

Feeling sad is natural, especially after a stressful life situation or when your expectations have not been met. Disappointment is a normal part of life, granted. For example, it is normal to feel down after a major disappointment, or to have trouble sleeping or eating after a difficult relationship break-up. Usually, within a few days, perhaps after talk

Me again. I have had a lot of questions regarding the #300things I posted about previously. 300 things is a vision list of 300 things I was inspired to write. This was after being inspired by one of Steve Harvey's motivational talks. It is a powerful tool which transformed the way I dreamed and changed my perspective on goals and vision-boarding. Already some of my 300 things came to be and I just had to share. But maybe I over-simplified it. The most common question I received from people was: is it really possible to want 300 things? What kind of things? What are your things and which ones came true? The trend is most people were failing to get to 300 things. SO I decided to follow up the last post with this deconstruction to clarify and help complete your list: 1. You can include other people Your list is a list of the future you want. Every little thing. Our loved ones are in our future and their future determines our peace and happiness too. So by all means, you can writ
