In 2013 ... My family and I will be staying put. Yup! We're staying in our home, with the ducks (",). In 2013, I am submitting these areas of my life, previously withheld, to the Almighty; My Body (which I abused with food and toxins); My Marriage (which I tried to manage with my limited wisdom); and My Daily Life (which I tried to direct and control on my own terms).

...In my home. But non the less... The journey I started to cleanse and detox my body and life, very quickly brought to lights important areas of my life that need urgent and focused attention. I am doing that now and will resume blogging at a time when I have gained greater clarity, and can share any insights with you. I feel called to proclaim God's work in my life, I desire to be a part of

Spent day 5 and 6 water fasting and extremely sleepy - I am not usually a good sleeper so I guess my body was making up for it. Also the body heals while we sleep, so a lota healing means a lota sleeping! Day 7, 8, and today (Day 9) back on the detox juice and feeling more energetic, but not enough for a marathon or anything (",) I do have to be careful about conserving energy, so for example I

Day 3 - Brilliant! Woke of full of energy and comfortable in my body (no argument between my mind and my stomach), cooked breakfast for household without feeling too tempted. Full of buzz I zipped around cleaning house from top to bottom (it's hard to detox/fast in a messy environment), and still managed to take my son for a walk in the evening. With the way I was feeling at the start (didn't

Day 1 - The most painful start to my cleanse. Not so much being hungry, I could feel my intestines thanking me for the break, but the psychological  (I do not exaggerate) torture of not eating. I realise how little thought I give to eating, I walk into a shop and have to have some chocolates, I see food on telly I get something to nibble, being angry makes me want to eat, being happy makes me

So over many years I have developed a VERY unhealthy relationship with food. I have used it as my comforter, as my counselor, and as my protector. I have hidden myself away behind huge plates of food, hidden my fears, anxieties and insecurities in carbs, salt, fat and sugar. And now in 2013, after spending the last  few years doing spiritual work to uncover the being that God created, I am

THREE DECADES. Wow. Happy 30th Birthday Davinia J and I can believe it too. First of all I want to give thanks to God Almighty who saw fit to allow me see 30 years of life. That is a wonderful gift and I am so grateful for every single day of it. I want to give a big shout out to mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers who have loved ones that did not get to see 30 years in this physical realm,

When my dad passed away, and my broken heart wept, and my spirit dimmed, my god mother, Mrs Folake Apara-Fawunmi, had a promise for me that was realized this Sunday. She promised me that my dad had not left me ... She told me that once I stopped mourning his death in the physical world, I would start to experience and relate with him in the spiritual world. Especially when I need him most. I

Which isn't to say that life isn't good. It's just that deep down life is hard--the kind of hard your parents told you it would be. Beds have to be made. Bills have to be paid. Hard things happen. But we learn to live with these things, most often overcome them, and sometimes even come to appreciate them! And through the hard times, we see that life can be beautiful. The beauty of stones

Today my friends I felt like connecting with you again. It’s been a while! I happily married the partner God sent to me, Mr Sean Ndiho Obedih, last August. We’ve both been very busy settling back into the final year of our BSc degrees in Business Enterprise at the University of Buckingham, working hard at part time jobs, Sean still on his business, and settling into life as a family … when would

So I knew as I turned 26 that God had a year of hard lessons in store for me and I was determined to learn them all, so I would be prepared for His promises when they came. As I turned 26 years old, I had just lost my beloved father, I was struggling to stay in university, I was waiting for the Home Office to grant my Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK (a decade long struggle) and I was in a

Well? Who? ... Really?There is a very small pool of men I could marry from. Since I started running Songhai Creative, I've become even more aware of this.When I was much greener I felt as most youths feel, that 'love' was that butterfly feeling in your stomach that made you lose your good and common sense where this particular individual was concerned.
