Every woman needs to be a praying woman. I have found solace in seeking first the kingdom of God; it has helped my marriage a lot. I usually post prayer into my future and tell God to please help me out when I get to that bridge, because I know in that stage I maybe too weak to pray. When my husband and I were courting, I had to leave to go abroad to study, and I only came home during the summer breaks, and even then I had to share him with my family and friends.  From the day we became friends, I remember bringing him into my family alter and introducing him to God and from that day, we never ceased praying together every mornings and evenings. We had this book which we wrote our prayer request for us and for our future, I always took it with me abroad and prayed both of our pages long request every Monday for 3 years until my degree was over. I see those prayers working for me in my home; we have so much peace, love, openness, and understanding. I remember praying ever...

Rule 101 of every home should be “tidy as you mess up” just, as my mum always says. As I have gained my independence I have come to understood why momma went on and on about this. Her most popular saying is “I hope my kitchen is sparkling? You can only achieve a spotless kitchen if you tidy as you cook.” When you tidy as you make the mess, it saves you the whole stress of cleaning a whole messy kitchen for about 30 minutes or an hour deepening on how big the mess is. In the kitchen as you make a cuppa, wipe down surfaces, keep back ingredients in the right places, and wash out cup and spoon after you done with your cuppa, no point keeping it on the kitchen counter or in the sink, because it will only keep piled up. (Looking at the piled up mess will discouraged you to clean) Washing up as you cook has also proven to help me also save electricity cost of using my dishwasher, and also giving me a clean house, and kitchen. When I am making dinner, let’s say making a pot of soup, ...

Post myomectomy operation, I will advice that you stick to the doctor’s advice, do all he tells you even if your body feels otherwise. I spent 3 days in the hospital and when I came home, having OCD, I unpacked my bags myself, and put things away. I also took very short walks, from the house to the gate, as the doctor told me to exercise my calf muscles. On my day 2 at home, I made lunch, and also swept my house from kitchen to bathroom, lounge and bedroom, as I was bored, and also because I feel no one can clean to my taste. I did not feel any pain, and I could bend, although I could not stand up right. A week later, I removed the stitches, and then the pay back began. First of all it was so painful taking off the plaster as my pubic hair had grown a bit. (Rub a lot of baby oil on all sides of the plaster before you go to have it removed) when the thread was taken off, it was as if the pain had been released. I could not walk upright again; I was in so much pain, had swellings ...

I was 26 years old when I found out that I had fibroids. I am African American. I have had heavy periods with clots for 3years but when I went to my GP, the nurse dismissed it as anemia and probably my change in diet. In 2012 after uni, I decided to have the contraceptive implant under my arm so I could focus on my education to become a lawyer. Whilst I was in law school, I did not have a period for 6 months, but on the 7 th month I had a very heavy clot so much that it weighed down my knickers, as big as an orange that came out, I was scared and ran to d GP and he thought I was having a miscarriage, and I thought that the contraceptive had failed me. But after a pregnancy test I was not, and then the doctor spoke to me about Fibroids, which I dismissed because all the people I knew that had Myomectomy where in their late or early 40s so I dismissed it. In November 2013 after I was called to the bar (became a solicitor and advocate) I had taken out the implant in October bec...
