- geralds game by stephen king creeped me out…

as you can tell.. i had a lot of time on my hands.. i also spent 2 weeks with my friend in Porthacourt and most of what we did was eating, gisting and reading… in no particular order..
You will be seeing a lot of book reviews soon.. that i promise..
Notice how most of the books i completed are authored by women?
This month is international Women’s Month and March 8 is international women’s day. therefore, ill be reviewing only books written by women this month starting tomorrow.
.
March 1st was also world book day and a god friend and I organized an event to mark this with girls in a government secondary school.. It was Lit ya’ll…. You guys should follow me on Instagram to see videos from the event. i cant wait for the professional pictures to get to me..
i love to attend, organize and support events like this not because I am perfect or extremely privileged but education is a passion of mine and I have friends that really want to give back to their communities. My friends own this company called Izorg where all they do is help people organize CSR led events.. isn’t that awesome.. They organized a trip to the cinema during Christmas for children in an orphanage and it was the best thing ever. If you really want to give back but you don’t have the time to plan something, cos of work or other responsibilities reach out and they will help out with all the logistics and all you have to do is show up on that dat do your thing and go home… check them out here..… Another friend of mine runs Get inspired TV where she does something monthly for women.. Join her community here… We organized this together..
.

- Give my all to whatever I decide to do: i found out its easy to do this when i stop multitasking. better to have one good cake than 10 half done cakes. i also learnt that
- Life doesn’t let you do what makes you happy all the time.. But I can always find happiness in what I do.
- Comparism… i am still struggling with comparism but i am getting better now. as i

- Mind what I watch/listen to. Read…
My app of the month is the first 5 app.. available on iOS and android.. it has really improved my spiritual life.. The explanations are realistic and simple and its just fun to read.
