WATCH OUT FOR ‘APRIL HAPPINESS/SMILING CHALLENGE’

Hello friends, how was your weekend? Mine was stressful and at the same time exciting. The events in the country these days have led to some personal damages. Almost everybody is angry and therefore cannot even afford to smile. Federal workers and state workers are not left out as they are the major victim of whatever change is said to be going on in the country. Some days ago I came to discover that this unhappy/anger bug has really spread even to some special people who cannot do but smile and infect people around them with their smiles. The smiles suddenly disappeared and what is left on their face is wrinkles maybe from excess thinking, discouragement or anger.

It didn’t occur to me at first that I was also getting infected by this bug until somebody called my attention to it. I just noticed some lively parts of me were no longer active and I was thinking it would pass with time. I no longer smile like I used to. People no longer say ‘Joy, you are so funny. Thanks for making my day’. I also discovered that some habits were leaving me; habits that are really essential for my personal growth and development. I now find what I used to enjoy, boring. And I thought to myself, I’m not the only one in this mess, there are a lot of people out there like me. So what can I do to help myself and others?

After surfing the net for clues for some hours, I stumbled on one of my favourite blogs and I saw this Happiness Challenge. It was really amazing so I decide to do something like that on my blog. So watch out for the ‘APRIL SMILING/HAPPINESS CHALLENGE’ which will be coming up in April on www.cianajoyinspires.com. I tell you, it will be amazing, it will be fun, and I promised that whether you like it or not, if you stick and follow through the whole challenge, you will thank me at the end of the month *winks*.

Note: gifts will be given to the most consistent participants.

Trust me; it will be worth your time and interest.

Great week ahead.

2016 Review: Voke Ogedegbe: 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far

2016 would forever become a memory in a matter of hours. Before it rolls away, I want to talk about my year 2016. I entered 2016 oblivious of the fact it was a new year, this, was, consequence of a terrible breakup I had in the October of the previous year. The tears and pain that came with my broken relationship saw me through the first two months of the year and one morning in the month of March, I woke up, looked into the mirror, told myself I was beautiful and I deserved more! I really think, the old witch in my village had dropped my picture to use another she fancied more than mine to fan her bosom and that's the only reasonable explanation as to how I received sense that morning. For the first few months of 2016, I laughed, sometimes, too hard. This was an attempt to mask my pain, I put up a nice show - I should be an actress, I even deserve an Oscar. I didn't want the world to know my pain, I didn't want them ...

THE MYTH BEHIND MONEY

Money Money Money!!! Everybody just wants to make money. Sometimes I wonder if money has any other importance than to get us our basic needs and wants which are just pleasures and are perishable. The thing is, there is nothing that money gives that cannot be destroyed. So why so many of us have become slaves to money I can’t stop but wonder. Yea, money can give us respect and fame. With it, you will never have to suffer anymore. Some even see it as the means to secure their future and future generations. Yea, we can buy whatever we want with money, we can go places we want with money, we can step on any toes and we can do and undo anything we like. It has even gotten to the extent that some people can be bought over with money and this so called love we shout all about, has also gotten itself entangled in the web of money. So what are we saying? Money is good and without money, life can be frustrating and tormenting. Hmmm! But come to think of it, despite how powerful and i...

2016 Review: Niyi Olu Emmanuel, 2016, The Blessings And Lessons So Far

My life has been a testimony as far back as I can remember. I've been through a lot in this little life I've lived so far. Facebook has been an escape world for me and I find strength in my God as I fought my way through in life. After failed attempts to graduate two (2) years back, (I spilled twice), I was discouraged and depressed, but my Jesus is ever sweet to me, I've had beautiful life in Christ Jesus. To HIM alone be all the glory. Hallelujah! Hmm! Facebook has afforded me the opportunity of meeting friends, beautiful ones at that. Alphagirl Anthony, a tiny voiced, long legged friend of mine, her crazy posts and character made my days most times as I laughed heartily, you're such a darling. Norberts Cindy, she was first my partner in attacking Rita then she became my Bae, she possess a good heart and "shy", (although I don't believe she's shy sha). I cherish you girl, (still waiting for my birthday post from you sha). Ujam Emmanuel is my g...
