when my heart, is feeling heavy
when the missing feels so strong.
when my eyes have cried so many tears
and waiting seems so long.

when i lose my way a little
and i stumble here and there.
when my soul runs out of comfort
and my lungs run out of air.

when the memories start to fade
and i just want to make them last.
when i'm asked if i'm still grieving
after all the time that's passed.

i take a walk and clear my head.
i find a peaceful place.
i tell myself that it's okay
and show myself some grace.

i will not rush this grief of mine -
i'll wander slowly through it.
a love so deep is far too blessed
to ever just undo it.

and i will be the one you see
with wildflowers in my hair.
my eyes lost in the willows
and my hands folded in prayer.

i'll be the gentle one who
watches feathers as they fall.
or looks for art in rainbows
and sunlight on my wall.

i'll be the one who talks to birds
and traces lines rain drew
for every glimpse of beauty
is another glimpse of you.

BIG SECRETS IN MARRIAGE!

Secret 1
Everyone you marry has a weakness. Only God does not have a weakness. So if you focus on your spouse's weakness you can't get the best out of his strength.

Secret 2
Everyone has a dark history. No one is an angel. When you get married or you want to get married stop digging into someone's past. What matters most is the present life of your partner. Old things have passed away. Forgive and forget. Focus on the present and the future.

Secret 3
Every marriage has its own challenges. Marriage is not a bed of roses. Every good marriage has gone through its own test of blazing fire. True love proves in times of challenges. Fight for your marriage. Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in times of need. Remember the vow For better for worse. In sickness and in health be there.

Secret 4
Every marriage has different levels of success. Don't compare your marriage with any one else. We can never be equal. Some will be far, some behind. To avoid marriage stresses, be patient, work hard and with time your marriage dreams shall come true.

Secret 5
To get married is declaring war. When you get married you must declare war against enemies of marriage. Some enemies of marriage are:
Ignorance
Prayerlessness
Unforgiveness
Third party influence
Stinginess
Stubbornness
Lack of love
Rudeness
Laziness
Disrespect
Cheating
Be ready to fight to maintain your marriage zone.

Secret 6
There is no perfect marriage. There is no ready made marriage. Marriage is hard work. Volunteer yourself to work daily on it. Marriage is like a car that needs proper maintenance and proper service. If this is not done it will break down somewhere exposing the owner to danger or some unhealthy circumstances. Let us not be careless about our marriages.

Secret 7
God cannot give you a complete person you desire. He gives you the person in the form of raw materials.

AIR PEACE DEBUNKS OSHIOMOLE’S ALLEGATIONS OF EXTORTION

Our attention has been drawn to the deliberate falsehood being peddled by Senator Adams Oshiomole against Air Peace.

The Senator lied blatantly when he accused Air Peace of extorting its passengers. We challenge Senator Oshiomole to bring one evidence of a passenger that was extorted.

None of our staff ever extorted any passenger. In fact, no ticket was sold after the closure of check-in on that flight. Everyone who flew bought their ticket prior to the flight closure.

Again, our flight was never overbooked as some of his videos alleged. In fact, the aircraft took off with over thirty (30) empty seats. It would have been in our interest to carry Oshiomhole and those others who missed their flights for lateness on this flight, instead of flying many empty seats; but we will never sacrifice our strict on-time performance for monetary gains.
It’s absolutely false that he was offered preferential treatment and that he was fighting for others. Senator Oshiomole was not fighting for anyone. He came to the airport late and was told that he was late. He then began to forment trouble. He jumped on the baggage conveyor belt preventing the check-in process of other flights. He also barricaded the entrance gate and prevented access to the terminal. While he was doing all these, he also deliberately instigated other passengers against the Airline.

We call on the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to release the CCTV coverage starting from the time Senator Oshiomole entered the airport, for Nigerians to see. His accusation of extortion is very defamatory. His conduct was very violent, unbecoming, unfortunate and above all, shameful.

1: DATE SOMEONE WHO IS MATURED ENOUGH TO SAY...✍🏾
"Hey babe, this what you have done and I honestly do not like it, I would appreciate if u stop this type of behaviour cause it hurts me". Cool right?... Instead of someone who'd go out of their way acting childish and ignoring you, while venting to social media with posts.

2: If you're matured enough you'll realize that nowadays, its not about dating someone beautiful, handsome or your type but a loving person who really cares about you.

3: You can never build a relationship with a partner who is living to impress friends... Never!!

4: You don't owe anyone a lasting relationship... You owe yourself happiness... If it gets toxic, leave..

5: Relationships don't need cute voices & lovely faces, relationships need beautiful hearts & unbreakable trust. I don't look at faces. My happiness is my priority.

RESPECT THE INVISIBLE

A car ahead was moving like a turtle and not giving me way inspite of my continuous honking!

I was on brink of losing my cool when I noticed the small sticker on the cars rear.

It reads...
"Physically challenged; Please be patient.”

And that changed everything!! I immediately went calm and slowed down!!

In fact I got a little protective of the car and the driver.

I reached work a few minutes late, but it was ok!

And then it struck me. Would I have been patient if there was no sticker!?

Why do we need stickers to be patient with people!?

Will we be more patient and kind with others if people had labels pasted on their foreheads?

Labels like:
~ Lost my job
~ Fighting cancer
~ Going through a bad divorce
~ Suffering Emotional abuse
~ Lost a loved one
~ Feeling worthless
~ Financially messed up
.....and more like these.

Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about.

The least we can do is be patient and kind.

We don't have to put people through the pressures of explaining over times before we understand their pains and offer our little best.

As you go through each passing day always remember there's an invisible label on everyone.

A simple virtue of patience may just be the respect you're according that invisible label. ~ Dr M. A. Chaudhary

PATIENCE is a priceless virtue! we all need to exercise a considerable amount of it. I am never so much in a hurry as to cause unkindness to anyone. A few seconds or minutes will not make that much difference!

Have you been patient with yourself lately? If not, join our wellness retreat beginning June 05, for a worry and stress detox. I'm rooting for you Royal Leader.

Never forget to keep unveiling your uniqueness because it is within you that BLISS is found. I love you

The Day a Parent $lapp€d a Teacher — And the School Asked Him to Apologize” By Uche

I will never forget that day.

It happened in one of the schools I once worked. A male teacher — calm, humble, and highly disciplined — had a mild issue with a student. The boy had mi$behaved, and as expected, the teacher corrected him firmly.

Later that evening, the boy went home and told his mother.

The next morning, the gates of the school hadn’t even opened fully when the mother stormed in like a w0unded lion. She pushed the gate man aside, barged into the school compound, and went straight for the teacher.

She didn’t ask questions.
She didn’t wait to hear his side.
She raised her hand — and $lapped him. Not once. Twice.

Two hot, di$respectful $lap$… delivered by a mother.
To a man.
To a teacher.
In front of students.

I was there. I saw it. I felt it. And till today, I don’t know how that teacher remained calm.

Because if it were me, I don’t think I would have survived that moment with silence. I don’t think my body would have obeyed the command to stand still. But he stood still — not out of weakness, but out of something even deeper: dignity.

You think that’s the worst part? No.

When the case got to the school owner’s office, we expected justice. We expected the teacher to be defended.

Instead, the owner begged the parent — and then turned to the teacher and said:

“Just apologize… let’s end it here.”

Apologize?
Apologize… for being s$lapped?
Apologize… for doing his job?
Apologize… for being a teacher?

That day, I felt something inside me break.
I saw a man stripped of his dignity and asked to clap for it.
I saw a teacher publicly humiliated — not just by a parent, but by the very system that should have protected him.

We are teachers. And we deserve respect.
