The hardest part of my morning is a young guy telling me that he has liver cancer inside brt🥹I noticed his eyes and thought to engage him maybe I can link him to a foundation or probably pay for a routine drug
Cancer has taken so much from my sister, but it hasn’t taken her hope.
She’s still fighting, still smiling through the hard days, and still believing she can beat this.
Please help us keep her treatment going by sharing her story and donating if you can.

Nothing is too small. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
For the first time in six weeks, I sneezed without pain. I had almost forgotten how that felt. That got me thinking 🤔 🤔 🤔
We are surrounded by things that cost us nothing and hold up everything. Good health, peace of mind, the freedom to move, to speak, to choose... Friends who know you on a bad day and stay anyway. The quiet dignity of owing nobody anything. These are the good things of life we barely acknowledge or value.
As humans, when some things are always present, we stop seeing or acknowledging them. Our attention drifts toward what is absent, what others have that we do not. We build whole identities around our deficits and lie awake calculating what we still need to finally feel like enough.
Then something breaks. A diagnosis. A loss. A phone call you were never prepared for. And in that moment you see, with devastating clarity, what was always there. What you walked past every day without a second thought. What you would trade everything you were chasing just to have back.
Gratitude born from loss is real, but it is also painful. The better education is to learn it before the lesson is forced on you.
This is not a call to silence legitimate grief or pretend life has no hardships. Pain is real, and wanting more for your life is not a character flaw. But there is a particular kind of poverty that has nothing to do with money... the poverty of a person who has much and feels nothing about it. Who is healthy but ungrateful, free but restless, loved but indifferent.
So before the chase resumes, pause over the unremarkable facts of your life. That you woke up. That someone would take your phone call. That your mind, however tired, is yours.
None of this is guaranteed tomorrow. That is the part we keep forgetting.
I hate it when someone dies of cancer, and we start giving medical advice. Stop being insensitive. There is no single CAUSE of Cancer; there are interactions of multiple factors. I've seen fitness junkies develop cancer at an early age, and those with the most unhealthy lifestyles live disease-free until old age. Even though we encourage a healthy lifestyle through health education, let's choose our moments so that our good intentions aren't misconstrued, please🙏
If you have overcome any addiction, especially of a sexual kind , don’t be too quick to go public about it . Don’t make your public pose about that addiction . You are setting yourself up .
As a believer , make it about the gospel .
Where sexual addiction is concerned , you need about 3 full years to fully repair your neural bridges . I mean at least 3years of not indulging in that sexual activity to be fully neurologically free .
When you go public with being free of sexual addiction and make that your slant , you will attract a lot of people who are currently where you were . Their stories will become your temptation ! Before you know it you are always reminded of that past you want to forget .
Never be in a hurry to bring others out of a pit you just came out of before you are able to do so properly, if not , while trying to bring people out , you will be pulled back in !
Give your recovery time !
The Nigerian High Commission in Johannesburg, South Africa heard I was in town for the ‘How Depression Saved My Life’ global book tour and graciously hosted me.
I am always drawn to people who bring light and joy to public and corporate spaces - and she won my heart.❤️
Gabriel scored the first goal:
Peter Drury: "And Jesus heads home from the Cross"
30 minutes later Pep subs Gabriel Jesus and bring in David Silva
Peter Drury: "minutes 30 and it's Silver for Jesus.. whoa! wonderful, A move Judas Iscariot would be proud of"
Is football ever going to replace Peter Drury ?
