Friends, today I turn 40, and my heart is filled with gratitude.
Please join me in thanking God for the gift of life, grace, mercy, and every blessing along the journey. Truly, it has all been by the grace of God.
I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, and everyone who has walked with me, prayed for me, supported me, and shared in this journey to this moment.
At 40, I pray for even more strength and grace to do more, love more, serve more, and become more of what God has called me to be.
Thank you for being part of my story. May God bless you all abundantly. 🤩🙏🏽
Charcoal is one of the most neglected products at home. We only see the need when it's time to set fire - to the coal pot users. LOL.
Charcoal is something you must have on you all the time. In Case you never paid much attention, it's time to do it.
Here are the benefits of charcoal you never thought of:

7 Actions That Could Make You a Millionaire If You Do Them
Register a company, even if you don’t have something to do with it at the moment. Most corporate deals go to companies, not individuals.
Invest in learning how to write business plans, so you can get loans, because you don’t necessarily want to invest with your own money. Dangote did not build his refinery with his own money. He borrowed. Borrowing is the lifeblood of business. Understand how to carry out feasibility studies, dollar cost averaging, and other business related tasks.
When profit comes, convert it from money to assets. All monies, whether Dollars, Pounds, Naira, Cedi, or Shillings, are by their very nature designed to lose value over time. It is called inflation. That makes them liabilities. Invest in what rises in value over time. Invest in assets.
When putting your money in assets, have a mixed portfolio of conservative and risky investments. Never put all your profits in risky assets alone.
Banks exist to suck money from people who don’t have business ideas, and give it to those who do. When you don’t know what to do with money, you save it. When you know what to do with money, you borrow from banks to invest in a business. Instead of saving, learn how to invest your money yourself.
Money is never static. It is either growing or shrinking. When you don’t know what to do with your money, inflation will make the decision for you by making your money shrink. Only by investing can you protect your money from inflation. If not, kiss it goodbye,
If you do not know what to do with your money, invest it in the VOO and VFIAX. Both products are some of the safest yet most profitable investments on Earth.

POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST GUIDE.
Facts about this (a doctors guide)...
- A positive pregnancy test is most times a thing of joy for expecting couples.
- Keep the result to yourself and your inner circle(two of you). I'm not being superstitious...or anything.
Open thread...
- Start your antenatal medications.
- You don't need so many medications and supplements. Follow your doctors guide. Never self prescribe!
- If you are placed on progesterone by your doctor, don't stop because another pregnant colleague says she isn't taking.
- Again, keep it to yourself... No one can hide a baby bump. Let the baby bump speak for itself.
If you’re pregnant or have a pregnant family member this thread is for you. It is a very very very long thread so bookmark it and grab a drink.
This Week By Week Guide for you to understand what is happening inside you until the day your bundle of joy is delivered.
Pregnancy is the period between when a woman conceives up till when the products of the conception comes out of her.
The desire of every mother is for her pregnancy to reach the end and produce a healthy baby.
It is thus imperative for you to know what to expect as it concerns your body and the baby in you.
Every pregnancy is unique and you should know that the information provided is a guide that is based on estimates from studies.
Pregnancy is divided into 3 basic time frames medically called trimesters:
• First trimester - week 0 - 12
• Second trimester - week 13 - 27
• Third trimester - week 28 - 42
FIRST TRIMESTER
Week 0 - 4
The first 2 weeks of pregnancy is counted despite the fact that the baby has not yet formed. It is the period during which a woman prepares for getting pregnant.
Week 1 starts from the first day of your last menses. The womb sheds its lining as it does every month but this time something magical will happen.
By the second week, your womb will start getting prepared to house a baby. Ovulation (release of egg) occurs at the end of the second week and this is the beginning of the window for which fertilisation occurs.
Fertilisation occurs in the third week. The "lucky" sperm fertilises your egg and genetic materials are mixed to form your baby.
Your baby's gender is determined by the chromosomes in the father's sperm. So it is the man that decides the baby’s gender not the woman. Men out there that are punishing their wives for “giving them” only one gender, it is your fault if any.
If 2 eggs are released and are fertilized by two separate sperm, fraternal twins (di-zygotic) have been conceived. Fraternal twins can be the same sex or different sex but will not look identical.
If one egg is fertilized and later divides into two, identical twins will develop (or divides into three, identical triplets will develop, etc).
Identical multiples have the same chromosomal make-up so will be the same gender, and have the same hair/eye colour, blood type, etc.
By the fourth week, a pregnancy test will show a positive result 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 or 🥲🥲🥲 depending on whether you want the pregnancy or not.
You may start to feel bloated, crampy, tired, moody, experiencing sore breasts, nausea/vomiting and a frequent need to pee.
However a good number of woman do not show any symptom at all. But if you are carrying twins or more, then your symptoms will be amplified.
The common denominator if you pay attention to your body is that you will notice that your period has been delayed! This is the time you either get happy, anxious or panic
As for your baby this is the period of implantation. Your baby is medically referred to as a blastocyst at this stage.
It will look for a good spot in your womb and take its roots there. It will then form two groups of cells - one group forms the baby and the other group forms the placenta.
Physically, there is nothing yet that will show in a woman's body for her to know that she's pregnant within the first 4 weeks.
It is important to state here that women intending to get pregnant should be on a daily dose of folic acid.
Stop smoking, drinking of alcohol and use of drugs that are not prescribed by your doctor.
Exercise more, eat more fruits and vegetables This is called pre-conception care and it can help reduce the risk of your child having birth defects.
