Hearing an Igbo man call his lover “Onye Nwem” is one of the most romantic things I’ve come across in a while. Igbo men love deeply,it’s in their nature. Their love is almost like worship. “Onye Nwem” is the kind of name one would use for God, yet they call their women that.
My partner has done so many intentional things for me that I no longer have any “Thank you” left in me to say.
I’ve never felt this much ease in my life since my mum left.
I’m not alone even days I don’t know how to express how i feel.
This man loves me and i feel it.🥹🥹
Often, people ask about the secret to long-lasting, healthy and happy relationships, expecting to hear one “big” thing.
However, the truth is, for many of such relationships, at the end of the day, it’s little things over time that make all the difference.
Little things like:
My son is 2 months old today & here are 5 things I realized;
1. If you’re not mentally ready to have kids, don’t!
2. Forget flat tummy
3. Marry a kind partner
4. Postpartum depression is real
5. The person who invented “slept like a baby” is foolish cos babies don’t sleep walai!
Have you heard about PCOS?
Let me help you understand the Condition:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal imbalance that occurs when a woman's ovaries or adrenal glands produce an excess of male hormones (androgens). Yes, a woman normally has both male and female hormones but the male hormones are kept at a very low level for balance.
But in PCOS, as a result of the imbalance, fluid-filled sacs, known as cysts, develop on the ovaries. These cysts replace healthy ovarian cells, disrupting normal function and often causing a range of health challenges.
Women with PCOS are at a higher risk for issues like infertility, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure (hypertension).
He who created the mind, shall He not know?
Earlier this month, I lay in bed sorely ill, craving pepper soup & missing my mum. Then my friend Ebele called me & asked why I sounded the way I did.
Long story short, next thing I heard was a knock on my door.
I didn’t even say it out but He moved to show He cares. It was giving mindfulness. My ABBA moved to say, “Julie you’re loved, favored & blessed by me.” It’s a subtle reminder that He’s got me. He’s Jireh [My Provider]. He’s El Roi [The One who sees me].
