Many FB friends have sent DM’s asking questions about me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often smile to myself, \u201cHow much time do you have!?\u201d So, I am doing this post to tell on myself, just a bit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m pretty much what the profile describes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am passionate about my Faith and Covenant with God and I try to view everything from His perspective. This means I am more willing to listen to, and see others\u2019 point of view without judging them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a normal woman (major multi-tasker)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do care (mostly about things of eternal value)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love people (especially the \u2018Isaiah 61:1 bunch’; The less fortunate & \u2018brokenhearted\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a blessed mother of 2 children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I read a lot and journal all the time, out of which came books, so I could say that I am a creative writer (look out for my faith-based books; the next-to-be published before the end of the year)!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I create faith-based courses, and teaching material, and do some shadow-writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did private tutoring for several years up to A-level students (high-schoolers), and;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I presently do some coaching and mentoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been described as a great cook, and love cooking for my family who prefer my cooking to junk food (so thankful for that)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Used to like entertaining (No time now)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not very outgoing, but I’ve been told I am warm and very friendly (truth), but how does that work? \"\ud83e\udd14\"Introverted-extrovert?\"\ud83d\ude01\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often laugh at myself, and still make my children laugh, so I guess I have a good sense of humour.\"\ud83e\udd23\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I try to retain joy in my heart, protect and preserve my peace, and I try to keep things simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am passionate about self-education, and continuous personal development and improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trivia; I chew gum occasionally at home, and try not to outdoors unless I forget to spit it out before I leave the house or car! (Sorry if you don\u2019t like people chewing gum)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My No-No’s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I do not drink alcohol or smoke<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t hate people, and I try not to stay offended (can’t afford it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t curse either [although my children (during teenage years) and people sometimes can drive you mad enough to almost do that]. However, I have tried not to since I met Jesus (or more like Jesus found me) about 33 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t eat as healthy as I would love to (but working on that).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not into any special lifestyle stuff, diets, programmes and regimes and meditations (except on God and the Bible). I am sincerely inspired by those who do and can maintain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still working on that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My strength? According to my children; Resilience and Persistence (cause I’m always on their case)!\"\ud83e\udd23\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My weaknesses? Probably overthinking and over-processing sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MY FAVOURITES:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Favourite Person?-JESUS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favourite Thing to do? – Making people feel special for the \u2018thrill\u2019 of seeing the surprise and joy in their eyes and faces<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favourite Food? – Not even sure! I can cook vegetables to make even children love them! Maybe BBQ then!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favourite answered prayer? A second chance at life. I was given it. That\u2019s how come I\u2019m here now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MY MOSTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most significant discovery?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much more love and forgiveness there is within yourself, when you discover yourself in the context of Covenant with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most Valuable Lesson?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learnt to choose my fights, and guard my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly and of most value to me, which in my opinion eclipses all others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am still alive and healthier than I have ever been in all my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have not been to the Doctor\u2019s, and hardly needed medication in the last 12 years, and therein lies the point of my journey and my story\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So look out for my next post \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
