The Prep to Becoming 2

Last week, Keisha was talking about the path to becoming and it was quite an insightful read. If you have not had the opportunity to do so, it may be better to do so now before continuing with this piece . I have lived a few decades here and am yet to be able to count on one finger individuals whom I have met who have not expressed a desire to get married. This usually is a desire for several reasons- sometimes companionship, status, procreation and financial reasons to mention a few . But I have come to notice that not everyone who expresses this desire is actually bothering with the many little opportunities that present  daily to become a better person and God willing, have  a spouse. The grass of the married life usually looks greener to the single person who might be unaware of the cost of keeping the grass trimmed and attractive .Some     people become married only to discover the shock of the enormous responsibilities that come with becoming a home maker, having to deal

The Prep to ‘Becoming’

When I think about my single days and the guys I met at various times, there are some comments and experiences which stand out in my thoughts.   For example, I remember getting to University and wanting to really experience what it was to be a ‘girlfriend’. While I had hung out with guys and attempted a long-distance relationship (which started while we were apart), I had never really been anyone’s girlfriend in what I thought was the proper sense of the word.   It didn’t take long to get ‘hooked up’ but the process wasn’t quite what I thought it would be.   My boyfriend was dark and very attractive, not a student – so he had his own car and house, and he had experience in life.   I heard a few of his friends warn him that I was ‘A wife’ and not ‘A girlfriend’.   To be honest I took that as an insult as it didn’t make any sense.   I never knew there was a difference between the two apart from the fact that a good girlfriend should become a wife eventually. When the relationship

The side chick

“My dear sisters, With the way guys are doing these days, you gotta ask them: * Are you single single, Mad at her single or Long distance single ? Ask him, * Are you married? * Is Someone married to you? * Are you married without your knowledge (lol)? * Is there someone that you are attached to in a married way? Are you engaged?...Did you propose to someone?...Is there someone hoping to be engaged to you? Are you unsure of the feelings you have for someone? Talk ooo Better ask o!!!” Copied. The above is a post on Facebook   that a friend sent to me this week. It brought   both laughter and memories   to me and I sent it to a group of girlfriends who responded accordingly. I must be very sincere to say I am not sure of any lady I know who cannot relate to the truths of the above piece. Somehow   when a guy is caught in the web of his two-timing or possibly some more,   depending on how he operates, there is always an excuse for it. Many ladies have fel

The Perfect Picture revisited

I have been approached by quite a few people who have said they have enjoyed some articles they have read and also expressed the need for some of the articles to be revisited. We are currently working on a website so we can have a section of those most loved articles. The article below is one of them which I believe is great for us to reread especially as this is the first Friday of the last quarter of the year .Enjoy I recently started a new job and am still in the process of knowing everybody. It is almost two weeks now but I still seem to be meeting new people daily. Just last week ,I met yet another new   colleague and we began chatting. He told me that he is married and his wife and himself were not planning on having children till after her university studies. Like he put it,  then they would have children . I did not want to push the conversation further but it reminded me of the fact that many times we have our lives planned out .When we would finish from the University, ge
