The lady Accountant who turned to be Taxii driver

One of the most inspiring story I read today (international women's day)is about this lady..this is what we call "I CAN DO ANYTHING"

This is my friend, Asakpa Aghogho Susan

Susan is a cab driver in Abuja. Yes,  you heard me.  She's a woman cabbie who's breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes. 

An accountant who refused to stay home after graduation,  she went job hunting.  When that didn't work,  she created one for herself.  She discussed her plans with her father and with his help,  got her car and started business. 
"At the end of the month,  I make more than my colleagues in those accounting firms that pay peanuts."

There are times when people turn down her services because she's a woman.  They believe a woman cabbie is a joke.  Some believe she can't drive as well as a man.  
Some men and women often tell Susan to go home or find a "ladylike" job like sewing clothes or selling jewelry. 

But Susan doesn't let that faze her. Each day, she straps on her seatbelt,  shifts the gear stick into drive and accelerates into life. 

I'm celebrating Susan today. 
Happy #InternationalWomensDay,  Amazon. 
Together,  we #PledgeForParity

If you need a careful, punctual,  and efficient cabbie in Abuja,  just call Susan on 08067101502.

But at the end of the year, i was constantly telling myself that i needed to step in 2018 with a changed mind, changed attitude towards everything that has been battling in my mind, changed view of how i see life, changed mind on how i see myself and life generally. I just wanted to take control of my mind, and every situation that i can possibly control and the hardest i leave them to God. Now a new year, does not necessary make everything new, nor does the movement of the clock produce the newness of life , it is the movement in your mind that gives newness to life. Our biggest enemy we have in our lives is 'ourselves', in what we think, in what we have in our minds, and unless we take ...

Maisha class by Dina Marios

Was watching a maisha class by Dina Marios and am really impressed with what she spoke about...we live in a community that not everyone is like the other person, but we are supposed to know who we are and how to behave in the best possible way we can be..no one is perfect but we can try to be the best we can..
