Hello friends how has the week been for you? It's the last weekend of the first month of the year already. 2018 has begun it's flight as well. I hope we make the most of the year a time waits for no one. Today we'll be looking at the attitude of boldness and I'll be telling a story that encapsulates that. Happy reading! Yesterday evening while listening to a preacher online, he made reference to the story of the woman with the issue of blood as recorded in the Bible. Now whether you believe in that or not, there are lifetime lessons there I found that I would like to share. This woman we were told had a health condition that made her bleed continuously for about 12 years. She went to see the doctors in her days and couldn't get any cure. Obviously medicine was still in its crude form back then. One day she heard of a man, a rabbi who had this ability to heal either by speaking to the sick or laying his hands on them. She decided in her heart to go an...

Hello friends! How's the week going for you? Our point of discussion today will be on the harmful effects of bleaching the skin. Enjoy! Bleaching is defined by the Meriam Webster as the process of removing stain or color from something . Dictionary.com also defines it as the process of making whiter or lighter in color by exposure to sunlight or chemicals. So in the context of our write up bleaching is simply the process by which the skin is made lighter in color through the use of chemicals mostly. Bleaching of the skin is an age long practice among human beings either for aesthetic or medical reasons. Bleaching was used in the not too distant past as a medical procedure for helping persons with problems of hyperpigmentation which was as a result of some abnormalities in the process involved in the production of melanin; the pigment that gives the skin it's characteristic colour. Creams and topical preparations containing compounds like HYDROQUINONE were used ...

Hello friends welcome to another new week. How did your weekend go? I hope you took out sometime to rest. If you didn't for whatever reason, start making out time for that. Today on our new week motivation, we shall be traveling down memory lane to look at someone who defied the odds and made it at the end of the day. For mehis story is one of those that have and keep motivating me whenever I feel like giving up. His name is Colonel Harland Sanders. The founder of the KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN empire. This is how his life began; -Lost his dad at age 5. - Quit school at age 16. - Had to care for his younger ones as his mum went off to work. Therefore he learnt how to cook and do house chores. - His mum remarried, step dad didn't want the male children so he had to be sent to work at a farm. - At age 17 he had already lost for jobs. - At age 18 he got married. - Became a railroad conductor between ages 18- 22. - Became a father at 19. - At age 20 his wi...

My journey in the university began with an admission to study medicine and surgery. My name was published on the merit list that makes it to the dailies. A neighbor actually saw it and brought the newspaper home for me to see if it was my name. It turned out it was mine. Everyone was happy for me, proud parents, happy siblings, happy neighbors and a happy me. I got in and we began. First year was spent basically in the sciences where we still took courses in Advanced level physics, biology and the likes. Everything was fine until first semester results came out. I did well in the chemistrys, physics surprisingly was below average and then the bombshell. I failed my biology courses. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought it was a mistake, me that had a B in my O' level biology how come? I tried to complain and see if I could get my scripts but the entire process became frustrating so I gave up trusting to do better in second semester. Second semester came, histo...

During the Christmas season I was invited by a friend to go on an outreach to some orphanages with her. I quickly agreed and prepared towards that. We set out on the eve of Christmas and were able to visit two orphanages. When we got to the first one, we met one of the caregivers holding an infant of say 4-5 months and as we proceeded with the discussions and questions about how they do what they do the story of that little baby came up. She was born to a mother who didn't want her and wanted to kill her by suffocation until a friend of the mum walked in and caught her in the act and stopped her. She then suggested that instead of doing that let them take the baby to an orphanage and that was how she got there.  This and several other stories about how most of the children got there were told and it was a sad and sobering moment for me and the other members of the team we went with. Many thoughts crossed my mind during those visits and I'd like to share a few of t...

Hi everyone! On our new week motivation today I'll just want to encourage you that as you embark on this journey to having a great and profitable year make sure you deliberately choose to be a doer not just a sayer. There will be so many lessons, seminars, conferences, courses you will embark on and lots of things will be taught. The key to being successful is taking those things one at a time and making sure you imbibe them until you see results. This is the spirit that births greatness. Great people are those who do not just get carried away with the euphoria of learning, listening to motivational speeches but those who take the extra step to practice what they have learnt until it becomes results.  So as you journey through the year, make up your mind that you will be an achiever not by just saying but by doing.  Remember what you don't put to use becomes USE-LESS. Have a fruitful week.  Photo credit: hotandcoldaf.devianart.com ...

Happy 2018 folks. We made it into this beautiful year! Did I hear you ask "beautiful? How do you know it's going to be beautiful when it's just the second day?" Oh well I know it will be because the year is just a blank page and your input is what will make it what it will become for you eventually. 2017 may have not been smooth for you, it may have brought you so much pain and heartache and pain, i agree but you don't have to dwell there forever. That year is gone already, never to return so move on too. It doesn't matter how much you were wounded by life's challenges in the past, please don't pass away with the past. Like I always say humorously that it's just another year that's ended not your entire life or destiny there fore it's not over until you say so. This is another year, another new week to begin again. You can rewrite the rest of your life's story from this moment if you're interested. Wishing you all a...

jpm reloaded blog wishes all her esteemed readers and followers a Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.

Hello friends how's been your week so far This week we'll be looking at Nose Bleeding. This is something a lot of us are familiar with, so we'll just throw some more insight into what it is and how to handle it. Things to know about Nose Bleeding. As the name implies, nose bleeding simply means bleeding through the nose. Nose bleeds are common. They maybe scary but rarely indicate a serious medical problem. The nose is abundantly supplied by blood vessels hence its vulnerability to easily bleed. Nose blessing can be categorized based on where it originates and so based on that we have basically two types of nose bleeding. 1. Anterior nose bleed. - Usually originates from the front part of the nose. - The bleeding usually originates from a blood vessel on the nasal septum where a network of blood vessels converge. - They are easy to control either by measures that can be performed at home or by a health care giver. 2. Posterior nose bleed. - Originat...

Hello people. Happy new week. Hope we all had a restful weekend? It's another week again and the year is gradually rolling away. For many the end of a year comes with so much anxiety, feelings of disappointments due to unmet expectations and unrealized goals. We are humans and it's okay to set goals and have expectations but it's also okay to be at peace if those expectations didn't turn out the way we wanted. So many of us have worked so hard during the year, given our best and now that the year is wrapping up, let's do well to celebrate how far we have come. The truth is you may not have attained what you wanted to attain, but you are not where you used to be certainly. You've improved and grown in very remarkable ways that you can't imagine. That your progress was noiseless doesn't mean there wasn't any. Celebrate yourself, celebrate the gift of life you have, celebrate the fact that you were ill and now you're fine, celebrate...

Hello everyone. How has your day been? Today we'll look at something we find very common among us as human beings. Competition is defined by the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary to mean; 1. A situation where people try to be more successful or better than someone else. 2.  An event where people compete with each other to find out the best at something. 3. The people who are competing against someone or whom someone is competing against. Our focus today is majorly on the first and perhaps the third definition. Competition is something that can both be healthy and move people forward or can become a destructive force that can slow down progress. When you see people set great records, do extraordinary things and you pick positive challenges from that and try to do your best as well to create a positive mark then you can be said to be in HEALTHY COMPETITION. On the other hand when people's progress makes you feel insecure, afraid, envious and unhapp...

What is Molar Pregnancy? This is a type of abnormal pregnancy that occurs when tissue that normally should become a fetus after fertilization fails to do so and instead becomes an abnormal growth in the uterus and though it is not a true embryo, it still triggers the symptoms of pregnancy. Incidence: About 1 out of every 1,500 women come down with this. Cause of Molar pregnacy Molar pregnacy is thought to be caused by a problem in the genetic information of the egg or sperm. Types of Molar Pregnancy. 1. Complete Molar Pregnancy: - An egg with no genetic information  fertilized by a sperm. - The product of such fertilization grows into a lump of tissue in the uterine cavity. - As the tissue grows it assumes a 'grape cluster-like' appearance. - It grows till it fills the whole of the uterine cavity. 2. Partial Molar Pregnancy. - An egg is fertilized by two sperms or by a sperm that divides and gives 46 chromosome instead of the normal 23 and the fetus...

  Hi friends, Looking back at the year in retrospect I believe everyone one of us will remember one or two persons they know that has passed on to the other side, by that I mean we know people who died this year. One of the reasons we keep hearing great people tell us to live meaningful lives is because our existence here is only for a while. It doesn't matter how old you become, someday you'll leave this phase of life and will become part of the long history of humanity. The question is how would you like to be remembered? What you like your unborn generation after you say when they hear of what you did while you were here? These are questions we will need to ponder on as we go about our daily activities. And just so we know, it's the day to day choices we make that span out as our life story in the long run. That cheer or pain you caused daily, that employee who's wages you denied or delayed unnecessarily, that person in need whom you could help bu...

Hello people! It's another time to look at our health issues once again. Today we'll be discussing about a common medical condition that affects people from time to time. You know that time when you visit your doctor and he or she looks at you and says "you don't have enough blood"... It's called ANEMIA. So What exactly is Anemia? According to the Oxford Medical Dictionary, anemia is a condition in which there is a reduction in the oxgyen-carrying pigment (hemoglobin) in the blood. WebMd also defines it as a condition in that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin. Mayo Clinic defined anemia as a condition in which you do not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to the body's tissues. Types and Causes of Anemia. 1. Iron-deficiency anemia: - It is the most common type. - It is caused by shortage of iron in the body. - Your bone marrow uses iron as one of the key ingredient...

Hello people! Welcome to another new week. Hope you had a restful weekend? We are here again to stir up our spirits as we go into the week. Yesterday I had a phone conversation with a friend and she told me that Don Moen was at their church and how the service was awesome. She went ahead to narrate how during that service, he began to talk about his life story. He and his wife struggled with infertility issues for good 12 years before eventually going ahead to have 5 children in 8 years after the long wait. Listening to that story sparked some line of thoughts within me which is what I'm going to be sharing with us all this afternoon. 1. Every great man faced CHALLENGES. 2. Every great man persevered through the CHALLENGE. 3. Every great man eventually overcame that CHALLENGE. Check out the stories of great people and this is the pattern you will see in EVERY ONE of their life stories. There is no truly great man who didn't face problems and overcam...

Hello friends, Happy new month y'all. It's December already! Wow! How time flies. I'm so excited! Christmas is by the corner.😁. We give thanks to God for the gift of life. Okay so today we'll be looking at something very common and which also has a profound effect on our lives. It is people's opinion. What is an opinion? The Merriam Webster dictionary defines opinion as; - A belief, judgement,view or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular thing. - It also means a generally held view about a thing. Man by nature is a social being which means he must interact and form relationships with people around him and this is perfectly okay. But we must also understand that there is also a place for our individuality and uniqueness to find expression. Sometimes in the midst of these interactions and relationships we tend to lose that uniqueness that is peculiar to each of us. We pick up the general views of the groups and people we intera...

It's that time of the year again especially for those of us in sub-saharan Africa, when the weather is windy and cold and a lot of people end up coming down with cold, cough and sometimes even mild fever. So today we want to look at this condition, causative agents and how to manage it. Facts about common cold. - It is an upper respiratory tract infection. - It is caused majorly by viruses and not bacteria. - The virus is highly communicable because it can easily spread through air droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. - It has no cure or vaccine. - Use of antibiotics are not necessary for common cold as it is a viral infection except where a bacterial infection like sinusitis develops along side the cold.  Symptoms. - Cough - Sneezing - Sore throat occasionally. - Runny nose. - Low grade fever. Risk Factors. - Weakened immune system. - Weather conditions. - Exposure to infected persons or environments. - Age: especially children below the ...

Hello everyone, It's a new week again and a transitional o e at that. This week marks the end of the 11th month and ushers us into the very last month of the year, yipeee. This means Christmas is around the corner already.😁 So as the week unfolds it's important you realize the power of self talk.  Like what are you telling yourself always? Do you motivate yourself or you just run yourself down with negative words? From research and personal experience I've learnt that no matter how much people outside speak positively about you, if you never say similar things to yourself, your life will follow the direction of the negatives. As you go about your activities this week, say something nice to yourself. Celebrate you, I know you've made mistakes and your life isn't currently how you want it to be but nonetheless still celebrate you. It is a powerful tool for lifting you into your next level of victory. Have a beautiful week ahead.
