So this is my first blog and i am trying to sort myself out after a bout of malaria and typhoid fever all in one week. I was at the American embassy on Monday to commemorate International Women Day and no one noticed that i couldn't relate with people i met there as well as i would have because i was running a fever. The headache was driving me crazy and all i wanted to do that morning was to shut myself in a room with drawn curtains until the pain went away. Somehow i had managed to mask some of the pain in the morning with ibuprofen because i didn't want to miss the event, and i am glad that i made it on time after been spat on by my daughter and opting for an outfit change. I was so happy when i eventually stood at the podium and spoke, i took note of women and girls from the crowd nodding their heads in approval of my words. I had hoped to speak to their hearts and to make them understand that they weren't alone in this journey and life. That others were going through the same too and how important it was to surround themselves with people that would constantly motivate them, encourage them, and constantly remind them that a woman of any age can face reality better than most men older than herself.
Now, that i am feeling much better, i have 2 more days to prep for Fusion Lifestyle sales even though my team did a great job while i walked around the office like a 'zombie' since i refused to take a sick leave....lol...Bounced back and ready to push FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!
That's the spirit dear. We show up and give it our best no matter what. Look forward to learning from you hear.
