Woman Crush Sunday: Jasmine Harrison.

    Back in high school, we will always say what a man can do, a woman can do better and that is what this 21-year-old British Jasmine Harrison has done, She has become the youngest female to row across an ocean after completing the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
Ms Harrison, from Thirsk, North Yorkshire, completed the 3000-mile journey in 70 days, three hours and 48 minutes which is indeed a great expression of strength.
 A report has it in a statement" She set off from La Gomera in the Canary Islands on December 12 and arrived on Saturday February 20th into Antigua in the West Indies.
Ms Harrison was moved to compete in the challenge after visiting Antigua and witnessing the finish of the event in 2017.
A total of 21 international entrants  including four-man crews, all-female boats and solo competitors rowed in this edition of the annual Atlantic Challenge, which raises money for charity and Miss Harrison stood out.
Carsten Heron Olsen; the CEO of Atlantic Campaigns, said Ms Harrison had shown "incredible strength and endurance".
    One reason she is our woman crush for today is, Miss Harrison supported charities including Shelterbox, which helps provide emergency shelter to families around the world,  she was inspired to support Shelter after witnessing hurricane damage on an earlier visit to the Caribbean.
    She said"It is the best experience a young person could ever want or have".
Feeling happy about her victory, She said
"I would do it again but at the same time I would rather have other people regardless of age".
    More wins,more trophy Miss Harrison.

Wish I could begin to tell all the tales just on this page as concisely as possible.It will be an uphill task both for me and you too dear reader.However,October was a very busy month for me.Imagine,not having time to pen down anything for you to read?It was just too muddled up.Started with twin bombings in Abuja where I reside and then the loss of a very dear aunt.It was just too emotional for me but you can bet I am back on this blog for good.Lets keep keeping on and most importantly stay saluting the creator and giver of life.Life is a treasure no man should be quick to part with!

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
