I NEVER LOST MY PRAISE !!!

It’s a beautiful morning at my end here. I woke  up with so much excitement. I couldn’t just wait to come down here and share my joy. Today, I’m celebrating one amazing year filled with, so much joy, laughter, happiness, drama plus accomplishments that I never imagined could surface all at the same time. Exactly one year ago, I went through what seemed to be the most humiliating time of my life. It didn’t exactly start this day (29 th March) last year.

Handling and getting over a break-up I started this series by giving a little insight into the things that could cause a break up and possible warning signs one should look out before your relationship hits the wall. I also gave some pieces of advice on how to make it work if you want it to and how to carefully go about it if not. Today, I'll be talking about how to handle and get over a break up . If you've done all you can as a lady to keep your man; you've prayed, changed all the things he complains about, tried to make it work & as a guy, you've put in your very best in making it work but in the end, you still get your heart broken with the news of a break up; then you have to know how to pick up the broken pieces and move on without doing so much damage to yourself and the people around you. Break ups can be so rough and sometimes, they can be amicable; but no matter what, no one really wants to go through them. The loss of a relationship can bring on i
