Hello, I’m LeMeir. I’ve been invited to be a part of this amazing group. My articles will be health based as I’m a retired School Nurse, 31 years in all as a Nurse. I had a Stroke from Hypertension when I was 48 that prevented me from returning to work. Do you know What Hypertension is? Do You Know What Your Blood Pressure numbers are? Let’s Start There- Blood Pressure is the force of the Blood in the arteries as the heart beats. The first number (on top) is the Pressure when the heart is working (mid-beat) and the bottom number is when the heart is resting (between beats). Studies recently changed the perimeters again for Blood Pressure, lowering them even more. It was long thought that 150/90 was ‘Normal’ and you were considered ‘in control’ of your Hypertension. But the medical community kept seeing people with strokes, heart attacks and kidney failure at those numbers, especially in People of Color. Slowly the Medical community saw these devastating events as being ...

revolution they say, starts with you!!!     One good turn deserves another they say, but not until the good boy turns God, this becomes the popular lyrics in the mouth of Zimbabweans over the past few months. And of course set the tone for the beginning of a new era, you get no gift for guessing right, Robert Mugabe has to step down. The longest-serving president in the history of the Zims, but you might be forgiven for assuming he is the longest-serving president in Africa no thanks to his 37years grip on power. Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos stepped aside in September after 38 years of rule, and Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo (Equatorial Gunie) 38yrs, Paul Biya (Cameroon) 35yrs, Denis Sassou-Nguesso (Republic of Congo)33yrs --nonconsecutive, are 3 of the current serving African nation rulers with the citizen enjoying mixed fortunes over the years due to poor development and health services, and this is a general issue across Africa. placards displaying ...

you aren't what you are because of what you did, but what you think of yourself This week on my blog, i have decided to start sharing my personal quotes, which i tagged as 'INNER THOUGHTS'. This will go on week after week and we get to rub minds on my favorite phrase of the week. For today my favorite quote of the week is, "you aren't what you are because of what you did, but what you think of yourself "     Many of us are prone to mistakes, i guess that's why we are humans, but the bottom line is that, we have to get use to the fact that we as humans, are mistake-making machine that is bound to make mistakes in other to get it right at times.      Knowing and embracing that might go a long way in making it easy for us to understand our anatomy. For every good, their is a corresponding bad idea, this makes it hard to be able to dissociate among great minds when the cloud hanging over its clarity still looms large.   ...

''As bad as a man can,  he always has a reason,  and no matter how good a guy is,  he always has an option'' A lot of times I have much reason to thank the universal lord of omnipotent power and unending control over we beings. To celebrate my 23rd birthday, I have decided to let loose of some facts about me and take you on a journey of how the boy became a man.     Growing up as a young kid of so many huge potentials as they say to me always, I had to get used to the noise of fame no matter how small it comes, it always comes with an irregular amount of pressure accompanied with responsibility. Was not too helped by my look of matured build while my age speaks different tune, back home its an advantage to mums and you have to just run all the chores because you seem to have the bones. It was tiring at first been the second child of the family, with a senior of gentle and meek stature but commanding attitude, well the tallest trees h...

   BY RAHMAT DAWOOD Life is a constant rollercoaster of vicissitudes.People are born, we grow with people, imbibe the attributes of the people we move with. We start being able to segregate the rice from the chaff, the bad from the good.We fall in love, we fall out love, we fail, we pass, people betray us, we betray people, tensions flare, tempers fly and the sparks of discord and conflict are ignited. The different occurrences that occur in the human life each day couldn't possibly be quantified; occurrences that elicit far-reaching consequences on the psyche of the human mind. AMAZON ADS     In this sea of variables, one thing should be constant in our hearts; the zeal and drive to be better than yesterday. We all know striving to be the best version of ourselves is an innate want we strive for. The question remains, how?How do we start off and achieve this seemingly easy to want, but complex to get ability?     The most impor...
