Happy New Year and welcome to January. I sound crazy welcoming you to January, considering that today is the 21st of January. Basically, we ended 2016 and I just completely forgot about writing a journal. This is my twelfth journal, meaning that I actually completed one whole year of journaling monthly. Woo Hoo. So how did my December go? Business wise, not much action, but I did successfully make a plan for 2016. I read a quote somewhere that said (I'm paraphrasing) that if your Read More
So far in my life, I have lived in three countries and in three continents (or four continents, depending on where you believe Russia is located). First, I lived in Russia which is located on the bother of Asia and Europe. Some people call it Europe, some call it Asia, and some others just call it Eurasia. I personally could not care less. Then I lived in Nigeria, located in the continent of Africa. Contrary to ignorant belief, Africa is actually not a country. And now, I'm in America, located Read More
Yesssss oooooo! I'm a new age today. 25 to be precise. Of course. Thank You, Jesus! Today is a different birthday though. Every year, I usually put up a birthday wish list, although I do it more for entertainment than anything else. But I didn't even put one up this year. Am I growing up? Or getting old?

Nigerians want to know. I remember a long time ago, I told Igwe that I wanted to sew a traditional male outfit for myself, and he said, "Really?" He thought it was going to be a fun experiment, as did I. Classic Vera, I thought about it and then I never followed up with it because there are always one million other things going on in my head. But 2016 will be different! Anyway, I never forgot it either but the price of sewing traditional outfits here [America] is about $100 [about N26,000], not Read More
Happy New Year, Sweet Potatoes! I cannot believe that we are in 2016! Like, where on earth did all the time go? I started 2015 as a two-person family, and now, we're a three-person family. That's the summary of my year. Do you make New Year resolutions? I don't. I stopped making them years ago because I never keep them anyway. But I do have many things that I plan to do this year that I have never done before. Igwe and I have a lot of things planned for 2016, and I cannot speak for Read More
