HAVE ONE ON ME!




Deep breath and here goes my first post.

I feel that I communicate better in writing than verbally and that's the motivation for starting this blog. Mental stimulation is so important to me and my hopes for the future are to entertain, thought-provoke and inspire people. Starting this blog will also serve as a learning curve for me as I've never been active on any social media platform.


I'm not IT savvy and cringingly admit that in this 21st Century I've had to engage the help of my daughter to set up this blog for me and after a lot of huffing and puffing from her I've been warned that I'm never to mention her or her sister's name in any of future posts, neither am I to embarrass them in any shape or form. I dutifully agreed to these terms as Beggars Can't Be Choosers! 

My plan is to ensure in the course of writing this blog I wean myself off my technical dependency of those girls. My first single-handed task was to paste the image of those box of chocolates at the top of this post where it is, it would have been easier and faster to have asked the girls to show me how, but my pride would not let me. I persevered, achieved and I applaud myself. 

Feel free to have a choc on me!

So folk here goes, I hope you enjoy this ride with me

I am soooooo jealous. I have dreamt of writing a blog for so long, even bought a book on blogging. I am so proud of you. You are an inspiration. Don't mind those techies you have as daughters, I am in the same boat as you are and the two girls laugh and shake their heads at mind all the time. Love. Tola

Better late than never, still curious though!

MUMMYDUN said...

Thanks for the education. My mama is an Iyalode of her Orthodox church but i never bothered to find out what Iyalode means.

Risi By Name said...

Iyalode is a chieftancy title commonly bestowed on women in Yorubaland. Traditionally, the Iyalode signifies the "queen of ladies" and is given to the most prominent and distinguished lady in or from the town.
