The Power Of A Beam



Today is Date night with the absolute love of my life and I am so excited. It's been a while we went out alone what with having two kids and no help, its being mission impossible but this weekend my sister is home from Uni and she looks forward to spending time with the kids.

By 4pm I had completed all my tasks for the day at work and I was packed and ready to go. I was even contemplating going to meet my line manager if I could be allowed to leave 1 hour early 😂😂.
We were going to this restaurant I and hubby had heard so much about from our friends and I wanted to take my time so I could look my best.

Femi one of hubby's friends had gone to celebrate his girlfriends birthday there and he had only good things to say about them. Meanwhile the girlfriend turned fiance that night with a dazzling huge rock on her finger.
Femis' fiance told her sisters about the oh so amazing place where she was proposed to and so they planned a family dinner, needless to say their experience was a hit.
One of my hard to please friends Bukky had also gone there on a date and had nothing but praises for them.

All these good things I had heard made me look forward to tonight's outing. I was looking forward to trying this new place and also spending quality time with my husband outside our home.

As soon as I got home, I took a nice long shower, did my makeup and got dressed. I didn't want to be the reason someone will be pressing his horn from downstairs and tapping his fingers on the steering in impatience. I was taking no chances.



This post isn't a restaurant review. Nahhh.
It's about the excellent service these people practice that has drawn many to them and left their praises on the lips of those that have been there.
From the hostess who met us at the door with a bright and genuine smile on her face, all the servers were so courteous and friendly, with their signature smile. All of these made me feel warm, welcome and important.
I was at ease immediately.
I had such an enjoyable time, I didn't want the night to end.

Before leaving, I needed to use the ladies, I passed by a mini office and heard a staff on the phone taking reservations, I could hear the warmth and smile in his voice as he spoke to whomever was on the other end of the phone.
I was impressed anew by this establishment and the way they treated their customers. It was apparent they were obsessive about great customer service and were determined to go all out. One thing that distinguished their staff was the genuine warmth in their smile. They were all about their customers and it was obvious. Asides from the fine dining, the service was topnotch.

In rendering service of one kind or the other to people, either via telephone or face to face, the power of a smile cannot be over emphasized. It helps build a good first impression of your business, a customer will always prefer to do business with someone who is happy. 
Worthy of note is the number of referrals they keep getting as it was referral that made us go there also.

A smile is contagious and humans tend to copy emotions, so a good attitude on your part can improve your customers as well; this will help a lot in the sales and support process.
What are you going to be doing differently hence forth? Let me know in the comment section. Smile today 😁😁

I Did Not Kill My Mother!!!

'So my children can not kill me' I don't know whose Mum never said this. It's even sweeter when its said in Yoruba. For real though! That's how I felt tonight. This post is a testimony and a recount of the antics of Mr 4. If 'Drive' was a person, it would bear his name. Or even 'Persistence'. Photo credit @pexels.com Some mornings ago, I told the boys if they follow me to the bathroom immediately, I will let them watch something on my phone for a bit. Even though I was still pressing my phone and not ready to get up. This is a tactic that always works and allows me have peace for a bit. Lol. Judge not! We all have days like this. Before long we noticed Mr 4 was no longer in the room, we found him in the bathroom already with his bathing bowl, sponge and soap making a lather and splashing suds everywhere. Fast forward to last night, hubby went out and brought suya along. I don't remember telling this boy anything about bath...

Musings Of A Five Year Old; Let's Rock & Roll Episode 2.

'Amen' 'Amen' 'Amen' My then two year old now five was saying Amen in response to my prayers. But the most surprising thing is, I wasnt praying in actual words. I was speaking in other tongues and we were in the bathroom. So it wasn't like I was alone somewhere in prayer mode. I was shocked to say the least.  PRESENT DAY 'Mum are you praying'?  'Yes I am'  'Can you teach me how to pray like that'? I was taken aback again but I said yes then proceeded to lay my hand on his head and pray for him to receive the power of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues. I am sure you are wondering why I would do that and how did I think a 5 year old will be able to speak in tongues? I don't know how too, but mine is to obey, because the Bible says out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, God has perfected praise. In this journey of intentional parenting, I have learnt to take advantage of the seemingly innocent and care...

ENOUGH!!!

Enough! Of taking from us forcefully Enough! Of trying to silence us Enough! Of trying to make us the victims Enough of turning the tables when we cry out. When we walk the streets at night We have to look over our shoulder When we are in our hotel rooms We have to be wary of intruders When we voice out We are silenced forcefully. Enough of raping us women! Enough of sexist comments! Enough of lecherous lecturers! Enough of wolves in sheep clothing! Enough of shaming the victim. We are tired of being intimidated to silence We are tired of feeling unsafe where we should be safe We are tired of second guessing ourselves We are tired of being misunderstood We are tired of a system that enables you We are tired of being RAPED!!! My thoughts are all over the place and I know I had to express myself in the best way I know how to. My heart is heavy and the pain of what we go through cannot be ignored any longer. I sincerely hope our voices will continue to ...
