WHAT IS OVULATION?

Ovulation is the period where an egg is released from the ovary awaiting fertilization from the sperm.

If the egg is fertilized, it travels down to the uterus and implants there.

If it doesn’t get fertilized, it disintegrates and gets reabsorbed into the body.

The uterine lining is then shed during the next menstrual period.
Ovulation usually happens mid-cycle, so if you have a 28 day cycle, ovulation is on the 14th day.

However, if you have a longer cycle, subtract 14 days from the number.

For example, if you have a 32 day cycle, 32-14 = 18.

Your ovulation date is 18th.
WHAT SIGNS SHOW YOU’RE OVULATING?

1. Cervical mucus

This is the most obvious sign of ovulation.

Your mucus becomes clear, stretchy, and slippery, resembling raw egg whites.

This helps sperm swim more easily toward the egg.
2. Increased basal body temperature

Basal body temperature is the temperature of the body at rest, before any activity is carried out.

Normal body temperature is usually between 35.5 to 36.6 degree C

A slight raise (0.5 - 1 degree Fahrenheit) indicates ovulation.

This can be tracked using a thermometer.
3. Increased libido

There’s a surge in estrogen during ovulation, and it comes with a noticeable increase in sexual desire.

Women feel very sexually stimulated during ovulation.
4. Ovulation pain

This is called mittelschmerz. It’s a mild pain or cramp on one side of the abdomen during ovulation.

Some women feel this pain.
5. Breast tenderness

Some women feel breast tenderness after ovulation.

This is because of an increase in progesterone after the egg has been released.
Other signs include;

- Heightened sense of taste and smell
- Light spotting or bleeding
- Softer and higher cervix

Knowing when you ovulate is very important.

It gives you a sense of control over your body, and helps you get pregnant without hitch.
Other ways of tracking ovulation include;

- The calendar method
- Ovulation kits
- Fertility tracking apps

It’s also good

If you put a little bit of my love in your heart, every tenderness will have a meaning.

Melanoma: Signs, Symptoms, and Causes

Signs and Symptoms

1. Unusual Moles: Melanoma often begins as a change in a mole or a new, unusual growth on the skin. Look for the ABCDEs:
o Asymmetry: One half of the mole doesn't match the other.
o Border: Edges are irregular, ragged, or blurred.
o Color: The mole has various shades of brown, black, or sometimes patches of red, white, or blue.
o Diameter: Larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser).
o Evolving: Changes in size, shape, color, or elevation, or new symptoms like bleeding, itching, or crusting.
2. New Growths: Any new spot on the skin or an existing spot that starts to grow or change significantly.
3. Itching or Tenderness: A mole that becomes itchy, tender, or painful.
4. Bleeding or Oozing: Moles that ooze or bleed without apparent injury.

Causes
1. UV Radiation: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds is a primary risk factor.
2. Genetics: Family history of melanoma increases risk.
3. Skin Type: Fair skin, light hair, and light eyes increase susceptibility due to lower melanin levels.
4. Moles: Having many moles or unusual types of moles (dysplastic nevi) increases risk.
5. Weakened Immune System: Conditions or medications that weaken the immune system.
6. Age: Higher incidence in older adults, though it can occur at any age.
7. Chemical Exposure: Exposure to certain chemicals like arsenic.

Prevention Tips:
• Avoid peak sun hours (10 AM to 4 PM).
• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
• Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses.
• Avoid tanning beds.
• Regular skin checks and dermatologist visits for early detection.


Stay informed and protect your skin!

WHEN THE RIGHT MAN ENTER YOUR LIFE

Dear WOMAN,

The right man doesn’t just enter your life; he transforms it. He becomes the melody to your soul, the rhythm to your heartbeat, and the quiet whisper that tells you, "You’re finally home." When he loves you, it feels like the world slows down, as if every moment was made for the two of you to savor together. He doesn’t just walk beside you—he walks into the depths of your heart, leaving behind a love so profound it feels almost sacred.

He touches every part of your life, from the way he makes your heart race with his presence to the way his words calm your storms. His love deepens your faith, steadies your emotions, inspires your mind, and grounds your soul. He doesn’t just exist in your world; he becomes your world. With him, even the mundane feels magical because his love colors everything brighter.

He stretches you in ways you never thought possible, but not to break you—to help you bloom. His love is the light that shines on the parts of you that you’ve kept hidden, the gentle warmth that coaxes your spirit to rise. He’ll see the pieces of you that feel too fragile to show the world and hold them with tenderness, whispering, "You’re perfect, just as you are."

Your season of singleness is not a void; it’s the soil where the seeds of your deepest desires are being nurtured. It’s the time when God is preparing your heart for the kind of love that doesn’t just sweep you off your feet but keeps you soaring. Every prayer you’ve whispered and every tear you’ve shed is watering the roots of a love story so beautiful it will feel like it was written just for you.

When God sends him, he won’t just love you—he’ll adore you. He’ll treasure your laughter, cherish your tears, and marvel at the way you see the world. With him, love will feel effortless, like breathing. He’ll see the fire in your soul and fan it, not to control it, but to help you shine brighter. He won’t just be a partner; he’ll be your sanctuary, the place where your heart finally feels at peace.

The right man will look at you like you’re the most precious thing he’s ever seen, and in his eyes, you’ll see a reflection of the love you’ve been waiting for. He’ll honor your boundaries, protect your heart, and pour into you in ways that leave you overflowing. His love will be the kind that doesn’t just make you feel safe—it makes you feel limitless.

With him, love won’t just be an emotion—it will be an experience. His presence will feel like the softest embrace, his voice like a melody you never want to stop hearing. Every kiss will feel like the world has paused, every touch a reminder that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Trust the timing. It’s divine. The love you’re waiting for isn’t late; it’s being perfected. When he comes into your life, you’ll understand why it couldn’t have been anyone else. He’ll show you what it means to be truly seen, fully known, and unconditionally loved. With him, you’ll feel like the most beautiful version of yourself because his love will bring out the best in you.

When he arrives, he’ll bring more than love—he’ll bring wonders. He’ll hold your hand not just through the easy moments but through the storms, and with him, every trial will feel lighter because you’ll face them together. His love will be your anchor and your wings, keeping you grounded while helping you soar.

So, dear woman, don’t settle. Wait for the man who sees your worth before you even speak a word. Wait for the one who will cherish your soul, adore your spirit, and love you in ways you’ve only dreamed of. The right man won’t just be your partner—he’ll be your forever. And when he arrives, you’ll know that every second of the wait was worth it, because with him, love will finally feel like coming home.

Chose right. Marry right.

UNDERSTANGING YOUR MAN'S EMOTIONS...

Men don't cry, they get angry instead. The society has taught men that it is unmanly to weep. Boys are ordered to keep quiet at their tender age and bottle their frustrations. It's okay for girls to cry but men, nay! Yet, there is healing power in crying but which man wants to appear like a weakling in public? Only Jesus could do that. "Jesus wept!"

Yet, your man goes through a lot, yes a lot! The society makes men look like statues who must not express any form of emotion except when they want séx yet emotion must be properly expressed if not, it results to anger that is why some men get angry all the time.

Your man gets angry a lot because that is the only way he could express his frustrations which you are refusing to come to terms with or understand.

He goes through pains. He goes through rejection. He has fear. Plenty fears: fear of rejection, fear of losing his job, fear of losing you, fear of losing his authority as the head, fear of not being able to provide for you, etc.

When he goes through financial difficulty and you are expecting him to be tender, he may be angry instead, not at you but at his inability to provide.

Lots of crises happen in so many homes because some women do not understand their husband's anger. Most times, you are not the one he is angry at really, it is the situation, the problem he seems very powerless to solve! If you do not have a large heart, you may take his anger personal, like some women do; abuse, fight, criticize, judge and the man may react by transferring his anger to you.

When your man is angry, relax. Show compassion, talk softly, try to find out what is really bothering him before taking unnecessary actions that may ruin your home.

Have you wondered why some women get pregnant every year and give birth to lots of children despite living in abject poverty? Lack of money equals impotence to a man. It is like castrating him, he seeks more assurance and self worth from his wife through love making -it also helps him ease off lots of tension and frustration. Although, you will do well to plan your family, having more than enough children you can comfortably take care of will further compound your problem!

Your husband may want more sex in challenging times. Making love to you reassures him that he is still needed, wanted, valued, respected and honored. Rejecting him is k1lling his self esteem, it is painful to a man. It is the reason lots of men get angry at their wives for consistently refusing them sèx.

Men needs lots of love, affection, tenderness, understanding, prayers, mercy and compassion too.

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Leadership calls for lots of responsibilities and the responsibility can weigh a man down if he couldn't meet them. He may react by getting angry, not at you but at the situation.

Don't take his anger personal. Show him understanding, love and compassion instead. Married women should give their men lots of séx, reassurance and admiration during this period. He needs you to make love to him and reassure him of his manhood.

Men will do well not to transfer their anger/aggression on their women. It is uncalled for.

Learn to deal with situations maturely. Do not transfer work/business issues to your marriage or relationships, you will mess things up. Deal with each issue separately.

May the Lord give you the wisdom you need to make your marriage work.

Endearment refers to a term, phrase, or expression used to convey affection, fondness, or love towards someone. It's a way to show warmth, closeness, and tenderness in a relationship, often used to address or refer to a loved one. Endearments can be:

1. _Nicknames_: Special names given to someone, like "sweetheart," "honey," or "dear."
2. _Pet names_: Terms used to express affection, such as "muffin," "love," or "darling."
3. _Terms of affection_: Phrases like "my love," "my dear," or "my sweetheart."
4. _Intimate language_: Whispered words or sweet nothings shared between loved ones.

Endearments can vary across cultures, languages, and relationships, but their purpose remains the same: to express love, care, and connection.

Your criticisms of the Church should be done with graciousness, understanding and tenderness of heart, not with aggression and brutality. You are not an "Accuser of the Brethren", are you? There's only one person that accuses the Church before God 24/7 -- Satan. Don't be on his side, thinking you're on God's side!

AGING....
You grow old, they told me, you are no longer you, you become distant, sad and lonely.
I didn't answer...
I don't get old, I get wise.
I stopped being what others like me to become, but what I like to be.
I stopped seeking the acceptance of others and accepted myself.
I have left behind the lying mirrors that deceive mercilessly.
- No, I'm not getting old.
I just become more selective with places, people, customs and ideologies.
I have let go of attachments, unnecessary pain, toxic people, sick souls and rotten hearts... bitterness and unhappiness are not for me, I release them for my health.
I'm ditching party nights for learning and embracing insomnia.
I stopped living stories and started writing them, I threw aside the imposed stereotypes.
I no longer carry eyeshadow in my bag, now I have a book that beautifies my mind.
I exchanged wine glasses for coffee cups, forgot to idealize life and started living it.
- No, I'm not getting old.
I carry freshness in my soul, innocence in my heart, and it discovers me daily.
I have in my hands the tenderness of a cocoon that, when opened, will spread its wings to other places unreachable for those who seek only the frivolity of the material.
I have that charming smile on my face when I observe the simplicity of nature.
I carry in my ears the chirping of the birds that delight me and accompany the walk.
- No, I'm not getting old.
I become selective, betting my time on the intangible, rewriting the story I've been told, rediscovering worlds, saving those old books I've forgotten half open.
I'm becoming more cautious, I've stopped the outbursts that teach me nothing, I'm learning to talk about transcendent things, I'm learning to cultivate knowledge, plant ideals and falsify my destiny.
- No, I'm not getting old.
I begin to live who I really am.~
