The Book Of Proverb|Book Review|

It is not many times you pick up a book and it be something you have actually needed.
Tebogo Thekisho also known as ProVerb is not someone who is new to our TV screens. Host of the popular musical TV show Idols, you might see him on your TV every Sunday. What I love most about this book is that ProVerb did not hold back. He also addresses the affair that his ex-wife had and their divorce.
It is amazing to see his evolution from being a rapper to an entrepreneur, this book shows you that life is what you make of it. He starts by describing his upbringing, in which he was raised by two hard-working parents who were well educated. He also talks about his close bond with his grandmother, sister and half-brothers. He also regrets not taking his education seriously and not utlising the opportunities he was given by his parents. He also realises that coming from a home were his parents were seperated pushed him to want a picture perfect family which later turned into turmoil. It is great to read about a man who has strong family relations and respects women. He also shares his suicide attempt and how Idols saved him. I love how recent this book is as ProVerb covers the Covid-19 pandemic,how it affected his life and how important it is to find inner peace. If you are going through a hard time this book is what you need. If you are also into Hip-Hop/rap like I am you might enjoy the small rap verses from his own songs at the beginning of each chapter. I a hundred percent recommend this book. It is a 5/5 for me.

Are you lazy or just burned out?

Good day, my love bugs. In a world that glorifies productivity, resilience, and endless multi-tasking, many women find themselves quietly battling a double-edged sword: executive dysfunction and emotional burnout. These terms can be intimidating, but they are deeply personal and often misunderstood, especially in women with functional depression. What is executive dysfunction? Kendra Kubala from Healthline wrote in her article Understanding Executive Dysfunction and How It Shows Up that executive dysfunction disrupts the brain's ability to plan, focus, remember instructions, and manage multiple tasks. It affects the executive functions of the brain, which are skills that help us get things done. It is not laziness or lack of willpower. It is often linked to mental health conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. For many women, executive dysfunction looks like: Starting tasks but never finishing them. Constantly missing deadlines or appointments Feeling overwhelmed ...

Editor's note: The 11th hour

Good day, my love bugs. In theme with Easter, I will share a scripture that has been with me through it all. “So let us not become afraid of doing good; for if we do not give up the time will come when we will reap the harvest” Galatians 6:9 A year older and hopefully wiser Every year especially in April I become reflective of my life, choices, relationships etc. I also think it is because Easter takes place in April. The only thought that ran through my life this time around is gratitude. I am grateful to be alive on this birthday. I am glad I did not give up and I am glad to have had the courage to try new things more importantly for sticking true to myself. I have to come to love myself even with my imperfections. April of 2025 has been a beautiful month. The 11th hour On a phone call with a friend, I was describing life at this moment to feel like the 11th hour. Everything worked out last minute and everything miraculously came together at the last moment. I graduated recently from...

The Power of an Everything Shower

Good day my love bugs. One surprisingly effective strategy for managing emotional burnout and executive dysfunction is incorporating rituals that offer both structure and sensory relief , like the trending "Everything Shower." This isn’t your quick rinse-and-go kind of shower. It’s a full, intentional self-care experience where you take time to exfoliate, deep-condition your hair, shave, cleanse, and moisturize — essentially doing everything in one extended, uninterrupted session. For women who feel scattered or overstimulated, the Everything Shower can be a grounding ritual that restores a sense of control and calm, even when the rest of life feels chaotic. More than just hygiene, the Everything Shower is about reclaiming your body and time. It provides a rare pause from emotional caregiving and the pressures of constant productivity. The repetition of nurturing steps of scrubbing, rinsing, soothing, becomes meditative and because it has a clear beginning,...
