'bloated tummy' of transgender man turns out to be baby bump a decade after transitioning from womanhood

10 years after he transitioned from a woman to a man, Kayden Coleman found himself staring at the reflection of the baby bump in the mirror. He said it was totally unexpected. Not only had he told all his friends and family that he was transgender, he had been on testosterone jabs for five years, had grown facial hair and was about to have a double mastectomy. But then nature dropped a bombshell and, despite years of taking male hormones, Kayden became pregnant.

Breathing Exercise that Can Get You Off To Sleep In Just 60 Seconds

View Comments

Getting to sleep can be a proper pain in the arse. When you need it most it evades you, and no amount of imaginary sheep-counting does the trick. In fact, trying to count sheep just turns you against them.
But Andrew Weil, a Harvard-trained medical doctor who focuses on holistic health (basically, he's the sort of guy you want giving you sleeping tips) reckons he has a surefire way of getting off to the land of nod in just 60 seconds. It's all about breathing.

The technique is called the 4-7-8 breathing exercise, or the 'Relaxing Breathe', and its designed to promote good sleep.

FACEBOOK SCAMMERS - #BeWareOfFacebookScammers !!!

A lot of my friends have fallen victims of the so called yahoo and scammers online and I know that you have, or maybe a friend of yours. I, personally have had series of experience on this note. Mine was with series of guys, I would say, who pretended to be ladies. I don't know why I didn't fall for their well-painted benefits but I believe it all balls down to my prior knowledge of these scammers. The prior knowledge, amongst other things, helped me off their list of victims.
I remember receiving a mail from one of these persons on facebook. It reads

"My name is ... I am from...my father died in the...and left me an inheritance which...I am presently in a refugee camp where I am being fed and clothed by ...."

31 DAYS OF POETRY- DAY 24- DEATH IS... - by Chika Jones

Does death come in seasons?
Like the broken needles,
On the tongues of winded dragons?
Like the red of flowers in harmattan,
Or does it come through the hole of scarabs,
When brave young girls venture alone into the forests,
And emerge with painted hands,
I remember the lives of dead ones,
Like a kaleidoscope of ever changing sounds,
The baby's first cry,
The ratata of gunfire,
The thud of falling earth,
Ha!

20 Things Only Highly Creative People Would Understand

I enjoyed this, and I believe you would too...

Creativity

There’s no argument anymore. Neuroscience confirms that highly creative people think and act differently than the average person. Their brains are literally hardwired in a unique way. But that gift can often strain relationships. I’ve seen it firsthand while working with New York Times bestselling authors and Grammy-winning musicians.
If you love a highly creative person, you probably experience moments when it seems like they live in a completely different world than you. Truth is, they do. But trying to change them isn’t nearly as effective as trying to understand them.
It all begins by seeing the world through their lens and remembering these 20 things:

1. They have a mind that never slows down.

The creative mind is a non-stop machine fueled by intense curiosity. There is no pause button and no way to power it down. This can be exhausting at times but it is also the source of some crazy fun activities and conversations. Read on

33 Powerful Ways of Overcoming Fear … Right Now by Fajuyi Tolulope

When I read this, I think about our imagination and our fears. Almost all of us are suffering without a cause. The fear of fear is worse than fear itself. You’ve probably heard it many times, but that’s because it’s true. Overcome your fears now!
Overcoming fear is a skill that anyone can learn.
The problem is that most people cling to their fears, because it’s part of who they are.
If you aren’t ready to start overcoming fear, you probably won’t.
And there’s nothing wrong in that. Everything happens in its own time.
If you’re reading this, I’m pretty sure that you’re ready to take another step forward.
You searched for this information, or you bumped into it, which isn’t just a coincidence.

Etcetera Writes ''Dear Nigerian Women..Why Men Cheat''

When you heard the news that Toke Makinwa’s husband impregnated his girlfriend, you all took to social media to rain insults on Nigerian men. Why men cheat on women they love became a topic for all female radio presenters in the country. Aren’t you all tired of asking the same question over and over as if it is some perplexing unfathomable mystery? 

Your question is rhetorical, but since it keeps coming up again and again, let me provide some explanations to help you understand the reasons. I will simply tell it like it is, with no bull, tact, or political correctness. It’s just that oftentimes; women do not accept the explanations. But in fact, one can understand it through common sense. Sometimes a man would cheat on his wife or girlfriend because he doesn’t love her anymore; he is bored with her, or even possibly unhappy with their relationship.

In such scenarios, even women can

Ibadan

With vast vallies and hills
Upright to ward off ancient attacks
Citadel of pacesetter.

Her streets rallies of rags and pills
Littered grounds, stinking bin tanks
Dirt guilty even scholars.

Flush Out Stubborn Fat With Colon Hydrotherapy

1- The 3 Week Diet
2- The Venus Diet
3- BodyShaping Diet System For Women and Men
4- The E-factor Diet
Flush Out Stubborn Fat With Colon Hydrotherapy
A large number of us are on a continual search for solutions to safe, effective weight loss. In order for us to lose weight and keep it off permanently we need to first understand how fat develops.
“Toxins In, Toxins Out” is a theory that is helping many people begin to understand the correlation between toxins stored in our bodies and obesity.
When our eliminatory systems are bombarded by toxins, which is extremely common in our industrialized world, our body begins to store all the unmanageable toxins in our fat cells. This environment causes the stubborn, unwanted fat deposits that most of us have trouble releasing. When this state of emergency is declared in your body, you will start to store fat regularly to manage the abundance of toxins in your system. The good news is that these toxins can be released quite effectively and painlessly, allowing the body to return to its natural state.”

It is recommended to work with a health care professional to develop a cleansing program that focuses on the use of colon hydrotherapy, a.k.a. colonics, to remove excess debris and toxic waste from your body.

Mommy wants you to get married right?

So Sunday was a great day for me and a whole lot of you too. I enjoyed the service and the after-church meetings. As usual, there are three services of which I recently started attending just the second and third because I needed more time for rest after the week's up-and-down journeying, especially Saturday's hustling and bustling.

I have been away from home for a while now and since this year began, I haven't seen my mom, so yesterday, being the only day I am usually free from every work there is, I wanted to see mommy,  so I left church for a bit and hurried home to see her. As I got off the Okada, Mommy wouldn't stop singing ''baba oyoyo.'' I, on the other hand couldn't stop laughing. She really did miss me. I sat next to her and we got talking about stuffs.
We talked about a lot: how her business has been, how my trip to Benin went, how my siblings are fairing and how the neighbours are treating her and a whole lot of other things mothers would always talk about.

Let's lose some weight...

JOGGING

So I went out today for a jog and found a friend. So it was fun today, unlike it was the other Saturday I was out. We enjoyed jogging. We met friends, obviously, we weren't on the road alone. We had other friends who came out to tear down the obvious wall of fat. By obvious, I mean it in every sense you could think of. I and my friend aren't that fat but we saw a couple of others who got our attention.

You probably have been out for a jog too and couldn't stop asking when you saw that lady or that man, who was out as you. He/She came out to lose some weight.

You couldn't stop asking what they were doing when they turned out this fat.

I saw the lady and I kept asking, as if she was supposed to read my mind and just magically, maybe somehow, she'd hear the question and just answer.

How did you get this fat?

You sit behind a desk from Monday till Friday and you think you are enjoying; maybe because there is an Air conditioner that keeps your body temperature cool and you realize only how fast the time runs. Your breathing becomes heavier and after a little work, you find yourself breathing heavily. You really need to get your body worked on. Hit the road on your foot in case you still at this point do not understand what I meant when I said JOG.

So she came past us and we turned to behold the enormous fat that graced her behind.
I made a vow being that ''no matter what it takes, I was going to inculcate the habit of working-out into my kids and my wife too and I think you too should.

Scientifically, and I believe you know this, it has been proven that exercising the body helps in preventing the body system from hibernating; preventing heart problems and also pulmonary congestion. Jogging has been proven to be the best exercise anyone could have. And it is affordable. Just wake up in the morning and out you go.

Make more mistakes!

Make Mistakes

I often advice teenagers to always try whatever idea that comes to their mind. No matter how hard it appears, they should strive to hit hard at it.

Teenagers are scared to make mistakes and this is one of the problems they face.
Mistakes have been seen by parents as unacceptable and every force there is, has been put into ensuring that those mistakes do not surface in any way. Though, this is adviceable and necessary in trying to inculcate the ''Do it Right'' mentality in the child but this young lads, overtime, have misunderstood the purpose for correction and mistakes. Now children/teenagers are scared of making mistakes and this have driven them into a boring life, where they are scared to make any effort simply because they feel they'd be scolded when they do not get it right. This mentality is the result of the ''do it right'' ideology.

Thomas Edison amongst others would always speak of how necessary it is that once makes mistakes and learn from it. Often you hear people say Rome wasn't built in a day.

Some quotes by Thomas Edison

• Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do in the first place doesn't mean it's useless....
    
• Results? Why, man, I have gotten lots of results! If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward.... Continue Reading

20 Mistakes You Don’t Want To Make In Your 20s

 
So I wanted to read something before going to bed. So I reached for my guardian's phone, turned on the Hotspot and right on the internet I stumbled on an article I found on Elite daily. I took out time to copy parts of the article and would want you to read through and then go on the site to continue reading.

Enjoy!

Your 20s compose undoubtedly the most pivotal time in your life. While there are plenty of temptations and distractions, the decisions you make here are truly what dictate your future, as the weak fail and only the strong survive.
Do you have what it takes to become a monumental success? Or will you live out a life of mediocrity? The choice is up to you. While many think they have all the answers and the keys to success, we have seen those people make the same pitfalls too many times before.
This is the time for you to hustle, scrap and fight for the life that you want for yourself. You manifest your own destiny during these crucial years.
Every move you make is a test. Don’t f*ck it up. These are the 20 Mistakes You Don’t Want To Make In Your 20s.

20. Working for money, not for building your dreams

Never do anything just because it’s convenient for you. Look to challenge yourself and build your own dream instead of building someone else’s. Even if it doesn’t exactly make sense now, create something with great value so you can cash out big.
Always look to the future and never for immediate compensation. What are you going to do with those weekly wages anyways? Stop being so entitled and pretending like you deserve cash, prizes and vacations just yet. You will soon realize once you’ve made it that making money doesn’t make you happy. It’s the journey.
