For more details and review visist authors Website: http://www.ngoziachebe.com/
Ngozi Achebe was raised in Nigeria and also spent time in England, where she was born. Her interest in 15th and 16th century history was the catalyst for writing Onaedo – The Blacksmith’s Daughter which is her debut novel. Her uncle is Chinua Achebe, author, Professor at Brown University, and critic, best known for his book Things Fall Apart (1958), which is the most widely read book in modern African literature. She currently lives in Olympia, Washington with her children Jennifer and Nnamdi and is a practicing physician.

In a brief synopsis of the book from the author’s website, ‘Onaedo – The Blacksmith’s Daughter’ is described as “…a work of fiction and the tale of two women separated by four hundred years of history. Maxine, a modern American woman who is half-white and half-African comes across a set of diaries written by a slave in the 16th century and tries to write a book about it. She uses elements of the discovered diaries in her book and also information she has discovered herself based on ancient stories retold to her by a collaborator.”

As i embark on my own journey to "Be Fit to Be Useful" challenge, here are some tips i gained from their discussions:

1. Reduce stress:  take time out for your self, eliminate negative energy, exercise your mind through reading, less TV
2. Eat healthy: try organic foods, reduce meat, eat lots of vegetable and fruits and lots of WATER!
3. Get Up and Move: join a fitness class, register to a wellness routine as part of your lifestyle
4. Knowledge is Power: Yoga Fitness is not a religion but a form of workout in stretching and breathing exercises.
5. Detox from productivity drainers: clean out inbox, take out one time a week for your self, unplug your phone or other social device, try silence and meditations.
6. Smile and Have Fun: remember you only have one body which is a temple and cannot be replaced (PowerFUL)

Challenge 2011: starting today

decision date: feb 2nd 2011 time: 1.20am
Official start date: TBA in Feb
challenge name: "Be Strong and Be Useful"

"Robin Sharma Here's the "Be Strong to Be Useful" article from my Feb newsletter + a special announcement http://bit.ly/g8KGLv"

Today as i read over Robin Sharma comment above i knew something has to really change in me.I have decided to challenge myself to an ultimate test.

As i write this post my body is constantly tired, weak and full of same intense fever lost count when this started. I have missed appoinments, pending deadlines, missed networking events and a business and loving family to take care of.

Several things have led to this decision this morning: my family: loving hubby, mom, and several friends seem to be genuinely worried about my wellness so its a definite must that i take immediate actions by reduce any  stress with workout and healthy living.

I feel like alot of people my size may relate, am already a slim, athletic built, energetic lady but my body truly needs a good workout to actually operate at 100% level, but my mind is totally ahead of me in this so only the body has been weak for a long time. My mind is ambitious and a real winner so lets DO this!

Ultimate test: Body:
1. Go to doctor this week and complete health screening tests to rule out any unnecessary concerns
2. Create a health schedule: join a fitness class since i dont like gym equipments
3. Enroll in yoga class taught by my personal friend Mitzi Henderson(Namitzi Yoga)
4. Train for cause and finish it: maybe one of those mini marathon or sessions w/JW
3. Hairstyle:  protective hairstyle as this seem to be my biggest hangup with sweating
4. Create a support system:  accountability team <Confirmed >
5. Blog daily with pictures of actual events and record all milestone to use and inspire someone else
6. Eat healthy, Cook and create meals that works for your body, no more junk!
7. Listen to my body and only do what is right for it.
8. Detox: I want to Join Oprah team as they do  "The challenge is on! No meat, no milk, no animal anything"
9. Have Fun: Live.Love.Laugh
10. Hardwork = Success


9Goal: to look and feel great inside and outside for myself and my family and a 100% productive contributor to all things that i do!
You can join me in the challenge if you are reading this? email me or atleast encourage me with your prayers. Lets have fun, find our strengths, voice and enjoy our God given one life to Live!

Sharing T.I Quick Biz Tip


February 1st 2011
T.I.M.E: Teach.Inspire.Mentor.Empower

One of my mentors shared this with me today a quote she found, she says that this maybe the best way for us in the field to explain public relations (PR) vs Marketing vs Advertising, its a bit colorful , one sided from a man's angle but i think it paints the best picture with a little bit of humor!

"On the door of our office, we have a poster which sums up pretty well – albeit in a colourful manner – what public relations is.
“A man takes a girl out for a romantic evening. At the end of it, he tells her that he is the world’s best lover - that’s advertising.
 If he tells her she needs a lover and he’s the best man for the job, that’s marketing.
But if, before he can say a word, she tells him that she’s heard he is a great lover - then that’s public relations.”  by AJ.Durning

You get the general idea, so let me know your thoughts? Feel free to inbox me your business questions or comments on branding or PR, i will give it my best answer.

hope you enjoyed the analysis, fun, but to the point.


I think Modern day PR should now include using a wide range  of customized  package for your specific business fit: branding, social media, new media, media relations, direct marketing and crisis management and many more     ~Tina Ike~
