DEDICATION

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am forever grateful to God for having been my refuge and fortress in all of my challenges and aspirations.

To the two most important women in my life - my mother, Mrs. Mabel Alegbe, and Mrs. B.K Otubu - I say a big THANK YOU, for raising me properly in becoming the impeccable woman I have become. Without the love, care and discipline you instilled in me, I would probably not be as firm. I am forever indebted!

To my wonderful siblings - Eugene Alegbe, Roy Alegbe, Frances Alegbe, Pastor Bright Alegbe, Micheal Alegbe, Emmanuel Alegbe, Blessing Alegbe Nmbamba, Joy Alegbe Folorunsho; and my cousins, Ozien Alegbe Balogun and Joy Dapo Ojo - I say thank you for all the love shown during my darkest period. To Emmanuel Alegbe especially, I say YOU ROCK! You sure know you are my strongest support and greatest critic. When it concerns Sisto (as you fondly call me), it is always a priority to you. Thank you, once again, my amiable and lovely brother. You are the best!

To my uncle and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Kokumo Alegbe, I say thank you for all the encouragement.

I sincerely appreciate my wonderful friend-turned-sister, Ifeoma Keshi, for your immense contribution in the course of writing this book. You are indeed a woman with a beautiful heart. Well done!

I am also grateful to Debby Ajayi (Author of Conquering Your Fears - Living a Limitless Life) and Beverly Clay (Founder, Speak Out Loud, SOL). Thank you for your encouragement during the work. I am glad our paths crossed.

To Mr. and Mrs. Osadiaye, I say thank you for all the love and advice at all times.

Dr Shola Adeoye, thank you for all your inspiring and uncommon teachings on relationships. Your words are so timely!

To the Senior Pastor of Global Bible Ministries, Hon. (Dr.) Allen McGuire, and the members, I say thank you for all the love thus far.

And to all my great family and friends whose names are too numerous to mention, I say thank you for being a part of the journey... I love you all!

PREFACE

As I journeyed through life, I always knew I had a calm nature/disposition, but what I was not sure of was how fierce I could be when faced with the unexpected. My humble and calm self-most of the time, takes the better part of me and when I display a bit of my firmness, people are amazed.
