"This long distance is killing me" *singing like Brandy lol

- 

Long Distance relationships are definitely risky, and if you are unfortunate enough to be far away from your significant other, the prospect of potentially ruining your relationship can seem daunting. Just because long distance relationships are difficult, doesn't mean they're impossible. Simple adjustments to your attitude and lifestyle can help you keep your loved one in your life. Here are a few tips that can help... Trust me.. I know! Talking from experience 

1. Communication, communication!! - I can't stress enough how important communication in a LDR (long distance relationship) well ANY Relationship is, so make sure you keep the lines of communication with your partner open. 

If you have a busy schedule, make time in the morning to text or call each other good morning then at the end of your day, speak to each other about your day and say good night, if you can.. Pray together. 

2. Work around your schedules - One of yo my May be busier than the other so endure that you make time for your partner. Don't make them feel like they're always last on your to-do list and don't slack by failing to communicate like you usually do because this will start to take a toll on your relationship, so warn your partner if you're gonna be busy and  If you have to, schedule a regular time in your diary to communicate when you're free, make it a date with your partner. 

3. Plan visits as often as you can - As much as I hate saying this.. A Relationship can not survive on phone calls, texts and emails alone. You need physical contact with your partner so it won't hurt if you guys plan on seeing each other when you can. This will give you and your partner something to look forward to and strengthen your relationship. When you're together you can do various things such as: 

• Go to your favourite restaurant

• Spend quality time indoors catching up on a few things *wink,wink* 

• Visit new places 

• Introduce each other's friends and family if possible - These are the people that help your partner in your relationship when you aren't around 

4. Get to know each other -! 

you'll have to spend some time really getting to know and understand your partner. When talking to your partner, take note of things they enjoy the most (hobbies, day-to-day activities, etc.), and do a little research on it so you have more to do when you see them next. Knowing each other's preferences will also help when you want to exchange gifts.

• For example: If your partner likes to dance, find the location of different clubs where you will see them next. If you don't know how to dance, take lessons and you will impress them by your willingness to make an effort on their behalf
• 
  
• 5. Create trust. Just as with traditional relationships, trust is incredibly important. Avoid temptations. Try your best to be faithful, lest you destroy the trust on which your relationship relies. Avoid putting yourself in situations where you would be tempted, and let your partner know that there's nothing to worry about. *Don't be too anxious or jealous if you don't always know what they are doing. A little space is harmless and will definitely keep things to make sure you are both clear on the nature of the relationship
•  6. Understand what you have - Naming your relationship (dating, seeing each other, boyfriend-girlfriend, engaged) as well as defining exclusivity (limited to one person) can be difficult and awkward questions to ask, but will save you great heartache and misunderstanding down the line. Stating your end goals and expectations will allow you both to work together to build the relationship you want.
• Example: "Are you open to relocating if the relationship becomes more serious?" or "What are you looking to get out of this relationship?"
• 7. Talk about your future together- Assuming that ultimately you'd want to live together, discussing how you're going to get to that point will help you prove to each other that the relationship is going somewhere and that your efforts and frustrations are not in vain.
• • Figure out who is moving so that you can be together. Will you both move, or just one? Think ahead to a career for the partner who is moving.
  • Decide on a reasonable target time for the move. What must first be finished before you can start your new lives together? Do either of you need to end a lease, sell a home, quit a job, or give notice to housemates in order to move?
  8. 
  Talk through doubts, uncertainty, and fear together. Explore the scary and difficult subjects along with the good. Talk is your best way to keep together across the distance. Use it to explore your feelings together honestly. 

I have more but can't think right now so hope that helps

WHO aims for Ebola serum in weeks and vaccine tests in Africa by January

The World Health Organisation has announced it hopes to begin testing two experimental Ebola vaccines in west Africa by January and may have a blood serum treatment available for use in Liberia within two weeks.

The UN’s health agency said it aimed to begin testing the two vaccines in the new year on more than 20,000 frontline health care workers and others in west Africa – a bigger rollout than previously envisioned.

Separately, a senior Red Cross official said he was confident the epidemic could be contained within four to six months.

Elhadj As Sy, the secretary general of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, told reporters in Beijing on Wednesday that the outbreak could be contained if there was “good isolation, good treatment of the cases which are confirmed, good dignified and safe burials of deceased people.”

Dr Marie Paule Kieny, an assistant director general at the WHO, said the first tens of thousands of Ebolavaccines could be distributed in the first months of the new year. Kieny acknowledged there were many “ifs” remaining and “still a possibility that it [a vaccine] will fail”. But she sketched out a much broader experiment than was imagined only six months ago.

“These are quite large trials,” she said.

This is good news...

Encouraging words

Good morning everyone!! Just thought to share these words a friend shared with me this morning on whatsapp. 

Ladies, remember you are beautiful and always remember your worth 😊

 Words from Oprah Winfrey– “If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn’t want you, nothing can

make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.

Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.”

# “Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that’s not meant to be.”

# “Slower is better. Never live your life for a man

before you find what makes you truly happy.”

# “If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don’t stay because you think ‘it will get better.’

You’ll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.”

# “Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn’t marry

them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?”

# “Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.

If something bothers you, speak up.”

# “You cannot change a man’s behavior. Change comes from within.”

# “He is a man; nothing more, nothing less.”

# “Never let a man define who you are.”

# “Never borrow someone else’s man. If he cheated with you, he’ll cheat on you.”

# “A man will only treat you the way you allow

him to treat you.”

# “All men are NOT dogs.”

# “You should not be the one doing all the bending–compromise is a two-way street.”

# “If a relationship ends because the man was not

treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can’t ‘be friends.’

A friend wouldn’t mistreat a friend. Don’t settle.”

# “The only person you can control in a relationship is you.”

# “Always have your own set of friends separate from  his”

#“Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.”

# “Don’t ever make him feel he is more important

than you are, even if he has more education or a better job.” “Do not make him into a quasi-god.”

Send it to every women you know!!  Hi gorgeous, you are pretty.  Pretty as your name.  You know it, clap your hands. This is a toast  2 u,  for the man  who has you, and the losers who lost u.  Lucky  are the dudes who are going 2
