Bonjour Juin,


O how long it’s been! 

This past year has truly been unprecedented. If I were to describe our time apart in a few words, I could simply describe it with a vivid representation; imagine being hit by a ‘tro tro’ (as we call it in Ghana), somersaulting in the air, thinking there was relief on the ‘greener’ grass! And then suddenly, being swept by a hurricane ! 

While you tried to find rest on the cushiest ‘pads’ within the hurricane, you noticed that nature thought it wise to select at least one of some other species, including the serpent! Indeed, had the serpents’ bite knocked you out, you may have relished in a coma that would last till your lacrimal glands were fully emptied! However, for the first time, ‘with all the powers combined ‘ or at least just two, wind and fire, you finally landed on top of the barbecue, just in time to roast with what one would deem supper!

As the burning coals have adjusted in intensity ever since, your closest confidants have called you things like resilient, strong, and focused! 

June, if there’s one thing to take away from this year, it’s the importance of how you choose and invest in those people who have constantly shown up for you and point you towards the right SOURCE! Especially, in the darkest and deepest trenches!

June- there will be ebbs and flows as we write our story! True growth comes with the test that accompanies discomfort! A plant may initially be impeded by the overlaying soil which provides it protection and nutrition! Ultimately, its the plants’ ‘duty’ to forage its way through the soil to expose its leaves to sunlight! The question is; how will we leverage the current and impending discomfort?

Also, what grace and favor it is to be gifted with the joy of experiencing and appreciating growth! 

June; You ray of light 

Bienvenue!
