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 onContinue reading “Bonjour Juin,”

An alien’s lament!
We walked across the bridge, dodging all the perilous cracks! Only to learn that the expression of value is sometimes met with a rather less ideal reward. Occurring while navigating the path across two completely different worlds, it felt like it had only taken a second and a lifetime at the same time. We madeContinue reading “An alien’s lament!”
The infectiousness of a Bystander’s anxiety
Heart throbbing Mind racing The breeze is filled with scraps… Flying through the air… Bombarding my external senses… But I find stillness in the internal quiet. Except, it really isn’t about my external senses.. IS IT? So I open my eyes and there is calm in my immediate vicinity. However, the bystander standing across theContinue reading “The infectiousness of a Bystander’s anxiety”
Dearest NOLA
Dearest NOLA, As promised, here is my reflection of how you awoke my senses over the four days we got to spend together. I remember how you bombarded me with the smell of vegetable oil right out of the gate as we were deplaning. I’ll admit, I’d never experienced that in my previous travels andContinue reading “Dearest NOLA”
It’s a little chaotic out there

Are we becoming what we HATE?
As I sat down waiting for the show to begin, they chattered among themselves. It was as if I was surrounded by one personality type, multiplied by 5. They understood each other too well and were so consumed by their conversation that they forgot there was one person there who didn’t belong.

One minute your brain is functioning at a 100% capacity and when a dull moment ensues, it all comes rushing. Rushing like a flood and which better place than when I’m most unaware- In my freakn sleep! You dare attack me in my sleep. In my most vulnerable space, where I crave peace. I craveContinue reading ” Emotions likened to kryptonite- a distress call “
A PLEA: ON THE ISSUE OF SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS AND MENTAL HEALTH
Why do we deny people acts of kindness without getting to know them PERSONALLY? If we knew what others thought about us, based on our ACTIONS which THEY interpreted to be wrong, and if we considered them to be ‘TRUTH’, we probably wouldn’t like ourselves! In essence; before we slander, before we insult or wishContinue reading “A PLEA: ON THE ISSUE OF SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS AND MENTAL HEALTH”
He was customized for the Annan’s’!
Clearly, the world’s confusion about standards makes me pause with the statement ‘I have the best…’. I’d like to think that for the person I’ve become and I’m continuing to grow into, God gave me exactly what I needed and still need! Daddy! His intellect is my favorite quality of his. I haven’t met aContinue reading “He was customized for the Annan’s’!”
Dear June; an open letter ‘of a sort’
23:44 hrs Dear June, This may be reaching you a little later than expected but it surely is better late than never. I remember peeping through January’s wintery window and wondering when I might find your respite. February always lagged sluggishly like a millipede, moving tortuously along its on path, yet glued closely to March’sContinue reading “Dear June; an open letter ‘of a sort’”
