I thirst for a different Christmas. I’d say I have never had a perfect Christmas. Who has anyway and what’s a perfect Christmas? I used to have a beautiful imagination of how my Christmas should go but I never took a single action to make them come through. Thoughts do more. Words do much. Actions …
2019 has been unpredictable. There was never a dull moment, but trust me it wasn’t fun throughout either. The blessings and lessons, the ups and downs created a colourful year. I think I’ve seen it all. It came with winds of patience blowing me from north to south and from east to west until I …
I registered for an exams recently for further studies. I was not sure of the particular level to register for so I consulted a friend. During the process of online registration, another friend claimed I had to register for a different level. Well I ignored it knowing well that my squad, a group of five …

I was sad when I read that article. After reading it, I told myself this could have been avoided with the patient charter. That’s how important this topic is to me. My mum was sick and visited the hospital. On her return I asked her about the diagnosis and to my surprise she said she …
As I stood at the bus stop waiting for a “trotro” a driver’s mate asked me where I was going. I told him where I was going and since it was not in his direction he decided to get on my nerves. “You will still be here when I come back, old woman.” Wait did …
“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to …
Reading on slavery and a visit to the slave Castle may produce the same emotions but the intensity of these emotions differ, trust me. My recent visit to the Elmina castle in Cape Coast produced mixed feelings. It is the year of return in Ghana and my tour group comprised of many black Americans from …
