IT STARTS WITH YOU

Okay I am so excited right now. You remember in my very first post WHY BLOGGING I explained why I started a blog {I still can't believe its been a week already}. Because my main motivation was boredom, I didn't really give much thought to who was reading. As long as I kept my fingers and brain busy I was okay. However after writing my first real post this view I so believed changed. I realized I really wanted people to listen to what i had to say. If just a person would make sense and take sense out of my writings, I would be fulfilled.

Imagine my surprise when my childhood buddy called me this afternoon. I couldn't even make his voice out because it has indeed been years since I last heard him speak. So I am busy trying to recognize the voice and I hear him say,"TECHNOLOGIZED" And I'm thinking "whoa he actually read my blog?". Was it a coincidence that my childhood friend should call me after reading a post about keeping relationships alive? Or did the post actually have an effect on him. I am feeling like Mother Theresa right now. {yeah well, I know I have not saved any lives yet, but hey I am counting my victories no matter how little they may be}

Philemon may never know the impact his action has had on me today. But trust me, I wont forget the joy I felt knowing that in my little corner I can make a difference.I feel so motivated right now. Sometimes it matters not the number of people who may benefit from an action. If through your deeds a little girl can go to bed happy,or a person may change their ways, then that deed is worth the try. So don't hold back like I use to. Stop giving yourselves reasons why you will not succeed. Start that blog, write that story, start that NGO, record that song;sing your heart out.Someone out there will definitely benefit from your little efforts. Yes this messed up world needs to change on different levels. Who better to start that change but YOU.

IS THIS GHANA?

      Almost every Ghanaian has at some point in their educational journey written about their country. I recall how passionate we were, trying to find good things to say about Ghana. Even though the only people who were going to read our essays were our teachers, we endeavored to give it our best. We couldn't write about Ghana and exclude this line, "Ghanaians are hospitable". It run through almost all our essays. Indeed during my primary school days, Ghana was a hospitable country.      Ghana was that place where you could sit in a commercial vehicle and struck up a conversation with someone you had just met. Ghana was the place where you could meet someone on the pavement of Accra and start discussing the latest episode of "Storm over paradise". A place where we would rather talk and argue than resort to violence. That was my Ghana.Today I wonder if we can proudly say that line, "Ghanaians are hospitable".      For d...

TECHNOLOGIZED

     So I'm sitting in my room, watching a movie about two blondes and I can't even make heads or tails of the plot, probably because i am busy chatting on my phone at the same time.      In the course of the movie, I hear my stomach growl and the struggle began.The problem here is, I really do not want to leave my room into that hot sun. So I think hey, "why don't I call a friend and ask that he brings me food".  Just then i hear the voice of my friend Samuel whisper in my mind, 'Your room is really your comfort zone.' Indeed he has a point,i barely leave my room unless its absolutely necessary. I am surrounded by all i need. I have my laptop,my phone, a strong internet connection, a television i barely watch, a fridge for food, a ceiling fan and whatnot.{Thank God for technology}. So basically, i have all the entertainment a young adult could possibly want.     About two weeks ago i recall i was having a conversation on wha...
