Every decision we make contributes to how we curate our lives. As an art dealer and gallerist, one of my primary responsibilities is curating art for art exhibitions, these artworks are treated with the most utmost care and attention to detail is a necessity. I realised that most people do not give the same level…
But If I Should React…
Dealing with people who know the right thing but deliberately refuse to do so is very frustrating, they put you in a very uncomfortable position to either rant, complain, or scold them. Afterwards they have the audacity to feel offended and make you the bad person when they created the entire mess. Maturity is lacking…
BALANCE
This year has been about having a balanced life, which can only happen when you have stability. This applies to most things, a stable object is balanced. You have to create a balanced life which takes time and a deliberate effort to achieve. This means having a self care regimen for yourself that gives you…
YEAR OF REST
All I wanted to do in 2021 was rest from everything, especially from work. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Rest is something we hate to do in our modern life because we unfortunately equate it to laziness. Taking a day or more off to recuperate is different from refusing to…
REFLECTIONS (2020)
This year 2020 will remain memorable for everyone who lived through it. Most were deeply impacted by the COVID-19 virus pandemic that happened while the rest were not affected or experienced little impact. I began this year very excited and fulfilled because I opened my first gallery space on 4th January, 2020 in East Legon….
THIS YEAR(2019) DEFINED ME.
What a year it has been! This year has been one of the best I’ve experienced. It absolutely defined me! I began the year with so many expectations but after a few months I forgot about them because I felt they would not come true. The one thing I needed desperately was to find the…
LIFE IN PROGRESS
This year has been very difficult for me in every aspect of my life. I experienced pain, loss and I almost gave up on my art gallery several times. Through it all I learnt to be patient, tolerant, listen, love, forgive, share, apologise, filter my words and have integrity. The most comforting thing I did…
SUPPORT SYSTEM
The older I get, the more important I realise that a support system is needed in life. I would not be here without a support system and very good one too. With friends and family that have given me their time, advice, money, encouragements, influenced situations in my favour, opportunities and more importantly hugs. Nothing…
LIVE…LIVE…LIVE!!!
I almost forgot how to live. I had the opportunity to work with and for an influential man. The experience was priceless but the cost I had to pay was too much. I loved my job but I was slowly killing myself working an average 12hours a day without rest. I quit two days ago….
MY EXPERIENCES WITH “NO” IN BUSINESS
This afternoon a customer told me he was no longer interested in doing business with my startup company Defia Art Services. I was very sad but not shocked because I am used to being told NO since I started running my own business. He is one of the many people who decided not to purchase…
JUST DO IT!
I am not good with giving advice because I do not have much experience myself. I believe people need to live to experience life. In the last few years a lot of opportunities have come my way. I was not expecting them. They are all pleasant surprises and I am grateful for them. I love…
APPROPRIATE APPEARANCE
Appearance and knowing the appropriate cloths to wear for different events are very important and since I hate to dress up to go anyway, I prefer to stay home. I love casual cloths. They are so comfortable and simple to wear. I love clothes that I do not have to iron because I hate ironing….
