LIVE.
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…
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….
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…
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…
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…
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….
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…
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…
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….
Yesterday was the opening of 3 days art exhibition I organised to promote some young Ghanaian contemporary artists. This is the first time I have ever organised or curated an art exhibition. The preparations before the art exhibition felt like pregnancy and I am going through labour to birth the results. I have 2 days…
Older people are always acknowledged for being more experienced than young people in most things. This is not true. Just because someone is old does not mean that person has more experience than a younger person in some things. Sometimes, being older older does not mean you know or have experienced everything. I have been…
Bullies are people we can never avoid in life and most people will have to endure them for the rest of their lives. They can be family members, friends, teachers, neighbours, classmates, coworkers, bosses, children or companies. I know a lot of people including myself who have gone through bullying. It is a painful experience…
