About Me

In a world where hypocrisy and flakiness seem to be customary, I strive to stay true to myself and continue to discover and know who I am. I believe everything can be stripped away from you, but who you are should always be like a shadow trailing behind you...that's part of being conscious. I'm drawn to the deeper things about life...appreciation...sincerity... mindfulness...and the most striking of all, nature. I appreciate spirituality...a deeper kind that leaves you bare and connected to the most High...i appreciate its sense of fulfillment... simplicity...beauty..."I am not a super- Christian, I am not extra-special. I merely live an ordinary life with the gracious help of an extra-ordinary God"...these are the exact words of a friend of mine...words that best describe my spiritual state. I appreciate people with a mind...people who can think for themselves and know who they are and continue to stay true to that. I don't settle...detest mediocrity and sluggishness...i believe in pushing oneself past a set mark. Born and raised in Ghana, West Africa...I love my heritage to bits and will fight anyone who gets the facts wrong about My Continent--Africa. I'm proud to be part of a place rich in culture and value. I do believe that there is an ideal woman hidden in every woman...all we need to do is to tap within ourselves to release her. If you're a woman reading this you already know what I'll say. If not I challenge you to find yourself, because that, no one can take away from you. Let's be proud of who we are. Peace and God bless.

I think the person who trims herself to suit everybody will soon whittle herself away.The easiest thing to be in the world is YOU.... Just be yourself GIRL and leave those critics to go to hell.
