Why music is my religion.

Everyday I wake up from dreamland only for my eardrums to be assaulted by a cacophony of noises.
Birds chirping incessantly outside my window, my neighbours bickering about something trivial or someone shouting my name as if the whole world depended on my response to survive.
That is when I yearn to return to that place of serenity, where it is Me and my thoughts.
So, I put on my earphones and in a matter of seconds I am shut off from the world.
All becomes still,quiet and peaceful.  Just as the earth was without form and void in the beginning of creation. Then I press the play button.
Immediately, I am ushered into a musical realm.  And, it as if God pronounced those magical words "let there be music", and there was music.
But, the creative process does not end there. The sound begins subtly and rises up to a frenzy.  It starts with two sticks hitting each other then a tin of foil which sets the tempo, guitar strings being strummed and a pair of piano keys being played. A symphony has begun.
I am transported to another world.  I become oblivious to baby wails, police sirens, car honks, and all other deafening noises.
I close my eyes and wrap myself in that liquid love, that musical serenity.  The melodious voices and pulsating rhythms drown all my worries and fears.
Then I become one with the music.

Saddest Day in Ghana

I was in the car with Abena(my sister) on the way to our writing class  when we received a call from Kweku(my brother). He said " Abe and Adom come back home, Atta Mills is dead". I was stunned and I thought he could not be serious. So, we switched our radio frequency to Joy Fm and BBC. The news was been confirmed. That is when it dawned on us it was true. I thought of his wife now a widow, the fact that he had no biological children, the state of the nation now that we are heading towards an election.
John Atta Mills was a very humble man and a responsible statesman. I know realize how Ghanaians were blessed to have such a leader. The saying "One never knows the value of something till it is lost".  We teased him, made songs about him and even movies like 'Atta the mortuary man' to ridicule his illness. There were always rumors about his illness, he has been pronounced dead many times but friends and foes. Well, today it is official yet nobody wants to believe it, we wish it was all a joke. 
Next time we have a good leader let us appreciate him and strive to be at peace with everyone regardless of their tribe or political party.
 Goodnight Ghana and my condolences.

I'm a Year Older!

Today is the first time I am blogging as a twenty year old *applause*. I  am OLD or YOUNG judging from which angle you are looking at it . When I was thirteen all I wanted to be was twenty and now I just wanna go back to being eighteen because I feel that in a few years I will be out of my parents nest or I might wake up soon to see a gray hair. Nonetheless, I feel so grateful to God that I made it this far because just last thursday I lost a school mate or better said a small sister, Leslie. She was in a few classes lower than I but, it is impossible to forget her because she had such an attitude. She died in a car accident on her way home after clubbing with some friends.None of them survived.She was only seventeen.

My prayer today is that I will use all my years to serve,help,encourage and be a blessing unto people.
As long as God gives me life I would be happy and cherish every moment of it and continually give him all the praise.

Have a Great day!

My Mom has got Swag!

LOL. I am laughing at the title of my blogspot but I must admit it is true.The ladies in my family know how to dress and love looking good. My grandma is eighty and she still has swag. She still puts on makeup and she loves to put on strange nail polish colours on her toes!! 
So I was going through my Mum's stuff and I saw this lovely picture. I love her dress style.
And, today just seemed the perfect day to post it because it is her birthday. LOVE YOU MOM!

P.S  She was wearing a mini dress..I don't think I can go out of the house wearing something like that!
