Unfathomable Weekend




We don’t know what the future holds for us even when we have the best laid out plans for it. All we do is hope and pray our plans manifest. 

An idea had been brewing in my mind for a while and I guess the time was right for it. It was Vi’s birthday! 


When you have awesome friends, it’s easy to get them together for an amazing time. 

We celebrated Vi’s birthday over the weekend and it was a mind blowing experience. 


I would like to officially welcome Anguah  and Yaw into our circles. They’ve always been part of us but have never been present in any of our meetings. 

I drove to Anguah’s place to pick her up and we went to meet Vi at Marina mall (picked up the cake as well). 


The party started in the car on our way to the party house. Kofi Kinaata’s Play had us hopping and throwing our hands in the air. Singing along happily laced with loud laughs at some of the words of the song. I know I laugh loud but the squeaky laughs of Anguah is so funny. It has moved past annoying to a laughter I love to hear and sometimes, I honestly miss it. 


The party; it started with history lessons and we were schooled on some part of history we didn’t know existed and some history which had been intentionally left out of our school curriculum. 


We learn everywhere even at parties. 


Play us some music DJ Chilombo and let the real party begin! Enough of history lessons(we will get back to it on another day), girls want to have fun. We danced, sang along and laughed at ourselves. It was an enjoyable experience. 


Our invited guests showed up and the party continued. It was an eventful celebration. Eating, drinking, dancing, singing, telling all sorts of jokes and the seemingly quiet one who nodded in beauty once in a while.


The remarkable moment came when one of our friends(Yaw) exclaimed “Unfathomable!” reacting to a story being told and this comment had us all in stitches. It was his facial expressions and demeanor. The night was fun filled and exuberant.


The energy was positive and the weather was cool and friendly. Cold winds swayed all around us, they were enjoying our company too. The stars and the moon had aligned with us to have fun.  


Saying goodbye was hard but we promised each other we will do this as often as possible. Thank God for moments like this: nights we go to bed smiling on our pillows because the day was memorable. 

We are grateful for the gift of life. 


Until the next ‘Unfathomable Weekend’ or meeting, we hold the memories of this one dear.

Heels are not my wedding shoes

  I thought we had Covid-19  under control but Ghana is steadily moving to a second wave of covid cases. Why? People are not taking the Covid-19 protocols serio usly and that’s pretty upsetting . My teammate joins the public transport every day to work and she tells me, she’s sometimes the only one wearing the mask. That’s very unfortunate. I wish we will all be responsible because covid doesn’t end with how cautious you are. We protect ourselves to save ourselves and others. Wear your masks, wash your hands, keep a sanitizer and observe social distance.   Don’t panic if the result is positive, you will be fine. I know you will be.  Drink warm water with crushed ginger and garlic. Add some lemon for a zesty effect. Most importantly, obey the body. Rest. Sleep. Drink water. Lots of it. And stay positive. You will be fine. Talk to friends who care. I just want to send a special mention to that friend who tested positive, you are loved. I will keep praying for you...

Tributes While I Am Still Alive

                My birthday is coming soon, April 1.   I am 39 and very proud of it. Most women shy away from their age and I can’t really tell why?! My younger sister is always dreading her birthdays and one of my cousin’s have been 26 for the past 5 years.  I am one person who bluntly says my age whenever I am asked, irrespective of who and how it’s asked! Yes 39 and beautiful at heart 💜. No children yet and relationship is very much complicated. Relationship wise, I guess I’ve become too comfortable being single. (Hope my mum will skip this part) The things I look out for now are so funny and petty. 1. How he chews when eating  2. Use of shorthand to chat  3. His cologne  4. Low key on social media  5. I’ll end it at 4. In my 39 years on earth, I’ve made some mistakes and learnt a lot from it. I’ve hurt people and  I’m deeply sorry, if you are one of them. Others I know, others I have no ...

Everything Good Will Come

“ I danced the *kpalongo, fearing nothing for my sanity, or common sense. I added a few foreign steps to disorientate the discontented so-and-so: flamenco,can-can, Irish dancing from side to side. Nothing could take my joy away from me. The sun sent her blessings. My sweat baptized me.” ~Enitan Taiwo.  The day Fanny told me “everything good will come”, I felt she was in a better place so she could afford to say things like this to me.  I thought she didn’t understand my pain. I am sure she sensed I wasn’t impressed. Those words sounded like she was being dismissive of my pain. That was far from it. Now, I know better.  Thank you, Fanny.  I have learned; those words are one of the kindest words someone can say to you. You have to enjoy the process. It’s all yours! What’s life without the downs? The bumpy rides make you appreciate life on a smooth road (when you eventually get there). We will all get there soon.  I have been mouthing “everything good will come” fo...
