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 seriously 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, get well. Take the tea, morning and evening. Welcome to the tea club. London and I are happy to have a tea- threesome with you(tea-ménage á trios). 


I have been dreaming. About my wedding. 

I have a wandering mind with no apologies. 

I love Instagram because of the glamour and gossip. There’s always something to see. Clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, comedy, people being extravagant, lots of pictures and gossip. It all depends who you follow and your searches. 

One fine evening, I saw a beautiful shoe and I thought to my self: “that’s the shoe i’d love to get married wearing”. It caught my eye and heart. Serena Williams got married in a similar shoe, hers would have cost a fortune. I loved the blings and sparkles on hers. But mine was quite different. The love ❤️ patterns and colorful artsy drawings is a die for. They gave me kicks when I saw it. Heels make a statement(strong). I love to see a woman in heels, I also love me in heels but if I am going to get married to that man, it will not be in heels. I just want to rock those white-artsy comfy shoes that speak to me and make me feel like I can touch the skies. I know a comfortable shoe when I see one because I love shoes! 

Confession: I’ve not been to church since the pandemic. When I spot my unworn shoes on the rack, I feel they are annoyed with me. I seldom wear them now. 

I was forced to wear one of them to work recently and I could hear the shoe thank me for wearing it. I am not lying!

So back to my dream wedding. I imagine myself walking down the aisle in those pretty white  or off white artsy- converse-like shoes.

The picture my mind is painting feels good and looks like the best decision ever. 

My friends, I have decided on the shoe I am going to wear on my wedding day even before the proposal. I don’t even know who I’m marrying but I got a shoe in mind. And it ain’t a pair of heels. 


A woman can dream, can’t she? Yes she can.

 

NB:

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...
