Many men, boys and threshold men (not-yet-a-man-but-not-a-boy-either) are hiding secretly as it seems to be the taboo that no one can talk about. Whilst its becoming increasingly common that women are coming out and talking about their situations (although women’s testimonies and young girls appear … Continue reading Tyler Perry Interview about Abuse (Inspiration Thursday)

Day (425) – Keep It Simple
Speaks for itself! :p enjoy! x
The ultimate me…
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. ~
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Looking for You
I LOVE Kirk Franklin! And I know this song is old but I never tire of it. This song has been blessing me the past 24hours. Its given me reason to jump and dance and the lyrics express my heart fully of what I wanted … Continue reading Looking for You

Life is a bit like a Pressure cooker sometimes. For me, the past three weeks or the past month have been an intense ride and its felt like I’ve been put in a pressure cooker that I can’t come out of but gotta stay in … Continue reading Pressure: LET OUT SOME STEAM!!
BLACK STARS 56 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE: HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
I have the wonderful opportunity as holding dual heritage in that I was born and bred in the UK and fully British, but I was born to Parents from the motherland Ghana, also affectionately known as “Black Stars” and originally “The Gold Coast” before that … Continue reading BLACK STARS 56 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE: HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
wow. just wow. the beauty of music….transporting you to another world. That’s what this instrumental has just done. And as Donovan boldy states “it evokes an emotion” and “makes your braver”. Well, I certainly feel braver, like I’ve been sent to a time with the First nation people eg. The native Americans. I kinda feel like Pocahantas…
That’s the power and the value of pieces like these because they take you to another word for those few moments where reality and life as you know it stand still and far behind you. It like a deep connection on a journey to find you. However, as to whether the artist who composed this piece was thinking on those lines, we will never know but until then enjoy this piece!

Because I know that music makes you braver, and evokes emotion in a person. I will weekly list a track that moves me. I’m going to ask you to do the same. What music moves you to write, evokes emotion? Inspires you…to write. Create.
Here is a piece that has inspired me to write a Novel about a young man and his tribe in a African/ desert nation.
Literally I kept listening to this song, and the ‘star stuff’ gathered. I have a basic plot, names and histories of families formed, and the physical layout of the world map all materialized.
It’s a sweeping, beautiful epic piece.
The maker of a …
The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love this quote! Ralph describes the creation of words in a metaphorical way that I wouldn’t have cared to imagine. Today, this quote has impacted me profoundly. I say that it has impacted because he’s inspired and exhorted me to look at words and sentences a little more differently. So my challenge to you for the week is this: Take time to consider the sentences you make. Consider what road you are paving. Are they arm stones and rocky, or are they smooth and Roman? Consider the way you make for the way you lead is pioneering to life…
Keeping it real, Peace!
