My wife asked me to help her negotiate with Agoogi, the fish seller. I got her the worst deal ever. Agoogi was happy. I was happy. My wife was... well, you can guess. My grandma sold fish at Tema Fishing Harbour. Agoogi reminded me of her: Her hustle, her strength, her perseverance, her calmness, her wit. There’s no way on earth I’m going to low ball my grandma. If you ever need a favour from me, come looking like my grandma.

During this season, I am dedicating this page to Serenity, to Peace, To Quietness and Joy and Hope and Strength. There are times when everyone’s faith fails. When our legs wobble and our shoulders droop. But in our moment of weakness, the strong in our ranks bear us on their shoulders and we win together. If we’re going to survive Covid-19, we must be together.

“Just go and bring a glass of water. Fetch it from a house that’s never known sorrow. Then I will make all your sadness disappear”. “That must be pretty easy”. She thought to herself as she hurried back to her village. (6 Years Later) “My daughter, I’ve been waiting. Where is the cup of water? I want to perform the ritual that will make all your sorrow disappear.” “My Lord, every house I’ve been to has been willing to offer me a cup of water but I’m yet to find a house that’s not known sorrow. May be , I can fetch from your house?”. The wise old man looked at her with compassion in his eyes. “I too, my daughter, have known sorrow”.

I ushered in 2020 by bonfire with friends and family from Accra Community Church. After we crossed into the new year, we slept in tents, woke up to amazing breakfast, held two seminars: one on goal setting and another on how to make an effective budget. We had lunch after that and then left to go face the year with hope. I don’t know how you ushered in this year but I pray it tests you well. May your 2020 be blessed.

Before they get here And pour their concrete Everywhere And keep their lights on Every hour Let’s celebrate this silence This quietness This precious peace Before they show up With their new found money And borrowed ambitions And ruin it all With their concrete and glass.

If you give others power to determine your value, you'll only feel as valuable as the last opinion of you you heard. Schaklyn is a model we bumped into whilst scouting some new locations.
