The Lessons That I Derived from My Recent Wanderlust
The darkness that surrounds the storm is often the most turbulent period of hardships that embellish us into the trance of not knowing what to do. I learnt the lessons of patience, virtue and gratitude from the darkest periods of my life. Life has its ways of embracing us in its wisdom, staggering us into the whirlwinds of challenges and adversities, only to gift us with peonies of hope. Hope can metamorphose mountains of hatred into the galloping beauty of existence that showers us with the narrative of self-belief and confidence. It is often in a wanderlust away from our daily surroundings that we realize the wonder that the world we live in has to offer. Forgiveness after a storm is like accepting the catastrophe without denying the damage it has done. It is painful but necessary to survive, to thrive in our lives.

Ghana Is A Corrupt, Scamming & Violent Nation
Wednesday, 30 October 2024 By: TB Obwoge The narrative from Ghanaians is the thing that make me write about Ghana, you'd think people that called themselves so peaceful and so welcoming wouldn't be colorists. You'd think that they would be kind without their hand out for a few dollars just to be kind to you cost you a lot. You would think that Ghana wouldn't be the country for scamming.

A Forced Vacation per Hurricane Milton
I'm generally a happy camper, literally and figuritively. I'm one of those chics who likes to consider myself pretty apt at camping and with basic survival tactics. I know how to fish and hunt. I know how to set up a tent. I was a Girl Scout in my youth and I've practiced outdoor living (RV, Van, and Tent) enough to have some valuable information to share with others. This article isn't about Camping Tips though. When the news began to scare the bojangles out of me with the direction of Hurricane Milton and the possibility of it reaching a Category 4 or 5, I did not panic. I stayed calm and packed up my car for camping as I was deciding which day was the best to leave. Though the area where I live was not ordered specifically for mandatory evacuation, many nearby areas were and I didn't want to chance it. I packed a small suitcase of clothes, a small bag of travel food, my laptop and cellphone, and my camping gear (tent, sleeping blanket, etc). I headed out on Monday the 7th (two days before the Hurricane was expected to make landfall) -- a day before the mass exodus of people who also decided to leave via I-75 on Tuesday.

My Conversations with Eva Péron. Top Story - October 2024.
I laid the LP on the turntable and dropped the needle. The familiar scratch of the vinyl disc hit my ears before the mastery of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s first bars filled the air. The hairs on my arms stood on end as the death of María Eva Duarte de Perón was announced in a cinema in Buenos Aires. Operatic voices rang out with Requiem for Evita, their intensity rising as the seconds ticked by.

The Magic of Autumn Romance
Autumn and Young Love: A Season of Warmth and Romance Pre-winter is a season that encloses the world with a consoling, brilliant gleam. The air turns fresh, the leaves burst into energetic tones of golden, red, and gold, and the climate conveys a feeling of sorcery that rouses change. As the temperature cools, hearts appear to warm, and for the overwhelming majority of youthful couples, pre-winter turns into a season of falling leaves, however of experiencing passionate feelings. Something really doesn't add up about this season that extends feelings, intensifying the pleasantness and the despairing that affection frequently brings.

The Kindness of Strangers
London was shrouded in a continuous cloche like cloud of greyness this one Saturday in February. The cold air vortexing through the streets and alleyways was impregnated with the aroma and threat of snow. What sunlight that did filter through the clouds was so diffused it could not cast any shadows. The wind’s cold energy had infiltrated the weft and weave of my multiple layers of clothing, some of which were sold as being suitable for even the most extremes of climate.

The Art of Living with Purpose
Life is a journey where we all have opportunities, challenges and experiences that mold us into who are. Dispose of something that provides motivation, and you are potentially lost on this journey by going through it blindly. One of the motivating forces that keep me going is reminding myself that every day is a fresh start. However, irrespective of what has come and gone by the score, everyday offers a new possibility to make a fresh start and aim higher at goals set and dreams envisioned.
