There's a lot of tension in our world now and a few people are trying their best to create more chaos than allow the rest of us to live peacefully.

I started this blog with the title “Top Three!” for the top three reasons why I am ecstatic about the shift in our reality and our state of affairs. I am not naïve to think that one change, who is president of the United States, would solve all problems. But if you know me, you may have heard me say many times that there is no separation between you and me. So what does that mean now?Let’s see whether I can combine these two titles.In my native Akan language, we say “nipa ye nipa wo nnipa mu,” which means, “a [...]

I was recently interviewed by Brandon Baker of Life Coach Path and I am pleased to share our discussion with you. I know firsthand that investing in yourself by working with a transformational coach can be a challenging step to take, but you get to work with someone who triggers in you your own ability to heal. If you are able to learn to balance your intuition, thoughts, and emotions through the process, I feel that it is the greatest gift you can give to yourself.

About a month or so ago, a dear friend invited my daughter and me to a premiere of Just Mercy. After watching the official trailer the night before, I was eager to see the story unfold on the screen. And did it ever!It is imperative for everyone to see this movie. The story and narrative are powerful, and the film offers an intimate look into the state of our humanity. Before you read further, I must issue a disclaimer: I have no connection to this movie, except that I am a child of this universe, a citizen of this world, [...]
Some years ago, I worked as a Domestic Violence Counselor at a Women’s Shelter where I conducted both group and individual sessions. I met several wonderful women and on one of my weekly visits, I worked with a young lady who made an impression on me. I am singling her out because of the topic I have chosen for discussion—and for how our sessions progressed.In our very first one-on-one, we met in the living room at the shelter, and I remember that the blinds were fully closed and it was early in the afternoon with the sun shining outside. She [...]
My elders from the Akan tribe of Ghana teach that: “Ka na ka bio yenkyi,” which means that repetition is not taboo! I have chosen to share last year's message about joyful living again because a lot of us have been through insurmountable challenges this year—in our personal lives, politically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. By grace, we are still here on this planet, and the repetition will allow us to refine or perfect our approach to living joyfully. It is that time of year when we reflect on what we have accomplished so far in life and what we wish it to [...]
