Hello Everyone,

So I have been thinking about doing this for a while now, and I just finally decided today is the day.

Since this is my first blog, I thought something lighthearted and relatable will be perfect. This post is about my 9 favorite things. Each day we fall in love with new things and renew our love for the old. We all have things we can’t live without and I have a lot of them but i would just write about 9.

9. Food

Indian food. I actually discovered indian food in the middle of last year. Nothing beats eating something and feeling good about it. If you find a good indian restaurant that has buffet, the most you’d spend is $10. And also I live for peanuts, granola and pecans.

8. My Job

I know I know….when people talk about their jobs, it is never on the list of things they love but I have a very good reason to include it here. This is my very first job, at the beginning I didn’t like it at all but it has taught me a lot about customer service, it helped me get over my shyness, i have learned a lot about management and last but not the least IT PAYS THE BILLS. The only way, in my opinion, to love your job, is to always think about what you are getting from it and not what you are giving.

7. Poems

A good, well-written poem makes me happier than I care to admit sometimes. Pablo Neruda’s ‘If You Forget Me’ and Oscar Wilde’s ‘My Voice’ are a few of my favorites. These are free for your enjoyment online.

6. Nature

How Beautiful is it to see the trees and birds and flowers and animals. refreshing and welcoming right? Too Beautiful to put in words.

5. Music

When I say music, what I really mean is Westlife, Plain White Ts and sometimes Beyonce and P!nk. Westlife is a British boy band, they are not together anymore but that does not stop them from being my very favorite band. They have so many love songs, like ‘flying without wings’, which is my favorite in the whole world. They have other songs like ‘soledad, puzzle of my heart and evergreen’. Plain White Ts basically filled my westlife void and I have not been disappointed and I will not be because I have grown to love them equally. PWTs have good songs like ‘Rhythm of love, 1,2,3,4 ,Delilah and Boomerang. I am seeing them in concert soon!!! I listen to Beyonce and P!nk to remind myself of my strength and my ability to do and have anything I want in life, Beyonce is especially great for that. All these artists can be enjoyed on youtube for free.

4. My Best friends

I have had a lot of friends over the years and a few close friends but I have 3 best friends and they are all over, two in Ghana and one in the Scotland. These people are undeniably 3 of the most generous, loving, caring and trustworthy people in the world. I can tell Kofi anything in the world and know that he will never judge me. Rose will never say no to me, she will go above and beyond for me. My friendship with Gloria surprises most people because we are two very different people, she has so much patience and well……I don’t, but I couldn’t imagine anybody else in my life. Friendships do not cost a thing, you have to be willing to work on it, everyday.

3. Daniella

I could go on and on about the girl I once called my ‘school daughter’ but all I will say is, it makes me so happy to see her become the woman she is today. I hope all of you find a Daniella in your lives.

2. Family

I have two families. My Ghanaian family and my Spanish family. My Spanish family is another thing my job gave me and I couldn’t be more grateful for them. Then there is my Biological Family, I wouldn’t be here without them. I know your families make you happy too, but isn’t that really what life is about…love and happiness.

1.Sidney and Caasi

I live everyday for these two, their happiness, growth, health, faith. When Caasi runs to give me a hug when I walk through the door, I suddenly forget all about my horrible French test. There is nothing more precious than Sidney trying to break the high scores I set, and well..he never does, not for long anyway. They are a blessing.

I have so many things i want to write about. New post will be next week. I hope you like this.
