JUNE

Can you believe it is already June? This year feels like it is sprinting ahead while I am still trying to catch my life. As we step into a new month, I am setting one simple but important goal for myself. I want to post more often. Maybe twice. Maybe just once. But no matter what, I will show up.  Consistency is the treasure I seek; perfection is the result. I want to be present and share and talk with you. 

Here is the honest truth: I am not exactly thrilled about this month. Right now, my life feels stagnant. Like a paused scene in a movie waiting for someone to press play. The same people keep visiting my LinkedIn profile, and still, no one reaches out. No messages. No offers. Just premium views of my life. And if you are here reading this, you are already doing more than most. That matters. Every view, every scroll, every click on this blog helps. It tells the algorithm I exist. It helps me get recommended. It brings traffic. And yes, it brings me closer to the kind of click-worthy, SEO-boosted attention that can actually open doors.

Last weekend, I decided to step outside after it had been forever. I needed fresh air, something different and to try braveness for once. So I went out in Accra. Let me tell you, it was intense. The city was overflowing. People everywhere. Cars honking. Heat rising. I got pushed, I got tossed around, I fell and I smelled all sorts of things: armpits, sweat and rotten fish infused with garbage.  Literally. And I was carrying my laptop. It dropped too. Fortunately it did not get stolen, but the whole thing left me feeling sick. That experience reminded me of how much I miss being somewhere else. Somewhere tranquility wasn't a demand. Somewhere I could sense myself again. I have been fortunate to travel to three  African countries, but South Africa will always be my favorite. In 2021, just as travel restrictions were lifting, I spent a week at the Suncoast Hotel and Towers in Durban. It was everything I needed. Clean. Peaceful. Balanced. No pushing. No chaos. Just everything. Coming back to the noise and stress of Accra made me crave that version of my life even more. The one where I felt safe. Grounded. Excited to wake up.

And perhaps that is why I am writing this. Well, it is a reminder that something better is possible. The fact that it isn't today doesn't mean it won't arrive ever again. 

So if you are reading this, scroll a little more. Share it. Click around. Let the internet know I have something to say. Let the numbers climb. Let the algorithms do their thing. This is June. I am showing up. I am still here. Let’s make it count.
