Estimated reading time: 2 minutes Well there is a lot I can say about the quote above and I know many women will agree with me. I am not too experienced in relationships but from what I have encountered and what I see happen around me, I have some questions for the guys. So guys don't go, stick around 😉 Let's imagine this scenario. A guy sees a beautiful girl, declares his love or likeness of her to her. She is very casual about it and doesn't get too excited by his profession of love/intense like. He tries again and she agrees to talk on the phone, communicate by text, whatsapp etc. Very soon these two have been talking for quite sometime and get comfortable enough with each other to go on a few 'dates'. The lady obviously now likes this guy enough to consider dating him as a boyfriend. At this point the relationship is not just one-sided and the lady is also investing her time and sometimes calls or texts to check up on him. Few weeks down the line, communication...

Estimated reading time: 5 minutes (to read and ponder) Let's begin with an inspirational quote. If you are a regular Intraordinary blog reader or if you have watched my Q&As, you will know that I write inspired by the happenings of my life whether good or bad because there is always a lesson to be learned.  I have recently began a new project and have noticed something. I have been quite disappointed by the people who have not shown much support but I have also been surprised by those who have consistently shown support. I get compliments from strangers who have been inspired by a live broadcast and tell me to keep going. Some of them even promote the project.   So - it turns out that experience is the best teacher as the saying goes. If I can be quite honest, I was a bit upset that some people who I thought will be the first to show their support have not yet  said anything. However, I have been very overwhelmed and blessed by the number of people who have shown...

Reading time: 3 minutes 2020 has been a tough year for everyone. This I can say with a 100% certainty. COVID -19 came and rocked our world and threw our plans out of the window.  As a solo traveller and wanderluster, I must confess that I got very sad (almost depressed) with the thought of not being able to travel outside international or national borders for the forseeable future and I have somehow began making contingency plans for the summer holidays. And by that, I mean I have been thinking of making a contingency plan . Although this blog post is not exactly going to tell you how to plan a successful 3-day city break, it will show you how to plan a kind of a trip - a solo picnic trip.  The inspiration for this trip came two days ago, at a time when the whole of London (maybe even England) basked in a week of glorious warm summer days, I was stuck at home wondering how to make the most of the summer days. I knew I wanted to be out there like everyone else but my usual wal...

Estimated reading time: 5 minutes Forgive me, I know you didn't ask me to tell you about myself But I am taking the liberty to anyway I apologize if this comes across as rude But I am not nice to myself so that might be a reason why Just a few minutes ago, I had just told myself to shut up But only for a good reason,  I had had enough of hearing the lists of my shortcomings. And the court reporter that asked 'do you plead guilty?' But my mind came to my defence and played attorney - Or was it my God? ... Because a few moments before the thoughts in my head wouldn't stop accusing me. Anyway, there you go...that's one thing about me and it's not a secret anymore I apologize if this comes across to you as disturbing but it disturbs me too I am not nice to myself so that might be the reason why It would help if I told myself twice as many soothing and encouraging words to fight the negative thoughts. Here it comes, the good quotes threw in to my defence "Create...

A special dedication to Evelyn and Nana Yaa for unconsciously revealing to me that, this blog has an audience waiting. Thank you both 💞 and thank you all for your support ❤ Estimated reading time: 2 minutes She stood in front of the crowd - microphone in hand, Ready to bare her soul but she found no words come out of her mouth. She stood in front of the crowd Her mind racing with thoughts she yearned to express, but she found no words come out of her mouth. She stood in front of the crowd...still silent. Her pen had written many stories of a life she once lived and a life she yearned to live, but she found no words come out of her mouth. Still standing in front of the crowd, her heart was burdened with life's issues, anxiety, fear and doubts which did not belong there. For she knew she should not have opened the door of her heart to thoughts that she simply did not belong. In her mind was a book in which were written all the memories of her life, pages...pages of...
