WHISPERS OF INSPIRATION

As the year draws to a close, Another new year beckons with much hope. There is no need belabouring the annual rituals of reviews, overviews, counter views, and reflections or stalk taking exercises to measure what we set out to do this year, in order to draw new resolutions. By now we all have a fair idea of what we have been able to accomplish, where we have fallen short and what we couldn't achieve. Whatever the outcome, please don't be discourage but be encouraged to do your little best. Indeed, we all had our fair share of ups and downs, happy and sad moments, just as we had defining moments and minor moments with some minuses. We might have had huge appetite and big expectations to do A, B and C this year. And I know there were even moments we nearly succumb to frustration of our inability to meet set goals. In the course of the year, we might have also incurred some loses in our various endeavours, with some of us loosing relatives or friends in the year. In fac

We all have special stories to tell in our efforts to weave through the intricate paths of life. Indeed, yesterday, a very young energetic friend in his 90s invited me to witness the 20th Anniversary of his marriage to his beautiful wife. I felt humbled and honoured to be invited by my friend, whose children are older than me. In my sober reflection of this invite, I remembered how I also fell some 20 years from a tree. That episode has indeed thought me great lessons. But through the changing scenes of time, Through our various encounters, I realised your unique story is relevant. Your story is still important for human progress. Even though we cannot phantom how, we have survived all this years. How we have been enabled to be able to walk through life to this day is a mystery. It is true that the God factor is still active and critical to our survival. And in spite of our various mistakes, miscalculation, missed opportunities, and our unworthiness and stubbornness, God has ge

Your being is a gift. Your life is also a gift. Every new day is a gift box, stuffed with grace, goodness, and opportunities. Although we cannot have everything as and when we like them, life essentially is still a simple affair. And even as often as we likely may taste the complexities of this gift in our experiences and lessons, it is my prayer we remain positive and optimistic. Therefore, in sharing the gift box of this day, may we be inspired by love and guided by divine wisdom to live, these precious moments of the goodness of life's gift to us. Take care and keep the peace. God bless your day. Greetings #KYB ✍🏿®#

Although Jean-Paul Sartre states that "Existence precedes and rules essence." The truth of matter is that our essence of living the moments is what edifies our souls. Therefore in living these moments, kindly remember our lives are essentially gifts from the Most High and the more reason we must Live it. Keep the PEACE. God bless. Greetings #KYB ✍🏿®#

The things that excites us are mostly not random. Same goes for things that annoys us daily. These things are actually connected to our purpose and the very essence of our lives. Sometimes, a deep conversation with ourselves could help reveal these simple truths. Other times, an intimate moment of encounter with God is all we need to understand the basics of our lives. Even though, it risk being a noisy funfair, please find space to reconnect with this essence and bless others with your kindness. Today, there is need to revisit this essence even as we relive the beauty of this day. Kindly accept my Seasonal Greetings to you. Wishing you HOPE, JOY & PEACE. God bless. #KYB ✍🏿®#

Sometimes, it's subtle but other times it's loud. On a daily basis, we make or meet friends at different locations, places or at various events. Sometimes we aren't able to get in touch, because of our commitments, busy schedules and tight engagements. But beyond our genuine reasons for our inability to frequently meet and chat, perhaps we have to make some time to connect or reconnect and catch up with some updates or issues we yearn to talk about. Let's not lose time or miss this opportunity to reignite our friendship. Even as we do so, please let's seek balance in our relationship and let's be motivated and governed by a genuine sense of responsibility in our relations with humanity and our environment.  Good morning  🍇🥬 #KYB ✍🏿®#

The future of our development would be piecemeal if we continue to add concrete upon blocks, without tunning our efforts to improve the quality of our lives. While cultivating an urgent sense of care for ourselves and others, we need to also pay attention to our inner values, even as we try to be warm towards one another. In our efforts to build credible relationships, and serve our common good, we are more than capable of being wonderful things, because we are equipped with intelligence and the potential for developing critical bridges of care, which would help create lasting support system to sustain our well-being. To advance this kind of development, we need to simply interrogate our inner motivation and find our inner values, which could help us grow that collective commitment to model a social system to better serve us. Beyond social interventions with beautiful goals, there is a human being who need care. There an environment that needs to be protected and preserve to sustai

Without organic care and well-intentioned solidarity, life will be a very difficult or an impracticable venture. Thus, whenever we show a filial concern for others or reach out to our fellow human beings, we are living this duty to spread authentic smile in this mile. Today, even though it is a bit hard to live this virtue, due to the economic challenges, we are still encouraged to try to share in this call of showing care. This is because the very act of caregiving is a critical function to our survival. Indeed, genuine care and compassion do not only give us inner strength but greatly help us to reduce our fear and boosts our confidence to still live in peace and keep our hopes alive. Please be good and stay blessed. Greetings. #KYB ✍®#

Me: Congrats, Cee. That was a good fight. (With a teasing look at the loser) Cee: Thank you. ( while panting for breath) Me: How do you feel like the new 'village' champion, after beating our former title holder? Him: Errrh! Please, please, stop it. Am not the village champion. I am not interested in your titles. Just let me be. That guy was a bully and was misbehaving. And he needs to know his level... That's was a mock report from the village playground account, years ago.   That Friday, the unassuming lanky and agile Cephas, floored a well fed and stout looking Kofi, who carried himself as the unbeatable Village Champion for years. But after his defeat, he learned how to be humble, at least when the new champion was around or passed by. Today, it's common for you and me to spot similar characters like Kofi, who parade themselves on our streets or carry themselves around as champions in their respective disciplines. This is not to say it's bad in

In the contours and curves of life, There are several happenings on the undulating path that could kill your love and hope. There are predators and people who can cause you to stop caring or provoke you to stop loving. But if you live today, PLEASE Take care you don't lose hope. Take care you don't lose faith. Take care you don't lose focus. Take care you don't lose steam. Take care of your spirituality. Take care of your wellbeing. Take care of your integrity. Kindly, take care of your dreams, because they are worth living. Take care of your life because it is still a precious gift to behold. Take care of your family and those who were for you. Take care of those who are on the fringes of our streets. Wishing you a wonderful mid-week. God bless. #KYB ✍®#

Healthy service to humanity, minus harm is a critical need today.  But to achieve this, we have to cultivate a good sense of compassion and a genuine concern for the wellbeing of our neighbours. That way, we would be building a more peaceful, happy and stable world. Do have a blessed week. Greetings #KYB ✍®#

As the sun sleeps in the dark clouds of the night, let's be mindful of obstacles on the bumpy roads of our lives, including the "valleys in our virtue deficiency", "curves in our faith inconsistency" and the hills in our pride to serve one another. May we be filled with the fruit of righteousness and our love and knowledge, be increased in order to discern what is of value, and right for our wellbeing and our spiritual growth. Good night. #KYB ✍®#

Await a happy dawn, whenever the evening voice sings in amber. Anticipate a good day when the evening breeze winks at you. And please remember to tighten your evening bolt with a prayer of gratitude. Do have a peaceful night. Bless your soul. #KYB ✍🏿®#

From the farms of our toil, From the farms of our hope, From the farms of our works, We are blessed with a bountiful harvest and wonderful meals cooked in our kitchens. In eating from the farms of our kitchen, we are assured of sumptuous meals daily. However, the tempting invitation to drink and eat to quench our thirst and hunger, make us forget our farmers. But in thanking our chefs for displaying their culinary skills to prepare the many meals, we have to thank our farmers too for their efforts. They don't just deserve our salutation but our appreciation. But it's not enough to just recognise our farmers with national awards scheme. Indeed, the planting for food and jobs, and rearing for food and jobs is a good move by the government, but we have to ensure its success and make the programme more inclusive. To appreciate our Farmers better, we have to rethink our land tenure system and how we lessen the challenges associated with acquiring land for our farms.

In telling the stories of miracles and how we even manage to wake from our sleep; In analysing the intricate web, as well as the near-death or harrowing experiences we go through and how we have survived to this hour; With the happenings within, and around us, and how we have scaled through, it's by God's sustaining grace. It's true God cares and is very concerned. But how He manages to do this and still guides us through those tests and momentary changes to keep us going, remains a mystery. Indeed, were we to understand all His ways, then He ceases to be God. If we are able to predict His ways then He's no longer that awe-inspiring God. Sometimes our plans are thrown off gear and yet He brings us to His humbling way, and to the watershed of new beginnings that we might not have thought of. So if He is guiding you through, and the path remains unclear or confusing, just relax, remain calm and entrust yourself under His care and pray for deeper insight. What you

Sometimes a silent prayer is good to get going. Other times a defiant positive hope is needed to keep walking and moving. Likewise, an assurance that the ever loving God still cares, and will make a way from nowhere, is much needed today to inject in us a discipline to stay focus in these times and keep our heads up. So please stay alive and be safe. Be blessed in your endeavours Greetings. #KYB ✍🏿®#

It's during the sign of peace when this young lady at one of the Church visited, avoided my greetings and looked at me someway as if to ask 'ain't you cultured? The other day, I encountered this bus conductor who won't take the fair from me, just because I was giving the money to him with my left hand. I could see from his body language how remorseful he was after I alighted. But there was one dedicated teacher at the Savelugu School for the D eaf, who interpreted the scripture readings to her pupil at every Church service with the sign language. And I really loved the way she and her colleagues organised these lads to sketch the birth of Jesus, play. Although the cast showed their brilliance and made a case that  they were still capable and able to do something worthwhile with their lives, it is the care, commitment and dedication of this lady and many caregivers out there gives, that fills my heart with courage that our society could still do more to reduce the st

In this season of Advent and in anticipation of new beginnings; In this preparatory moments of our hearts and minds, we are obliged to keep our thoughts and feelings concerning Divine life in order. So, let's strive to live our purpose as peaceful, positive and practical as possible, even as we steer our thoughts and experiences in perpetual readiness for the divine truth. May God who has kept us safe, increase our patience, endurance and our faith to continue being the people He wants us to be. May your prayers be answered and may God's glory shine upon your life. Keep your hope alive. God bless you. #KYB ✍🏿®#

There's a growing need to ensure our well-being daily. There's a desperate craze for the latest technology that prolongs our lives. Technology is fairly good, minus its negative effects on us. However, whether technology is good or bad, it's important not to be enslaved to it Today, it is vital to be concerned about your life. It's important to be concerned about your health, your environment and how it affects you. It is key to show concern to others especially those who are most in need of the succour of your friendly warmth. In fact, by showing concern others, does not mean we forgo fulfilling our own needs, but rather, those little deeds help create mutual benefit for our own good. Indeed, to serve humanity in a more dignified way, our real motive in this venture should be inspired by love. So, blessed friend, let's consciously cultivate a sense of oneness of humanity, in order to serve each other well. God bless you. Good day #KYB ✍🏿®#

After carefully examining this Akanasuma radio set that regularly fed the household with news, I wondered where the speakers were? So I was told i asked where these guys were? I was still curious to know how the radio worked, when managed to dismantle my mum's red stereo cum radio set, when it was misbehaving some years later. In fact, after slapping one mini sunny sound system, belonging to my old boy, after continuously sounding too nasal, I had to operate upon it to fix it. So I did and finally destroyed this 1988 set in the process.   Interestingly, it was in 2007, when I joined the production unit of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, Radio session as an intern, that I got a clearer insight on what goes into radio transmission, as well as what goes on behind the console and in the production unit. It was then I fully appreciated the efforts of the Producers, the Technicians, Engineers among others, who ensure that the voices of the Journalists, news anchors, the host and

Chronic or constant stress has gained notoriety in our society today. Stress from noises from our streets, market centres and churches; the daily heavy vehicular traffic on our roads, coupled with stress from our relationships, or from heavy workload, and stress exacerbated by the frustration from our institutions and systems, as well as pressures or demands from our society to do this or that,  subtly affect our wellbeing. For some time now, our weekends are no longer suitable for relaxation, neither are the numerous holidays enough for our relaxation. This is because of our numerous social commitments. It is therefore common to see the average Ghanaian worker already tired on Mondays of all days. In fact, from our current social arrangements, it's becoming impossible to escape stress, which follows us everywhere we go, due to our many engagements. Interestingly, Healthbeat (a publication by Harvard University) reports that stress triggers a wide range of health issues, incl

Never be discouraged by the antics of opposition. But be at peace with yourself, and keep your focus in doing what you know is right. Wishing you a beautiful day. Be blessed. Greetings #KYB ✍🏿®#

The morning was mildly warm with this teary dry breeze, tickling the leaves of the trees in the neighbourhood on that Thursday. It was one of the happy holidays when school was on recess. And after hurriedly finishing the chores, yours sincerely went out to holiday. The thought of riding a bicycle was exciting. So, I mounted one troublesome  'buzanga' bicycle to have a ride on that day. This was after bargaining with the owner who was hiring the bikes, for my choice of the newest mountain bike. But he won't release that bike, because my little savings for the week, couldn't meet the fee the guy was charging for hiring the mountain bike. So, I reluctantly settled for the other tired but resilient 'buzanga' bike. I moved on the newly shaved feeder road linking the town to the hospital city and hastily paddled the bike to gather speed, I needed to climb down the hill. Just when I was about climbing down the small hill at the outskirt of the city, a

There was one catechist Yaw, who always asked us to listen to and be obedient to our parents. I remember asking him whether we should still be obedient even when what we were asked to obey did not make sense.  My friends giggled and laughed at me, as he (the catechist) tried answering me with another question,(the Ghanaian way). But since I was hungry and wanted the class to end, I couldn't afford to expend my little energy on that argument. Often, during the penultimate round of the televised Science & Maths Quiz, for Science Student in our secondary schools,  the Quiz Mistress usually asks the contestant to listen with rap attention for the set of riddle questions. Similarly, in our various homes and institutions too, we are entreated to listen or is it obey instructions and orders.  The case is same in our lives too, as we are supposed to also listen carefully to not only the rhythms of life, but to the music, the cries, the unsaid truths, and the messages fr

As an offshoot of divine providence, we are endowed with spiritual and intellectual resources, which we are required to utilised in serving humanity. With the privilege to live the grace in this new day, we are obliged to breathe new vitality in our best values. So, let's be willing to keep the valuable parts of our heritage and make the best of this moment. Please accept my best wishes for this day. God bless you. #KYB ✍🏿®#

A friend shared with me how God has been so good to him in the last few weeks and I thank God for his mercies. However, in a sublime way, the thought of our relatives, family and friends, as well as the many people walking in the towns, cities and towns came to mind. The thought stretched to our people  on the fringes of our society and I asked, so who takes care of all of us? How are we able to live these experiences and still able to walk? It still baffles me how we manage to survive through these storms and are able to smile in our stroll. Miracles exist and I know God is still in the miracle business every moment. Perhaps that's why I disagreed with my friend, when he recounted how God's miracle was profound in his life last week. May be these miracles might be subtle and normal that we often don't consider them as such or take them for granted.   But truth be told, the God factor in all our endeavours is very relevant in our survival every minute. It is there

Every day comes with its unique problems and challenges. Everyone has their share of the problems to deal with, but since there are always problems to face, we could help ourselves by proffering solutions to these problems. There are some gargantuan problems that need huge efforts and there are medium and little ones we can handle at our levels.   Since problems will always be there for us to solve, we all have a duty to generate solutions. But we suffer mostly because of our impatience to properly think through alternative actions while keeping our cool when trying to address the problem. We know of others who refer to their pillows for solutions and others resorting to friends or wise people or alternative views. Yet, others prefer to drink over their problems, or act victim over their problem instead of taking steps to address them. But the real challenge has been our approaches in handling these problems. Some of which include the firefighting approach, the wait-and-see appro

Respect your fellow human beings and dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good. Awake your consciousness and decide to do something that will benefit your society. Be kind and give assistance whenever, and wherever needed. Take care of your health, mind and your well-being, while you take responsibility for your actions. As you live the values today, please stay ever close to your God. God bless your day.🍇🍒 Greetings #KYB ✍🏿®#

With a boyish confidence which enveloped us in the cloth of innocence, we walked the mile of grace. Though we did not know much then, we never disappointed in our quest to survive. We were certainly not saints in our efforts to scale the challenges the big boys or life generally posed, but we lived. And since I am not a saint, I know I might have stepped on some toes in the course of this walk. So, to those I have wronged intentionally and unintentionally, I ask for pardon. To those who tasted my gentle roughness, and those I might have ignored or been unfair to, I implore your pardon.  Finally, to those people in my life who have skillfully used the game of power and privilege to manipulate, abuse and to take advantage of my vulnerability, and caused me pain over the years; To those who were impatient with me and misjudged my intentions and actions; To those who pretended to care but took advantage of me, with some misrepresenting the facts with embellished lies to m

Of the thousands of spectators who cheer or shout the loud chants of g-o-o-o-o-a-l in every football game; Of the many who become disappointed or hurt when the score lines go against their team or their candidate disappoints in any contest; our coaches and coaches who express their opinions criticise and offers what they think is the best solution. Sometimes one becomes confused listening to these question with varied suggestions. Sometimes it even becomes annoying trying to digest all their recommendations. But I guess that why God gave us two ears in order to hear and listen to them and think through our options or actions. However you see it, in our lives too, there are coaches, mentors and concern people as well as inspires or motivators who speak into our lives and constantly encourage us to get going. Although every spectator may appear to be a coach, there are few genuine ones who go the extra mile to celebrate with us and loyal enough to walk with us when the going gets tou

Every moment someone is travelling by air, water and land. On land, road or vehicular transport accounts for about 75% transportation, with rail transport making up the rest. Aside from the rough and inconvenient road network, which make road transport unpleasant in Ghana. Road and Traffic Accident (RTA) has become a problematic issue and a major source of morbidity and mortality with costly implications. Current statistics on road accidents and road related deaths are scaring. The colossal loss and discomfort caused hundreds of thousands maimed through accidents cannot be quantified. Globally, an estimated 1.2 million road users are involved in accidents. The situation is not different in Afrika. From January to September 2018, the Ghana National Road Safety Commission (NRSC) reports 10051 crashes of 16,281 Vehicles, with 1,710 fatalities and 9973 injuries. Between the same period, 194 deaths have been reported on the Madina-Adenta highway and another death yesterday. A close l

Yaw was seriously licking his fingers while wiping the sweat trickling down his face with his cream handkerchief when I got to the Noah's arch Canteen that warm afternoon. There was a mild queue of young famish guys waiting for their turn to place their order. I had wanted to join but thought I could share some pleasantries with Yaw. Monetarily, I saw this sunburnt fellow waved at the waiter to give him the transparent miniature toothpick bottle on an adjacent table so he could remove the stubborn piece of meat that got stuck in the gaps of his kola-stained teeth. His facial expression and that of calm Yaw was enough proclamation of a good meal. And I surmised they really enjoyed the meal. There are days we fast from food but the truth is that we all eat to live and grow. Sometimes we only enjoy the meals without appreciating the chefs through who's culinary skills the meals are prepared to quench our hunger. Often time, it's painful after going through the tr

Experiences are worth keeping because of the lessons they teach us. Every teacher that encourages and guides us on the path of learning something new is worth remembering. Sometimes, it takes one of them to spot our talents and help us polish them. Those who go the extra mile to inspire and provoke us to think outside the box have earned our respect with their footprint still registering in our hearts. Those who taunted the innocence in our mischief too, we remember.  Some earned our displeasure but were we supposed to like all of them? In any case, the experiences gave us a yardstick to acknowledge the good ones. Another grade of teachers who deserve mention is our schoolmates and seniors. Some of these colleagues who were unrepentantly naughty were fun to be around. But there are those who graduated from being mere colleagues into good friends. Through all these interactions, one thing is clear that our school, sophomore and social teachers spread throughout the various stage

Often time, when we celebrate our mothers and fathers, for their care,  sacrifices and commitment to guiding our way here, we seldom mention their collaborators and those who supported our growth. Permit me to acknowledge the Traditional Birth Attendants(TBAs), the Midwives, Nurses, Doctors, the Orderlies and the farmers, herbalists and family members through whose support we arrived on earth. In a special way too, it's important we remember our benefactors and benefactress, as well as our loved ones and friends, who provide with the critical social support for our survival here. Sometimes their invaluable time spent on end just to listen to us is incredible. In spite of their personal challenges, these persons are still willing to offer a listening ear and would risk being there when you need them most. Again, there are also the good Samaritans and those who qualify as angels who appear in our lives at the right time and in the right moment, with their support. So, if some of

In the continuous journey of life, And in the roles actors played yesterday, we have inched closer to this present age and the age beyond. While thanking God for the gift of their lives, our ancestors deserve a place in our hearts for their toils and sacrifices. They deserve commendation wherever their souls and spirit may be. Remembering their good deeds and the roles they played in maintaining the chain of continuity in this procreation business is in order. It's proper to, therefore, remember them not because of their flawless past, but because of their resilience, their faith and the wisdom they courted to live and share their DNA with us. So kindly thank those illustrious daughters and sons of our land, the pacesetters and the ancestors of our fathers, as well as all the committed people who we have long forgotten. Please extend my gratitude to them wherever they may be. Perhaps as part of our gratitude to them, we can also take care of our environment, preserve the v

Be positive and strong in life, Be strong and optimistic even in your weakness, Be candid and tactful in your dealings, Be patient and flexible in your ways, And be humble and meek in your dispositions. Be ready for the journey this day, Be prepared to go the extra mile in your engagements, Be willing to correct the ills and celebrate the good in others today, Be cheerful and careful in your walk here.  Besides, let's endeavor to feed our souls, even as we nourish our bodies for the work ahead. May God be kind to us and uplift our spirits to live and lead good lives. God bless your day.  -KYB   

Opportunities abound. But in the transition of days, Sometimes taking cognizance of lessons, bliss and joyful feelings in the transient moment of a day is vital.

Is there something you can't stay without? What are you attached to? What are your addictions? Recent reports say some of our youth are having a tremendous treat with a certain trap called 'tramor'. Aside from causing temporary tremors in their thinking, and tricking them to trek that treacherous path, our society risks managing huge numbers of addicts tomorrow. In fact, addiction is a social challenge now, because most of us have subtly become attached to or are over indulgent in certain material things that are tampering other sectors of our lives. It's possible that we are attached to our phones, certain foods, some habits or other material things. We know those who are also addicted to alcohol, cigar, tobacco, glue, Tramadol, Indian hemp television, video games, sex, jewels, money among others. In our excessive attachments, we inadvertently become enslaved by these things. It's a challenge retreating from some of these things, but it's still a

Care and affection are not just subtle necessities for our lives but are crucial elements in our journey here. The role of gratitude in this equation is to enliven and activate these vital ingredients to work together with generous Divine Providence to sustain and support our lives. It is therefore with these sentiments of gratitude that I'd like to thank you for the part you continue to play in this space, and also acknowledge the care and affection you offer to humanity. In the way, do kindly convey my gratitude to all our Teachers wherever they may be and to all our numerous caregivers, especially those we might have forgotten. TGIF. God bless. #KYB ✍🏿®#

It's still cheerful to walk in the sunshine of hope. So be blessed to live the lessons this day. Good morning. #KYB#

I woke up with a cherished tune on my lips. It's a piece of song that kept replaying in my mind. It was a beautiful note that I still hear from within. But to make meaning of it, I guess I have to listen carefully to every part of the music. Often, we also hear this musical notes, repeat in our minds daily. We hear it sang in every part of our lives. But when we listen carefully we would hear and know the purpose of the sounds. Sometimes we just have to make time to listen to the rhythms and music of our heartbeats. Even when you can't find your voice in this songs, please do listen to the stillness and the positive vibration of energy glowing through the songs. Be blessed. Best wishes to you.

In between our numerous activities in the moments of a day, In between our busy lineups for the weekend, please do make time for yourself. As you spend some time with others, please make space to connect with yourself today. As you make time for the vital people in your life, please spare some time to interact with yourself too. This is needed because its value is too precious to ignore.  Do have a wonderful weekend. God bless you. Good morning #KYB ✍🏿®#

Where is the end? When is the end time? Who controls this end time? Why should there be an end time? How long are we from the end time? Are we in the end times? Although, I am still trying to figure out the answers to these questions, I still want to thank you for the part you play in this space and time. It is a fact that we won't be here forever, And that we will one day vacate this space, but please permit me to acknowledge your efforts here. You are still valuable in many respects that you may not know. Please never forget this truth that your somebody someone still cares for. Never forget where you are coming from and all the experiences you've acquired all these years. Never forget your humble beginnings, even as you travel along the path of this day. Never forget about those who cared for you in those uneasy times. Never forget the little values you learn from home. And please remember to live and enjoy every moment of this day. Stay blessed.
