Ahhhh I needed to take a break after my first blog entry. Life has been real weird lately. I lost a loved one and totally underestimated the effect it would have one me. Thought I was fine till I had unexplained health issues which doctors couldn’t explain or understand. I guess my quest to understand God and spiritually was accelerated somewhat after this loss.
I have had to change my diet and rethink almost every aspect of my life. As an April baby I’ll be a true drama queen and say the diet change is killing me. Just imagine not being able to have the food you’ve grown up cooking and enjoying. Mehn, you should have seen my face when my dietician said, ‘ I think you’ll benefit from a microbiotic diet’ my reply was – ‘but that’s what Gwyneth Paltrow eats’... ‘but she is skinny and white’. What I really wanted to say was – woman! Is you crazy! Oh Lord the trauma! Then start shaking violently.
I had so many questions, like what happens to my Waakye, Kenkey and Hausa Koko. In true fighter style I had to get over it, but as a result I have developed serious resentment for anyone who enjoys food around me(mainly, my husband).
On a positive note, I come to understand my psyche, what/who makes me tick and how my body is connected with all parts of me. So this blog has taken a new direction. I will be talking about life experiences and recent changes to all areas of my life. As I promised earlier, it won’t be a diary. It’ll be more of lessons learned, failures and an opportunity for my reader to interact with me.
