DOTTS

DOTTS is a DreamOval foundation initiative which stands for Dreamoval Thought Transfer series is a monthly event that focuses on bridging the knowledge gap though sharing of thought through conversation and participation. 

This concept stems from one of the core principles upon which the DreamOval Foundation was founded; Knowledge creation, Sharing and Utilization.

DOTTS works to share the vision with the outside world through a series of open and frank discussions. Every month, DOTTS invites a special guest from all walks of life to speak on their work, life and experience. The DreamOval Foundation believes that in every area of work and though, there is wisdom to be gained by the whole.

Since its inception DOTTS has had a number of personalities including Professor Kofi Agyekum, who shared his thoughts on "Our language and National Development"; Emeritus Prof. J.H. Kwabena Nketia who talked about "Contemporary African folklore music and the challenges in the digital age". Others include Professor Dolphyne, Ghana’s first female professor and first female pro-vice chancellor of the University of Ghana, Her Ladyship Mrs. Justice Gertrude Torkornoo; justice of the court of appeal of Ghana and other prominent personalities.

Guess who we are having for the October edition of DOTTS? Ghana's Numero Uno, Mr. Kwaku Sintim Misa (KSM),this Friday, 30th October at Paloma Hotel,Spintex Road

Lost In My Thoughts

I can only stare at my screen for a while.....look through the transparent glass window just with a tilt of my neck over my shoulders...through the window i see the untarred dusty road.The weather is windy and dusty with a lot of hustling on the streets.

I say to myself, "...The hustle is so real". Over the last couple of days or weeks i would always get home after 10:00 pm after leaving home at 5:00 am  Isn't that my own hustle too? I come back to watch my screen and i remember i have to post something on my blog at least so you know how my day is going.

Its been a very busy morning, moving up and down. Right now i sit here with some music playing in my ears through my earphone (for once am not listening to country music) and eeerrmm i wish i had the Beats headphones. Music through those are just wow! i borrowed a colleagues and it was mwuach!

Okay so back to what i was saying...where was i? Oh yes!... i remember. You see earlier today i watched a video where Quvenzhane Wallis was interviewed. For those of you who are not familiar with the name, she was the Lead Actress in the movie "Annie".(I can watch that movie over and over again) She actually became the youngest Actress to ever receive  nomination for the Academy awards.

Yeah about her interview in the video, Quvenzhané Wallis said something that got me thinking and i quote: "Be Confident. Dont let anything get your way. And if you go for something and there is something in your way, just go around it and find your way back because trust me, you will get there"

After i heard that from one of the youngest actresses i have known....i just breathed a sigh of relief. I felt she was talking to me.

You know mostly, especially in our society we grow up with very little or no confidence until you grow up and develop yourself with the amount of confidence you probably need. Whenever we set our minds to something and an obstacle gets in our way, we get stuck, confused and begin to loose hope. Actually that makes us human you know? Until we make a decision to strive on to get whatever we set our minds to.

Today, i drew so much inspiration from Annie...i call her "Annie" because trust me i will have to rehearse her name a couple of times before i can get it right. well she said her nickname is Cue...so i can say i drew so much inspiration from Cue. Enthused with so much confidence, has her own style of expressing herself and boi she's intelligent! I ended up tearing up after listening to Tomorrow.(A song originally done by Sia but was featured in Annie)...

Wow it looks like i wasn't lost in my thoughts after all...Really that's how my days has been so far. Am glad i was able to type something after it all.

How about if you shared with me how your day went? :-)

Much Love,

Ese

Act Of Random Kindness

Hello guys, i know its been a long while. i actually have had lot to fill you in with. I have really missed you all. the middle of this year towards the end has really been a bit tough and stressful i am not able to link up and tell you all i have been up to. i promise to make it up for sure :-)

Love is not patronizing and charity isn’t about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same, with charity you give love, so don’t just give money but reach out your hand instead.

Over the weekend, a group of which i am a member of on social media, decided to embark on a donation project that we have been planning for a while now. This is actually not the first donation we have had, but this weekends, had a lot of people on board which made it very interesting, fun and fulfilling. 

The chosen orphanage we decided to visit was Missionaries of Charity, located in Tema. We all met at the Accra Mall so that it will be easier to get to Tema since a couple of guys had cars.

In short, the donation was a success and we were glad we finally were able to execute this that we have planned all along. 

God bless you all members of GHR!!!

Not rich with money, but rich in heart.

CHANGE THE WORLD BY DOING ONE ACT OF RANDOM KINDNESS AT A TIME :-)

Better days are ahead

....loyalty fades under pressure and there are very few ones out there willing to fight for you...but they

 are out there. Your past isn't the end of the world, better things are installed. You just have to fight 

for them. Don't give a thrill to people who delight in watching you suffer. Better days are ahead.
