Circumspecte

"For the spirit of Christmas fulfills the greatest hunger of mankind."     - Loring A. Schuler It's about that time of year when we reflect on everything that happened or did not happen and take stock of where we might be in relation to our goals, dreams, growth etc. If you're one who makes new year resolutions - and even if you're not - and still have "make a difference" on your list, then you might want to check out Project Drive-By - a non-profit initiative by LifestylzGH and feedForever which aims to spread the love and good cheer this Christmas season. Other sponsors include iStandAbove , TicketGhana.com , REACH Ghana , Heel the World, DailyGuideGhana.com. The project is exactly what its name says: driving by less fortunate areas of Accra to provide a meal or two to an estimated 300-400 people, while sharing some good times and ushering in the new year as one. In the spirit of the season, I couldn't have come up with a better id...

Hi Everyone! C'est moi! I just wanted to touch base with all you wonderful Circumspectors real quick. Over the holidays, I'll be doing research on the newest social media to incorporate those stuff on here. I've got sooooo  many ideas and I can't wait to experience the new stuff with y'all. What Do You Want To See On Circumspect? Since this is a forum for information-sharing, I'd like to get your ideas on this. What would you like to see on the site? Any topics you'd like me to blog on? Are you itching to find out something? Any other blogs I should be checking out? Do you want more of the serious stuff, philosophical insights, or just laid-back every day news. Send me all the juicy info. In the past, some of you have suggested blog topics to me, and I've happily obliged - See Obama in Ghana and Personal Statement . I'm looking to amp that up in 2010 by including sections on the site where it's all about you peeps, your thoughts, experie...

My aunt just forwarded this to me, and I decided to share with y'all - going w/ the whole end-of-year-time-for-reflection theme. The insert below was written by Regina Brett (Columnist with The Plain Dealer) and was copied from Cleveland.Com . I find them to be very inspiring and great advice! I did a similar post when I turned 23 . Enjoy! -- Regina Brett's 45 life lessons and 5 to grow on By  Regina Brett May 28, 2006, 10:13AM To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolls over to 50 this week, so here's an update: 1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. It's more heal...

Howdy everyone! It's about that time of the year, when its mad crazy at school, work, with life in general, and everything's winding down because a huge event is around the corner: New Year!!! And in true new year fashion, most people make resolutions. My New Year came early this year -- at least, as far as my body/mind clock is concerned. Which is pretty weird, cos I start feeling all sentimental and reflective around my birthday -- that's my real new year anyway. But this time around, I've shifted into clean-up,-reflect-and-make-new-decisions mode early. Guess I'm tryna beat the traffic. Anyways. To the point. In A Nutshell 2009 has been a roller coaster ride. So many major events happened, and there were extreme highs and lows. From finalizing and receiving my B.A. to thinking I couldn't possibly find a job in this recession, to having to say "see you later" to wonderful college friends, to staying an extra three months in beautiful Mount Holyok...
