First of all, my very first comment has to be that you're an incredible writer. I deeply enjoyed this essay from start to end; I hummed, smiled and nodded my way through your storytelling. I'm now excited to read through the rest of the essays in this series, so thank you for such visceral writing. I also want to comment on how much of your experiences I resonate with. I especially felt joyful when I read how you rediscovered your love for life (and life's love for you). Can't wait to read more! And Ghana is actually a country next on my list, I can't wait to add that pin and see it for myself.
Wow, thank you for the kind words! It means so much. Just launched my Substack and still very much trying to find my footing, so the affirmations are welcomed and appreciated. I look forward to reading and engaging with your work, as it seems we process the world in a similar way! If you want any tips on Ghana, just let me know! Thank you again for the support.
Kenya, west beach Mombasa changed me from the inside out.
In 1984, I lived in an open hut right on the beach for 6 months -the sand floor, water spigot, the huge sun and moon, geckos, sun up 6 am/sundown 6 pm. The ocean roar my lullaby. I was an air balloon safari guide for Kenya Airways. Most magical isolated experience. The beautiful people, the breathtaking country, the elephants, giraffes, cheetahs running, the red sand and the smell of heat from the earth. What a humbling gift to be there.
Australia snd South Africa on my bucket list, and want to revisit Greece and Portugal.
