The best relationship advice is to have the best relationship with yourself.
That was easy. You probably clicked on the link for a Holy Grail answer, well, maybe we should give you the Holy Grail answer. By now if you follow this blog, you will notice that most of the concepts are intertwined and well related. Our blog embodies concept of Love and Positivity. In this blog we will share the best relationship advice from our point of view.

Sit back and enjoy.


Let's get back to business. We have talked to a lot of people who have long lasting relationships, and some who had long lasting relationships until........ermm..
With that in mind, we went through all of the advice and perspectives we received and penciled out some and sharpened up others; also, we had no choice but to shredded some. Some people's viewpoint on relationship were unfortunately extinct, so we intentionally neglected them.



Honestly, at first, we were both nervous, but deep down within, we knew it would be worthwhile.  It was a humbling experience, very insightful, honest, worthy, and wealthy of support and assurance.

Our best advice to new couples is to get to know each other's families.  Meet them with a positive perspectives, and a poise of confidence. It's ok to be shy initially, you'll come around....It was the same for us.  We are glad that you've figured out what the best advice is.

We love taking pictures, at least a pic a day; can you imagine how many pictures we take? We know its almost insane, however, with today's technology, a beautiful Spring, Our Love, Family, Good and Blessed Health, and Great Friendships, why not keep more portraits of Love?

We have so many, so many portraits of love. Taking pictures frames the great moments we share in life in a moment in time. It's a great tool to keep the love juices brewing because it helps start conversations at any point in time. Remember when .....................? There goes an hour of a beautiful dialogue.

It's quite easy to enjoy the pictures you take with today's technology. With Apple TV and Air-Play technology we are able to photo stream all our pictures and videos. Yes, the videos do take some space, so be sure to sync them to your storage device promptly.

Taking pictures keeps us young at heart also. We took lots of pictures growing up, and we are always grateful to share those moments. Its also a wake up call to stay young and healthy. Yep! You know exactly what we mean by that. Good job! Keep that waistline.

Becoming fashionable is a prerequisite for taking great pictures. Should have told you that earlier. See, when you take a picture, it should be easier for someone to effortlessly tell a great story from all angles.  We suggest you add color,  flavor, and most importantly put some soul in your pose, keep it natural and unique. Do your best not to fake a pose, be creative and be you.

Talking about keep up fashion and staying fashionable, we recently discovered Runway Bidder, (it's on our main page) we don't have to say anymore; by all means, definitely check it out- especially the ladies. Don't blame for us for fashion addiction.

Believe it or not it's the way of the world, challenges and difficult situations are part of the equation that keeps life on a balanced scale. Some challenges are overwhelming, are worth but not worth giving up to. We can talk pages about the difficulties we've faced growing up in Ghana, living our adult lives in the States and how we have overcame most of them by doing a single thing "Not Giving Up".

Think about it, if Jesus Christ the son of God endured so much, how much more us? Moreover, He suffered so that you and us don't have to suffer. Don't Give Up, Seriously.

How do you not give up when all avenues are plaqued? How do you not give up when all you work for your life is gone? How do you not give up when the love of your life is no more ? How do you not give up when death lays its ice hands on your loved ones and family? How do you not give up when finding life/love has been more difficult than Navy Seal Obstacle Course?

Here's How.

1. If you're reading this, you are alive, you can see, you're breathing, oh my goodness you are alive!!! For these reasons, decide to live and conquer all challenges in life. Just  Close your eyes, take a deep breathe, exhale.....your hurdles can go away, no problem is permanent, and it's up to you to decide to win over the doubts in challenges. This first step is crucial, decide to win over life's challenges. You can do this. Free yourself from negativity and depressed state and get moving.

2. Prayer. When you pray, pray with purpose and believe your prayers are answered. Have a dialogue with God. Ask Him for solutions, ask Him for direction, guidance, and the strength to carry on. Key here is Believe your prayer is answered. Pray without Ceasing. Believe, believe, believe, and free yourself.

3. Utilize the right resources; family support systems, church, support groups, and the Internet. Be open to your true feelings to attract the right listeners. Build more confidence by blending 2&3. Enjoy the moment's in life, we love taking pictures, and recently we tried this  Canon EOS 7D 18.0MP Digital SLR Camera - Body Only - Digital SLR Cameras (Google Affiliate Ad), we are almost close to buying it after we shop around on other models.

Every mother's day we tell and show our love to our mother's in numerous ways. It's like a second birthday within the same year for our mother's. This mother's day, we want to do something different.

Happy Mother's day again! Just kidding.
This mothers day, we talked more about the significance of their roles in our upbringing. They shed interesting insights on their strength's and the believe in God as the ultimate stronghold for their success. We didn't turn out too bad, so we guess they are absolutely right on point.


Happy Mother's Day to our Mothers and Mothers Worldwide. You are a stronghold and the foundation to success of all children worldwide.

God Bless You All.

The sound of bargaining, the hot sun, the bumping into trader's and shoppers, the smell of fresh veggies, raw foods, the sound of bells ringing, taxi's blowing their horns, the sights of mother's with babies behind their backs, are all significant entities of a rich cultural experience at the Ghanaian market place.

We are no strangers to the Ghanaian marketplace, we've learned bargaining skills from the backs of our mothers under the mercy of the sun, and have endured countless hours of fighting against gravity from the backs of our mother's.

Depending on what time we would go to the market, and what we hoped to buy, it was always a long ordeal.  A choice we had no controll over, now looking back,  it all makes so much sense, and honestly, it is well deserved. Most of the time our experiences were interesting, and other times very time consuming. We never complained that the food we cooked from the produce we bought from the market was heavenly tasting though.

In spite of it all, each experience was different and unique. Every item  we bargained for till the seller is pushed to the wall to make a compromise. We learned that the first rule was not to bargain. You offer a price to win a bargain. Our mother's were, and still are great at this, a skill they as well learned from the spine of their mother's and grandmothers at the marketplace.

The experiences created a ravishing bond and we have learned  to appreciate what our parents have endured to feed our impatient tongue and blessed souls, furthermore, we  understand the sacrifices they made for love. God bless our parents for the sacrifices they made to put food on our plates, and to feed us bread when we asked for it.

Amazingly, on some day's the marketplace were quiet, and there would be less customer's, therefore, on days like that, we would  enjoy running around under the telescopic eyes of our mothers; the best  part was that we would get anything we would ask for; from ice-cream to "toffee's".
In the midst of the hot sun and noise, sometimes, the rain would smile at us, and our skin would blend with the sweat from the sun, still our mother's would make no excuses to fulfill their quest to provide food for the family. Philosophically, food entails, comfort, love, discipline, teaching, nurturing and mentoring.

Adore and Love the Sacrifices of Your Parents
Love Always,
