How to be a #GIRLBOSS

Hey world!

You are welcome back to my blog. If you are new to this blog, you are so welcome. Make sure to bookmark this blog, or subscribe by email.

I have been reading Sophia Amoruso’s #GIRLBOSS. I am not done reading, but I love the book. There are so many things that we can learn from the book. Apart from telling her stories, she has beautiful quotes and doodles that can motivate you to keep you going.

I hope to finish reading the book, so that I can write a review about it.

Sophia Amoruso says; “A #GIRLBOSS is someone who’s in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it.” She also said that, life is short. Don’t be lazy.

The first time I heard the word, I was in love with it. Girl Boss……a word, I put at the back of my mind to be wherever I go.

To my opinion, a girl boss is someone who has a set of characteristics and qualities I have defined. If I had the chance to write a book on how to be a #GIRLBOSS, here would be the ways of becoming one….

1. A girl boss has dreams

If you want to be a girl boss, you have to dream big. Dream bigger than your Pinterest boards, have a vision of living the life you want to live.

2. A girl boss sets goals.

In other to achieve your dream, you have to set goals. Goals help you in getting to the life you want to live. If you want to be a writer, you need to set a goal of writing a piece every day in the morning. If you want to lose weight, you have to set a goal of exercising 3 times in a week.

3. Do want you love

Do you love dancing? Then dance! No one should prevent you from dancing. If you love wildlife, you can volunteer in wildlife clubs. If you love to farm, you can start a little backyard garden and dream of having great farms one day. Do what makes you happy and brings you positive feedback.

4. A girl boss is creative.

Be creative. Let your ways of doing things be creative and unique. Find ways of doing things differently. Doing things as others are doing would be different. Stand out and people would appreciate that.

5. Do not look down on yourself.

Do you feel you are not doing great as you should, or do you have a voice in your head telling you you are not good enough? Do not listen to that voice and look down on yourself. If you have trouble with that, I suggest you memorize positive affirmations that makes you kick butt.

6. Forget Competition

Do not ever think of being a girl boss and seeing yourself as better than someone. In cases where there are so many people in your department pursuing the same goal, do not take that chance of becoming better than your competitor. Forget competition, or else you might not get the results you want to get.

Let’s chat: How do you define #girlboss in your own words and understanding?

Phenomenal Woman, That's Her

Maya Angelou, my phenomenal woman.
 Last year, Mummy and I were talking about her, Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé and some other black women who have made great and positive influence in the world. After about an hour, I was doing my usual surfing of the internet and read that, she died an hour ago.

Ohh.......bless her. What? Unbelievable. We just mentioned her name.

Maya was a very wonderful woman. Though I never met her in person, I know it. I was attracted to her by her poems, then her personality. She was one of my major influences in poetry and I'm grateful that I got to hear of her.
These are some of her quotes. Hope you take them to heart.

I know for sure that love saves me and that it is here to save us all

I've learnt that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel

I am a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change the, change your attitude

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.


Below is also a poem by her.
Many and More
There are many and more
who would kiss my hand,
taste my lips,
to my loneliness lend
their bodies ' warmth.

I have want of a friend.

There are few, some few,
who would give their names
and fortunes rich
or send first sons
to my ailing bed

I have need of a friend

There is one and only one
who will give the air
from his failing lungs
for my body's mend

And that one is my love

Happy New Month

Happy new month everyone! I hope you are all excited about the new month. Those of you who are still keeping their New Year resolutions, well done. And those of you who have flop…… umm, well, it’s not too late. You can come back.

Anyway, I’m so excited about the new month because, this month is all about women. Join me to celebrate women all over the world.

Not only that, my country, Ghana is going to be 57 years old on the 6^th of March and the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is also celebrating their 172^nd anniversary.

And for me, my personal goal for this month is to learn to be a woman of dignity.

What are your goals for the month? Please share.
