You won't believe this! I spent 3 hours writing a blog post three days ago that was titled "are there any lovemarks in Ghana"?. And then my browser crashed and I lost it! Complicated how I lost all of it. But my God! 3 hours! I usually don't spend that much time on a single post. But this one just kept getting longer and better so I kept going. It was about brands, my favorites, and things that make me happy. Anyway, I just closed my laptop and went to bed. Now i'm sorry i'm the only one who learned anything from that blog post but it made me laugh a lot. So it wasn't a complete loss. I can't bring myself to rewrite it though.I fear it won't be anywhere as good. I won't be laughing when I'm writing it the second time around, it will feel like work and those posts are never any good. If it feels like work, i'm not doing it. I already have a 9-5 :) So yeah, that's that.
We're gonna have to wait for the next blog post ...by a guest blogger....titled...what it feels like to be half-co in Ghana. Yay! Haven't you ever wondered? These halfco kids...what does it feel like to be them?
Patience.
If I don't have it by noon tomorrow, I'll post the first in my series of 10 blog posts, which talks about lessons I've learnt from living in Ghana. It's been exactly a year and a half since my return home. So I have 10 posts, each talking about life lessons I've learned in my 18 months here.
Watch this space.
Peace+Love,
Esi
Will this be written by Jerry Rawlings? I think if you ask nicely, he will illuminate the subject :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, it didn't cross my mind, but wouldn't that be out of this world? Does anyone have JJ's contact? We could ask. Who knows?

ReplyDeleteI would direct you to his house but I hear he (erm it) recently went up in flames.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can get Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey or Hannah Tetteh (Min. of Trade & Industry) to weigh-in.

What's a lovemark?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous. A lovemark is any brand which exceeds its brand promise. It goes over and above what the consumer expects. The concept came from Saatchi and Saatchi. For a brand to be a lovemark, it has to score highly on respect and love. For example, I respect UT financial, but I don't love it so it's not my lovemark. Converse Allstars on the other hand is a brand I both respect and love. Love to the point where if the company decided to stop manufacturing those shoes, I could see myself writing a letter to plead with them to reconsider their decision. Same for India Arie. There's a website dedicated to this. You can read more about it here: http://www.lovemarks.com/
