Annansi Chronicles is 1-year old

Kofi_It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since I started this blog. Initially Annansi Chronicles was an outlet for the ideas which I didn’t feel fit into the bi-monthly newsletters I send to my Annansi Clothing Co. customers, but as with any project it has taken on a personality of it’s own. I must admit it was hard to keep up with at first – adapting to a new platform, figuring out what to share and what to keep to myself, and juggling writing with all my other obligations – but I found that the less I tried to create a blog which fit in a pretty little package, the easier it became to develop Annansi Chronicles’ content. Though I’ve kept numerous personal journals over the years, it was hard putting my ideas out there for people who I haven’t met to critique and disagree with. But so far you guys have been very kind. I have to say thank you to all those reading this for choosing to listen to me rant and rave. I especially would like to thank all those who have taken the time to reach out to me either by leaving a comment or emailing me, for letting me know that my ideas are not so crazy after all. I hope we can all continue to share ideas and build a community that we are all proud of in one way of another.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming….
