This Thanksgiving I had breakfast with my neighbors – fifty plus years of marriage, proven ministry, children and numerous grandchildren. We had delicious escovitch fish [with cassava bammy]- a Jamaican staple. While we dined and chatted – I soaked in wisdom. Listening attentively, my heart grabbed a hold of something I have experienced but neverContinue reading “Seated With the Wise”

Wednesday’s Wisdom
This morning I came across a clip on a post from ‘Turning Point’. It resonated so much with me – I think it’s worth repeating. This is a lesson I was taught a few years back as I discovered how we allow others to take us to unhealthy places. We give people permission to makeContinue reading “Wednesday’s Wisdom”

Where I Belong
Ever felt out of place? Too many times to mention. I am female. I am an immigrant. I don’t cuss, smoke nor drink hard liquor. I don’t tolerate the complaining spirit well. I prefer calm to chaos and unwanted noise. Loudness, vulgarity, and abrasiveness tend to make me shrink back. In my world the glassContinue reading “Where I Belong”
Small Yet Mighty
I love our fighting spirit. Our can-do attitude. Our resilience. When asked, we’re always up for wholesome competition. A nation of less than 3 million and smaller in size than every state except two (DE, RI), Jamaica is the ‘little engine that could’. Out of approximately 195 countries in the world, we are 160th inContinue reading “Small Yet Mighty”
Be The One
Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you. And listen in such a way that others love to speak to you ( Zig Ziglar). In this world of chaos, pain, and darkness we can choose to be the difference maker in our sphere of influence. Sometime in the 90s, there wasContinue reading “Be The One”
My Piece of the Garden
A few weeks ago, I spent a few days with my son in his big city high-rise apartment. There was no balcony, no way to connect the outside. There were moments I felt trapped. I mentioned it to him and he laughed. That was his world and he was at peace with it. In thoseContinue reading “My Piece of the Garden”
In the Midst of It All
“PEACE. The place I’ve learned to live. Not because there are no storms, but I’ve found that there’s indeed peace in the midst of it all. Not because there are no wars within and without. Despite the conflicts that rage on – I’ve found a place where I am unmoved. I sit at YOUR feetContinue reading “In the Midst of It All”
God’s Not Mad
A few days ago a young friend of mine and were I having a conversation about finding a spouse. I told her I’d pray for her, but she could ask God for direction too. She made a comment that has been playing over in my mind for a long minute. I could sense it cameContinue reading “God’s Not Mad”
Give One – Get One
“Nothing you wear is more important than your smile.” [Borrowed] I have always worn my smile with much grace and charm. As far back as I can remember, life was never so bad that it could rob me of my smile. My childhood came with much laughter and smiles. I was never the moody sulkyContinue reading “Give One – Get One”
