Not sure why these matters, but I sure remember those days with a smile even a grin or two. In my native country I studied education at a small college. After relocating to the Big Apple in my mid-twenties, I went back to study just because I could! This time I dabbled with Biology. AContinue reading “Those Daze”

Gift of You
I could list anything from the tangible to the divine. Most times I find what I need people can’t give it to me. So, I’ve learned to release those in my circle – gotten rid of my unhealthy expectations. I ask but one thing: Give me the real youLet me decide to stay or leaveNo facade-noContinue reading “Gift of You”
You are Some of My Favorites
We were not meant to be an island. I love this writing prompt -‘ Who are Your Current Most Favorite People?’ This brings a smile to my face. I have many favorites including the obvious – my children (biological and bonuses), siblings, and parents. I have also been equally blessed with some amazing friends andContinue reading “You are Some of My Favorites”
I Would, If I Could
Yesterday I had a conversation with a friend about affairs of the heart among other things. She’s been married twice. I have never been. While sharing, I commented on the fact that I’ve had many potential loves who’ve walked in and out of the doors of my life. BUT honestly- I can’t say there’s oneContinue reading “I Would, If I Could”
In My Feelings
It’s midday and I have the day off. I’m lounging on my sofa watching the trees dancing to the beat of the winds and soaking in the rain from the effects of Ms. Idalia. She’s passing by heading somewhere towards the FL gulf coast. What am I feeling right now? How am I feeling rightContinue reading “In My Feelings”
On a High
There’s nothing about me that’s athletic; however, I’m a huge sports fan. From the Women’s World Cup Championship to the 2023 World Athletics Championships—I’ve been on a natural high for the last few weeks. I come from a small island in the Caribbean that boasts some of the best athletes in the world. I getContinue reading “On a High”
Catching Up
I missed this prompt while I was busy making travel plans. I thought I might just reflect on what was, by giving a glimpse into my awesome trip. This journey took me to my beloved island nation. The pandemic had rudely interrupted our plans as a family , so we had to switch somethings around.Continue reading “Catching Up”
You are Always on My Mind
I don’t consider myself a worrywart. My heart and mind don’t do well in that space. I’ve lived long enough to know that most of the things I worry about never manifest anyway. The truth is things do have a way of working out. As a person of faith, I stay in peace by havingContinue reading “You are Always on My Mind”
Made For This
As a teenager leaving high school, I was blank. I had no idea what I wanted to do. My pastor suggested that I tried teaching. That was never on my vision board and I thought it funny. I then reasoned with myself; I had nothing to lose by giving it a shot. I would leaveContinue reading “Made For This”
I Hate Them Two
I find I have little time to waste. Some days I teach for 9 hours between two campuses. However, there are those in-between moments—the ones I waste worrying over things I can’t change. People I can’t change. I hate when I waste my time, emotional and mental energy investing in people and things that reallyContinue reading “I Hate Them Two”
