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”

Why Me?

That’s a common question we ask when hit with tough twists and turns in life. Why me? Here’s something to chew on – Why not you? Why not me? Often, I’ve read the Psalms and wondered what the writers were walking through when they wrote those life-changing words. Words that years later still comfort, inspire,Continue reading “Why Me?”

Hard to Say Goodbye

This past week part of my high school graduating class came together after 40 years. It was something almost ‘other worldly’. Many of us hadn’t seen nor heard from each other in decades. What amazed me the most was how easy it was to reconnect. Sure we had grown up (somewhat😊), but the child inContinue reading “Hard to Say Goodbye”

Where it All Started

Over 40 years ago, a group of bright-eyed bushy tail kids met at the high school we so lovingly call ‘The One Don’. This week we gathered for our 40 year reunion- a week long celebration.
