“If you’re reading this…Congratulations, you’re alive. If that’s not something to smile about, then I don’t know what is.” [Borrowed] God, somehow, did not gift me with the ability to master styling hair. For that reason, I love my ponytails [bought]- they are convenient and easy to maintain. However, there is nothing I love moreContinue reading “My Smile- My Hair”

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”
Never Easy
As mothers we soon realize that our babies were born with a mind of their own. They develop a food palate that often frustrates us. Picky eaters are the worst. Hairstyles, tastes in clothing and music can lead to spirited discussions at times. Their choices in many ways can leave us wondering if they cameContinue reading “Never Easy”
The First Time
Not sure I have a favorite month. However, if I were to choose one, it would be the month I took my first breath outside the womb. December. The month the world and I first said hello. I’m sure it was cool and quite festive. Most people were probably in a good mood with aContinue reading “The First Time”
AMEN
So be it. Let it be. An affirmation of agreement. I saw this t-shirt on a student recently. So grateful he permitted me to take this shot. This has been part of my roadmap to peace. It has helped to clear out much of the ‘other options’ life offers. This is how I’ve simplified myContinue reading “AMEN”

Less of That
This morning I went walking along my usual route. I love walking. As I breathed in the fresh morning air, I reflected on the number of times I’d walked that road- worried. Days when there were more questions than answers. Slowly I began to realize, everything that held me captive those days were no longerContinue reading “Less of That”
I’ll Find You
To My WP Family: Recently my plate has been full trying to balance new assignments and things of that nature. I haven’t been present here that much – but I’m not gone. Stay with me. Soon I’ll find my way back ‘home’. Stay With Me Lately I’ve been missing a lotI knowI don’t see youContinue reading “I’ll Find You”
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”
