From Boyz 2 Men

This is the 2nd post capturing some moments of a recent meet-up with some members of my high school graduating class. The men of the ‘Blue and Gold ‘ showed up and surely added their flavor to this amazing weekend.

And So We Laughed

This weekend more than 30 of us from our high school graduating class got together for a 3-day ‘Lyming’ [ A Caribbean island slang for hanging out or chilling with friends. Can also refer to middle-aged people having a good time trying to recapture their youth๐Ÿ˜‚.] And yes, we are officially middle-aged! No one wasContinue reading “And So We Laughed”

A very poignant question was asked by Ms. Whitney: ‘Where Do Broken Hearts Go? Can they find their way home?’ Heart break isn’t just a thing of the 21st century, it has been around since the dawn of time. The first mother, Eve, experienced unimaginable heart break when one of her sons killed the other.Continue reading “Broken Hearts”

I found some pieces of writing sent to me from an old love. We must have been 19 or 20 years old. Actually for a young chap – he could write. What do you think?Continue reading “He Writes”

It also requires hard work and people who are committed to the idea of working on themselves. This is part of the recipe for a lasting and fulfillingContinue reading “Prepare Me”

Circle of Love

This may be your story – one of reconciliation and restoration. Isn’t this a thing of beauty? Love hopes all things – love never ends. Do you think you could try again? Forgive one more time. Open your arms to that ‘prodigal’. Extend grace one more time. Do you think you could? Just one moreContinue reading “Circle of Love”

Back Then

Over 38 years ago, I was busy studying [ some of us were ๐Ÿ˜€] and getting ready to graduate high school. Not long ago, I looked back at an old diary. For the month of May and early June of that year, every day my entry included ..’studied and slept’. Wasn’t life simpler back then?๐Ÿ˜ŠContinue reading “Back Then”

Many of us got married to our high school and college ‘heart beats’. I didn’t. Did you? Recently I read some entries in an old diary. Many captured some of the goings on leading up to high school graduation. Many of you, your children and loved ones are now gearing up for the graduation season.Continue reading “Past Loves”
