One Saturday morning I took a quick trip to a neighborhood supermarket. As I walked towards the entrance, I saw a couple with a young toddler. The baby caught my attention and I said hello to her.

I’ve Told You These Things
This past Christmas, one of my sons gave me this journal. The goal is to capture my story. I am thrilled that he has, in his own way, recognize the brevity of life.

I’m Black, Green and Gold
Do I have to answer this? I think everyone in my small island nation is cut from the same cloth when it comes to the Olympics.

She softly asked, “Is everyone fromContinue reading “I’m Black, Green and Gold”

I Feel You
Today I watched a movie and saw someone in an emotionally raw state. You could almost taste the pain spewing out of his pores. Tears poured down my face as I felt every piece of his heart rupturing. And it was just a movie. Why did it jar my soul like that? Maybe because I’veContinue reading “I Feel You”
That Dash
Like me, maybe you are one of those who occasionally ponder life and its mysteries. You may have discovered that life is an interesting journey – to say the least.
