This is an interesting question. One that requires a personal conversation with oneself. Today I celebrated another year of God’s goodness. December 8th – the day I first saw light. Birthdays, especially as the decades roll by, are days we often reflect. Some of us sink into the deep abyss of regrets, some get drunkContinue reading “Let’s Talk”

Seated With the Wise
This Thanksgiving I had breakfast with my neighbors – fifty plus years of marriage, proven ministry, children and numerous grandchildren. We had delicious escovitch fish [with cassava bammy]- a Jamaican staple. While we dined and chatted – I soaked in wisdom. Listening attentively, my heart grabbed a hold of something I have experienced but neverContinue reading “Seated With the Wise”
My Smile- My Hair
“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”
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”
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”
Where I Belong
Ever felt out of place? Too many times to mention. I am female. I am an immigrant. I don’t cuss, smoke nor drink hard liquor. I don’t tolerate the complaining spirit well. I prefer calm to chaos and unwanted noise. Loudness, vulgarity, and abrasiveness tend to make me shrink back. In my world the glassContinue reading “Where I Belong”
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”
