This lovely basket of lemons (12) was given to me over the weekend by my neighbour. She is aware that I use lemons a lot for my daily detox routine. Thank you Miss Peaches! I had none for the upcoming week so you can imagine my joy upon receiving them.Is there joy in getting lemons? That depends on how you look at it ^-^ .We have heard the old adage - When life gives you lemons.... popular cliche

HAPPY NEW YEAR!Welcome 2010!Whew! The past year had its challenges but I made it through with the Divine help of the Most High. I now move forward in faith in 2010. I know not what it holds for me, but God who steers my ship (life) is still in control and it shall be well with me.I trust Him to fill in the blanks, to execute all my needs, desires and goals. I trust Him for all that He promises

MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody!!!!! Christmas for me is a time of peace. For the last five or so years I have turned down every dinner invite (family and others). It is my day (MINE). I care not what others want to think or say. There is no work for me on that day. No traveling. I relax all day, listen to carols (which I so love),read a good book, make phone calls, eat, drink, etc. All

Today marks a special blessing... it is my earthstrong! I was born on this day some moons ago. I bless God for having lived all these years. Despite the trials and tribulations, the odds stacked against me, I have made it this far and therefore, I have much to give thanks for. Many were not as fortunate. It's a new dawn. I look forward to new things, without fear; to my dreams further

A day ago, I consciously agreed to "Let Go & Let God"! Today, I will not search for His will, but trust that His will is happening as it needs to in my life and that I will receive all I need to get me through today.

Today, I will consciously let go and let GOD! I wrote this on my Facebook page this morning. It was so powerful! Immediately, I was transported into a state of calm. I was worried about family issues, mourning my aunt(who raised me), who we laid to rest on Sunday, etc. However, in the midst of all my worrying, I got it "LET GO, LET GOD"! and I did just that.....what a relief! I now wait

Many across the world have already welcomed a new year. We here in Jamaica will do so shortly. Some will be going to church to ring in the new year, some to watch the fireworks on the waterfront in downtown Kingston, some to street dances, some to New Year's Eve Balls being held at major hotels and other venues across the island, some, like myself, will just stay home and relax. However we

It's official! Tuesday, November 4, 2008 will be remembered for generations to come, never to be forgotten. Senator Barack Hussein Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States of America, at 47 years of age and the first African-American to do so. It's a new dawn in America's politics. Signed, sealed, delivered!President-elect Obama, is as of this moment, indelibly etched

Today is a historic day for America. Whether Obama or McCain wins, it's historic, because it would the first since John F. Kennedy in 1960 that a member of Congress would become President of the United States of America and this is only one of several firsts for both Senators.It has been an epic voyage in American politics, 726 days long. It's not about race, it's not gender, veterans, and all

I got this pic this morning and have personally labeled it "dancing with the candidates". Thought it was cute and had to share it. Only three more days to go. The world waits with bated breath.

One of the most powerful emotions that I have been experiencing this year is GRATITUDE, and with it comes immeasurable joy. I consciously acknowledge that for everyday, that I live, I am blessed, amidst all that is happening at this time, the financial crisis, the crimes, etc., not only in Jamaica but on a global level.My chosen virtue card for today says: JOYFUL - I dance in the happiness and

“Procrastination is the thief of time: Year after year it steals, till all are fled, And to the mercies of a moment leaves The vast concerns of an eternal scene”. “Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fools reform.”The above are wise words from English Poet - Edward Young (1683-1765). Boy, was he right. Another, Wayne Gretzky, also said, “Procrastination is one of the most common and

It's a beautiful day! It's great to be alive and basking in the glory of God; of His blessings that He has bestowed on us, this nation, this beautiful Island of Jamaica. I certainly do not take it for granted. In everything, I have learned to give thanks. It was pleasing to the ear to hear our Olympian ladies expressing their thanks unto God (notwithstanding a mishap on the third leg of the
