I woke up pregnant yesterday, I have had dreams about this before, but I wasn’t sure exactly how I would feel if my dreams were real. Now I know, the emotion is happy. I guess at any age, the idea of a little part of him and a little part of me, is not asContinue reading “Revelations”

More New Friends
The reality was, before the early 1990’s, once we graduated from high school, the very next day more than half of the people we went to school with would disappear from our lives forever. The remaining few were mostly our close friends and even then, unless we were actually committed to staying in touch, theyContinue reading “More New Friends”
To Really Love a Woman
Music has a way of resurfacing old memories and stirring emotions long since forgotten. Recently, thanks to a random playlist, I had the delight of being reacquainted with the lyrics of the song “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman” by Bryan Adams. There was a time when I had my own personal love affairContinue reading “To Really Love a Woman”
A Few To Do’s for Spring
Everywhere we look we’re being reminded that winter is over, and spring is here. Bye winter coats and cold dark days and hello light colorful clothing, walks in the park and fun filled warm days. Isn’t it wonderful to be alive with thoughts of tomorrow, Easter, sunshine and rain, and longer days flooding our brains?Continue reading “A Few To Do’s for Spring”

Life After Vacation
It’s remarkable how even the way we approach our first few hours after vacationing changes when we’re out of the workforce. I remember just a few short years ago, I would start stressing about all the things I had to do before returning to work. My mind would have been fully “locked and loaded” onContinue reading “Life After Vacation”

Ready or not, today is the day I travel home. The sun has set on my visit and in a few hours, I’ll bid farewell to my parents until we meet again. It’s bittersweet, it was great being home and I will miss them dearly, but I have another life and home to return to.Continue reading “Farewell Jamaica”

Pulled Over
Driving in Jamaica, especially in the parish of St. Thomas, was never part of the plan. Somehow the idea of driving on the “wrong” side of the road, dodging potholes and competing with drivers trying to pass me on the right and on the left, was just not my “cup of tea.” However, my dadContinue reading “Pulled Over”

Needy and Unashamed
First of all, let me say that I have the utmost respect for all single independent women who are not only balancing life on their own without a partner but who are also loving and excelling at it. Ladies, I hear you “roaring” fiercely, some declaring your independence and your unwillingness to compromise your freedomContinue reading “Needy and Unashamed”

Memories Lost and Found – Then vs Now
Well, my date for leaving this land of my birth has come and gone, and all my sidekicks have all since packed up and left me and I’m still here. As we Jamaicans would say “mi still deh yah.” Now I’m not complaining, there are worse situations to be in than getting some much-needed restContinue reading “Memories Lost and Found – Then vs Now”

Is this Really You?
I read somewhere that today was National Multiple Personality Day. At first, I thought what a strange thing to observe, but after thinking about it, I’ve come to the conclusion that in today’s day and age, there are some aspects of this disorder that deserve a little exploration. Since I am no expert on thisContinue reading “Is this Really You?”
