So, here we are at the end of June and already we’re halfway through the year. Let’s be honest, June has left some of us reeling from all its new developments and deliberations. Personally, June has thrown me for a loop, but on the upside, it has also presented me with some great experiences andContinue reading “Journeys in June”

Tribute to My Dad on This Father’s Day Weekend
In honor of Father’s Day weekend, I’m reposting this tribute I originally made to my dad on his Birthday. My Giant Follow on:
May’s Memories
Carpe Diem which means “seize the day” is the motto of my old high school in Jamaica. Over the years that phrase has become more relevant and meaningful to my life. May has come and soon will be gone but not before giving us Mother’s Day, togetherness, and some memories to last a lifetime. Unfortunately,Continue reading “May’s Memories”
Thursday’s Throwback
We have to lay those positive foundations right now, make smart choices, live life freely and without fear, and keep planting those “happy seeds”. I know my future memories won’t all be “warm and fuzzy”. After all, this is life, but I’m doing my best to leave no regrets behind.
Remember When…
As we start aging, for some of us it’s becomes natural to look back longingly at our younger years. We start remembering the “good ole days” and some of the things we used to do. Yes, we even think about the way we once looked and felt, the heads we used to turn, the heartsContinue reading “Remember When…”

There are days when words elude me. Luckily on such days I have my captured memories to turn to. Let me first say thank you for continuing to follow me and welcome to the newcomers, I appreciate you all! As April draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on some of theContinue reading ““Pieces of April””
Farewell Jamaica
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”
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”
17 Days Ago
I have already spent 17 full glorious days in Jamaica. I’ve waded in the river, hiked up a mountain, rafted on the Martha Brae, climbed a waterfall, swam in the ocean and driven legally on the wrong side of the road. I’ve dodged what felt like a million potholes and got caught by a millionContinue reading “17 Days Ago”
LIVE
Life is a fragile thing; we’re born and then we die and in between hopefully we have lived a life that was meaningful and worthwhile. It seems to me that when I was growing up deaths were a rare occurrence and no one I knew ever died. Occasionally someone died peacefully of old age butContinue reading “LIVE”
