World Cup 2014
With the start of this year’s World Cup I’ve started to feel better and worse. As a Caribbean and South American Woman; it’s such an exciting time for us. The idea of the World Cup being hosted so close to home, in a continent where almost every country plays the sport (we have 9 national…

Some who wander are lost…
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. But some who wander are lost..and I count myself among them for now. It’s been a tough month; Mother’s Day brought up a…

Cheers to wellness!
I’m finally feeling back to myself. I had a round of antibiotics and lots and lots of lozenges to get my through my throat infection. I’m no worse off for it; except I noticed my voice is more husky than before. I’ve made peace with having a more masculine voice so I won’t belabor the…

Sadderday
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/saturday-night/ work throughout the weekends so Saturdays for me a weeknight as opposed to really feeling like the weekend. Unfortunately my friends with real careers and non-retail generally have the weekends off. (Who am I kidding, I don’t have friends) The issue is that most cool events, shows, kick-backs and most fun things happen generally…

The call of the water
Daily Prompt: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/have-you-never-been-mellow/ My escape has always been water. My Mom loves to tell the story of the time we went to the beach when I was around 5 years old with our Church.
