‘SAS CRISE! I want to write this entire blog post in the Jamaican Creole, but I can’t, because my readers consist of non-Jamaicans and Jamaicans alike. But OH MY GOD!!!! I Just had another encounter with another 40-leg (centipede), and it was HUGE! Anyone who knows me knows that I am deathly afraid of theseContinue reading “40-legs: my 40+ years fear!”

Parenting through a Pandemic: A LESSON IN VENTURING OUT!
The pandemic and the ensuing infodemic have forced many of us to retreat, indefinitely. However, we all know that as parents, we have had to reimagine everything about how we typically operate, if not for ourselves then for our children’s sake.

Within the ambits of my adult friend and company circle, I am quite verbose and uninhibited about my beliefs/acceptance of others and the choices that we make concerning who we chose to “love”. But, I must admit that within my parenting confines, I do struggle to explain to my daughter why men and women areContinue reading “Happy and Gay!”
Extra… but in a good way!

Well I know she would only be gone from Friday to Sunday, but you never know… right? Well, so there I wasContinue reading “Extra… but in a good way!”
Hair today….???!!!
My daughter enjoys when her hair is being washed and really doesn’t like when her hair is dirty. in fact, there are times when she will insist that I wash it on days when it is not yet time to do so – she REALLY loves the end product. The only problem is that thereContinue reading “Hair today….???!!!”
