My Testimony of God’s Faithfulness

   I am thankful for this journey called motherhood .  I have walked this path with God by my side and I am grateful for how far I've come.  Raising a child alone is not for the weak but God has been faithful and has given me wisdom to do this.  Through the years of feeling alone and frustrated, I can thankfully say that I am happy that God has given me the strength and grace to do this. Not by might, not by power but by his spirit . All my daughter sees is strength and perseverance. In February of this year, I saw some fluid coming from one of my breasts and I went to do an ultrasound. She told me not to worry as my results would come back okay. Deep in the back of my mind, I was worried for my child and started to beg the Lord to give me some more years to spend with her . I am thankful for life and all that the Lord has blessed me with. He has been faithful and He is taking me from glory to glory . I have seen parents who have become frustrated with their da...

Life During the Pandemic

  I celebrated my 30th birthday in March two days after the official case of COVID-19 was announced in Jamaica . In this picture you will see a woman that has been through a lot.  I weighed 1 pound at birth and I lost my twin sister. She only lived for a few hours. I am literally a miracle. From inception, God had a plan for my life.  I am now walking in my purpose and my faith keeps growing in the Lord. The devil tried to take my life when I was 23 years old. I was attacked by an armed robber who was waiting for me in my mother's garden as I usually arrived home at midnight. However, the Holy Spirit warned me before I entered the premises that there was danger and that's how I moved in caution.    I am writing this to tell you that God has a purpose for your life and He is not done with you. Even in this difficult time, learn to trust Him knowing that He will never leave you nor forsake you. He has greater things in store for you.  I will leave you w...

Teaching English in Cali, Colombia | My First Travel & Cultural Experience Abroad

  In 2013, I had the opportunity to teach English at a University in Cali, Colombia.  Cali, Colombia is known as the city of Salsa. Jamaicans love Salsa. I had a blast learning Salsa Choke and learning the various dance moves. This was my first time travelling and the experience was really exciting. It is an experience  that I will never forget.  I realized that Colombians and Jamaicans have a lot in common. We share the love for sports especially Track & Field and Football, we love to socialize and meet new people, our personalities are warm and friendly, we have a good taste in fashion and most of all we love great tasting food.  Learning a second language created the opportunities for me to travel and teach and to appreciate another culture. It also allowed me to maintain a lifelong friendship with great people.  If you would like to meet and interact with Colombians and practice your Spanish, then you can check out this group I created known as...

National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day- October 15

National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day offers a day of remembrance to parents, family and friends for pregnancy loss and infant death.  Pregnancy loss and infant death may include but are not limited to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS or the death of a new born.   I have a reason to reflect on this day as I went through pregnancy loss. A lot of mothers don't usually share their story. However, I believe it helps in the healing process.  Four years ago, I had to do a medical abortion because my son had a rare medical condition. I was four months pregnant at the time. It was the most devastating experience that I went through.  As I reflect on the journey, I just want to thank God for his grace and mercy as He kept me during my lowest.  I kept questioning and asking why it had to happen to me and I tried to replay all the ways that I could've had a healthy child. However, now I know that it was God's will for it to happen.  After going through ...
