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...

Living and Teaching English in Cali, Colombia: A Jamaican Perspective





 I had the opportunity to teach English at a university in Cali, Colombia. Cali is known as the City of Salsa, and as a Jamaican who loves music and dancing, I had an amazing time learning Salsa Choke and experiencing the vibrant culture.

This was my first time travelling abroad, and it was an unforgettable experience. Living in another country allowed me to step outside my comfort zone, experience a new culture, and grow both personally and professionally.

If you would like to read the full story of my journey, you can purchase my book on Amazon, Adventures in Cali, Colombia: A Jamaican Perspective. In the book, I share many of the memorable experiences, cultural differences, funny moments, and valuable lessons that I learned while living and teaching in Colombia.

During my time there, I discovered that Colombians and Jamaicans have much in common. We share a love for sports, especially track and field and football. We enjoy meeting new people, our cultures are warm and welcoming, we appreciate fashion, and we both enjoy delicious food.

Learning Spanish opened doors that I never imagined possible. It gave me the opportunity to travel, teach English, appreciate another culture, and build lifelong friendships with wonderful people.

If you would like to meet Colombians, practice your Spanish, and connect with people who are interested in language and culture, you are welcome to join my Facebook group, Los Caleños y Los Jamaicanos. I created this community to encourage cultural exchange and to promote both the Spanish and English languages.

Thank you for reading about my experience. I hope my journey inspires you to learn another language, explore a new country, and embrace new opportunities.

How We Survived Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica: Faith, Preparation and Recovery

Devastation Struck  On October 28, 2025 , Jamaica experienced the most devastating Hurricane known as Melissa . As a teenager, I experienced Ivan but I was now ready to face a new Category 5 contender known as Melissa. Her only counterpart I knew about was " Wild Gilbert " which crippled the island in 1988.  When I heard that it would severely impact the Western part of the island , I went on an online prayer vigil on October 27, 2025 and I repented on behalf of my household. Melissa visited my home at approximately 1:30 pm in the afternoon on October 28 in all her rage and fury. She tried to take the awnings on the verandah but my family and I wrestled with her to lose her hold. By the grace of God when she passed, we escaped with only a pear tree uprooted and 1 of the awnings falling off which we were able to secure. There was a bit of water that came in one of the rooms but to God be the glory, everything else was in tact. It will be an experience that my daughter and I...

Children Are a Blessing: Finding Strength in Motherhood

I’m learning that motherhood isn’t always easy. Some days are long and exhausting, filled with endless tasks and sleepless nights that test your patience. There are moments when you feel completely overwhelmed, and it’s okay to admit that. The weight of responsibility can feel heavy and the challenges can seem never ending. But in the middle of it all, God reminds me of one unchanging truth: children are a blessing from the Lord (Psalm 127:3). Every little smile, every laugh, even the lessons learned through tears are gifts meant to enrich our lives and shape our hearts. When the days feel long and my energy is low, I try to pause and reflect: God entrusted me with this precious life because He believes in my strength and love. My child isn’t just my responsibility, she's my joy, my purpose, and a constant reminder of God’s goodness. So whether it’s a day filled with chaos or quiet moments of connection, I hold on to this truth. Motherhood may be challenging, but it is also a ...
