Recovering After Hurricane Melissa

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.

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 ...

7 Christian Parenting Tips for Caribbean Single Moms Parenting isn’t easy, but with God’s grace and mercy, you can raise your children with love, gentle discipline, and wisdom. These parenting tips are shared to remind Christian moms that they can do all things through Christ who strengthens them. [Philippians 4:13] Here are 7 parenting tips that I’ve learned through my journey as a Christian mother. Parent Tip #1 - Speak Positive words   ✨Speak life to them as your words have power. There is life and death in the power of the tongue. E.g. Say daily to them that they are loved and say what you love about them.

Patience goes a long way. I read Parenting with Patience by SB Wade and it provides a practical and in-depth exploration into man...

Best Website To Receive Cashback

  As a single mother, I am always thinking about ways to save and to manage my finances wisely. I discovered Rakuten   which allows me to receive cashback on my online purchases. 😁 What this means is that once you shop at your favorite stores on the website, they will take off a percentage off your order. You can see the list of stores that they offer cashback by searching in the search box. Also, once purchases are made through the website, it is recorded and you are paid every three months. You can choose if you want to be paid by PayPal or by a cheque. I often shop on Shein , Temu , Amazon and the Childrensplace when I am buying clothing and accessories for my daughter. I have received $50 USD in my PayPal account. I discovered the website in 2015 when it was known as Ebates . If I was shopping through their website consistently then I would've received more cashback. 😊 You can sign up to start receiving cashback while shopping at your favourite stores. You can...
