Respectfully, My Standards.
I found myself thinking about something that I realized has troubled me, especially over the last few years. This is something focused on my standards and respect for them. We all have relationships with various individuals. Whether they are friendships, intimate relations, family relations or business relationships, they still fall under the category of a […]
Whose race are you running?
God has this way of speaking and teaching lessons that simply amazes me. A few weeks ago I had an encounter and got a lesson that left me really speechless and contemplative.It started quite simply. I was in the middle of my 15-20 minutes walk to work after I got off my taxi. As I […]
Clash of the Body and Mind
Nowadays I rarely get sick but whenever I do, my body ensures it pays me back in spades for all the times it wanted to laze or get some rest and I pushed it to continue. My latest episode started by making me an emotional wreck with no appetite. I hardly ate a thing for […]
Date Night
So let me just spoil the surprise from now, YES I HAD FUN! Out of the blue, a friend who I haven’t seen in a couple years, since he migrated, called me. Much to my surprise, he was in Jamaica and wanted to take me out for my birthday (a week before my birthday). Now, […]
Stop and smell the roses
I don’t know about you but I love nature. Nature, in many ways, soothes my soul. I used to find it so amazing just to get up on a spring morning and hear the bees buzzing away in the three ackee trees that surround my house. Their work always filled my yard with yellow blossoms. I […]
Be very sure
One of the things I never want to have to deal with is a man who is not sure he wants me. A man unsure of how he wants to stand with you will never give you want you need. I remember when one of my best friends met his fiancée. He told me, “Chan, […]
Contemplations at 23
April 16 was my last day as a 23-year old. I’ve been very contemplative as I review the year that I have gone through. The highs, the lows and the in-betweens. As usual, I’ve learnt a few lessons that I want to share. I’ve began declaring into the atmosphere that year 24 will be a […]
I Met A Man… (Follow-up)
When I was in my first year at university, I had a math lecturer who had the tendency to say “This one will separate the men from the boys.” when he gave us a particular complex math question to solve. I took that statement to heart when I realized how appropriate it is for life. […]
I Met A Man…
For the last year or so, I’ve have spent my time and energies primarily focused on rediscovering myself and God. This journey has been amazing! Over the period, I have encountered many males and frankly I have never felt compelled to look a second time. I have been very focused on God and me. This […]
God Speaks
Last night I wrote my first post for the year. In this post, I spoke about taking a page from David’s book and executing my one point plan for the year which involves getting closer to God and watching the pieces fall in place. Imagine my surprise when I woke this morning to find this as my Bible […]
