It's Christmas Time Again...

The season is upon us...

Yes, that season where everything is so festive and cheery...

I absolutely love this season!

Christmas time always makes me smile and I anticipate the joys that come along with it. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, eating sumptuous meals, caroling and of course Junkanoo...it's not the Christmas season if you don't add the culture.

Recently, I was just thinking about a time during the pandemic when I joined a songwriting group on Facebook and they challenged the group to write a Christmas song. There were people from all over the world...at least 6 of the 7 continents were represented. I guess we were a group of people who needed to make a connection while being locked down and prohibited from movement.

Well the challenge was given and of course, I was up for it. I gave it my best shot.

I wrote what I called my Island version of a Christmas song with some help from this rocker dude from the UK. He and I "collabed" and put something together.

Can I say, even though we did it in a short time it was fun to do something that pushed me beyond my comfort zone. It was also a pleasure to work with someone of a different culture and race who did not mind staying up to help bring my vision and sound forth.

So the challenge was accepted and I released a raw uncut version of my first ever Christmas song with the help of my Big Bro who helped me to record it and he added what he could.

I think one day I am hoping to create a studio version and release it for real...but until then...the raw sound is what I have...and I am super proud.

This Christmas I am spreading Christmas joy by sharing my Pandemic Christmas song with you titled Oh! It's Christmas! Go ahead and listen...and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Phenomenal, Super Amazing New Year!

With Love

An Open Letter to My Only Son...

Shared this post on my Facebook page and thought I'd just share with readers on my blog. Mother's Day has a way of causing people to reflect on life as we know it, the best thing about that day was to sit down and penned these words to my son. An Open Letter to My Son To My Only Son... I thought deep and hard about writing this letter on Mother's Day when it is a day where we celebrate all that is good about mothers.Truth is, son Mothers are not perfect, although we often pretend we are. Having you 18 years ago, I was not prepared for it at all. You came into this world without even a wince or cry, you stayed silent until I took you home and then you discovered your lungs, you let loosed on me and everything in your path, enormous shrilling sounds of a baby wanting attention. Dear Son... I learned as I went along, trying to figure out how a young mother at 21 could navigate her path with a baby in tow. I prayed for you long before you burst onto the s...

A Soft Place to Land

There is a specific kind of silence that follows a blow from someone you love. It’s not the silence of peace; it’s the heavy, suffocating silence of a heart trying to process why the hands meant to hold it are the very ones trying to break it. I write today because I need to breathe. I write because, if I don't, the weight of these burdens might just pull me under. The Pain of the Hidden Truth We’ve all been there. You look at the person you admire most, the one you’ve cheered for in every season, and you realize they are using their words not to build you up, but to cut you down. It is a staggering irony: those we honor often choose to meet us with dishonor. I’ve spent so many nights wondering why the people closest to us become our greatest battlefields instead of our safe harbors. We talk about faith, we speak of grace, and we acknowledge that none of us are perfect—but shouldn't time count for something? I hoped for maturity. I hoped they would see the "evol...

Love Your Own Way!

We all have an idea about what we want out of life! We may have plans specifically tailored for us, bit by bit, inch by inch, profile by profile. Our plans act as a guide or our mandate for what we want out of life and then life happens. We often settle because we conclude nothing and no one is perfect. Now although that is true, when it comes to love and life, my only recommendation is love your own way and hopefully you would find the right person loving you right back in their own way. Despite, what people may say or the rules on love and relationships, stick to your truth and love your way, wholly, purely, completely and as one of my favorite love songs says...Truly, Madly, Deeply!
