From Glory to Glory

Why Am I Single? Asked & Answered Is the question apparently on everyone's mind it seems... I enter a store and they ask me, I go out on the scene and they ask me, I am at a party and they asked me, at the bank counter and the young dashing teller dares to ask me... The things I am asked when people from my past meet me, are questions that are most uncomfortable and I am reluctant to answer them on the point that they are quite deliberately nosey or maybe simply overly curious. Here, is the most famous quote of them all, "I thought you would have been married by now," and, I politely say, "it has to be the right kind of guy!" However, when I inquire of their life, they either divorced, recently divorced and or trying to pick me up in their most subtle way! I am sure single women everywhere who have the breeding, the talent, the attractiveness, and all the components that make them more marketable get bombarded by...Why Are You Single? So, let me...

Use the gifts you have inside of You! More recently in social media spaces there is an increasing number of dialogue on gifts and an array of displays of many people, showcasing their talent, advertising their businesses and sharing their hobbies. It is quite inspirational to see how even a simple child can start a humanity project that is near and dear to their heart and or a youth less than ten years old ups and start his own bow-tie company.That sort of thing is quite inspirational to know that even a child can lead us and show us that we must be about something, doing something, living, sharing and using our gifts to make some sort of contribution and difference in the world. I thought about why we exist in the earth. I thought about God giving each one of us unique talents and gifts that we can unselfishly share and give back to others. What we have in us is not just for us, it is to serve those who are around us and humanity at large.  Alexander Graham Bell, cont...

The Greatest Loyalty in life is, above all, to thine own self be true."  Charlie Lutes I was willing to come home from school some nine years ago. I was excited about using my new degree and about being engrossed in making a difference in my country. I am not sure everyone thinks about that, after finishing college and being exposed to new ideas, new ways of innovation and creative thinking coupled with a passion to solve problems and provide solutions.  I was full of passion, my passion runneth over. I had passion for my country and passion for the love of a career in technology and had a strong desire to work for education. I could have gone anywhere... Perhaps, I should have returned to the Police Force, which was my first career as young woman, where I gave six years of my life. I learnt more intensely there, a love for country, a strong work ethic, discipline and loyalty. Growing up literally on the Royal Bahamas Police Force, taught me what it means to stand ...

IT'S TIME TO BREAKOUT! I stayed too long in that place that I succumbed to paralysis and my own fears I became so caught up in the mundane of being good at that one thing and doing the same thing that was easy for me. However, that one thing is the very thing that is killing me softly. You heard the saying, "Your gifts should make room for you," they do, but only if they are not hindered by barriers and the proverbial box that keeps your ideas, dreams and hopes trapped. I have been in a place in my life, professional and otherwise where I felt trapped. Actually, for sometime now, I feel like I am just going through the motion but not making any meaningful progress. I want to see growth, because growth is a part of life I want to spread my wings and fly and be more creative I want to jump out of the box, break through the barriers that I have set and away from what I have allowed others to hold me as a prisoner. I have read many stories and testimonies where ...

Many people look at others lives and they want what they have...now! Don't Veer of your own Path...Stay In Your Lane ! However, they fail to consider the process of what someone had to go through to build, grow or have the success and the things that they have. We look from the outside and say, " we can do that!" However, truth be told, we fail to do due diligence, or understand that there is work involved. There is nothing that comes easy for someone. Sometimes our dreams lay dormant for a long while until we wake up or become awaken to them. We have to make a decision to put in the work. I see people chase after other people's dreams, well if they can do that I can do it too. We are immersed in a copycat whirlpool, where everyday someone decides to copycat the other because they feel that they can do it better! Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about people who have legitimate goals, dreams and plans for their lives. I am talking about those who want t...

LIVE A HAPPY LIFE! Happy Days are here again and they can be there again tomorrow... You can find something everyday to make you happy! I see a lot of my friends on social media posting about 100 Happy Days and they would post pics of all their favorite things that would make them smile. I wonder if we would take a page out of their book and everyday, even the dark and gloomy days, remember just one thing, consider one memory, do one random act of kindness that would make you smile... My current status in life may not be everything that I desire it to be; No...everything does not come up roses for me but I choose to think about one thing that would make me smile and make me happy! I Love Food...that makes me Happy! I Love Shopping...that makes me Happy! I Love Family...that makes me Happy! The list can go on and on beyond 100 Happy Days We can choose to make a decision to think happy thoughts and surround ourselves with happy memories and it beats sad faces, sad tears a...

To my sisters... JUST SAY YES! You are Worthy! You are Beautiful Enough, Smart Enough and Are Enough! Stand facing yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you are worthy to be loved, respected and appreciated. Sometimes you have to remind yourself how truly wonderful and special you are, so that every negative voice or opinion of others would be drowned out with the sound of your own voice speaking loudly words of life, words that excite you and ignite you to become better I know many women that sell themselves short, in fact I was one of them. I suffered from rejection, dejection, constantly looking for approval from colleagues, professional  and personal counterparts in my life and I fought to be noticed by so many people that really did not like me, appreciated me or celebrated my gifts. I learned  the hard lessons, some of them more than once, repeating the same mistakes...looking for love in all the wrong places from all those people that did not how to love...
