My son and me.

Well a new day has begun even though it's still night. I like the sound of that. We set out on a journey that I did not want to postpone any longer. However, when we got ot our destination , things were not the way I expected them to be. That saying that " A child shall lead them" is so true and having a son whose name is Joshua oh boy did he lead me.

Josh wanted to go for a walk so we set out on one of the most beautiful adventures together. He is truely my little love and even though he I put his harness on him today we were leading each other. We popped into a coffee shop and he wanted something naturally ( smile). Well we didn't go in there to watch!!!! He got his chocolate coated "thing" and I bought myself a sausage roll and we strolled outside. Oh boy if my grandmother was only there that was not going to happen because we could not eat and walk the streets.

One thing lead to another and I ended up buying him a basketball and mangoes and chocolate  and and and and pizza. Oh yes we had lunch together as usual. I just enjoyed it with my little love. My little love is sleeping and so is the rest of the household so you know what I'm going to bed.

Life

My eyes are tired - well extra tired today because my heart is full. So full that the tears were just pouring out. But the tears wouldn't bring you back to us. I love you and you knew it. You loved me and I know that and I feel blessed.

One of my dearest friends died on Wednesday after suffering from that freaking cancer. Yes freaking is putting it mildly. It's like eating good Indian food without pepper man. Yuh know what ah mean. Even though this lost hurts the very depths of my being I know it's for the best. I serve a God who knows me and loves me and He is in control. He knows best. We've been praying for healing and yes sometimes healing comes in death. My friend is suffering no more and I feel great that her faith was strong.

On one of the few occasions when she replied to my daily text messages, she told me that " God will do the rest, " and yes she has been healed. Like a seed that has been planted, by her dying she will be born to eternal life one day. But oh boy death stings hard, but God is in control and he is putting things right.

I feel a little better now and it'll take some time, but time is the greatest healer. As I sit here and type away the initial fullness of my heart seems to be getting empty cause I'm giving this burden to God. Thank God for good family members and friends who were there in my absence for my friend Alicia and who are here for me now. God is love. Amen!!!

I'm Willing To Teach!!!

If one person is willing to learn then I'm willing to teach. I'm very passionate about teaching, I never thought I would feel this way. Three of my dad's four sisters are teachers and my dad used to part time on evenings after his full time day job at the oil company.

I was always encouraged to teach and applied to do so years ago after I felt as though I was drowning in a sea of boredom at home. I've no regrets. I no longer teach at schools but not in addition to my teaching diploma, I'm trained  to teach ESL but my passion lies in teaching jewellery design.

I love it and if you are willing to take my classes then I'm more than willing to teach you.

Blogging again!!!

Yeah tongue lasher, you thought I had fallen back into my old ways eh ( Trini or Canadian it does not matter)!!! Well in some ways I had, maybe, but here I am so don't start. Oh you want to know how long it's going to last - well only time can tell. I even made three postings on the Bead Journal Blog page. Yeah it was about time!!!

Before I really get into this I'm going off to do some things around here before Joshua wakes. I really want to sleep too yes but the work is calling my name - my bed or even the floor or the nearest rest spot seems to be shouting at me. Yeah they all want to know what I'm waiting on to dive in. It looks great on paper - I mean here but hmmmmmmmmm I've work to do.

So yeah I'm off, but don't start to lash that tongue of yours because I'll be back.

Passion

What are you passionate about? Is it gardening? Card playing? Art? Dancing? Yeah what's your passion? And do you do some of it each day or are you like some who plan to do so after retirement?

I live my passion everyday of my life - I'm always creating something and I'm loving it. Do you share your passion with others or are you keeping it to yourself? I'm a firm believer in sharing, because when you share your gifts they'll grow. If you don't it's like have money and saving it underneath a mattress - it'll not get any interest that way.

When you work in an environment that facilitates the growth of whatever you are passionate about - it does not feel like work. I am fortunate to be such a person and I'm just loving it. I work in a bead store with the most wonderful people and customers. At home I design and make jewellery for the purpose of teaching - I want to pass on this knowlegde for the "thing" to grow. Some people believe that if they pass it on others will get better. For me that's a sign of insecurity ( well that's my opinion anyway) and my blessings will always be mine. So when I'm gone - yeah passed on,hopefully as many people as possible would have benifited from what I have/had to offer. "Give and you shall receive...."

Family Time

Here I am again. Wow thanks for that tongue lashing - it really hit see I'm back twice in one day. I'm gonna make dinner ( I don't know what yet) and sit and relax with my family and watch a movie. I'm looking forward to that.

I overheard some ladies talking about the importance of families doing something together once a week and that's my intention for the weekends. It's that time when we'll all be at home and we'll spend some quality time together.

I was taught that "the family that prays together, stays together" and that too has to me a vital part of our lives. there are so many things to be thankful for in this world where selling bad news seems to be the order of the day many a time. But I know in the midst of it God is up to something good, so I'm good.

Now I'm singing that some in my head ... "What if God was one of us.... yeah yeah God is good." For real He is good. So tongue lasher thank you for the inspiration. I gonna make dinner before my family starts to eat each other, I don't think I'll be eaten cause I'm making dinner LOL.
