On Monday, August 6 the ‘big little’ island of Jamaica celebrates 50 years of independence!

On that same day this feisty little Jamaican-American will post her first blog EVER (this one doesn’t count  :).  This, in part, to celebrate my own independence from living a life I have felt forced to live, and finding the courage to risk living the things I truly believe.

You will laugh, you will cry, you will think I may be a little crazy, but so much fun! You will tell your family and tell your friends, and together we will keep it real and have a blast!

Forgetting the past, refusing to be anxious about the future, today is the gift from the heart of God;  so I am making good choices and praying I don’t screw it up…just living the thing!

Maranatha!
