  For a ll the Jamaicans out there, we would've celebrated Jamaica day. However, due to Covid 19, we feel like we've lost the passion and the feel of this extraordinary day. On January 1, I stated that no matter what we need to let this passion run free.  Yes we can't get to socialize with friends, but just listening to music and celebrating with family is good enough. I feel deprived of my culture because of some virus but if that's how we need to keep safe we have to.  The point I'm making is don't forget who you are. Remember your ancestors and their culture that was passed down to you. Embrace your culture because one day something may appear out of the blue and you will feel deprived. Spread the love and we will talk next time. Bye!!

  I am pretty sure we were exposed to the world in which one would say , " My nose is so big, or " My lips are too small." These people say that based of: a) opinions, b) low self esteem and c) no self love. Let's take a look at these.     Bad opinions don't matter. If you listen to these the persons either dislike you or don't know what they are saying. Most times the person just doesn't know. It is your body just remember that let your thoughts shape you and not the influence of others' mere opinions. Low self-esteem is one that is popular amongst us, humans. We shouldn't allow ourselves to feel low. It can lead to depression, and a lack of confidence. You do anything to higher yourself and one of those things is surgery. It won't make you feel higher but lower and lower. Why does it makes you feel lower? Because you are changing who you are to who you weren't made to be. Stop and Think Guys!! Finally, self love. This boost has a big imp...

  There are a lot of things to be thankful for. I cannot count the number of blessings that were bestowed upon me in 2020. Indeed I am blessed. I am undeserving of God's love. This year as we embark upon trials let us remember we can overcome them. A verse that is not strange to me is Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ that strengtheneth me." If God can bless us, who says that He can't strengthen us and keep us. After all, pain is temporary but life in heaven is forever. You have to struggle to succeed. Let this be your motivation a quote that stands out for me: The author is unknown let this encourage you to be thankful for whatever is thrown your way because there is a purpose for everything. I hope you guys will stay positive and remember no pain, no gain, make sacrifices, and be grateful for the Lord's blessings. Let that keep you and be with you. Have a great day!!

  Every single year, we hear; 'I'm going to work out this year,' or 'I'm going eat healthier this year.' These are what we call resolutions. Resolutions are basically setting goals. These goals are extracted from our past year's imperfections.    Setting goals is one thing, but keeping and maintaining them is another. Think about it like this, you are going to get fit this year, you do it once and then procrastinate and procrastinate and procrastinate, you do this all year, next year comes along and the cycle starts again. It is just a waste of time. Instead set goals that are SMART . SMART GOALS WORK!!  If you say 'I'm going to work out,' ask: 1. What type will I do?  2. How long would it take to achieve this? 3. Am I prepared to achieve this? 4. Is this realistic? 5. When will I accomplish this? These are a few questions you have to analyze, internally. When you believe you can do it, believe in yourself. That takes me to my next point. BELIEVE...
