It’s been some time since I last traveled to Jamaica and I am starting to feel the pains of missing my island home. I wish so badly that we were back in Negril right now but sadly it looks like we will be missing out altogether in 2012. Unless something big happens or changes I do not think we ...

Early afternoon on December 29, 2011 Grandpa was ready to go and vote. He’s voted in every election for which he’s been available and eligible so Jamaica’s 16th general election was no different. As we prepared to take him – me, younger sister, mother – he said the above: A vote is a very important thing. Then I hadn ...

Dec 19 Where Are the Songs About Tivoli?
Last week on my way home I was listening to U2′s “Under A Blood Red Sky.” When “Sunday Bloody Sunday” came on I put it on repeat and let my mind wander. It’s not the first time that “Sunday Bloody Sunday” has gripped me in this way…something about this song gives me chills, from the words to ...

Nov 11 Amid the Cacophony…
I’ve been thinking about what to post today…so much trouble in the world and my spirit is disturbed by much of it. There is a great noise in my head.

Nov 08 Penn State University and The Golden-Age Home (Updated)
The recent news about an apparent child sex abuse cover up at Pen State University is so very angering and disturbing to me. I don’t understand how university officials could not have have reported the incident witnessed by the grad student to the police. Even if not legally required (two now former Penn State officials are challenging whether, under ...
Oct 20 Guest Post | My Mother’s Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Last year when Mikaelia told me that her mother, Angella, had been diagnosed with breast cancer my heart dropped. Someone else? Again?

Soon she was ...
